Dice: Can we please have the PDS-1 fixed?

[saurus]

I know the issue is known but I feel this is a major bug because it leaves an unlock totally useless or a vital commander tool useless. I feel the squeaky wheel gets the grease or so I am hoping. I am glad you are improving some of the other weapons and items in the game and even adding some stuff but saw no mention of a fix for our pds-1. I don't use it anymore because of it and many others do the same or destroy the ones the find.

Also I read in here somewhere where someone suggested a different color. I was thinking that wouldn't be a bad idea for all scans. (eg. The same color you are. Blue if you are lone wolf or green if on a squad and the commander always the clear.) I don't know how this would fly with coding and all that but just an idea I saw around.

Oh God Please!

agreed. it sucks having this cool little toy with an awesome little antenna but you can't use it because it screws your team.

While they're at it let's make it to where I can spawn on my own titan EVERY round :hmm: .

[Aegis001]

It gets fixed in the next patch, i tried it on the beta and it seemed to work

[Splinter]

it's been fixed in the Beta Patch.

it's been fixed in the Beta Patch.

Woo! I have been waiting ages to crack out the PDS-1 again.

Its a prety usefull tool now that you can spam it at will.

It looks like cheating sometimes, just place a pds-1 on titan defence see them pod into the vents and spam a nade. They dont even know how they died.

OP, do you mean have the radar blips show up as the same color as you on the map? If so, that doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

The PDA breaks the UAV and robs your team of any information.

I usually hunt the offending PDA and try to kill it. But more commonly blast the offending engineer and force him or her to disable the damn thing.

However, I save the vinegar for the game creators who let this slip out of testing into retail.. I mean come on.. WTF? I think you are too much in a hurry to get the product to market.

Some of the servers will throw the engineer out for using a PDA.

Fixing the PDS would require EA to fix something. This is unacceptable to them. NO MORE QUESTIONS!

[nimski]

I thought it was meant to be that way??!?! You can sneak your squad into an enemy back base, like EU Suez, and plant it. They will never see you on radar then, very handy IMO.

Yeah that circle blip. From what I had read some people cant tell the commanders UAV from everyone else's scanners and that was the idea I saw. To me I really don't care, I am just happy the PDS-1 is fixed in the next patch.:D (Although they could have put it in the patch notes;) )

i use the bug to my advantage and place it on the enemy titan so they cant find us.

You realize thats the textbook definition of exploit right? ;)

It would then look like you're pinging a bunch of friendlies, no?

[ghastly]

I thought the bug was that any UAV-type scanners on your team only were affected, not the entire server.. So really you're just hurting your team by doing that.
