Didn't know about the galaxy part,i'm thinking of playing VS a bit more.

The grinding in this game is just too hectic,on weekdays i can probably make 30certs a day.No way am i going to unlock those 1000cert weapons.It's a shame people can buy them with real money,feels like pay2win.

Heh well i guess sony has to make their money somewhere. Overall i don't think it is that bad, the important certs you can't buy though. So they obviously want you to level your char by playing and use cash for the extra weapons. It isnt that expensive either, i bought the alpha squad pack in beta which is $40 and give 5000 points and unlock an extra weapon for every class and give you 6 month xp boost.

Oh as for galaxy im not sure if the fall damage is avoided when you jump or when pilot eject you. All i know i always survived jumping out of galaxies, they are passenger planes afterall. You usually jump with 12 other players and very rare for a galaxy pilot to land for a dropoff (they can, but it is risky). Galaxies can fly very high too (usually you wont even see them from the ground if pilot knows what he is doing)

I just know sony mentioned galaxies have different rules regarding fall damage for obvious reasons.

I swear i heard one of the developers say that people will only be able to buy cosmetic items a few months back.

I'm going to have to make a choice on what class to play and then sticking with it,i am thinking of maxing the light Assault first for the VS.
 
Well i don't see how they would have launched this game for free and only money coming from camo styles. So boosts and weapons are fine with me.

I don't think the weapons in the store are giving people that much of an advantage, you still need suit upgrades and weapon upgrades more than the weapon to be good. Just because i have automatic rifle on my infilrator on lvl 1 from store, does not mean i can take down a max suddenly.
 
Hey if you guys if your keen to join up and join the NC outfit on the woodman server send malice your in game nick if you have not done so already.
 
Just a note,if you you have SweetFX you have to remove it.Soe are deciding whether it would be allowed or not so better safe then sorry.


Edit:It seems you need to get 125 spawns on a sunderer to get 1cert point.

Considering how it is totally passive and a big fight can easily ramp alot of spawns, not too bad i suppose. You just need to know where to park it ;-)

Well you also need to fight yourself,you get 1cert point for every 2kills.

Cert points seem to be gained on XP,every 250XP =1cert point,wonder if there is a chart somewhere.


The best place i have parked my sundy so far was on a canyon bridge with the enemy base below and at the back of an enemy base where i barely got past all their tanks.

I am sure you can optimize the heck out of it if you want. Deploy sundy, get out change class to engi, do repairs, change to infiltrator snipe some, change to light assault and get into the base etc.

The sundy can also be fitted with ability to repair all vehicles around it or provide ammo i bet that can be good xp in a big fight too.
 
Oh just a tip, you can change seats inside a vehicle by pressing F1,F2 etc. So if you are driving a sundy and need to shoot someone with the guns mounted on top, change to seats 2 or 3. It does mean you wont be moving though, but comes in handy when you are deployed and some dude with rocket launcher shows up.

Same applies for any other vehicle with multi seats.
 
Yeah I removed SweetFX last night, made zero performance gains for me. Unfortunately I rolled on the server Mallory on Saturday due to Miller being completely full and I can't switch servers now that I've gotten so far with this character...
 
After much chopping and changing, [grrr] have settled on Mallory playing as Terran Republic.
Our outfit is sitting at about 8 active players and playing as a massive coordinated unit is absolutely epic!

Add me as a friend if you wanna hook up, we are hoping to grow our outfit.

Send Malice your nick to put on the first page.
 
Managed to get this working last night but I had no idea what the hell I was (supposed to be) doing. Just ran around randomly looking for people to shoot for a couple of minutes and then quit. I think I'll have to watch a couple of videos and do some reading before giving this another (proper) shot.

Was the same for me when i first started,do note that the TTK (time to kill) is very high in PS2 compared to other games.

Press M for and either redeploy and drop from droppod into a base.
 
Yea, everything you need to know is on the map. It also helps hovering over the hotspot areas and checking what kind of presence your faction have there, otherwise you will drop into a base that's already lost.
