New infil bug

[Madcow]

Yet another new bug that has popped up in the last patch. Tanks don't have to be going top speed to kill an infiltrator. As a matter of fact, they can be barely moving and it's instant death. I guess that would make sense if every foot soldier was equally vulnerable, but that's not the case. Just the invisible guys. After getting squashed a few times I took a tank out and tried it. Rexo or agile? I shove the guys around. Infil? Squish.

Just last night I found a Magrider with no driver but a gunner, I pulled the standard infil CE move of running around the Mag dropping mines so that they'd instantly go off when they formed. After dropping a couple the driver arrived back at the Mag and got in. The instant he did I was killed, apparently the slight movement of the Mag as soon as he got in the driver's seat was enough to squash me.

Where's the love, devs?

* Fixed a bug in ground vehicles where running over users with 0 armor will not kill them, but users with some armor points die instantly.*

I guess they tweaked it just a little too far... do an /appeal in the game if this is true. I for one have to say I'm happy you can actually run over infils for once and kill them. Never understood that bug, when I can run over a max and death and run over an infil and nothing.

Actually, cloakers are now the ONLY thing a magrider can mow. I ran over someone in Agile 3 times in a row at top speed and he was still alive.

A car moving 22kph hits a pedestrian... That's enough to break the pedestrian's knees/pelvis and cause them to fall in front of a wheel.

It may be a bug, but it's not completely ridiculous.

People think one-shot kills are cheese, didn't you get the memo?

But NC's love cheese.... :rolleyes:

I agree, if all soft targets are impacted equally. I don't care what kind of armor you're wearing, when a tank rolls you over he doesn't need to be moving too quick to have the end result be death. Because it's only infiltrators who can get mowed under by a mighty breeze, I've gotta think it's yet another bug that makes infiltrators lives more difficult.

[Veteran]

Agreed. I flick Darklight on hundreds of times per playsession, despite the perceived threat by cloakers.

Cloakers need some lovin'. Vehicle bumpers need some cleanin'.

[Jagd]

There aren't a lot of cloakers left out there. I traded in my audio amp for Darklight vision last week and it has only bagged me 3 cloakers the whole time. Cloakers are either a dying breed, or people are starting to use the infiltration suit as just one part of their toolkits.

Heck, my char is a dedicated infil and I use agile more than infil now adays. Indeed, the days of the infil suit may be comeing to an end.

Not a chance, although I must admit I'm spending more time in tanks than I ever used to. Of course, I've been concentrating on my NC alt and the Vanguard is too freaking fun not to use. With every empire I end up reverting to infiltrator, bugs or not it's what I'm best at. I'm a stubborn sob, and I refuse to let the complete disregard by the devs dictate what I'm going to play.

[SilverLord]

Sand...In my opinion I think the infiltrator is a work of art if you have the patience to play him whilst respawning over and over to complete your objective. I have a main character grunt that I play but when I'm in the mood to fly and infiltrate, i use that trusty alt that is so fun to use. Hopefully the bugs will be fixed soon with the infiltrator.

also, dont think atv can run ppl over, wouldnt work for me anytime for my :love: wraith

[Angel_of_Death]

With the new Rexo, we'll start seeing less and less infils.

A pity, it was probably the funnest class.

i will NEVER leave infil

I'm getting more kills an an Infil now than ever before. Without the impatient ones fux0ring it for the rest of us, I have been discovered less often by seemingly random DL sweeps.

Just because you didnt kill them doesnt mean they arent there. Have you ever thought that "Hey I dont see alot of cloakers........good their doing their job" not "oooo I see no cloakers so there are no cloakers". Cause like isnt it their job NOT to bee seen

[SandTrout]

Cause like isnt it their job NOT to bee seen yeah, and its so hard to use darklight vision or look at your radar piriodicly...

There are fewer infils out there. I've noticed because I scan with DLV at least once a minute when I'm not in a vehicle, and I can spot a runing cloaker easaly without DLV.

[Queensidecastle]

The Rexo indeed slapped a huge nerf to Infiltrators as a style of playing Planetside, but the solution is the Spiker. Now of course I am a huge advocate for getting all of our pistols up to snuff because it was criminal how the Devs tweaked the clips and ammo boxes for just about everything in the game except for the Pistols, but the short term solution really is the Spiker. Its very unfortunate to be forced to get MA as an infiltrator but we really dont have any other choice for killing while the Devs totally ignor us.

Incidentally, 2 Magriders played pingpong with me last night and they never killed me. I am not sure why, but I was taking very little damage while they were trying to run over me.

[Madcow]

Yeah, I got mowed twice last night and wasn't killed either time. I'm thinking they hotfixed something there as well.

[ZeroShadow]

Its jsut all the bugs out there that hurt us infils. But, I think once the patch with the silent run and all the other good stuff comes out youll see alot more on the battlefield. But, they will be killing alot more also b/c of the grenade thing, where u can have 3 for 1.
