[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;37452025]For those who missed/cbf watching the design feedback meeting: [url]http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/planetside-2-design-meeting-stream-notes-8-28-2012.10509/[/url] Not mentioned here but mentioned in the stream: [i]"WALLS ARE COMING"[/i] Was that on West 01?[/QUOTE] West 03.

How many players are on beta now compared to what it'll be like on full release? I'm talking for one server [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] Just so I can properly gauge the scale of it

[QUOTE=joost1120;37450780]Magrider is easily the best anti-tank weapon in the game. It's pretty much invulnerable to other tanks, because it can move sideways easily, while constantly shooting the enemy tank. I killed 5 tanks before I got taken down by a lot of anti-tank infantry.[/QUOTE] I have yet to die against a Magrider while driving my Vanguard - the Magriders are just so much more squishy than the Vannie. I've died more often to Magriders when I'm buying aircraft and they're spamming their main gun at the spawnpad, blowing up my vehicle as soon as it spawns.

[QUOTE=goon165;37453102]seems pretty dead, no more than a few hundred per server.[/QUOTE] Joking right? I've seen a few servers get pop locked already (2000 players)

[QUOTE=KorJax;37453327]Joking right? I've seen a few servers get pop locked already (2000 players)[/QUOTE] West 3 is pretty dead most of the time.

I have been a part of a outfit for a couple of days (most of us use mikes) Yesterday we decided to get flashes and drive around the desert capping all the smaller bases and some of the big ones. I have to say it was the most fun I have had in an fps for a long time. There was so many of us that watching it from the sky in a Mosquito was really fun to watch. We just rolled in never got off we drove around the buildings inside and ran over any nc or vs that got in the way. And finally at the end of the day at like 1am we went to our warp gate and got every person we could see there to get a Flash and form up to drive off to the crater to speed down inside for a huge takeover. Best gaming session in a long time I will be with this outfit for a long time. (and on the way to the crater we picked up loads of people following us all confused as to why loads of Flashes was driving in a pack)

Anticipation for the key is killing me. Do I need amazing internet for this?

[QUOTE=KorJax;37453327]Joking right? I've seen a few servers get pop locked already (2000 players)[/QUOTE] Did they ever say the population limit is 2000? It just says it's full, it could also be 600 or 1000.

That terrible feeling when you spend 5000 Auraxium on an anti-infantry gatling gun for your Mosquito to be more effective as ground support and all ground combat dries up completely.

[QUOTE=Firewarrior;37453456]Did they ever say the population limit is 2000? It just says it's full, it could also be 600 or 1000.[/QUOTE] well they said it would be that way when all's ready, so we can't tell for certain for now

What I find hilarious is that I genuinely haven't fought any Vanu yet; as NC, I've spent the majority of my time shooting at the colour red :v:

[QUOTE=Jacko245;37453504]What I find hilarious is that I genuinely haven't fought any Vanu yet; as NC, I've spent the majority of my time shooting at the colour red :v:[/QUOTE] On my NC char I have more NC kills than VS kills. No one likes the VS.

28mb update! :o

The VS only come out at night remember

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;37453453]Anticipation for the key is killing me. Do I need amazing internet for this?[/QUOTE] Dunno about internet, but get ready for your computer to cry bitch tears.

this game seems quite good with latency playing from australia, this game is better than many fps games i've played that have no where near the scale i of course notice some delays with people dying but in general everything is quite smooth

[QUOTE=MegaJohnny;37453633]Dunno about internet, but get ready for your computer to cry bitch tears.[/QUOTE] I have an amazingly good graphics card (can play BF3 on ultra fine) so I am not worried about that.

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;37453668]I have an amazingly good graphics card (can play BF3 on ultra fine) so I am not worried about that.[/QUOTE] BF3 is well optimized in comparison to PS2, I'd still get towels ready.

[QUOTE=Legolas;37453613]28mb update! :o[/QUOTE] I think these things are the only "bigger" changes in the update: [url]http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/new-facility-flow-adjustments.10654/[/url] It's great to know that this is a REAL beta and not a demo beta, they actually change and try a lot of things.

Are the servers up yet?

[QUOTE=Angua;37453990]Are the servers up yet?[/QUOTE] Indeed they are

Any confirmation that the update had any optimization changes? I'd love to actually play on medium or high when my system has no reason not to.

[QUOTE=Legolas;37453692]BF3 is well optimized in comparison to PS2, I'd still get towels ready.[/QUOTE] somehow I get better fps on High in PS2, than Ultra in BF3. I don't understand how. PS2 also loads a shitload quicker.

I like to draw and i also like Planetside 2...

Beautiful, the work of a master. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] I can just feel your passion for this game

rocket pods are hilariously powerful got them on my scythe, holy shit I don't think I've ever killed so many players in one go

Latest patch lowered my fps again :v:

[QUOTE=Rastadogg5;37451939]Proper Galaxy piloting techniques. [IMG]http://niggaupload.com/images/sAcBI.gif[/IMG] Fixed image[/QUOTE] Was that on East 1? There was literally a three hour long defense of the crown, largest battle I've ever seen, probably around 600 people running about, gritty shitty and laggy. T'was epic. NC were defending it, and we were literally jammed between the Vanu and Terran territory, far far away from any of our territories, being invaded from all sides by a crushing horde. But we survived d'yat shit.
