AV mana turrets. Oh yes!

[WSNeo]

I'm at work right now. Can someone upload a video of the AV MANA turret in use?

WHERE IS THE BUGGY? Please don't show a symbol on the patch update on FB if there is no bloody buggy.

I've not tried it but the description in game seems to suggest it can be switched

Wait so for $39.99 USD you didn't want to buy it because of the boost?

So the 4,000 SC (40 USD Value)
12 Guns Unlocked (4 guns per faction. I am not sure on what SC value that would add up too.)
Decals, Camo's I'm sure I'm missing something else, wasn't worth it?

[MaxDamage]

Good hotfix

[Ruffdog]

When they say AV turrets I'm sure they also mean ANTI MAX turret too!

Hear that Haxsaws? Biolabs just got more interesting

[ColdCheese]

oh man the turret is a winner, so bad ass! free trialed it and took out a sundy with 4 shots and max with 2, guided missles should replace all lock ons, brings the skill back and tons of fun to use.

I agree when attacking ground vehicles. But when attaching air, there's no way you'll hit an ESF without lock-on, MAYBE if the missile were REALLY fast.

Unless you did guided for ground, and maintain lock for air.

Well...really you'd want to push patches early in the week, so if it breaks something you can get it working by the weekend, when most people play.

No, it wasn't. They recently made it so that the last few months would be a 50% boost, in case you weren't aware. I was rather pissed at both of these changes too, because no, it wasn't worth it in the beginning, at least to me.

4,000 SC is only worth 40 USD when you don't use a 2x or 3x SC day, I bought all the SC I needed on the triple SC day. (I used 3x day + walmart bonus card... which got me the equivalent of 4k for 10 USD)

4 guns unlocked for my faction, of which I really only use 1 of... since I rarely play any other faction (my primary outfit is single faction only) and some of the weapons don't really fit my playstyle.

Decals and Camo's... bleh... the camo's are obnoxious and don't camouflage anything (make you stand out even more) and decals are barely visible.

The 10% xp/resource was a nice thing... but with boosts able to do 50%....

I actually considered not buying it...



That said, I bought it.... I wanted to support the game and make sure SOE was rewarded in bringing the sequel to the game that ruined all other FPSs for me. (Money is not a worry for me... playing time is... so XP boost helps me feel like i'm able to keep up with all those gamers out there with so much time on their hands.)

What's nice about the Alpha boost is that they reset it to full 6 months again (starting from when you equip it)

That's a nice touch
