don't know about you but I thought the prowlers projectile speed was fine..... http://board.jdownloader.org/images/smilies/user/innocent.gif

[Sledgecrushr]

Some good stuff here. I like that the annihilator lock on is getting bumped to 3 seconds. Gives a reason to specialise your weapons.

Can't wait for those account bound SC purchases. My SKEP Gun is locked on a different server, so to speak.

[Assist]

No Magrider fix yet?

How convenient. People tell you not to nerf something, you say you're not going to nerf it, then it mysteriously gets bugged and seems to never be fixed!

edit: For those who think it's not relevant or doesn't need to be fixed, I ask you to look at population numbers of server. Notice the massive drop in VS populations across all servers since this 'bug'? I'm sure some of you will say you don't notice, unfortunately the population %'s are quite obvious during prime times for each server.

[maradine]

Very, very interesting. More or less what I've wanted for 2 months. Now, let's see if I'll like it. :)

[MrBloodworth]

Man, dude.

Again, if you can't accept that sometimes, things change from what someone told you, you are going to have a very hard life.

[NewSith]

Sunderer with ranger and walker = win.

[Pella]

Not sure what these ESF Changes are:

Gameplay adjustments:

ESF Composite Armor
Increased bonus against flak by 5% each rank.
Increased bonus against small arms fire by 2% each rank.

They are the same as last time. Or am i missing something?

Hey guy, please don't assume that I'm some kid and my life is going to be hard because I continue to press a subject that is flat out being ignored on these boards.

[Hamma]

I don't think anyone is ignoring it. Maybe it's stealth fixed. :P

Never assumed you were a kid. Also, ignored or completely disagreed with? :rolleyes:

I'm assuming, they mean +5% to the current bonus.

[Hamma]

Let's not make this a magrider thread. Instead, create a new magrider thread. Problem Assist is it's probably buried in other threads.. or I just missed it.

[ShadetheDruid]

Still no angry badger cannon for the Prowler? Sadface.

[Canaris]

If I had to put a classifcation on most VS players it would read "High strung"

[Tatwi]

For those who think it's not relevant or doesn't need to be fixed, I ask you to look at population numbers of server. Notice the massive drop in VS populations across all servers since this 'bug'?

And there ya go: Many people were only playing the VS, because Magriders were lolroflmaoEZmode over powered. That's why we used to see more Magriders than VS infantry (or any other unit) and it was sickening really...

Yeah, no sympathy from most people on that one man. Sorry.

Still no angry badger cannon for the Prowler? Sadface.

"Dancing Bear Distraction Cannon or nothing!", I say. Point, shoot, enthrall, capture the map in peace and harmony.

[Pella]

I'm assuming, they mean +5% to the current bonus.

Nope, Same stats.

But i think prior to this hot fix the -dmg% Reduction wasn't working.

I am almost certain that it wasn't working. As Small arms fire was really annoying. And Flak seemed OP.

Now im flying about its as it used to be.

[Assist]

or it's being completely ignored as the #1 reason VS population is below 30% on every single server right now.

[MrBloodworth]

No this is the #1 reason, WHY IS IT BEING IGNORED!!!!SHIFT!

I'd like to think most of us are pretty chill. You have to be to parade around in that outfit all day.

[Assist]

I didn't realize you guys were ok with populations being so skewed in a game that is sorely based on population.

I guess it's nice to know what kind of players post here.

[Pella]

Also Render distance has been improved.

[Assist]

Not from what I can tell, not many people on Waterson at the moment and I was having the same rendering issues at a fight at Crossroads.

Hhmmm, well I haven't noticed too much of a Vanu pop drop on my server. They were generally 10-15% higher pop than other factions, but now just 5-10% and sometimes we have a nice even pop across all factions.
I guess we have the Vanu with balls (<- figuratively speaking :P ).

[superseohyun]

vanu pop is fine on my server. ;p

[HiroshiChugi]

Assist, if you keep bitching like this, no one will take you seriously. Oh wait, it seems that no one is taking you seriously already. xD

Bet you were perfectly fine when it was the NC's turn to get devstomped.

[bpostal]

or it's being completely ignored as the #1 reason VS population is below 30% on every single server right now.

Just like when every TR player quit playing when the CARV was nerfed right?

The Magrider is broken, for whatever reason. Shit happens and the only thing we can do is let is ooze downhill until the pipe gets fixed.

[Neutral Calypso]

... I can make an AA sundy? o.o

Ha ha ha...

Hahaha...

MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH EAT IT, REAVERS!

[ShadetheDruid]

I think AA on the Sundies is a good thing, more Sundies around with weapons that can't hurt me and my C4. :p

[MrBloodworth]

Yeah, I have no problem with AA on Sundies. Its a true give and take on that specialization.

[maradine]

I consider a dual Ranger Sundy to be a cross-eyed, horribly uncoordinated DBMAX - ie, pretty comical. Reserving judgement on the dual walker setup until I've seen it run.

Also, to an earlier point, yeah, we lose our Sundies to C4 more than anything else these days.

[MrBloodworth]

Tank mines for me.

[DirtyBird]

Membership status info pane will correctly show players membership tier
Nope...

Which probably means something else got changed instead and we have to find it.


Forgot to add my positive bit.
Leaderboard is still working been at least 24hrs now?

[Chefkoch]

Imho Annihilator Spam is broken, there are fewer tank battles as a Anni Squad roflestomps everything they see.

Maybe it will get fixed with the lock on bug ? Or limit the ammount of rockets that can lock to a target ?

[maradine]

Or drop 5 zeph rounds into their pile? They love that. You can get 10 off in the flare cycle.

[Sturmhardt]

Still so many gamebreaking bugs... I often don't hit enemies with my shots (no hitmarker, nothing) and my button presses don't get properly recognized properly, like self heal for medic or reload... rally annoying. Didn't have problems like that before.

I had that a little bit today (shots not registering), and at one point my HA shield didn't want to activate.. but only when I needed it most, the rest of the time it was fine. :doh:

[Shamrock]

Sundy with AA, a good move; but yes killing kamikaze engies with tank mines or LA's with C4 will be problematical, its why I kit my sundy for Anti infantry and then pop a burster max if im babysitting my sunder.

[ChipMHazard]

How convenient. People tell you not to nerf something, you say you're not going to nerf it, then it mysteriously gets bugged and seems to never be fixed!

Convenient? I very much doubt that the devs regard it as being convenient, seeing as they have to find out what went wrong and fix it.
You don't still believe that the devs are, for some strange reason, trying to nerf the VS out of spite, do you?

Might I suggest that you stop it with the conspiracy theories about the devs and your fellow forum goers? We aren't out to get the VS, believe it or not the vast majority of us want a balanced game.
