Did they turned them off? I cant get the certification anymore.

apparently all core combat content is bugged right now

In other news

we don't miss bfrs

Arkaiden · 2013-05-22, 08:28 PM

I miss flails though.

Actually, I do miss BFRs because it gets NC and TR off their more effective MAXes/tanks and into a plodding target I can harass the hell out of.

The Laze targeting thing works though. Strange, right?

CrazEpharmacist · 2013-05-23, 05:08 AM

Leave BFR's disabled. We don't want them.

Arkaiden · 2013-05-24, 05:04 PM

I would like all caves neutraled at least. NC having perma-lock on 2 of the 4 caverns is a pretty nice boon for them since the benefits still work.

3 of 6, TR have 2 of 6, VS 5/6th of 1.

CC is awesome. Leave Aftershock disabled

Arkaiden · 2013-05-27, 12:24 PM

Caverns are still inaccessible, but somehow other day an NC took all of one cave and today a TR took all of a VS cave.

Hackers, or just random people with Core Combat active for them?

Shogun · 2013-05-28, 02:08 PM

might have been old players, that have logged out their char in the caves and did respawn there when returning to the game. but i think this is only possible in caves that are not completely locked by the enemy.

Arkaiden · 2013-05-28, 04:55 PM

Hmm, then NC shouldn't have been able to take the TR cave and TR shouldn't have been able to take the VS cave with one NC base in it.

Something's fishy.

Edit: Just checked today and the caves are back to where they were a few days ago... wtf?

I'm glad that BFR's and all of that stuff are gone. Good riddance. It killed the game in conjunction with the other flaws at the time, and I've never liked them. The only people that use them are, in my singular opinion, just too bad at other aspects of the game to ever be useful outside of one.

I guess I wouldn't mind caves, but the population is only at roughly 100 total players online at any given point as of the last few days. I've checked multiple times throughout my playtime (I play in Mountain Time, GMT-6) and even during prime time the pops are quite low. Caves probably wouldn't be visited save for ghosts that want the topside benefits. I'd be more interested in some of the old alpha-style stuff making a comeback.

Shogun · 2013-05-30, 06:25 AM

i wasn´t around prior to ps1 release, so what cool alpha stuff are you talking about?

the fauna?

DovahTerran · 2013-05-30, 10:29 AM

Yeah, that's part of it. They cut out the animals/other AI (bots or NPCs may have made it in) because they couldn't come up with a decent pathfinding system.

Other parts were the combat.. I saw some alpha footage and I could swear the TTK was a lot lower. It was much higher than PS2, but a lot lower than the current TTK.

The armor designs were a little different, too. Remember that picture at the PS1 Station login screen, with the Terran soldier yelling? Yeah, that's a Vanu Agile exosuit and a TR insigna slapped on the side of the shoulder. Things were a lot different back then.. That is actually a very old picture. I want to see how some of that would affect the game NOW.
