well if it performs like the glasscannon tanks we have now that's not an issue.

If it's more resilient than the current MBT's though that's amusing. They really have no idea what they're doing when it comes to vehicle:infantry balance.

Wow Harasser + Burster MAX =obsolete Skyguard!

Thanks bpostal. While I know that kind of bitchslapping ownage won't make it live it made my day better!

at least the buggys will fill the role of the prowler from planetside 1.

a driver, a maingunner (max in rumble seat) and a secondary gunner.

so finally the dedicated drivers who don´t like to shoot while driving have a vehicle of choice now.

Recording of our stream tonight.

The Vulcan? SERIOUSLY? That's worse than giving the Magrider the Vulcan, lols. I really hope they rethink that weapon possibility. There will be no reason to pull any ground armor if that goes live!

IF they're going to do that style of weapon setups for that turret, then the gunner seat needs to be open cockpit style so you can shoot him.

Either way, saving certs now for this beast. 2k ready, thinking I'll need ~3.5 to fully cert?

Oh, and your driving skills... HammaVS would fit right in on Waterson ;P

I can see it now... Harasser: The NEW face of AOD tank zergs.

Welp, I am really excited for it. I was expecting wraith cloak, although I knew this would be OP as fuck. I am also extremely excited for GSD on it, because I have been soo annoyed not having on any vehicle except my bang bus, which requires more than 1 person to drive.

10,000 is not enough to fully cert a vehicle.

By fully I mean with one 1k weapon and each slot with one maxed certification.

1000 SC for the new helmets? That put a damper on my excitement for their release... 600 SC is already too much, unless the 1000 SC purchase is for ALL classes (in which case it's all good).

The Buggy does look fearsome on paper. Good thing they are launching it on the test server, see how it fits in the vehicular ecosystem. I hope it doesn't render the Skyguard (or MBT's for that matter) obselete. Surely can't be as tough even with Composite Armour. Plus the MAX is in a vulnerable rumble seat. We'll have to see, haven't had a chance to dl the test server client yet.

yah forgot the weapon..
weapon would be 1k purchase, 2k ammo, 2k mag size/reload to decent levels?

Was more talking about the vehicle itself.. ~800 for performance? ~800 for defense? ~1000 for utility? ~2000 for acquisition?

not sure.. downloaded the new test last night, will check it out after work

oh god, i just watched the lancer max. <3 Higbys

according to the tweet from Matt Broome 1k of SC = unlocks for all classes except the MAX.
I can dig that.

I won't pay beyond 250sc per helm per char so this works out as 200sc each which is A-OK in my book.

The dual lancer on the VS MAX is insanity - I showed it on my stream. The thing is a beast but overall fairly inaccurate at range. The NC Sparrow is pretty fun, similar to the engy turret and laser guided. The TR is more dumbfire rockets that are double barreled.

It's going to take weeks to clean up this incoming mess (nerf/buff balance passes). Between lockdown Dual Burster MAX's, Vulcan Buggies and the NS MAX weapons the Forumside Inferno is going to be glorious!

Hehe, indeed.

I don't play the MAX but the new cosmetics for it on the PTS I thought looked pretty good and a step in the right art direction on all 3 factions. Looking forward to new infantry armor as well.

I liked them all but the VS Starfire. We're technologically advanced with no style -_- Our beastmode dual lancer MAX looks like it's using two Beamers -_-

Carbon Copied · 2013-04-25, 10:25 AM

Think my favourite look was Xeno for the VS out of all of them - only one that I thought looked odd was the TR one that made the MAX look like a Marvel action hero/villian..
