We'll have to see about the prowler with the new changes. Personally I don't think it will change much. Just have to fire 2 shots instead on 1 and in anchor mode you can still spam the crap out of whatever you are shooting at.

Hi Hamma,

I have a few questions regarding the membership passive cert gain. So do I, as a member, get passive certs by the amount stated in the table without having to login in at all? I only am able to play during weekends, and I started to wonder if, instead of spending $120 on a year's membership, spending $120 on pure station cash would be more worthy because I get the cash instantly so that I can use them right away. Thank you!

You need to log in everyday. You build up the offline certs over 24hrs til a determined amount. So sadly if u don't play for 3 days ull only get the one days worth of passive certs.

TR - Striker: launches a series of mid-damage guided missiles at a single target[...]
You'll get US$ 7,00 from me, SOE. When they said how the rocket launchers would work but didn't say for which empire, I knew it was TR. We're always the guys with more shots. lol Prowler and Mini-chaingun, for example.
By the way, the Prowler change will make a nice balance. I think no more cries by now.

Not too happy about the account unlocks. It's pretty silly that they couldn't tie it with the other empire specific weapons.

I hope this is going to be released before friday. That's my next day off from work and I don't really have any plans for it besides school work.

And I can't wait to find out what kind of reimbrusement I'm going to get for the two duplicate max flak cannons I bought. If any.

Yup, I'm getting really tired of being 18-25% of the population on Waterson when I play. Was hoping mergers or account unlocks would solve this, but they have both failed me. I suppose I could play Vanu on another server, but I still lose all of my certs so it feels rather pointless.

Maybe it's because I have SC purchases only on two TR characters, but I am quite OK with the account wide unlock limitations. One needs to keep in mind that SOE didn't have to add any account wide unlocks at all.

They also don't have to get my money.

Personally this change has no value to me, and all it does is ensure I never try another faction or buy anything for it.

When exactly is this update coming out? I played last night, thinking that the update I went through was the game update 04, but it wasn't, as there was no VR Training area.

Last Friday we were told this week, yesterday we were told it was delayed a few more days. I'm thinking next week, maybe Tuesday.

Ok, thanks. I was sort-of disappointed last night, I wanted to try out the VR Training area sooooo bad! D: but I was fortunate enough to run into the H4TZ outfit last night and have a WONDERFUL time playing on different continents for a change. I can now say that my interest in Planetsside 2 is now perked back up again.

Satanam · 2013-03-06, 08:24 AM

If they add bots for the VR Training Area, think about a Singleplayer PlanetSide 2? lol

Missed this yesterday - but it's been delayed.
