Has anyone got Ps2 yet and if so what are you going to be (TR NC VR ) and what will your name be
NC - Tiberian3
-
Stopped playing beta now until launch. But will be playing NC, and name will probably be Chug, unless I think of something clever and witty. Nah itll probably be Chug.
-
There's sides?
And apparently everyone is going NC?
-
Going NC to play in euroland.
VS to play on one of the US East servers - will be dragging RvB PS2ers along for that ride.
-
Any chance of a beginner's introduction evening?
Apart from you guys apparently wanting to join an NC rebel faction, I have no clue what the poop's going on with this game.
-
Loads of humans on a ship stranded from earth. They have a big lover's tiff, some leader gets significantly deader than he was previously, factions form, a planet is found...NC are rebels, Terran are Nazis and Vanu found a load of Alien shit and now run around thinking theyre Predator. Bout it really.
-
What's so good about NC then?
And can you spawn close to eachother?
-
NC have the attitude. They stand for freedom, whereas the Terran is more of a dictatorship/commy regime. The Vanu are pretty cool, advanced tech etc, but they use energy/laser type weapons. For me it has to be real bullets. Full metal jacket, baby. No functional differences, it's all about what you want to stand for ingame.
You can train into leadership and get squad beacons to deploy on a cooldown, so the whole squad can spawn together. You can spawn at any facility/outpost you own and you have a choice of which one to spawn at. As you usually own the region next to the one you are fighting for, you are never too far away from your buddies you are fighting with
-
NC MAX suits also have the bext look. Kinda like an armoured Ripley+loader suit.
-
Pretty sure all their shit will go offline after the countdown ends, but let me know what server we're on!
-
You need to uninstall the beta client first and install release client.
PS2 site died so use steam - log out then log back in if it errors.
-
direct link to dl exe:
https://launch.soe.com/installer/PS2_setup.exe
-
Yeah PS2 site is getting faceraped for the next hours. Read on their twitter that you can Steam it. No beta for me, so downloading that shizzat on the steamizzle at 5.6 mb/s.
-
Any clue on how to solve the 1001-uninstall error in Vista? I dont have a SOE folder anywhere in my C:\Users dir and/or cant find npsoeact.dll anywhere on my computer :P
-
I had the same. Just delete the entire planetside 2 beta folder :)
worked a treat for me, now installing.
Keep me updated on server. Pandion Knights are joining as Vanu, so would be awesome if you join the same server as them. That way I can play with you guys AND give them some pasty.
EDIT: PK have joined server 'Miller'. Care to join me in some Vanu genocide?
-
I restarted the beta, it downloaded something on the launcher, then I could uninstall SOME of it. Then I deleted the folder, then fiddled with regedit till I got bored and then started DL.
Let's see if it installs correctly once DL finishes... :D
-
Apparently I now have 3 Station accounts in total as I already had 2 I wasn't aware of. Dafuq.
-
I'll be on this for EU playage with you all:
Miller / NC Faction.
If you want to play with me and the rvbeve crowd we'll be on one of these two:
US East:
Mattherson
Waterson
As Vanu Sov.
-
Miller already has high pop. :(

Goaty, thats good. More targets :)
-
I spawned and got shot the fuck up.
Respawned and got run the fuck over by an NC in a tank.
What the fuck.

First person shooters.....you're doing it right.
-
Yeah Goaty, I forgot to mention they added a New Player tutorial that literally throws you into the action with little explanation of thats what is to happen.
-
Im MangalaSolaris on Miller / NC.
Im Mangala on Mattherson / VS.
-
I'm Goatboy on Miller. And I'm not feeling this game at the moment.
-
Keep at it, dude. Your toon is v weak at the mo. As soon are ytou manage to get enough certs to upgrade reflex sights etc etc it gets easier.
-
oh and I'm Kryokill, NC, Miller
-
Friend invites sent.
-
Saf, NC, Miller
Saffy, VS, Mattherson
-
I'll spend some time watching the tutorial videos now they're available again.
I mean I can figure out where everyone is heading and where the enemy supposedly is, but I can't seem to make it more than ten steps after spawning.
-
That all depends on where you're spawning too. If you are spawning in a location that is heavily under attack your life expectation is quite short indeed.
Also, FPS-games like this are very different from games like L4D (or regular MMO's for that matter). The majority of the players will die very, very, very often. The trick is to take as many as you can with you before you go.
Aaaaand, dying very, very, very often is more fun when you're happily chatting away with folks on mumble. I suggest you also make a VS char on US-Mattherson, where the RvB guys play. Had good fun with Mang and a bunch of them yesterday!
RvB being huuuuge it means there is a better chance of actually playing with other folks there.
There is the fact that some guys I played with at a small-scale LAN-party last summer also play at Miller - we could hook up with them if there aren't many folks around I guess.
-
No matter what settings I use, the game seems to look shit and run shit on my machine.

Press Alt+f to get a read of your fps in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Next to that it will give you an indicator of what is the bottleneck with your machine too. CPU or GPU will be there.

Also yes fun evening times on Matherson VS can be had.
-
I went with Low, 1600x900 and 100% rendering. That seems to work for now.
-
Going to cert into busdriver a bit on my VS char, now that I spent 50 on deploy - why the hell not. Ammo spawn next...
-
We Form Purple now contains 20 players or so. Including 2 EVE devs :)
So for fun evening times join us on matherson (US East) Vanu side :)
-
Yay, got my Sunderer ammo deployment cert!
Also, basic upgrades for ammo and zoom for turrets are really cheap (1 each), so if you roll around in a tank/w.e. now and then, I suggest you stick a few points in there to make the life of your vehicle-buddies easier.
-
So I thought: hey... let's create multiple characters so they can passively accumulate cert points. But I created another Vanu on Matherson and it started with 0 certs. Reckon that plan isn't going to work then?
-
All chars start with 0 cert point, no?
I'd check him again tonight or so...
-
Ok so apparently you can only have 3 characters right now. Are we ditching the EU server or should we keep a char on Miller EU?
-
Its 3 chars per server iirc, and then only one on faction per server.
Regardless though keep the miller nc char cos NC are good fun too.
-
Good fun again! Now to find the thin line between gaming time and gf time.
Also great to play with all you guys again!
Quite occupied this weekend, so not much action for me then. :(
-
Yeah last night was stunningly good fun.
Yes, VS seemed to be getting stomped hard on Amerish, but that just meant we had more targets.
-
Definitely more fun once you grasp the actual concepts and are moving in large groups.
I seem to suck as any type of infantry, but I can score some kills in tanks, max suits or when sniping.
Does anyone know if C4 is worth it? The idea of a highly upgraded jetpacker dropping a bundle of c4 into a group of enemy infantry or tanks is still appealing.
-
This slightly outdated wiki (http://wiki.planetside-universe.com/ps/C4) (still largely based on beta it seems) says that it takes 2 C4 to destroy a lightning. Doesnt say anything about explosion radius (which matters vs. infantry).
So... no clue, doesnt really sound like it.
-
Has anyone found any decent information on exact percentages (bonus) that certain certs give?
For instance, I'd like to know how much bonus the Nano Armor Kit certs (bonus repair speed for Engis) give, but cant find the numbers anywhere.
I'm saving for an M60 Bulldog as primary turret on my Bus (250 certs), but as my framerate is often so low, Engi is one of the only ways to go to get decent XP (try killing a moving, shooting target with <10 fps :() and I need stuff to boost my xp-gaining.
But it needs to be worth it. A ~2% bonus on repair speed aint worth it. A ~10% bonus is.
-
Reading up a bit (work is booooring) and: Thermal View scopes allow you to see cloakies! Ooooooh! ;D
(Was planning to take thermal view on my M60 (see above) anyway, as it is a very good vs. infantry gun (and does good direct hit damage to tanks too))
-
And has anyone tried the A30 Walker yet? It's the AA machinegun that can shoot farther up (vs. the standard M20 Basilisk that has a huuuuge blindspot around the Z-axis). How effective is it vs. planes (which it is intended for) and is it still usable vs. ground based baddies (i.e. can it also shoot level or even better: down?)
Am planning to put this on my Magrider if it's any good.
[/questionspam]
-
I think lololol01 possibly but something similar on his Lightning, but not sure if anyone has thrown them on a bus.

AA guns are grand against infantry

That's the vehicle turrets, right? Not the station turrets? That would be a cool thing to put on a Mag then! :)
Now to have more Tank runs, as we hardly do them anymore...

2 cert levels to go from 10 repair cycles to 11. Why am I not impressed? :-\
That's somewhere between 2.5 and 5% bonus I guess?

Here are vids of all scopes available in PS2

Jon, could you share on RvB, someone there wished they could preview the scopes before buying it. Cheers.

Ah, I now see that there also is an AA gun for the Lightning (http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning) (the Skyguard (http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/Skyguard)).
But I don't mean that one...
I mean the secondary gun on the Magrider (http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/Magrider), the A30 Walker.
Anyone got experience with that, or heard about how it performs?
-
Holy shit your resources are really messed up when the other two factions control most of the three continents. =/
