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

I know it may not be quite ready for a November release, but I'm eagerly waiting for it nonetheless. The only thing stopping me from playing daily now is knowing character progression will be reset soon.

Is it not working right now, anyone else?

Got the level 2 zoom for the liberator. It's so zoom-y, and nice. Also, I think the standard "secondary" gun for that plane is the best overall weapon for it.

Wow, the out of bounds thing is really fucking dumb. Ten seconds time is not enough to turn around a liberator going at full speed.

Like, knowing each bit of exp I earn is actually going somewhere for real. It should make the game more enjoyable until they actually add some fulfilling meta game. (I hope)

[QUOTE=NoDachi;38251265]Try a full gal :v: Not the best way to ingratiate yourself with a new corp. [/QUOTE] In PS1 I flew a gal during outfit operations. I wasn't new, but I hadn't been there long. They just wanted the quickest Gal they could get and I was already in sanc. So we get in, head to a tower where our orders are to drop on the tower and secure it, which was a typical thing we did being a fast reaction resecure outfit. We all drop when I realize my mistake: I was the pilot of a Galaxy that is no longer being flown. We lost half our squad as several tons of rapidly descending dropship slammed into the roof of the tower. That was the day my Galaxy license was pulled forever.

How do you join an outfit? I only have an option to create one. Which'd be great, but then nobody could join it. :v:

Its request only.

Also right now I am stuck in a queue with it going "calculating" Who's dumb idea was it to include queues, but not game-wide characters. Who's gonna want to sit in a queue for ages to play their levelled up character that's confined to one server, new players are gonna see this shit and just quit.

It would be better with a sanc. I mean, PS1 had queues. But the sanc rarely got poplocked (hilarious when it did though) so even if you couldn't ~join the fight~ just yet you were at least running around ingame which is slightly more interesting than looking at a loading screen.

Any NC players here know of a good outfit to join?

You know what's reeeaaaally dumb? You can no longer outrun launcher missiles by using the afterburner. The only counter are chaffs. What the shit.

[QUOTE=blazingfly;38252890]You know what's reeeaaaally dumb? You can no longer outrun launcher missiles by using the afterburner. The only counter are chaffs. What the shit.[/QUOTE] It is called being evasive, which a lot of pilots seem to not know how to do. I.e Use afterburner to fly behind a building or a cliff to cause the missile to hit that instead of you.

Turns out I won a dogtag from one of the facebook giveaways.

Speaking of dogtags I'm gonna be giving away 2 sets of them soon in a stream. I will also eventually give away some autographed dog tags signed by higby, clegg, tramell, margaret, and totalbuscuit. [editline]30th October 2012[/editline] Oh and 2 copies of their pc gamer issue signed by the whole team.

Because the missile is going faster than you its turn radius is larger than yours.

oh wow, we just had the most intense battle ever and i recorded every second of it. it involved galaxies flopping over in mid-air to crash a horrific death, people falling through the ground, and my favorite, random vehicle glitching here and there and tank chassis going invisible aka floating turret syndrome perfect for my "NO NOV 20 RELEASE" ad

[QUOTE=Swineflu;38254807]What the fuck is going on. So there's a glitch that can make you invincible?[/QUOTE] Well you are 50% of the time invincible in warpzones (It seems arbitrary if you are or not, some people are invincible, some can be killed for no reason)

[QUOTE=hogofwar;38255242]Well you are 50% of the time invincible in warpzones (It seems arbitrary if you are or not, some people are invincible, some can be killed for no reason)[/QUOTE] Yeah, the thing is they were in enemy warpzones

wow, forget using this footage for its intended purpose, the footage i ended up getting turns out to be really cool since everybody in the squad blows up on mic when we get under fire

I dont think i can go TR at launch. i just got killed by XXSNIPERXX. Im not joking on the name either.

[QUOTE=69105;38255635]wow, forget using this footage for its intended purpose, the footage i ended up getting turns out to be really cool since everybody in the squad blows up on mic when we get under fire[/QUOTE] so post it

How does one get the wings of the reaver to straighten out? Mine are always pointed up.

Is it just me and my 20 fps, or is infiltrator just a pain in the ass to play?
