lumifiber on the MBT

RSphil · 2013-05-22, 11:23 AM

hi all, just made a video for the game update and noticed that the TR MBT has a lot of lumifiber on it and looks like it was just slapped on. i think it need another look at by the devs. it looks bad.

the NC and VS ones however look great. i cant play VS for the life of me but i keep trying and their lumifiber stuff looks great. really fits with their tech appearance. the NC one looks good. not too much and positioned well.

TR awful looking too much and looks like a quick job imho.
what do you guys think?

no, only noticed when I made my video for the update today. I posted it on YouTube but will maybe do one just for the lumifiber an the tanks. I'm sure there some pics out there by now.

It doesn't look terrible to me on the Vanguard, but it looks like it could use more to it. I am sure if enough people comment about it they will do a touch up like they did for the Scythes.

The TR and VS do look better. At first I really wanted the TR, but the VS looks really good and since the magrider already glows in the rear.. more light can't hurt haha.

Thanks for the quick vid. I wish the VS part was at night like the other 2 though.

Ye was gutted the vs one was in the day. only have 1 vs, rest of the servers where dark and the 1 vs one I had was light lol. hope the do give the TR one another pass. the others look great though.

TBH I am baffled anyone would like to buy any thing in this game that gives off a light source at all.

Who the hell wants to be more visitable and make themselves an easier target?! I mean thats way you have disco balls on the Abraham tank too right? Oh wait no military in the world use that! I wonder way

Because in the bright, glittery, light festooned future there is only war and the laughter of sick and twisted devs will be heard throughout the Galaxy.

That is not the Prowler, of all the vehicle design choices they've made for PS2, that thing masquerading as our MBT is the worst, it needs to get thrown out with the bath water and a real tank put in.

I don't know... I take it as a personal insult from SOE that they put stuff like that into the game. How fucking retarded do they think we are?

they made the game especially for fucking retarded people who throw out money to buy shit like this or the giant terran clownhat. and there seem to be enough retarded morons that buy those things.
it´s like cellphone scamsoftware and ringtunes nobody with a brain would buy but still they are advertised on tv all the time.

so they have to put in stupid stuff to make the idiots pay.

if they wanted to draw money from the intelligent players, they would slap the lumifiber things on every vehicle and soldier, and sell the option to turn them off.
i would actually like this more, because with lumifiber the game looks more scifi and i could finally figure out what i have to kill without getting teamkill messages.

Yikes that does look pretty bad.

I don't know... last night fighting the VS at night... tons of stuff glows. At least on ultra settings. Once a fire fight starts against VS there is so much glowing stuff that it's hard to see other glowing things. If you look at a VS by himself you can see his gun glowing.. but if there are bullets flying past you and there is a VS on the other side of those bullets it's hard to tell if his glow is from the bullets passing by or if it is a player. The game definitely looks WAY more scifi. Especially when fighting against the VS.
