    Planetside 2

    The game has major issues with hit registration. It's even worse if you're under 60 FPS due to how the client calculates damage.

    Planetside 2

    Hit registration was a huge problem in PS1 as well. Made me quit playing entirely because I got tired of emptying a Jackhammer into someone and watching them not die.

    Planetside 2

    You have to play differently with the Prowler. You use it as a mobile siege weapon instead of a main battle tank. Its ability to sit at render distance and shred enemy armor at long range is what makes it really powerful. It's also really strong at point defense. You park around a corner locked...

    Prowler is the best tank in the game, hands down. Or was until they nerfed lockdown projectile velocity.

    Getting to 50 doesn't take long. Getting your classes to 50 after you run out of quests does.

    Nope. No XP loss for leveling with someone higher level than you. Player power doesn't scale very high as you gain levels. Its not like WoW where you have no chance against a level 50 player if you're level 30. They have an advantage, but I've killed shit level 50's before as a lower level...

    Songcraft has good synergy with the other magic trees, it also has a nice stun you can pick up at like, level 5. Early in Alpha Songcraft + Shadowplay + X was a common theme for ganking while leveling. Another pro tip not really related, but I didn't see a lot of people doing it - Cooking is...

    Songcraft and Shadowplay are pretty good together. A general rule of thumb is to avoid hybrids. They're not as good as you think. Also plan your build around doing a lot farming / grinding once you hit max level. Best grinding class is Sorc + Conjuration + X

    Eastern Continent also has the primary farm spot for non-crafted best in slot weapons for each class. West Continent gets rings / necklaces which require a crafter with decent handicraft and some rare mats.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If NPCs aren't textured / modeled / animated, they just aren't done yet. They always leave out voice acting and cutscenes though. Blizzard Betas / Alphas are generally more polished than most live games.

    In other news, I'm pretty sure Hyperion beats EXE for worst TR outfit ever. They were asking for help ghost capping Esamir with over 60% of the population on the continent. I checked the map when their request went out, and they had 48+ TR on an empty hex. Its a sad day when I think TRG is...

    I also dislike montages. It doesn't demonstrate a lot of skill when you clip a bunch of headshots together. I much prefer video styles akin to this: Why I love the VX6-7 - YouTube No editing, no music. Just two guys wrecking face.

    Attacking the enemy in a protected zone should just globally flag you for PvP by the enemy faction. You'll run into situations where a level 50 will pick on a level 30 in a group.

    Tribes 2 was a disaster and the community had to step in to make the Classic mod. Basically he made some bad design decisions that royally pissed the Tribes community off. Dynamix never recovered. He also made some questionable design decisions for PlanetSide, but that may have been SOE's doing.

    XP is shared based on the maximum total XP of each member. The group member with the most total XP earned will receive a larger percentage of XP earned per kill. This means that hybrids will receive a larger split of each XP per mob due to the XP penalty. This balances out though, because it...
