Welcome Auraxians! 

In today’s letter we have a very special announcement for you! Server merge! That’s right, we’ve been working on testing this major shift and are excited to share the details with you. 

Before we discuss that topic, we want to address the serious matter of cheating in the game. We understand that online cheating has affected your gaming experience, and as we tackle this issue and crack down on hackers, your reports and feedback are immensely valuable.

...and the logic behind this is a really simple one:

Lower cone of fire = CoF tightens faster while ADS'ing.

And the "long short story" behind this is that I saw this video, went for the same "I'm gonna try to mimick this" shenanigans and it worked. Hell, I even managed to down those typical "chain headshotting me like theres a magnet on top of my nose" players. And yes, more than once, even while completely rusty (It's my second day back in the game after a long hiatus.). Also had a couple situations where I died, but made the heavy wipe both of his shield ability and its "basic" shield (Not a normal occurrence before then, but right now it is.)

**New 11-Year Anniversary b

Hello, fellow Auraxians! We're thrilled to bring you this development update, giving you a sneak peek into some of our upcoming plans for PlanetSide 2 and some clarity on our intentions for future communication and better transparency. To kick things off, let’s talk about what’s coming this week: Outfit Wars!

The Enlistment Phase for Nexus Season 2 begins Nov 15th, and the first round of qualifiers for the new season of Outfit Wars begins December 1st! We are excited to host this event this year and are looking forward to watching this year’s matches play out. Feedback around the timing of this year’s event along with the concern over player participation is something we have noted.

We will have more details on what that

Long, short story:

Am bad-to-average FPS gamer, looking to improve. Saw an OSU! gamer flinging its "shots" left and right and tried my best to mimick the experience in an FPS. And it worked significantly -- all of my shots felt more "secure", even with my aiming being rusty beyond belief.

And the "trick" to do this is simply leaving your "aiming hand" to aim (ONLY) while leaving your "non-aiming hand" to shoot and everything else. That's it.

was finally able to play the game again yesterday, and I love the new Sanctuary theme. I put it on YouTube with a download link for the original file, for archival sake

I was touched by this message from YouTuber and fellow Planetman Teszro, who faithfully postulates that for just 500dbc a month we, too, can stop the senseless teamkilling of at least one poor soul on Auraxis!

I'm Believe!
