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

Was part of a TR tank rush on the snow continent, we completely took over a facility nearly instantly and it pretty much turned into TR nearly insta-killing VS when they jumped up out of their spawn near the top of the tower. I got a ton of XP, and a ton of kills, including my first melee kill!

Is there a facepunch squad? I'm surprised cause it sounds like there isn't one.

FP TR EU; [url]http://www.facebook.com/TerranMobileInfantry[/url] I jumped in on a large outfit's operation so I could see how they organised it, hoping to bring some good practices over to the MINF [img]http://i.imgur.com/kOIy1l.jpg[/img] [url]https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.515106691841719.123983.511557915529930&type=1[/url]

If we're getting a FP squad on the USEast server on TR then that would be great. I'm tired of everyone on this server/faction wanting to go to The Crown as the NC push up right outside our warpgate.

[QUOTE=Framperton;38179847]I think I'm slowly becoming [i]disenfranchised[/i] with this game.[/QUOTE] I don't think that's the word you're looking for. Disillusioned, perhaps? But anyway, until continent locks and benefits come in this problem isn't going to go away. It really is fighting over the same things every day with no real reward for doing so. The only thing that keeps me doing it is that most of the Devil Dogs are a fun bunch of people to squad with. I think giving it a break is a good choice, you don't want to burn out before the game is even released.

So, anybody wanna join me in a stream? Been asked to do one for a channel that has a decent amount of viewers and I'd rather not do it alone. If you have an outfit I could tag along in that would be good too. You'd get some nice publicity.

Oh, fucking great. I finally get my beta access and what happens? SOE's shitty policy of having a limit on password reset attempts (which I didn't even want to do yet I was forced to) fucks me over after I accidentally mistype my password [i]once[/i] and then tells me to fuck off until tomorrow. :suicide:

Is the NC14 Bolt Driver a Vanu Weapon?

No it is just for the New Conglomerate. The game is trying become asymmetrically balanced, but yeah bolt drivers are good.

[QUOTE=litestrike;38188704]No it is just for the New Conglomerate. The game is trying become asymmetrically balanced, but yeah bolt drivers are good.[/QUOTE] Then how did a Vanu shoot me with one? I just got killed by a friendly with one...

All factions have bolt drivers now, it's just that the NC infiltrator starts with one

One of these days, Korjax. [img]http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/9379/oneofthesedayskorjax.jpg[/img] I went out of my way to try and flank you but then I got run over by a friendly Sunderer...

You can never defeat me [editline]26th October 2012[/editline] I am protected by the vanu holy spirit

My new PC showed up today. Hopefully I will be able to join the big firefights without dropping to 6 FPS. Now I only have to play with a ping of 250+ (until the Aussie server comes online).

I'm not recognizing those iron sights at all, and I pretty much have all the NC weapons unlocked.

So i was able to play for a good while today and i have a few questions. Do infantry have ANY chance against tanks? i noticed i was hitting a vanu tank with my TR (red guys?) rocket launcher and it took me 7 shots to kill the fucker. So how the hell do i have a chance against vehicles?! I noticed that certain bases were not equipped to deal with enemy tanks being that it could only spawn ATV's and Sunderrer. reason i bring this up is because we were constantly being spawn killed by 3 tanks (once again none of us could kill them) and we couldn't even spawn a tank to fight them. I'm guessing its designed this way so your allies have to help you out from other bases. Air vehicles, does PS2 have the same thing that BF3 has where a person who's spent more time playing will have obviously better things to take you down with? Because the few times i got in an aircraft to go and help out i would immediately be chased and gun down before i could do a thing against them.

That's where they're weakest. You're not supposed to be able to take on massive tank invasions of minor bases. The major bases are another story. If you're getting spawn killed then stop spawning. Vehicles do become stronger with upgrades yes. In bf3 you can only gain those unlocks by flying the vehicles. In PS2 you can use the certs you earn doing other stuff to finance your vehicles.

Flanking helps a whole load, you could kill a heavy tank in like 3 rockets if they all land in the rear armor

Lol my Sunderer kept up an attack for TR for 30 whole minutes. We only lost it as the server shut down when we got surrounded by Magriders on all sides and Scythes in the Sky. I got enough to certs from it to get the anti air rocket launchers and its literally a straight upgrade. It has like no drop off and is a lot faster. I must have killed at least 10 scythes defending my sunderer with it. Its all the pretty good against magriders, killed a lot of those too.

what the fuck, you can shoot out of team forcefields? that's gay

Do squad leaders need to certify to allow squad members to spawn on them after the latest patch? I wait 10 seconds and it does nothing.

[QUOTE=MisterM;38189798]Do squad leaders need to certify to allow squad members to spawn on them after the latest patch? I wait 10 seconds and it does nothing.[/QUOTE] Squad Leader spawning uses up your Instant Action cooldown.

How would I get into the outfit? I think i got invited at one point but when I accepted nothing happened.

Wish this game didn't crash on my computer that I keep at school. Guess that's SOE's way of saying either "You need to focus on classes" or "Haha you fucking suck, so we're gonna pull the plug." Maybe both.

Maybe you shouldn't play video games at school.

[QUOTE=krail9;38189754]what the fuck, you can shoot out of team forcefields? that's gay[/QUOTE] Don't suppose you play on NC on EU? i was annoying people in the biolabs behind the shield :v:

[QUOTE=krail9;38189754]what the fuck, you can shoot out of team forcefields? that's gay[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it's like that to attempt to prevent spawn camping.

Still didn't get my beta key...sucks.
