Okay

​

I've been playing PS2 since 2013 and it runs okay on my PC. Not super smooth, but I get around 40-50fps in heated battles.

​

I've just tested PSA and the game freezes for about 20-30 seconds each time I hit a key on my keyboard. Which is not exactly ideal. If I don't press anything, once the freeze ends, I can look around, no problem. For example, in the deploy phase, the ship flies okay, and once I press 'E' to get out, I drop, everything's smooth as long as I don't hit any key on the keyboard. If I press any key, it freezes again.

​

I tried reducing Video settings, but to no avail.

​

Any ideas ?

Okay so long story short, magrider shoots my mossie, I bounty him, and get back with C4, kills him. Classic. It's an easy way to work on the bounty directive.

Then the guy starts whining in yell chat, with a strange hackusation. He says I disconnected to C4 him, and that he can "see it in the video recording", that my C4 "doesn't even have a model". What does he mean ? I shouldn't bother, but I'm curious anyway. He seems to imply it's a well known cheat, or so I gather, it's a bit hard to dig through the immature insults. Anyone knows what's he's talking about ?

I got a kill with the Slasher, it didn't increase the count for the directive. I thought it was a Halloween weapon though. Is it just the Candy Cannon then ?

Hello, the servers are down, so yall have plenty of time to answer me :P

This is what I get :

"17:59:45: Starting BattlEye Service...

17:59:46: Launching game... 17:59:59: Note: File blocks can be ignored if they don't cause problems with the game. 17:59:59: [INFO] Blocked loading of file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Recursion\RecursionTracker\rtst_d3doverlay_x64.dll". "

The effect is that I don't have the Recursion UI ingame anymore. I can still hear the voice, and the stats are updating, but I don't have the UI, and I find I really miss it.

Furthermore, I'm kind of weary because I wonder if this means my installation has a problem somehow, and if that can lead to BattleEye believing I hav

So I just auraxed the third LMG on my NC alt. So far, I did :

• GD-22S : Easy to learn.
• NC6 Gauss SAW : After the other one, I suddenly felt super powerful, I loved it.
• LA1 Anchor : I thought it was a bit worse at first, but by the end of it it felt amazing.

So now I just started the EM6. It's not extraordinary, but I suppose I'll manage. For the 5th spot, I had thought to do the ol' NS-15M, but I'm wondering about the SAW-S.

Is it any good ? Is it like the SAW at all ?

Edit : Wow, okay, thanks guys, at least all the answers concur, I'll definitely do the NS-15M then. Which is good news since I had already put 160+ kills into it at the time the ADS was bugged with the NC LMG.

Yesterday, my son reached the last part of the Basic Training directive. So, use the Warpgate, pull an ESF, and get 3 kills with an ESF.

He had never used an ESF before, so we headed to the VR for a little half-hour of training, mainly crashing into trees and shooting still targets on the ground with the default nosegun.

Then I converted all his (not so) hard-earned certs into a Banshee with thermals and hover chassis lvl3, and we got back to Amerish. NC were attacking Onatha, so there were targets on the pods. After a first crash in a mountain, we tried a second time, and he got his three kills fairly easily. Then he had to bail, and got shredded on arrival by a HA with a shotgun.

Well, so the official tweeter feed uses shaql's excellent calendar for the holiday sales. But today was supposed to feature all 5 solid metallic camos, including the infamous yellow-that-is-not-gold. However, it is not available to me. Soon, they say.

Thus this post to express my inconsolable despair.

Okay, so I like to play my main character, and my two alts as well. Currently, when I track a directive on a character, it screws the others. Could we have completely separate tracked directives by character please ?

It would be a small step for PlanetSide 2, a giant leap of joy for me. Because, you know, I'm easy to please.

Looking for ways to slightly nerf the maxes without crippling them either, I had that idea, I'm probably not the first, but hey.

The thing is, when a MAX is holding a position, sustained by engineers, it won't change anything for him, but that's fine.

On the other hand, the lone MAX crawling in a tower, jumping people, that guy could be nerfed a bit. He will still be hard to kill without C4 or a launcher, but at least the others will know where he is. It will be an entirely different game of cat and mouse, and in my opinion a funnier one.

And I was so happy to finally get it. The directive for the Scythe. As a non-pilot, auraxium on 5 Scythe weapons wasn't easy for me. Aside from PPA/Hornets/Lolpods, which were a breeze. But groundpounding with the Saron/Hailstorm took me quite a while, even though my aim got better in the end.

And then, when I try it, I see no difference at all. No additionnal glow, nothing. I'm pretty sure I saw some Scythes or Mossies with special glowing trims before. Were they other trims than the directive lumifiber, or did it work then and not now ?

EDIT : Okay, so it works, when you know that you have to turn your lights on, thanks to every one who responded :)

Well; I just got a hackusation from a "fellow" infiltrator. I crept up on him, crawling, behind him, since he had put a dildar. I kill him then get a message like "reported, you didn't show on the map, etc...". I try to tell him (I know, right, I try to convince someone on the internet, I know) that I crawled behind him, he says he saw me running.

I'm not familiar with hackusations, I hate when it happens because the real hackers are helped by false hackusations. So I do my little ALT-F10 to record the last 5 minutes with Shadowplay.

Now I see that I don't have anything recorded on Shadowplay since the end of august. And I play everyday, I press ALT-F10 now and then to store funny sequence

Well well, a farming subreddit, just the place for me. I'm a careful farmer, I farm AND I avoid death. Real brave guy, you know.

I just obtained my very first directive weapon, the Skorpios. I'm on my (slow) way to the Parsec thanks to my new favourite weapon, the amazing (and previously said to be shitty) Phantom VA23.

But all that is still on the infiltrator class. Ideally, I'd like to diversify but I rely on the dildar sooooo much. And EMPs. And cloaking. Light Assault is tempting, but I don't know.

Are there other farmers out there who were like me and managed to use other classes sucessfully ?

I used to farm a lot of infantry, with the Scythe, the Magrider, the Lightning, even a Sunderer Kobalt, then I took an arrow in the thermal vision. But it's actually a really good thing. Infantry glowing right yellow on a dark background ? Even far away ? That was ridiculous.

I could snipe infantry with Python AP or Supernova FPC with ease. Guys that had found a sweet spot abovegrounds, for example. Or snipers with great cover, so easily spotted from the sky. Thermal vision completely negated the interest of camos.

I started to play more infantry recently, and to be honest, knowing what I knew about thermal vision made it so that everytime there was a tank or a plane around, I just felt li

Well I'm on vacation right now in Lanzarote, gorging myself and baking in the sun, swimming and sightseeing. Thing is, these dry landscapes remind me of Indar and I keep looking out for bouncing betties outside the restaurant or the toilets. There are so many attack routes to the pool I can't relax, so many sniping spots too. And I don't have my Parallax or my Eridani, damn those luggage restrictions ! How am I supposed to enjoy myself ?!

It's been 5 days already, I will do my best to survive. Yesterday I spotted a car rental featuring what looked like a Flash, I hope they have a model with Renegade...
