Seems like a bug. Unless this is an old screenshot, (or possibly if you're in cutoff territory,) you should be able to spawn at either of those two Sunderers.

Yes, its a bug. We're currently looking into it.

Re: Ticket #722600

I received a basic cookie-cutter reply to my ticket, with all the usual "repair/reinstall/delete files" stuff.

This has persisted between different installations of Planetside 2 on different hard drives (my old one was a standard disc drive, and my current HD is an SSD), so I know for a fact that I don't have corrupted files.

The ticket response basically said I should create an issue on the bug tracker, which I did, but beyond that there was no additional help offered to help troubleshoot the issue directly.

My bug tracker - https://dgcissuetracker.com/browse/PS-4058

Here are others that were in the system before mine:

Thank you for the information. Already starting to see some better repro steps that we should try right away.

Hey u/wrel or u/ps_nicto , can either of you talk about this?

Can you open a ticket with CS please and/or submit a /bug report? Our initial attempt to repro this bug failed. The issue seems to be specific to certain characters.

Was hoping to have that addressed for this update, but it looks like that didn't make it. When this is fixed, it should be a client-only update, so no down time necessary.

Thanks. I'm hoping that if I keep up the good work they will offer me a full time position at the end of the summer.

Still working on both of these, no ETA.

Sorry you are having trouble getting into the game. If you don't mind sharing one of your character names here (or privately via PM), I can take a look on our end and see if I can help.  

Edit - Thanks for the information. Good news is that this crash has only affected 9 people in the last week. Bad news is those 9 people are crashing ALL the time. Looks like it is a conflict between our in-game chat (Vivox) and something else running on those PCs. Hope to have more information for you when folks return from holiday tomorrow.

Have seen this a few times, but haven't looked into a fix yet.

Halberd SE and Halberd-H SE no longer require the ownership of the original Halberd.

To clarify:

They do retain the cert line working in parallel though?

That's correct. If you unlock attachments on the SE version, they'll translate to the original version, and vice versa.

Lots of good bug fixes and adjustments. What’s the target for pushing them live? Next week?

Everything here, excluding the Thumper, we're targeting for next week. Thumper we're targeting for a June release.

Is the bug with the MAX Shield also in work? Ask for a friend!

MAX shield should work on Live currently, except against indirect explosives like C4 and Proximity Mines. (Just checked again, and this seems to be the case.) Getting it to work with indirect explosives again is an issue we still need to resolve.

That should be fixed in this PTS update as well, I'll add it to the notes.

With the updates to Join Combat, it should do this only as a last resort, instead of the buggy state it's in on Live. But we won't know if we fixed all the issues until we see it under large scale circumstances.

Some bugs take longer than others to fix. The two you mentioned are actively being worked on.

NS-03 Thumper (New Weapon)

We've released the new Thumper heavy grenade launcher to PTS.

The Thumper is a Heavy Weapon available as a primary weapon option for the Heavy Assault class.

By default this six round grenade launcher lobs anti-infantry fragmentation rounds with moderate damage. Two alternate ammunition types are available:

  • Disruptor Ammunition wreaks havoc on electronics, and will drain shield and ability energy a small amount on impact.
  • Incendiary Ammunition will ignite nearby infantry, dealing damage over time. (Known issue: DoT is currently not applying, and will be fixed in a following PTS update.)

This weapon is a work in progress, so statistics and visual elements may change before hitting Live.

Map Screen and Continent Flow

  • Biolab outposts are now all connected via lattice. Dev Note: This change see...
