Maybe MirrorDT didn't make the cut?

that´s surely the case... t-ray is getting old, after all he is SENIOR art director

and he loves VS and purple - that´s another sure sign of dementia.

so the vs will get lockon as addition to the system they love. not to replace it.

but nc seems to be losing their favorite missile and get a less useful replacement (and the lockon addition as well).

our camera guided missile will be replaced by a laser guided if i understood it right.
so to lead the missile to the target nc will have to leave their cover now.
but it was mentioned that they are still playing around with camera guiding so there´s still hope

I didn't watch the webcast yet, but what the actual fuck is going on, SOE

This is how PSU works

Step 1 - Speculate

Step 2 - Believe your speculation to be FACT!

Step 3 - Make a thread to complain about "facts"

As a hard core NC, I have to admit that the Lancer was hands down the best VS AV weapon.

basti · 2012-02-25, 07:53 AM

I am now confused. Weapon lead talks about the old stuff is still in, T-Ray says no? Wha?

It was the only handheld VS AV Weapon <.<

Maybe this is why you're NC =P

And idk, i'm pretty sure the lasher fiasco was just to balance out DT in the long run.

But I really will being able to snap right to a target and have it take damage with no prior warning. Was even viable indoors.

texico · 2012-02-25, 09:13 AM

^ lol.

Seriously though, it was the best AV weapon, and I'd loot them if I had the chance. Could even snipe infantry with them, the charge before each projectile felt great, and imo it was the most useful for destroying aircraft for any body with reasonable aim, given its ROF and projectile speed.

DaddyTickles · 2012-02-25, 09:19 AM

Tbh, I'm sadder about the pheonix which was way more fun, and I say that as a VS player.

Duddy · 2012-02-25, 09:25 AM

Indeed sad to hear the Lancer isn't in, out of the AV it was certainly the most fun to use IMO. Whilst I agree with giving everyone the striker equivalent it is a boring weapon TBH. :P

SniperSteve · 2012-02-25, 09:51 AM

Pretty sure it is in. >.> Watch the webcast.

basti · 2012-02-25, 09:55 AM

Someone needs to play the higby card of truth, or we just keep spinning around, as there are no clear information.
I would but i got +10 annoyance right now. Damn NC debuffs!

ThGlump · 2012-02-25, 11:18 AM

Looks like lancer is gone and we get another AV beside that lockon fishstick.
