The Instant Action Podcast

On this week’s episode I first covered the PC Hotfix that dropped last Friday. Yes, no PS4 Game Update, but Nick did say that we should expect it this week, maybe by Thursday. After the PC Hotfix I had some good Recursion Stat Tracker news to share. After that it was back to game news with a PTS game update that changed the Aerial Anomaly and other stuff. I finished this week answering the age old question, How to not be one-shot by Snipers in a MANA turret.

After that I want to talk about the lack of a PS4 Game Update and who’s fault it is. Then I talked about the MAXimum Pressure alert a bit and finished this week by talking about datamined information and what that might mean for the future.

On this week’s show, first, I felt that I needed to make a statement about the recent reddit drama that I was involved in. Don’t worry, it was short. After that it was back to real news about Planetside 2 which includes a PTS Update that brought us the new Mentor Ranking as well as some Implant updates, a Dev Live Stream that showed off Sanctuary and a fun topic on Planetside slang.

On this week’s show, after an extended vacation deep in the internet-less woods of Maine, I started by giving my thoughts on Community Smash 7 of which I was a participant of the losing team. After that I talked about the new Bounties that Wrel teased last week. Then I gave my thoughts on whether members should get access to all weapons or not and finished this week’s show by talking about the two new trademarks that Daybreak Games made this past week.

On this week’s show I started by covering the July 2nd PC Hotfix which brought all of us PC players that glorious Quad XP on July 4th but also some miscellaneous fixes and a slew of Thumper buffs. After that I gave my opinion on the fact that PS4 players did not get to bask in the Quad XP glory and that’s not a good thing. Next I gave a shout out to Lampjaw and his stats website, Voidwell.com. I finished this week by talking about justice. Sweet, sweet justice.

Unfortunately it didn’t fix the Infiltrator cloaking issue…yet.

After that I gave my thoughts on MAXimum Pressure and finished up this week talking about RAM.

On this week’s show it was almost 100% radio silence from the Devs, save for a Tweet of information from Wrel about the Wasp, Thumper and more. So, instead I spent some time giving my thoughts on the Nanite Systems Operatives two months in, my thoughts on what you should spend your money on in game and some community consensus loadouts for each infantry class. All that plus a big thank you to Lex and FaborOne this week.
