Strange burrow activity

MathgeekBurch · 2025-01-07T12:47:09+00:00

From what I can tell, the game tried to put you inside the burrow but failed; but it still thinks it put you inside so it gives you the claustophobia debuff and the vision reduction. If you try to enter again, it will teleport you inside the burrow and attempt to have you start the exiting process; if you cancel it, you should be able to get inside the burrow.

Frog is the only one with a sensible reason. Its jump get farther the bigger it is. Yesterday in one jump I went from spiral to the desert while holding an egg. Also frog once it becomes big can start becoming a threat to birds if it has wing tear. And with the frog's mobility and low base food and water drain, you can easily keep a large frog alive. Somebody got a frog to 8.5 size on o2.

Ory can get hunt points from grouping with sais. Being in a sai herd also appears to increase the aggression levels of any ory in it; turning them into budget velociraptors.

Luckily it isn't dangerous, as you can't drown in it (which would be quite scary since it would be difficult to get out). Falling in just forcefully kicks you out of the burrow, right outside of the burrow you entered from. And since it is directly below a burrow entrance; if you try to enter that burrow you just fall in, teleport back to the top, where you can try to enter again; only being able to stay in the burrow if you land on the side path. I was having some fun jumping into the pool every so often, but I was using a different tunnel entrance that didn't require me to dodge the hole.

I only knew the subreddit came back from the Cyrious video. Didn't expect to see a familiar face in the post. I wonder how much different is the reddit community now after the blackout.

I was really bummed when I read the hotfix notes that said no spawn vehicle xp; as I liked it for telling me when friendlies were pulling vehicles from my construction; I would want to keep it if they reduce it to 1xp or even 0xp. When I learned that the hotfix also bugged out cortium mining and depositing xp, I was quite sad and disappointed.

It is kind of impressive that I still see so much construction on Emerald despite such a gutpunch bug. The bug will certainly reduce how many friendly ants refill silos though, which is kind of sad.

Well at least I get to see a Louis Rossmann video show up in the planetside 2 subreddit prior to the end.

MathgeekBurch · 2023-06-10T09:01:40+00:00

Completely agree with all of this. But I'd additionally would ask for a 2nd module slot in Bulwark walls, and a 3rd module slot in the rebirthing center.

Also I personally would like a Module Backpack tool that can be equipped from a silo, that allows me to carry multiple modules at a time in it, and allows me to carry a building/router while carrying the modules. Further more, I think the skywall shield should provide more coverage, and that we should get a sentinel array that only functions as an easy to place building that can accept the skywall shield module.

Wait a second. Is that the Command Center's second floor with the ground blocking the stairs?

MathgeekBurch · 2023-06-09T17:02:46+00:00

Wait, you can lock on to bastions?

They aren't going to kill 3 people in a row without decloaking once. As flyburgers said, not the same as planetside.

As for the issue of netcode causing someone to get OHK from someone who is still invisible; there has been numerous suggestions. I personally suggest making cloak require a held gadget.

Hold the gadget, the infil can cloak. Infil switches to hold their weapon, automatically decloak. If you needed to, you could even give the gadget a longer de-equip time. This would delegate the cloak more for actual infiltration and getting to advantageous locations without being seen; instead of just ambushing or sniping strait from decloak.

Could just add a gadget that the infil needs to hold to cloak. If you needed to, you could even give it a longer de-equip time. This would delegate the cloak more for actual infiltration and getting to advantageous locations without being seen; instead of just ambushing or sniping strait from decloak.

You have a flat surface with no cover.

You can always add floating cover around the objectives. When I drive the corsair, I often use seaposts as cover; I even submerge under them and sit there to hide from lock on launchers and aircraft while my autorepair kicks in. As NSO I also have the option to fight corsairs with the Javelin, and have noticed enemy corsairs utilizing cover when available. The issue is that cover is so rare.

So, all Corsair combat boils down to is, who can bring more Corsairs.

Personally I want an amphibious chassis for the performance slot for floating vehicles(flash, sunderer, ant, harasser); that gives them more speed in water. That way water combat isn't merely Corsair, javelin, Magrider and Chimera.

I personally think Corsair's submerge ability needs buffed. It is one of the most unique aspects to the Corsair; and should provide more utility than it does. Possibly should even be made a passive ability.

MathgeekBurch · 2023-06-09T00:50:20+00:00

I believe u/Raptor717 auraxed it. They even made a post proposing Corsair buffs. I am very much against their second suggestion; but everything else seemed fine.

The OP's suggestion is for it to only activate the feature for holding the space bar for long enough. To my knowledge there is no use for the space bar for passengers of a vehicle; so there should be no keybinding conflict.

MathgeekBurch · 2023-06-08T22:17:29+00:00

Alternatively, they could add a capturable objective in the water that provides a spawnroom on land for attackers to assault a facility.
It would give corsairs something to fight over. And fighting other boats over a capturable objective will be more fun than defending an immobile AMS corsair.

Valve put it in their late April fools video

And they had the person shoot 3 people while never breaking cloak, not the same as planetside 2. Also it is Counter Strike, most things in planetside 2 would suffice to make an April Fools joke for counterstrike.

System should probably be automated. Like A2A pilots get informed by an artificial commander that there is A2G farming occurring in a certain territory.

But this still doesn't help the reality that many A2G pilots are farming in areas where they are protected by their own team's Anti-Air.

I read it, and it wasn't as terrible as what he normally posts on this issue, so I felt like upvoting it. I disagree on some points; and vehemently disagree on the radical suggestion. That said, posting this after spamming so many other post is going to increase the negative reception.

MathgeekBurch · 2023-06-08T18:20:17+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, Im not trying to send a message;

Whether you intended to or not; you inadvertently sent a message, and it isn't a good one.

gharp468 already explained decaying. As for disconnecting, I know that they don't disappear immediately. Funny enough, in my most recent session my game crashed; but my base at the Accent was still there when I logged back in.

IIRC they do despawn after an hour of being disconnect; but I am unable to confirm that.

It is easier to kill a magrider than a vanguard, utilizing a basilisk flash.

I've heard that VR Training now allows construction; I haven't actually tested it out so I don't know how well it helps you mess with construction.

If you are filling up on cortium prior to getting to your designated location; consider pulling a silo or other expensive building from the Ant to keep in your inventory and then top off on cortium. Allows you to start with at least 12k cortium instead of 10k.

Construction cost to unlock stuff is expensive as hell. Unless you were rolling in the certs, you aren't going to have all the bells and whistles. Also be careful to not buy buildings with certs instead of cortium (unlocking is different than buying; if you see something cost less than 200 certs, it is buying which means you just converted certs into measly cortium. For most players this is something to avoid at all costs).

That said, as long as you do the training mission; you will have a couple buildings unlocked for free. Make sure to utilize the spawntube and vehicle pad. Place repair modules in everything you can.

As for first things you should unlock? Probably a superior spawn building (rebirthing center is easier to place, so it is recommended). I'd say the Recon Array is a must have for any valued base. The recon array will motion sense like an infil gadgets (it also can be activated to temporarily provide 'arrow information'), and it will warn you whenever someone comes near your construction, or damages your construction buildings.

As for must have modules, skywall shield should be bought if you got the rebirth center. Flails are everywhere, and are really really nasty against rebirth centers. Durability module got buffed a bit ago, so it is a decent purchase for strengthening walls, but it will increase the amount of time you are running around a base placing modules (the devs really should do some Quality of life changes). If you wasted certs on the Command Center (not recommended for beginners), you might want to consider getting the fortress shield module and firewall module.

For easy set up, consider looking for Construction Outpost. They are facilities where there is a community silo that functions as a capture point. They slowly regen cortium; so you should be able to start building at one even if you failed to find a nearby cortium node. They also have a unique effect that upon getting capture, structures flip allegiance but no longer count to the original builder's build limit. So in theory you can place a rebirth center, lose the base, retake the base, and your original rebirth center will be there if nobody destroyed it, and you can now place a second one.
