ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Bad players need a way to get kills! At least now I know when a claymore/bb/prox mine kills me, instead of going oh I'm dead.

More reasons to have flak on my medic. Not that I run anything else anyway, but still.

you got it all wrong!!!

Decloak, drop mines, nade, empty a clip in ur SMG, empty your pistol, die like a boss! watch the kills scroll while ur dead, res, laugh at noobs who like to camp entrances at the tower, rinse and repeat.

I used to do it to get kills, now I do it to piss them off.

"oh what a fucking douchebag!"

At least now we can spot mines. I always found them hard to see, now there's a way to know for certain.

Vehicle Updates
Empire Specific Fighter Updates
Default cannons have been re-tuned. Some adjustments have been done to the empire specific characteristics and some are across the board.

New Descriptions:

“The Saron Laser Cannon is the standard air superiority nose cannon for the VS Scythe. Its specialized rounds can be reloaded quickly and travel faster than standard rounds.”

“The M20 Mustang is the standard air superiority nose cannon for the NC Reaver. Its high caliber rounds allow it to do more damage up close and at range.”

“The M18 Needler is the standard air superiority nose cannon for the TR Mosquito. Its small caliber rounds allow it to sustain fire for longer and at a higher fire rate.”

Fire rates have been slowed. Mosquito retains the fastest fire rate.

Saron Laser Cannon: Fire Rate reduced from 732 RPM to 706 RPM

M20 Mustang: Fire Rate remains at 667 RPM

M18 Needler: Fire Rate reduced from 800 RPM to 750 RPM

Magazine sizes increased. The sustained fire of these cannons should be longer than before. The Needler gains a larger clip and can sustain fire the longest.

Saron Laser Cannon: Magazine size increased from 50 to 60

Magazine Size certifications reduced from 6/9/12/15 to 2/5/7/10

Ammo Capacity Increased from 600 to 720

Ammo Capacity certifications remains 60 per rank

M20 Mustang: Magazine size increased from 50 to 55

Magazine Size certifications reduced from 6/9/12/15 to 2/5/7/10

Ammo Capacity Increased from 600 to 660

Ammo Capacity certifications reduced from 60 per rank to 55 per rank.

M18 Needler: Magazine size increased from 50 to 75

Magazine Size certifications reduced from 6/9/12/15 to 2/5/7/10

Ammo Capacity Increased from 600 to 900

Ammo Capacity certifications increased from 60 per rank to 75 per rank.

Damage has been adjusted to offset the fire rate reduction and to make the TTKs more even. Reaver retains the highest damage but also kills slightly faster.

Saron Laser Cannon: Max damage increased from 325 to 340

M20 Mustang: Max damage remains at 400 (as fire rate was not changed)

M18 Needler: Max damage increased from 300 to 315

Damage fall-off has been added. Fall off for the Reaver starts at a farther range.

Saron Laser Cannon

Inflicts maximum damage up to 200 meters

Minimum damage inflicted beyond 325 meters

Minimum damage is 255

M20 Mustang

Inflicts maximum damage up to 225 meters

Minimum damage inflicted beyond 350 meters

Minimum damage is 290

M18 Needler

Inflicts maximum damage up to 200 meters

Minimum damage inflicted beyond 325 meters

Minimum damage is 245

Cone of Fire has been normalized to 0.3 degrees:

Saron Laser Cannon: CoF reduced from 0.4 to 0.3 degrees

M20 Mustang: CoF remains 0.3 degrees

M18 Needler: CoF remains 0.3 degrees

Time to reload reduced on the Scythe.

Saron Laser Cannon: Reload speed reduced from 2.5 seconds to 2 seconds

M20 Mustang: Reload speed remains at 2.5 seconds

M18 Needler: Reload speed remains at 2.5 seconds

Projectile speed has increased for the Saron, but remains the same for Mustang and Needler:

Saron Laser Cannon: Projectile speed increased from 600 mps to 800 mps

M20 Mustang: Projectile speed remains at 750 mps

M18 Needler: Projectile speed remains at 750 mps

Rotary cannons have been re-tuned. Some adjustments have been done to the empire specific characteristics and some are across the board.

New Descriptions:

“The Hailstorm is a high damage, close range cannon that can unload rounds quickly. Its specialized rounds can be reloaded quickly and travel faster than standard rounds. VS use only.”

“The Vortek Rotary is a high damage, close range cannon that can unload rounds quickly. Its high caliber rounds allow it to do more damage up close and at range. NC use only.”

“The M18 Rotary is a high damage, close range cannon that can unload rounds quickly. Its small caliber rounds allow it to sustain fire for longer and at a higher fire rate. TR use only.”

Fire rates have been slowed across the board. Damage increased so TTK remains near the same.

Hailstorm Turbo Laser: Fire Rate reduced from 1200 RPM to 857 RPM

Vortek Rotary: Fire Rate reduced from 1000 RPM to 750 RPM

M18 Rotary: Fire Rate reduced from 1500 RPM to 1000 RPM

Hailstorm Turbo Laser: Damage increased from 308 to 360

Vortek Rotary: Damage increased from 388 to 500

Amount per certification rank adjusted from 2/5/7/10 to 3/5/8/10

Vortek Rotary: Magazine size reduced from 35 to 25

M18 Rotary: Magazine size remains at 50 rounds

Minimum damage inflicted beyond 250 meters

Minimum damage is 300

Vortek Rotary

Minimum damage inflicted beyond 275 meters

Vortek Rotary: Time required to reload increased from 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds

M18 Rotary: Time required to reload increased from 1.5 seconds to 2.25 seconds

UI Updates
Added Chatbox to the Fullscreen UI
We’ve added a toggle button to the upper left corner of the fullscreen UI that will bring up a re-sizable chat window.

Additional Platoon Leader Waypoints
For every additional squad in the platoon, the platoon leader will now have access to one extra waypoint:

Alpha Waypoint

Bravo Waypoint

Charlie Waypoint

Delta Waypoint

The HUD indicators are colored to match whatever color you’ve selected to represent that squad.

Improved Linking and Default Sorting in the Depot
Allows us to do cool things like:

New items can be listed at the top of categories

Medics will now see the “needs heal” indicator when an ally is at less than or equal to 50% HP

Dead squad members will now show the dead icon no matter how far away they are.

Spotting while zoomed or while in iron sights should no longer be harder to do than spotting from the hip.

Dead squad members will now show the dead icon no matter how far away they are

Ground vehicles will only see HUD indicators for ground vehicle depots, air vehicles will only see indicators for air vehicle depots.

Other Miscellaneous Changes

Loadout tooltips on the vehicle and class screens now show the custom name and description

Added tilt to the platoon screen panels to better imply the functionality of the screen

Added waypoint type names (ex: “personal waypoint”, “squad waypoint”, etc.) back to waypoints if you aim at them

Added unique feedback messaging for when a name is taken, invalid, profane, reserved, or unavailable when creating a new character

Bug Fixes

We think we fixed an elusive bug causing /regionsay to randomly stop working. If you still see this happening, please submit a bug report via the in game tool.

Corrected an issue causing the squad dropdown menu for the bottom two players in a squad to be cut off

Fixed a messaging error when non-members attempted to purchase items from the Premium Early Access category of the Depot

Faclity/Environment Updates
Facility Capture Time Tuning

All Amp Stations and Tech Plants on Indar, Esamir, and Amerish, cap in 7 minutes instead of 10

Biolabs on all continents will cap in 7 minutes if you own the majority of the cap points (2/3 or ¾). If you own all CPs, it will cap much faster

Esamir Lattice and Facility Enhancement

The lattice system already in use on Indar is now active on Esamir.

Nearly every facility and outpost was been enhanced or in some cases completely replaced to help create better gameplay flow and support the addition of the lattice connections on the continent.

Added two new outposts, The Rink, and Rime Analytics

Esamir Deployable Turret Restrictions

At warpgates and facilities on Esamir, jump pad landing pads, tunnel exits, and vehicle pads will destroy any deployable Engineer turrets that are placed on them to help prevent griefing.

The shorter cap times will be nice if you have overwhelming numbers, but if it's a good fight, it will be harder for defenders in genereal, and it gives a much shorter window for people not directly at the fight to react.

Same could be said about shotguns best not to judge players play-styles. I like proxy mines cuz they protect gens, doesnt make me a "bad player" just like you're not a "bad player".

BUT I too am kinda pissed about the BUFFs to AI mines.
