he said that with maximum battle rank the player is awarded with additional health

Think you may have misheard, because this is definitely not a thing.

Overall though, I'd say the balance discussions/loadout guides/weapon reviews (which amounts to a lot of the content) is outdated. The live gameplay/montages/tips and tricks are mostly relevant still, and the Thoughts on Better Gaming series is pretty evergreen, but it's also not always with PlanetSide 2 content in the background.

This absolutely should have not gone Live in this form, and is a major screwup. We're taking care of it as soon as we can manage this morning. Unfortunately the fix will strip some of its audio and FX, but I'd rather that than have a completely broken game this double experience weekend.

I'd like to apologize for this issue even appearing in the first place.

Yeah, maybe it's a little easy to headshot with it. Could probably do with having the projectile size reduced a bit. I will give it that.

Chiming in because I've seen this misinformation pop up in a couple of places so far, and it shouldn't be something that guides the balance discussion:

The Archer does not have larger projectiles than other weapons. It uses the smallest size, which is 0.03, to determine the collision. That's the same as the vast majority of weapons in the game. The bullets are only visually more prominent, it has no impact on performance. People make this mistake about the Lasher quite often as well.

• BX Adapter no longer prevents rail slot items from being equipped.

That's meant to be "barrel," not "rail," as was previously the issue. I've updated the patch notes.

This is a bug with explosive damage in VR training, the stats are unchanged. But let me know if it still looks bugged outside of that zone.

This should be cert-purchasable on Live now. Thanks for the report.

Also overall speed is much slower but that's probably intentional.

That's intentional. Roll and yaw are both increased while underwater, but if it's too much or doesn't feel correct, we can take another look.

This post doesn't seem to take into consideration this morning's update, going to narrow your list down a bit here.

4) The Wasp reactors don't turn off when you land and go on the mining gun seat . Because of that you can't use them on solo mode (it make them dance and crash).

Resolved with this morning's update.

9) High Ridge Security probably has a forgotten teleport between main spawn room and vehicle spawn room, that is VEEEERY distant

Resolved with this morning's update.

12) WASP cannot switch to heavy machine gun alterative fire mode on it's mining laser.

Not a bug, this was removed before Wasp was released for the campaign.

13) Shield module overload don't immune against explosion damage (It immune against all damage except explosion damages (C4, Cortium bomb, flail, etc...))

Shield module increase armor b...

All servers are now available with Oshur unlocked.

I hope this has been addressed

Invulnerability on the flotilla was added, you'll see it in tomorrow's update, as well as PTS here shortly.

Have a fix for this that'll be in the next update.

Unless we were to remove the dates from the campaign chapters altogether (which is a little counterproductive to campaigns' original intent,) the questions would still come up. Saw that a lot with Campaign 01. We were optimistic about the original timeline, and I was hoping the caveat on-stream would allay some concerns if the date needed to slide.

This was mentioned in the Livestream, but I'll reiterate it here: We're not going to shove the map out for the sake of hitting an arbitrary date.

We're currently in the process of deciding what our timeline will be, based on the remaining scope of work and test turnaround. You'll see some official communication regarding that, and our intended test schedule, later this week.

Did you go through the new player tutorial on any character prior to this? Trying to track down repro steps for this issue.

Eh, wouldn't go that far. Anyone with a long memory for this sort of thing will tell you that it's been on both sides of the fence. Sometimes the weapons start weak and get tuned up (Thumper,) sometimes there's some experimentation that goes awry (Canis.) Mores the latter in this case.

The splash damage on paper for Fracture is pretty low, but the soft traits of the rest of the weapon are what pushes it over the line. Namely the 40 round mag and perfect hipfire with Lightweight Arms. We've never done perfect accuracy while airborne, but have been inching closer to it with weapons like the Horizon, so that's a concept that's being felt out a bit.

If you removed the splash, I'm not entirely convinced that the perfect hipfire wouldn't still raise complaints later on (afterall, the weapon still hits hard, and right now we're all focused on Fracture Bolts,) but it might be worth continuing to find the answer to that question.

It should be doing as much. Which server are you on?

Can confirm, is broken and working on a fix.

Good idea, we can get this in.

Actually, those use the decal channel (UV3) to map the orange racing stripes to those weapons. The green flames on the Ravenous weapons do the same thing, as well as the skull decal on the Gallows LMG.

Hey, this is something we want to be able to do, but tech doesn't quite support yet. Infantry weapons, very specifically, don't inherit empire tint, and it needs to be debugged as to why. I'm hoping it won't be too difficult to resolve once we've got time to look at it, but it's pretty low on the priority list.

Once it's fixed, we'll also need to go back fix any weapons currently using empire tint, which includes weapons like the Endeavor series (the orange is using our "empire tint" channel.) Fortunately there are very few of those as of yet. Then we'll need to ensure there's no other knock-ons from the changes, and we're off to the races.
