Includes the heavy assault tweaks and some medic love.

[Ghost06]

Now 50% of the NC will go back to TR. After all, weren't they originally TR? The VS may see a few immigrants now too.

[NightWalker XI]

It would make me much happier if they mentioned somethin about fixing lockups for ATI users and fixing the colours on Liberators and Skyguards....

[NightWalker XI]

Wait just a fucking minute (sorry for the swearing but I nearly got a bonar over that)

Lightning with a 360 TURRET!

OMG this is nearly as good as the fake Britney Spears lesbian porno I just got of KaZaA!

[Navaron]

This, will be cool.

How long do you think it'll be on the test server?

[FearTheAtlas]

360 turret? Wonder how that'll be...and what was wrong with the nano dispenser effect?

[Recster]

I wish they mentioned something about fixing spit fire turrets. I'm so sick of getting shot by those things cause they were firing sideways instead of forward

edit: how do you get on the test server?

[Jarlo]

The engineer gun looked remakably like it was shooting spoog out.

Now Combat Engineers need a macro for "Ahhhh .... and I'm spent." everytime they wrap up repairing.

[Vis Armata]

The medic improvements ought to change the game a good deal, since the less people spawn, the less NTUs are consumed...might make bases more permanent. But who knows.

[MilitantB0B]

Yay! They fixed both gimp mobiles! (the thresher and lightning for those playing along at home) Nice, now I can drive my lightning around without feeling like an idiot who could be driving a vanguard instead. :D

[Bismarck]

grrr....I wish they would let reinforced armor ppl into the lightning. I'd rather have that than a 360 turret.

[Navaron]

Nah, that would be over kill. What they need is to let reinforced drive a deliverer. That's the day I buy a 6 month subscription.

[SumYungGui]

ah dammit, someone get me a towel. I gotta clean off the bottom of my keyboard after I read about the lightning.

[VecktorCorpus]

Anyone know what the icons they put on support guys are like? Couldn't find me a support person on the test server..and can't see my own soo.

Is it something like DL next to the name or what?...

oh yeah and I spent maybe a halfhour with someguy driving around blasting at each other in VR with the new lighting...all I got to say is I need a cigarette after that :O_O:

:drools: :whip:

[Recster]

[Vick]

They ruined the Lightning! Now I wont be part of the "secret lightning club kekekeke". 360 turret owns so hard everyone is gonna have it.

But yeah, it is awesome.

Lasher is gonna be overpowered, expect nerf Lasher thread soon.

ack, copy the entire planetside directory to a new location on your hard drive. take that new copied version and open it and find Planetsidetest.exe or something like that.

copy the executable to your desktop and viola...

also, i just had to get adv medic since it was like the only cert i hadnt tried and at its current state IT SUCKS....

but i am gonna keep it becuase they are upgrading it......people that just die really need to see where adv medics are, and in its current state its a guessing game, "should i wait 5 more sec and hope that MAYBE an adv medic will suddenly spot my carcus and decide to revive me, or should i just screw it" and most people, no in fact everyone screws it.

these are upgrades ive been waiting for....

Tru dat, brotha.

[Pyro212]

After the intial patch trst the lightning rush you will get your secret lightning club back with only a few extra members.

It still has weak armor not everyone will want it.

[kidriot]

the lasher is silly. only downsides are the fire rate will run your ammo dry very quickly and the high CoF.

lasher will be THE tower clearing weapon. the savior of Bio Labs everywhere.

[SumYungGui]

...you do realize the lasher bolts move soooo slowly that even in the mystical 'hallway' situation that everyone tells me they're perfect in they can still be lazily side stepped with little to no effort right?

burning through a 20 round clip 1.6 seconds faster isn't going to make it anywhere near as powerful as the jackspammer.

Why do you think we call it a caulk gun?

[Katanaboy]

bah, this last patch (which i really want to try) wont let me onto the test server, it keeps kicking me out to desktop...and its the same bug they were supposed to have fixed in the last patch...

with each new patch some problem is fixed, but another takes its place...

[Bismarck]

Welcome to SOE MMO's!

Hope you enjoy your stay.

[Winged_Nazgul]

I made a VS character yesterday to test out the Lasher. The changes were really noticeable and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see nerf teh Lasherz posts shortly after it goes on the real servers.

Today, I unlearned HA so I could try out the new Lightning. OMG, that is one sweet ride now! So I'm in Sanc waiting on the HART trying to decide where to go when Sporkfire makes a global announcement saying he's going to be attacking the only VS base on Hossin as an NC.

I get there in time to get my Lightning and cruise around the base a few times. Suddenly, I hear the automated turrets start up, so I look for the source. It's an Enforcer that's drawing fire as it tries to get into our base. I circle behind him and he's unaware as I open up with the 75mm cannon. A few shots later, I see this on my kill screen:

The new Lightning rocks!

[Jarlo]

LMAO killing sporkfire, that is classic 8)

Too much info :ugh:

[Kaikou]

Wow that lasher really does tear stuff apart now. Chaingun is probably still the worst of the 3 HAs but it's better, it might provide jackhammer users a challenge indoors now..

[Bismarck]

It aint worth 4 cert points.

[VecktorCorpus]

True Dat. :O_O:

[Lonehunter]

I've had the Mini-Chaingun for a while. But after I count up all the times I've been killed by a Jackhammer, I got rid of it so I could get the Rocklett launcher.

[Lise]

But those same 4 points let us loot Hammers and Lashers.

Plus, especially with the buffs its gotten it is certainly the best of the 3 if you get stuck outdoors with it.
