SOE really needs to stop this kind of shit. They have a few decals sexualizing and objectifying woman already. That and their creative director openly discussing taking drugs on twitter really hurts their image
e: I am not interested in pursuing a debate on this issue.

FUCK YES!
I live in Canada, so I don't have memorial day holidays. What I DO have is Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off by pure coincidence. Its just how my work week fell this week.
FUCKING AWESOME.
Agreed. Buying the NC one because it'll make me feel like a WWII pilot.

Free Chivalry weekend, BF3 double XP, Planetside 2 patch and double XP, and big raids planned for DayZ...GAH.
Guys just updated and DLed an 8GB update since its been a while.
Now im getting crashes every time I travel for a few miles. WTF never had this issue before.
I used to play 1080P/High settings all day, evry day. Now feels like my SLI GPUs aint cutting it. Did they change shit for the worse recently?

LOSE IT!! LOSE IT!!!!
If you're playing on Mattherson you're in the middle of some very extreme conditions that the servers are having trouble keeping up with. Half of the of the VS force and most of the TR force was at the VS warpgate, the other half of VS and NC all at Scarred Mesa. 2000 players in a very condensed space is choking the system.
Ah! Makes sense, I did not know that amount of players were playing on that map.
Ok feel a little better. I was feeling like my system had some issue.

Lol I didn't run over anyone
, tho I did get us stuck nearly vertical haha. Glad that we saved Indar but that was a mess by SOE with the restart messagesLol I didn't run over anyone
yeah. "We're reseting in 5 minutes"
forgets for 30 minutes
"ok, we actually meant 5 minutes....from now"

Oh shut up. It's clear what the point of those decals are...
Must everything objectify women nowadays? Are women models objectifying women?
Anton Sugar

Eh, just because it's based on decals from a historically sexist period of time, doesn't excuse it.
That said, just add versions with sexualized men and call it a day!

Really doesn't make a whole lot of sense that Scarred Mesa only has the one jump pad access to it. There ought to be a teleporter as well.

my god, we're pushed all the way to ceres farm and it really turned into a farm, got 250 certs in about 1:15 lol

Can you link Higby's drug discussion on twitter? I remember him talking about marijuana before but it was just in regards to legalization.
as in right now?
razgriz417

yes right now, with boost im now at 300 certs. We pushed NC to peris amp but TR is still sitting at our wg
We've pushed all the way up and are taking Peris now
No I will not, as I don't mean to personally attack him as he is free to do whatever he wants, I just would like to see their most public personality and social interaction platform not soliciting it.

whew what a great Indar defense by VS, 2 hours to go from only having Ceres Biotech to taking back Peris amp and regant rock. Was a nice ~350 certs too haha
It was a glorious defense, we had the entirety of the TR and the VS in one Hex with the NC pushing in too.
I will admit the lock would have been compromised if it weren't for the new Lattice system preventing the TR from pushing forward.

Log in after months of not touching the game, wtf you die so much faster now. Even as a max folks just run at you and make you go poof with some of these guns. And what is the latice system? I dont see anything different about the game
Check the map on Indar, no more hex's.

It's only on Indar? really?

The other 2 are still being reworked, don't expect them for a bit
Ah it was a we made a valiant effort but alas, the VS can only hold off the combined effort of two factions for so long.
I'm proud of how long we held Indar, but I don't think I want to be tied down to a continent anymore. Indar will always be the homeland in my heart, but at least now it doesn't restrict us.
Good game NC/TR
Mikey Jr.

Yep, you pretty much had the combined efforts of TR and NC pushing you. Nothing was going to stop that force. You guys did hold onto indar for an incredible amount of time though.

I believe someone was spamming 44 days as the official number. Wonder who will cap it next? All I know was that I was completely starved for resources between fighting on Indar last night and earlier today.
It led to some pretty crazy fights though so that was fun.
The TR now appear to be steam rolling the NC though so that alliance is officially ended haha.
They're showing off esamir updates on FNO atm
Gen that controls spawn shields, terminals, turrets coming to PTS soon
WIP lattice
New facility mushroom shields that blocks all projectiles from entering or exiting. Does not stop players, vehicles, etc. Planned to launch as always-on, possibly generator controller later. These will go live with the Esamir battle flow improvements, then Amerish will get them in its update, and then Indar will get another update with them. Temporarily just using the biolab blue/hex shield visuals, planned to be NS yellow. Note that they are not dome shields, shots can be arced under them by infantry and ground vehicles, these are intended to stop libs and rocketpod ESFs from farming specific areas.
The south side of Eisa is now a designated infantry only zone via shields and walls. They're going to be using these new tools to make an effort to create more infantry zones.
Currently they have these on a lot of facilities
Walled off infantry only facilities
More cover from the addition of more trees and rocks

Walls! Glorious walls!
Not sure about the shield bubble though. Seems kind of like a janky way to curb vehicle spam. I'd rather see bases with a larger interior component.

I cannot wait for that.
Seems like they're gearing up for more hacking ability type stuff, IMO.
Also, Esamir has christmas trees now
Didnt they have things like this in PS1 though? Then you had to drain the bases' energy to power down the shields so vehicles could get in. I think it's just a different take on that and it's just a band-aid for now until they actually operate on the wound.

Hah, real classy Sony, send me an email with the notification that there's free premium until June 1st and get some exclusive decals for coming back, click the thing that shows me info and the page won't load...so now I have to reinstall the game just to see these skins.. XD

Wow, that looks great! I am mainly an ESF pilot, but I always felt there needed to be more emphasis on the infantry v infantry gameplay. Biolabs are that, but we definitely need more. Looks like they are creating mini biolabs.
Especially good that this is on Esamir. Being infantry on Esamir is brutal.

There was usually like one major base per continent that had a full bubble shield. Some had shields at the courtyard gates and some were just open.
One of the Goku guys just posted this on the Planetside Subreddit
Gotta love them Skydock disco kits.

Gotta say, double xp + lancers + tank columns = rolling in certs. Cant count how many assists I've gotten killing Prowlers, Lightnings and Sundies at Quartz ridge today

Damn, bruh, I'm gettin' mad certy with it.
Yeah we set up outside of the NC warpgate on Esamir earlier today and had a massive battle with the Goons' air and armor.
Many certs were had from the lancer squads we set up.
