I want to agree with you, BUT SOE.

lol. I don't know who you play with but my outfit and the other outfits I play with often use tactics to accomplish a goal...even though the game does not do a great job of promoting said tactics.

What I was talking about is people will get to learn how to attack / defend different bases and see the world from a whole new perspective.

However if that does not satisfy you I can hop on the "this game sucks, this patch sucks, and that is why I continue to post on the forums about it" bandwagon if you'd like?

Just wish Sony would learn that we European players are on a different time scale to the US. They take their servers down in the middle of the day for us not in the nighttime. Still the world revolves around them not us.

Actually its perfect for me. The rugby 6 nations starts today at this time

Lots to like in this patch.

I've done a quick word search and cannot find any reference to the following.

Flashing
Eye
Cancer
Aids

So I assume this prick of a bug that causes you to get a flashing screen with possibly less than 1fps and if you recover...IF...you are running around like everything is on an angle, is still not fixed.

I bet its not even included in "other bug fixes" either!
It was too big a bug to be just chucked in that category.

On a positive note at least the patch notes are up beforehand.

Yea, but the US has four distinct time zones itself, so along with central Europes three time zones there is are 1-11 hours difference between the various players. There is really no way to bring the servers down at a time where it doesn't impact anyone.

Anyways, the patch contains some pretty solid improvements, though the balance changes annoy me, because they are trying to fix a lot of gameplay issues by just fudging the numbers until they fit the average.

with the today´s patch is it possible to change server?

This patch was probably released as soon as it was done, without any regard for the time because of the delay.

These changes to E540 Halberd should put it between the Saron HRB and the ML85 Enforcer with their new changes.

So is there any reason to use the Enforcer over the Halberd now?

Overall pleased with the notes. I look forward to seeing the tank slide improvement.

seanman · 2013-02-02, 06:30 AM

there's nothing change on terrain of the crown

NewSith · 2013-02-02, 06:36 AM

Well, I'm glad they listened to feedback and did not put jumppads on Tech Plants.

Rotating the Warpgates back to the Original Position ?

Does it mean we the VS are back in the North Again ? Fine with me i liked it that way

Ironside · 2013-02-02, 06:45 AM

get ready for bugs galore

musefrog · 2013-02-02, 06:50 AM

M-M-M-MONSTER PATCH!

So much stuff in here, there's something for (almost) everyone.

Great to see autorun making a return from PS1. I'm looking forward to checking out the tunnels and the new warpgate positions. The prowler buffs also sound enticing. Pleased to see that colourblind players will be having an easier time now too (although I'm not one of them). Hope the performance improvements give me some more FPS!

So is this patch live already or not?
