Planetside 2 Thread v2 - Beta floodgates open GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY - Games

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;38020070]More beta keys in announcement emails! K269-NXN9-R97X-KENE-4PJR[/QUOTE] My god, thank you so much. Just redeemed it.

Any Terran Republic FP outfits?

The XP/Auraxium you are supposed to get for facility bases and caps is bugged. Now you receive nothing. The only way to gain sufficient XP, Auraxium, and Cert points is to kill. Kill everything.

I've no-one to pass this onto, so here: KJGN-T3E2-TKZX-P2RH-KTE3

I'm sure other have been exploiting it now, the repair exploit is when you die repairing a vehicle and it will keep healing until the vehicle dies.

[QUOTE=The golden;38020461]Now that they changed how you make auraxium, I make only 70-80 per session, which means it'll take 85 days to get one of the good weapon unlocks. Literally overnight PS2 has become the most expensive F2P game I've ever seen.[/QUOTE] Auraxium gain is now 4% of all XP you earn (I think), rather than the original 4% of XP in Auraxium bases + passive gain from holding bases. So now, it will take 250,000 XP to earn 10000 Auraxium. That's 2500 kills or 500 base captures (not including the 200/400/600 from flipping control points in the base). However there is currently a bug that capturing bases isn't rewarding the 500xp it's supposed to ([url]https://twitter.com/mhigby/status/257151433651130370[/url]) so basically: Time to grind for kills/xp at The Crown.

I had hoped they would increase the amount you get from XP from 4% to about 6%-7% to make up for the fact that in any given play session, if you fought only at facilities, you'd make half of your araxium from the passive rate and half from the active rate. This rate was a decent rate, because it was still somewhat slow while not being too agonizing (though if you happened to get screwed either on the active front or the passive front it'd be really slow). Without passive araxium, we pretty much make half as much araxium when it was already borderline "too slow", unless they increase the rate. I don't think they need to really double it (since you get it everywhere now, not just facilities, which means you'll have much more active arax coming in if you play around the map), but it needs to be increased to make up for the retardedly low percentage of araxium you get from XP if this is the only way you can get it now. So basically until they do that, weapon unlocks basically will never happen and araxium might as well be a useless resource.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;38017781][quote]Performance: We continue to make performance optimizations to improve your gameplay experience.[/quote][/QUOTE] Having quite significant issues with performance, I would hope they'd be going a bit more into detail about this instead of just saying "we are bothering with it".

I don't complain when I am in the middle of nowhere, but getting 5 fps in one of the significant battles which this game is mostly focused on is not enjoyable.

Gave my extra key to my friend for his birthday. Too bad I can't play with him on this laptop.

Please tell me that the infiltrator can buy a shotgun.

Aww didn't get an extra key in the latest update message, hopefully in the next so I can get a copy for my brother

Have we got a confirmed release date yet?

I got the turbo and the 20mm Basilisk gun for my Flash goddamn it's awesome to use. I can pull sick drifts across the northern part of the map, use stairs to go flying into the air, and accelerate to 100kph almost instantly.

Honestly beta runs flawless for me on high settings in all situations but I'm on an i5 and I know its more optimized for those Was trying to play today but gave up. Just way to laggy. Takes 8 seconds just to activate my ability. Plus with you only ever earning araxium from kills/repairs/misc shit instead of base captures or spawns, theres really no point.

Shotgun would be nice to run and gun with while cloaked though - basically an instant stealth kill ala TF2 or something.

All my friends are already in so here, have an extra key people. 29K7-TXG2-AJ6F-9EZ4-329C

I just started playing beta again as TR, thankfully my performance is much better than before. But today I just wanted to try fighting on Esamir for the first time only to find that NC had ~95% of the population there, as well as every god damned territory on the map.

[QUOTE=benzinxrm;38022116]All my friends are already in so here, have an extra key people. 29K7-TXG2-AJ6F-9EZ4-329C[/QUOTE] Thank you very much

Let the NC rot there.

There's still no point to fight on other continents at all, instead of making auraxium gain global they just made so you get 1aux/25xp

Soooo where are these new heavy weapons? I cant seem the find them :c

[QUOTE=MadBomber;38022501]Soooo where are these new heavy weapons? I cant seem the find them :c[/QUOTE] Cost 5000 Aux in the store.

First couple of days playing this I actually got lost exploring.. didn't think too much of the game. Now that I actually find the battles, it's quite fun killing some enemies. Although my frame rate dropping from 60 to 25-30 is really hard to get to grips with in battles. I really would appreciate it if it didn't do that, would be enjoyable. So, capturing facilities, killing enemies.. how do I access the weapon store and do I need to find other things? I'm new.

Here FPers, have some keys. M7NF-CH2C-K9RF-K2EZ-MA27 TRMZ-FR2C-7NCJ-RDGF-X4KD 67AA-CMCR-26MD-JKRM-EDXC

My new favorite tactic is to sneak up behind a Sunderer that is a major spawn point for enemies, and when there's a bunch of people repairing it, throw a grenade. Instant 5+ kill streak. Or this [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8077697/PS2Sneak1.png[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8077697/PS2Sneak2.png[/img_thumb] I tried recording a video but PS2 doesn't like my lowly 3GB of ram. What actually happened between these two pictures: I took the first picture, threw a grenade, and was killed by my own grenade. Oops. Then I respawned and walked back down, threw the grenade and took the second one. Either way I still got like 6 kills at once since there were more people the second time I went down.

I can't wait until I finally can play.
