Pretty major tank nerf coming soon as well, similar to how they nerfed Libs.
https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/test-server-update-notes-7-1.192092/
Only a test server patch, but the intent is obviously there from the devs, just not going down with the farmers in the community.
A reported Tank handling issue at high speeds has been addressed
Hossin:
Various instances of flora growing indoors has been removed
Ixtab southern pass painfield has been fixed
Vex Biologics air ammo resupply station has been fixed
Gourney Dam spawn doors should now function correctly.
Ancient Clutter vehicle terminal has been fixed
Minor misc fixes have been made to improve general gameplay.
All infantry and MAX weapon attachments are now purchasable with Station Cash. Like the existing weapon optics, any attachment purchased with station cash will be unlocked account wide.
All weapons that have a second advance variant of forward grips or laser sights have been condensed down into a single attachment unlock. All certification points that have been spent on these attachments have been refunded.
Added 2x Optic to all appropriate weapons that were missing it
Kill Assist Experience should calculate correctly
Server Ping Rate re-added to the server select screen
Continent Locking:
-Lock warning will display on main HUD
-Outfit Recruiting
Profanity filter added to the Outfit Summary
Fixed some text errors in the Outfit Browser
All spawn doors should now have the new visibility changes
Bloom has been set back to normal levels.Known Issues:
The Darklight Flashlight attachment on the Phobos VX86 shotgun can be unlocked twice. Only the first unlocked attachment is useable.
All rail attachments on the NC05 Jackhammer will show a second unlock button after first being unlocked. These rail attachments can be used without having to unlock them a second time.Small patch today. Not a lot in it that stands out except for what I’ve highlighted in bold.
Well that’s it settled then, I laughed, so I must be a geek 🙁
Also fixed the link for you….since that’s what geeks do 🙁

To redeem this for more than one character, use the website and type in the code multiple times.
It does create a decent atmosphere if it’s ever quiet enough there to appreciate it, but so far I’ve just been in hectic fight after hectic fight on it…. Last night was good though with 3 of us from my new VS outfit managing gaining an outfit capture credited to us in a 30 v 30 fight, but fuck me was that hard work.
I’m dying a lot more on hosin as well atm, but I guess that’s to be expected when you don’t know the lay of the land. I suppose I’ve been picking some tough situations there to try and win too. Incidentally Line, the last few nights we’ve had a 4 man XDC squad on Ceres playing Vanu, and may jump on Woodman soon as TR, if you fancy joining us. It also doesn’t take too long to kit out a character if you’re having to start from scratch btw. It took me 8 hours last week on Connery to get to BR 15 with a heavy assault with lvl 4 shield and NW.
Anyway back on topic, my only complaint about Hosin is that it’s really hard to see what’s going on around you with it being so dark and misty, but I’ll maybe try tweaking the brightness settings later on.
Continents will now correctly lock to the Alert victor upon the completion of the Alert
Since Hossin is a brand new continent that we want everyone to enjoy, we’ve temporarily disabled all Hossin alerts to prevent Hossin from being locked through alerts. Hossin can still be locked through territory domination, however.
Latest Hossin map
Fixed the spawn room shields at Nason’s Defiance
Removal of redundant FX on some plants in Hossin
Server performance fix
All reinforcement spawn points will now turn off once a faction has greater than 50% population in the region.
Outfit Browser: Will now only show outfits from your own server
Updated the notification for facility capture to include more details on the dominant outfitHotfix today, with two significant changes highlighted.

Hmm that commissioner might be worth it for 79p
It is, 1000 cert grind saved for a little more than the cost of a can of coke. You don’t need to hate me Ben 🙂
btw Gary, the underboss is currently available via a steam sale bundle: http://store.steampowered.com/app/218241/
Along with other ps2 bundles like:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/218240/
and
http://store.steampowered.com/app/218242/ (includes commissioner and costs 79p)
Edit: A tip from the forums says:
Tip: When you buy bundle, click on “CD Key” and you’ll get a code to redeem the bundle.
I’ve not tried this, but the internet says so (only consider this if steam doesn’t recognise your account, or however it works having PS2 installed on steam).
It’s coming today.

This will likely mean extended downtime btw.
Yea definitely try those sniper rifles out in VR before certing them out, that’s a pretty big investment. Pity you can’t gift certs to people because I have them coming out of my ears atm. 100 certs isn’t hard to get though, and since you’ve completed that newbie questionnaire, the next time you plan to be on for a session, remember to equip the 24 hour XP boost which you should also have got for free. With that you should be able to earn 50-100 certs per hour (or more), depending on how well you do.
I think I also got the ghost with a questionnaire when they first released that newbie thing, and like you I didn’t like it….but then I don’t really snipe so that probably doesn’t mean a lot. I do seem to be killed by it more than by other sniper rifles though.
Oh and one thing to maybe consider when unlocking the underboss is that if you unlock it with station cash, you’ll have it available on all characters on your account (i.e. NC, TR, etc). I was lucky enough to get it as part of a bundle for quite cheap a while back, along with the commissioner, and it’s always good to have it account wide.
The magnum vs rex comparison is spot on as well btw, it’s exactly like that, but don’t let PS2 public opinion put you off the beamer, it’s far better than many people make out. Like the masses though I personally never feel like I can use it properly (I just know it’s good from some players who’ve used it against me), so despite my stats saying it’s my best pistol, I tend to stick with the commissioner (I always opted for magnum in BF3, so naturally prefer it to the underboss).

Oh and there is a “VR place” I think, where you can test out all the gear in the game as well as small trial periods for each weapon you can use it in fights for free.
There is, and you get to it via a continent console at a warp gate (down at the bottom – VR training). You can test out anything there for free, and you can also trial any weapon in live play for about 30 minutes I think per month. Luckily Gary seems to have found a gun via that newbie questionnaire because otherwise I’d be stuck for suggestions regarding sniper rifles.
Decent sidearm for close quarters.
The beamer is the default Vanu side arm and tbh I really don’t know whether I prefer it over the two sidearms I’ve unlocked (commissioner and underboss – which are the most popular). There are others maybe worth trying out but when checking my internet numbers the other day, I was surprised that despite carrying the commissioner on almost almost all classes, on almost all my characters, for much longer, I still have more kills with the beamer. It may be that when I started playing PS2, I was that used to BF3 that switching to a secondary was much more instinctive than it is to me now, or maybe I’ve just got really bad at using pistols 🙂
Ahh good stuff Paddy, maybe you could add some extra pressure to Alex and help convince him to play Vanu more often 🙂 Ben and I put in a 5 hour session on VS tonight, and Chris was part of the squad for about 4 hours of that as well. Chris also has about 24 hours clocked on his connery account (I have about 8 – since I’m currently available during the day, and the connection is very playable), so clearly getting into the game. Bring your game face though because I’ve found a much better way for approaching XDC squads in this game. We’ve seriously been the first into seemingly impossible situations this last week, which we’ve more often than not turned around. Not always by ourselves but we’re often in there creating havoc for long enough that others decide it’s worth coming in to back us up and seal the deal 🙂
In short, you’re missing a lot of fun!
