Looking forward to seeing the lumifiber trim in game.

*edit*
Nevermind. Seems to have been an isolated issue.

1. Aim at a set point while in the Warp Gate, fire your weapon and note how the recoil, muzzle climb and COF bloom feels. Hopefully this is with all of the attachments on and working.

2. Enter the VR, test some weapons and different loadouts and then return to an active continent.

3. Look at your loadouts, you will notice your weapon attachments are as they should be. Pick that same point on the wall and test fire..notice anything?

4. Remove and restore all the attachments in the loadouts, resupply and run another test firing....what do you see?

5. Rage?

Ill have to give this a look. I noticed despite many reports that using VR never once reset any of my loadouts visually. Ill have to double check some of my lesser used ones to see if its just a visual issue, however. Thanks for the heads up.

You mean the fact that I seem to have gone from 'merely shit' to 'utterly pointlessly shit' at this game over the last few weeks, despite having certed up weapons with attachments that should make me 'slightly less shit'....might be partly down to a bug??

That's.....quite a revelation.

It could also be the server you're on. Try experimenting around different servers to see if you enjoy them or not. FPS might also be an issue. There's a wonderful guide in the Tech Forum called "Low FPS? Ailos' guide to having a better experience V2" that would be able to help you.

I have struggled more to enjoy playing on Miller, because most of the other players are significantly better and I get steamrolled; but I figured if I want to improve I need to be learning from others who know what they are doing, rather than happy-assing around as I was on some of the other servers.

It's more been a case of feeling that my individual effectiveness has gone down a lot of times, compared to where it was previously; I've had more of those bad sessions where I just can't seem to hit anything.

And I'm wondering if those were the session where I went and piddled about in VR first......maybe not, but it's certainly something to consider...

lumifiber trim looks great on the TR and NC stuff. dont have VS so not sure how it looks on them. you can turn it on and off like lights which is awesome. was asking for strobes on aircraft. other friendly pilots might see you and not fly in to you. im gona use them like we do today. only have them on in friendly areas.

they do look awesome though. the Reaver one is very nice.

That has been fixed, as far as anyone getting anything new. However, those with "free" weapons still have them. Also, you cannot cert anything into these.

It's real. I didn't know why at the time, but my Orion was suddenly "broken" weeks ago, and I haven't used it since. I kept telling my outfit mates that the forward grip wasn't doing anything on my main character (and was working fine on my alts), but they thought I was crazy.

I was surprised to the the lumifiber on an NC Galaxy on Briggs about 2hrs before the servers went down for the Hotfix.

Very bright and stands out like dogs balls, good luck to the disposable income crew.

Now if only every Vanu soldier had the same level of luminosity as this cosmetic, Auraxis would be a truly wonderful place!

havent tried the NC larger aircraft. looks awesome on my TR Gal. the fact they can be turned off is great. fly over a drop site with 4-5 gals then just before drop on goes the lumifiber lol. would look cool
