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

[QUOTE=Catdaemon;38112920]Yeah I love it, best investment ever. If you go to tawrich or something and park by the entrance you can make mad billz. I was there for about 20 minutes and made at least 150 certs. I also recommend one fury gun for the sunderer - you can take out those pesky magriders etc with it. I'm currently saving for blockade armour, is it any good?[/QUOTE] No clue I just got auto repair for when I'm not there to repair it.

[QUOTE=The golden;38114970]It isn't now and it won't be in one month. It's going to be one hell of a rough release.[/QUOTE] Hardly a release, they'll just remove the need to activate a beta key to play and the servers will run 24/7. It still won't get much more publicity than it has now, and they won't stop updating it suddenly. But it's still going to be a rough few weeks until they finally fix the worse bugs.

So more like an open beta?

Except you'll have to pay them for the privilege of any bonuses or SC items. And there will be no more wipes.

Hey so now that Auraxium is gone, how do you get implants?

[QUOTE=Thom12255;38115973]Hey so now that Auraxium is gone, how do you get implants?[/QUOTE] well implants aren't in the game currently. But you would probably get them via certs as well. Also, when do we get access to burst fire rifles? THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!!!

The TR medic gets access to a burst fire rifle. Not sure about the rest.

Been rolling with an AV Magrider w/ Saron HRB and an L100 AP Lightning operating as a tank destroyer unit. They snipe, I spot and flank with the lightning. Highlight was killing 2 lightnings and a prowler in one engagement.

Are either of the heavy rocket launchers worth getting?

[QUOTE=The1Flame;38117341]Are either of the heavy rocket launchers worth getting?[/QUOTE] I'd say yes because they don't have dropoff and seem to do the same amount of damage

Is there any difference between them then? [editline]20th October 2012[/editline] The hawk and crow I mean

[QUOTE=The1Flame;38117341]Are either of the heavy rocket launchers worth getting?[/QUOTE] The launcher and munition pouch was my favourite loadout before the last wipe. Rocket spam erry day. So much exp. [editline]21st October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=The1Flame;38118497]Is there any difference between them then? [editline]20th October 2012[/editline] The hawk and crow I mean[/QUOTE] One is AA one is AV. It makes me miss the tech test when the Heavy default launcher locked onto both air and ground targets and travelled super fast. So much spam.

I should have phrased my question differently: I heard that the AA one used to suck (only a few seconds of lock-on then goes in a straight line). Does it still? And what's the behavior of the AV one?

The AA is a bit slow but handles a lot better than it used to, and the AV behaves the same way I think, and they both have a maximum range of 500m, which in my opinion is too short for a game like this

Basically the AA is only really useful for scaring off ESFs and getting the odd lucky kill. But can be quite good at denying the area to liberators, while lacking the punch to deal with Galaxies. Unlike the AV lockon which is just a tank farm. Get it and enjoy all the kills and assists.

Guess I'm getting the AV then. Thanks

[QUOTE=The golden;38117934]In your opinion, what do you guys think is the best weapon attachment for the Flash? I know they fill different roles -but which do you think would be more useful for day-to-day usage? (Also, can the grenade launcher for it affect infantry?)[/QUOTE] i bought the faster machinegun back in an earlier build and it basically makes the flash a mobile mana turret. it was a lot of fun but tbh not worth spending points on over other things

[QUOTE=The1Flame;38118735]Guess I'm getting the AV then. Thanks[/QUOTE] Munition pouch cert goes well with it. 7 rockets can really make the difference.

the game is crashing every 30 minutes for me

Playing EU server, feel like I'm playing World of Tanks. NC and Vanu giving it each other with TANKS only.

It's the same one used on galaxies, sunderers and second slot in tanks, great against infantry and lightnings alike.

Is the C-4 any good for taking out vehicles? And when I used it on infantry it seemed kind of shit, but maybe it was a bug or something. I tossed it a foot away from a soldier and detonated it and it didn't kill him. Have you folks had any luck with it?

Then for some reason It just stopped doing ANY damage to tanks at all. Like it would just big a bi orange puff ball. the Damage radius on c4 tends to be a little spotty with infantry though, but what I do is put it on a doorframe and get an enemy to chase me through it before detonating it. Another good tactic for light assault is to jet over a bunch of enemies and drop it on them from above. Go so many group kills from that. Also, can anyone tell me how good the TR's 2 shot burst AR for the medic is? Like if I land both as headshots, will it kill instantly?

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;38120077]Oh my god these server queues [B]SUCK[/B] I'd much rather button mash my way into a slot rather than wait in line a full hour for one.[/QUOTE] So you'd rather sit there clicking than alt tab and do something else for 5 minutes?

[QUOTE=Catdaemon;38120105]So you'd rather sit there clicking than alt tab and do something else for 5 minutes?[/QUOTE] I used an autoclicker at 50 clicks per second to get in. :v:

Just tried registering for the beta. Who's the son of a bitch who stole my name? In all seriousness though this game looks sick.

Ti Alloy. That place is a bitch to attack and defend.

[QUOTE=Monkeytracks;38120662]Ti Alloy. That place is a bitch to attack and defend.[/QUOTE] Really sucks when there's enemy MBT's camping at the crown

[QUOTE=Monkeytracks;38120662]Ti Alloy. That place is a bitch to attack and defend.[/QUOTE] Was there about most of the damn evening. At some point I said fuck defending, gonna go capture something.

Shame its literally pointless to play atm with all this lag
