Server Downtime for ESF Update January 16, 2014 6 AM PT (3 PM CET)

That should reduce the amount of cheese PA Shotguns/Serpent-GD7-F causes in mid-flight. Not that some pellets/bullets won't connect while hipfiring mid-air though...

Time to cert up Fire Suppression
Time to buy the Locust Cannon
Time to buy the Hornet Missiles
No thanks to Coyote Missiles

Thank GOD !!!! finally i get something other than constantly shot down for using scout radar lol ;-)

In what universe this will reduce numbers of PA Light assaults? Why would you ever ADS with shotgun? It doesnt make any difference if you ads or hip fire. This nerf just promotes PA shottys even more.

IS THIS TRUE? CAN IT BE?




THANK GOD IT IS GONE, IT WAS THE WORST BUG EVER










...... but we will see if it is actually fixed in the meantime.

Yay more light assault nerfs.

I like it how they introduce faction specific Locust cannons that are the same with just different names so the pilots that fly 3 factions will have to buy three of them rather than just one for an account. Are the coyotes and hornets factions specific too?

Never forget the profits.

Of all the things to buff on an ESF... Fire Suppression?

lol whatever SOE, I'll take it.

They aren't EXACTLY the same, but I get what you mean. Not enough of a difference to call them "Faction Specific".

Yeeeeeee! No more Tomcats spam!

Nice. I'm looking forward to all the ground vehicle whine threads followed by all the air tears once these toys get nerfed.

CET is GMT+1, so just subtract one hour.

"Added a Wide View Mode option under graphics settings. This option auto-adjusts the FOV to fit wider resolutions."



-> what FOV is suggested for 1920x1080 vs 1920x1200?

I like what I read about the Vanu Sniper Rifles. Their reload animation was really putting me off.

Thank you for mentioning this. You should add though the fact that we kept spawning radars even when people from our own faction were shooting them down just for fun

It's funny though how we gain *absolutely nothing* for doing that

What use are AA missiles if you have to keep your crosshairs on the target? You might as well just shoot them with the gun which also targets your crosshairs, and won't be limited by flares and stealth....

You only have to keep them in "cross" (a circle with really forgiving size) with missiles. With nosegun you have to lead your targets and aim more accurately.

And then lets start the betting--> how long it takes until hornet missiles are nerfed ?

Will the Amerish map bug get fixed? (currently you cannot see what's going on on Amerish when you are on Indar or Esamir)

As a full time fire supp user this is christmas day to me <3

This.

You make it sound like this game wasn't dominated by them. There wasn't one moment of this.
Well, maybe there was, when the game was dominated by HE tanks and lolpods
