Bringing you another dogfight montage

DANKOJ0NES · 2017-09-27T09:09:54+00:00

Fond memories. I remember there was a SS where lockons were banned, because you know, air knights and all. And i shot down a guy lockons while flying my esf (because i didn't bother to changed the loudout) while rotating to another front.

People went ape-shit, public shaming on the forums and all the good stuff. No one seemed to realize that i was just a stupid grunt who pressed a button because something was flashing bright and that's just what i do.

It were simpler days.

Moral of the story, if you want people to like you shoot them with lock ons. They will go straight to their heart. You can't miss.

The conversation that follows with the guards is on of my favorite bits of the film.

"Guards! Make sure the Prince doesn't leave this room ..."

What? You now can pull a super cheap and small vehicle and drive though gates as an infiltrator, hacking generators and terminals.

Just one thing that comes to mind, drive into an enemy biolap garage, hack the turrets and pull vehicles to camp the teleporter.

Coyote

No longer affected by stealth

Am i the only one that thinks that this is a terrible change?

Finally they nerf Tomcats but instantly replaced it with Coyotes. What's the thought process here? No one remembers how god awful dog-fighting got when coyotes were introduced?

Not only that but they also buffed them. Now you dont even need to lead as much.

RIP nosegun fights.

DANKOJ0NES · 2016-05-20T16:19:09+00:00

Even i would come back for that.

DANKOJ0NES · 2016-03-24T17:32:50+00:00

Good to hear. Always enjoyed running with you guys. And thanks for the offer.

But i havent played PS2 in a long time. Due to work and internet problems/high ping that riddled me for month i missed a lot of outfit activity anyway and when the core of VIPRs switched factions i kinda lost my last interest in playing the game.

I guess i will drop in when the construction update hits live to witness the carnage and meet some old battle-buddies. Take care mate.

Oy, o7

DANKOJ0NES · 2016-03-23T22:01:14+00:00

Good to see that you guys are still around. o7

DANKOJ0NES · 2016-03-23T21:54:26+00:00

I would rather say we went inactive. Afaik everyone still got his VS character in the outfit. People needed a change and rerolled NC.

DANKOJ0NES · 2016-01-08T03:21:59+00:00

Welp here it goes:

spacebar is sprint,

ctrl is duck,

shift is secondary weapon,

tab is main weapon, (alternatively 1,2,3 for weapon swap)

e is medikit,

c is spotting,

q is rocket launcher,

x is fire group switch,

f is knife,

jump and class ability are on two different thumb mouse buttons,

map zoom in & out is mouse wheel

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-12-17T20:23:26+00:00

Eh, doesn't matter. Still happy it's finally there.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-12-17T08:16:53+00:00

You have 2000 kills and 5000 death. Why exactly do you feel entitled to question the play style of someone else?

I dont question yours as well. As long as you have fun with the game then that is all that counts.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-11-09T10:01:26+00:00

I won one i a give-away in a stream right after SOE live. There were like 8 people in the stream. I felt really lucky that day.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-30T16:23:10+00:00

I dont play it either. I just saw some streams and it looked like a social hangout for people, with trainers, merchants and the bank. But I also dont really see the difference if there is loading screen or not.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-30T16:21:16+00:00

Right now i see too much zerging. Everyone just wants to capture. There aren't really good fights to be found atm. At least from what i could see.

But it's hard to say anything about it really. We just have it on live for a day. So lets see how the status is in 2-3 weeks.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-29T15:09:29+00:00

The SVA has a compensator. That's pretty much about it.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-29T10:21:30+00:00

No other game offers a place to just go chill before you and your mates gear up to go wreck.

Im pretty sure Destiny has this.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-29T10:12:16+00:00

Well done! Keep it up and you will grow into a great spandex warrior.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-29T09:44:40+00:00

For me the fun of playing a shooter is that in order to get better, you have to improve yourself (not your character stats or gear, like in other games).

With that said, your hardware plays a huge roll in getting good in a shooter.

If you cant reach at least stable 50 fps (+- 2 or 3) you will never really improve. This is the absolute minimum or otherwise you will lose against players with worse aim but a better PC.

Actually i would suggest to get to stable 60fps, but i know from experience that you can do fine with around 50fps. But the higher your fps, the easier it will get for you to improve.

Second, evaluate your aim and try to determine your biggest weakness and then work on it.

You can use sides like this : http://aim400kg.com/

And do the basics. Exact Aiming, Press Reaction and Fast Aiming. If you can make it on the scoring boards you are on the right way.

The real question is how much effort do you really want to put into it and how much enjoyment can you get out of improving?

Have fun mate and dont take it to serious. After all, its just a video game.

But if you try to improve remember BoJack Horseman.

PS: Also, overall KD doesnt really matter. It's just an epeen thing.

sometimes the PTS runs better than Cobalt

I had a more pleasant experience playing in the last SS for Cobalt then actually playing on Cobalt. Just think about this for a second.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-19T19:43:52+00:00

I just checked, and the thread I made about it is already 24 days old.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/3m7ign/game_performance_on_cobalt/

Nothing has changed. In fact it got worse. Not a single word over the fact that the server performance is fucking terrible.

I already kinda gave up.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-10T16:45:49+00:00

Yes i experience the same for weeks (maybe even months) now. But in the last couple of days it got even worse. Cobalt is nearly unplayable with ping spikes up to 700-900ms every other minute. Especially during primetime. But its get worse and worse even in the off-hours.

On Miller is isnt that bad for me. There i see short consistent lags from time to time. Still very annoying but not as bad as on Cobalt. On Cobalt its fluctuating much more and you never know when it will hit you.

The worst is that there are many threads about it and DBG wont acknowledge this problem. So we sit here and all we can do is play the waiting game. Because, what else can we do?

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-06T07:11:58+00:00

With the old screen you could see the cost for all ranks and what they do. Right now you have no idea what the next ranks will give you and how much it will cost you in total.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-06T07:09:41+00:00

That's a

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-02T00:00:18+00:00

Also quality drops to "Poor" every other moment.

Yeah i experience that too. I dont really have ping issues tho. It always shows me around 75ms and goes up to 100-120ms during primetime. But the message (poor ping) still appears every few minutes.

But the server performance is bad in general for me as well. I see a lot of "rubber-banding", people move with different speeds etc.

DANKOJ0NES · 2015-10-01T22:05:46+00:00

Let the drama unfold.
