If you mean Scoped Sensitivity then I have already tried it and it doesn't change flight. BTW I also don't want my scoped weapons to be jerky so I can fly normally.

Great patch but the FPS drops + the texture bugs are worse

is the new ESF sensitivity control like wierd? i mean i played alot as a scythe pilot, and with the new patch, no matter how i tweak the sensitivity value, the pitch up and down speed is waaay lower then pitch right and left, using only the mouse.

Now here's some positive feedback:

I really like the changes they made to the tower spawn area. Now if you want to change class you can walk back to the terminals.

EDIT:

More positive feedback: I dig the half-closed shutters on some (all?) windows. Still no real "windows" and they hardly look sci-fi but good enough for now.

I love the new patch, lots of good things added, defending is finally a possibility.

BUT: Cloakers + SMGs, how fucked up is that? That's gotta go, it's as bad as cloacers with shotguns.

Plus I feel that the overall TTK is too low now, you get killed so fucking fast it's insane.

Perpetual liar? We know you are upset about the change, but there is no need for the personal attacks.

Just a heads up, I dunno how those twitter links things work, but Higby announced that the Magrider changes to the strafing and physics on slopes were not intentional (LOL) and they're working on fixing the "bug"

So, yeah. Told ya so? It did indeed change with the patch, quite dramatically but either they're backpedaling or a magical bug somehow changed the strafing and physics of the Magrider.

You're partially correct. The Magrider still got nerf that we "whiners" wanted, as you put it.
They will still not recieve a speed advantage when going up a hill while using forward+stafe.
So they weren't supposed to go as slow as they are now, because of the bug, but still slower than before.

Infiltrators could already carry fully automatic rifles, which were nasty at any distance. The SMG novelty will wear off.

I equate patching PlanetSide 2 to polishing a turd. Sure, you can make it look nice and attractive but at the end of the day it will always be a turd.

Yes, that's a bug. Removing the ability to increase your speed up a hill by going forward and strafing isn't.

Vanderbelt · 2013-02-02, 06:57 PM

It also looks like Anchor mode is bugged. The patch notes say that it should give 20% faster shots; but right now, it makes the Prowler AP shots move faster than most sniper rifle shots.

MoridinSix · 2013-02-02, 07:10 PM

got in a mag.. slow as sht now, climbs hills Worse than infantry . makes sense
TR gets buffed non stop. . lol

moonshake · 2013-02-02, 07:22 PM

I don't think I have had an unplanned server disconnect until tonight. It happened to me several times. Some of the bases are uncappable. Three or four stand by it and it doesn't do anything. Other times, other players, enemy and friendly, start blinking in and out. My FPS is still okay, but overall, they need one hell of a hot fix to fix this hot mess.

RaTzo · 2013-02-02, 08:05 PM

Adjusted overall flight sensitivity. Mossy is now VERY twitchy, but I can aim again with zoom optics. So, I'm OK with it.

Patch seems to have restored some fun to the game. Hopefully this memory leak issue, and the rest of the low FPS will be fixed soonest.
