Getting the Alpha Squad bonus back is pretty awesome

, I had totally written off ever getting that one back, let alone having it be 50%.

Anyone else having the problem that recharging depleted shields or jump jets take waaaay longer then intended? I counted 20 seconds on some occasions...

The AV Turret is pretty awesome. I smell a nerf creeping in

Decals, Camo's I'm sure I'm missing something else, wasn't worth it?

Maybe he was already in Beta. Most bought it for Beta access or Name reservation. Since the boost did suck, and we didn't even know for sure what 12 weapons it would be. And the camo's/decals also suck. At least now the Boost is nice enough it feels like it was money well spent.

As for this patch thank god for revive invulnerability being removed. I still want Sundy invuln removed too though. Just so annoying to come across an enemy Sundy an be helpless if you have no C4. Cant even engage the spawners as they can just eat your bullets while setting up their shot on you.

Maybe do what you're supposed to do (and what everyone does that can't deal with a Sunderer due to their loadout): tell people it's there so someone can deal with it and/or go get some stuff to deal with it yourself.

Farming the people spawning there only to get shot after a few dozen kills =/= helping.

Yea the Alpha Squad thing is epic win.

Everyone just remember to not unequip the Alpha Squad boost because if you do you will probably lose it forever like I previously did.

amazing changes for a hotfix, me likey

good to see SOE throwing us alpha squad buyers a bone...twice. My customer satisfaction with SOE keeps reaching new levels.

Woot woot?
Seems like I'll have to Log-In again and go full engi... AV Mana Turrets is the one feature I waited for...

Can anyone give some details? Can you buy it through Certs or only SC? How much does it cost? What does it do? Fire a rocket like the HA Standard AV Launcher? What is the fire-rate? Endless Ammo like the normal Turret?

I'm kind of hyped... sadly I probably won't get to play until tomorrow :-(

I believe both, I think you get it just like any other weapon.

How much does it cost?

I think the cost is the top tier (1000 certs/700 SC).

What does it do? Fire a rocket like the HA Standard AV Launcher?

It's more like some of the rocket secondaries on tanks than the AV launcher, except you can guide the rocket where you want it to go (it follows where you aim).

What is the fire-rate?

I think i've seen it said that it's one shot every 6 seconds or something, down to 4.5 seconds with certs.

Endless Ammo like the normal Turret?

Yah, it works on an overheat system like the normal turret, just that one shot overheats the entire thing in one go.

Thanks for the info mate :-)
*Sigh* Guess it's time to get some SC, gladly saw it works with PayPal as well since I have no credit card

Guess SOE finally got me :-|
