So who has all the Auraxium?

Rat · 2012-10-09, 11:31 AM

This isnt a bitch thread, I am just curious what empires and individuals have been gaining according to your BR.
I play TR, mostly solo, I am currently BR 7 and have earned a total of 3500 or so Auraxium.
So what are you guys in the other empires earning? I am sure that the TR have dominated at some point, but I just havent seen it yet.
Again, I am not complaining. I am having a lot of fun fighting the good fight.
Thanks.

I think I have about 2000 Auraxium as TR. Also I love how Chrome auto corrects "Auraxium" to "Uranium"

Careful, CIA might get on your tail if you mention the words uranium and plutonium and auraxium and Iran in one sentence. :o

Btw, there are no New Conglomerate Auraxium enrichment facilities on Esamir. These are all lies spread by the Terrans and Vanu propaganda machines.

No WMDs ?

That Vanguard canon definitely looked like a silo...

Evilhomer it honestly sounds like you don't want to understand the mechanics of the beta UI. Anyone who has spent 60 seconds going over each screen should know what to do. I just don't understand how someone who has apparently played since alpha just discovered Auraxium by reading this thread, it seem like you are severely lacking an attention span.

I really suggest you just take a few minutes to just look at the UI, scan over everything and play with it. This game isn't even out yet and we've all ready seen multiple UI changes so just be patient.

Have earn't 12500, bought the Hellfire missiles and now have another 2300, saving up for the bolt action sniper rifle for the VS.

And no farming required, just fight in bases being hacked or defended and kill lots and you wont have any issues gaining "wh0reaxium"

BR10 at the moment

Auraxium should be gathered at slower rate but from all continents not just the one you are spawned on. This will encourage players to fight for more territory instead of camping dominated continent.

Well im NC and as much I wanted to leave Esa to fight in Indar, the allure of the AUX farm and maxing out my nades and C4 was simply too great at times. I played Sat-Mon 8 hrs avg (rare for me but the holiday weekend gave me an excuse to go no life grinder for a bit) and in total I have earned 17000 AUX , Im BR 9 btw. Ive bought the reaper DMR and the right arm scat MAX, currently 500 away from my Crow.

Auraxium is the single biggest issue the dev team faces right now. It needs to be tied to personal performance and not bases/territory.

Exactly, remove it as a resource, link it directly to player points. Treat it as a players salary. The more you do, the more points you earn. Kills, caps, support and leadership should all have equal weighting towards points.

I totally agree with this, I dont have much auraxium because i havent played much this weekend but NC holding one continent doesnt help with the server balance at all.

I find the UI around that stuff to be so hideous and complicated that I cannot be bothered. I still don't know how to use other weapons or anything, just been using the standard stuff.

I play every game out there but Planetside 2's UI design is horrible, it looks nice artistically but man it is a mess. I find my mates saying the same thing too, they just become frustrated with not knowing what everything is and quit.

Funny because SOE have tried to make this game so accessible with F2P and all that but the UI will be the downfall.

So wait you can't be bothered with probably one of the most important pieces of the game?

Auraxium can be used to buy implants and in game weapons. Have you provided feedback on this "horrible" UI to the development team in the official forums?

Na everything you post over there either gets flamed or goes to page 2 so quickly.

I've just spent awhile with the Certs and stuff but it is very hard to navigate. I thought weapons and stuff for your vehicles would be under certs, I just kept buying upgrades for weapons thinking it would give me them when I put one cert in lol. Struggling to find where the weapons are since I started playing lol.

No wonder they're all in a store that tells me I have no station cash when I do. I haven't even got enough Auraxium to buy one thing, it's frigging mental. They said it wouldn't be pay to win but I bet each thing will be like $5 which to me seems better than spending a week to get one weapon.

Just hope they're account based and not character lol.

I have just over 12000 Auraxium @ BR8.

I farmed about 2000 of it one night while dropping ammo for those at the warp gate. It was +90 a tick so what ever a tick is you can work out how long I was there.
That will also include pushing the enemy back to the warp gates.

The rest is from battles good and bad on and off Indar and Esamir.
I dont fly so I am not sure what to spend it on.
That late night I was farming it I looked up the wrong weapons for the Sunderer and was going to by a Vanguard weapon by mistake.

Previous wipe I saved for twin bursters for the max but I really didnt see the benefit of the extra burster for such an outlay. And its really only a situational class anyway.

Eh, I wouldn't mind something like the current "Medal" system, where you'd gain a small set amount of Auraxium for a number of kills or specific actions...

...But I think a bigger issue is how territory control solely revolves around "Auraxium Hexes".
Everything else is secondary to capturing a Major Facility, it's the only thing that drives pushes in combat outside of locking a faction at their Warpgate...

I think a great change for the Resource Meta-game would be altering Major Facilities so that they didn't generate a set amount of Auraxium per tick, but instead their production was tied to how much of a specific Resource your Faction was bringing in.

So say you have a Bio Lab, it give you Auraxium based on the amount of Polymers your Faction was getting.
Now you not only have to defend your Bio Lab, you have to protect or capture Polymer producing Outpost as well.

Still, this won't solve the issues of Continent Whoring or Combat Stagnation, but I'm pretty sure those are more a symptom of Static Footholds and will hopefully get around to doing a write up on that in another thread.
