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

Btw, did anyone change FOV? If so, to what on what res?

[QUOTE=maqzek;37456226]Btw, did anyone change FOV? If so, to what on what res?[/QUOTE] I'm at 74, and 1920x1080 I can see through walls at certain angles

74 is like 100 horizontal. It's a bit too much for me, I keep it at 65, which is like 90 in horizontal. Was wondering if anyone was using higher than 65.

[QUOTE=FlyingDog;37453494]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] Too bad none of the air vehicle weapons priced below 12,500 auraxium are worth shit Save up for the 12,500 ones, only weapons (for aircraft) that are actually decent over the default weapons [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;37453668]I have an amazingly good graphics card (can play BF3 on ultra fine) so I am not worried about that.[/QUOTE] PS2 is very CPU+harddrive intensive, the video card actually doesn't matter nearly as much for it (worst case scenario you set your render quality down lower and run the game on medium). Most of the people who are getting terrible performance right now is because of thier CPU's being from the core2 line, which apparenlty the game is not currently too optimized for (but it will be - being a beta and all). Though that said, big battles still run slower if you video card is bad simply because of more going on, but your CPU and HDD speed is probably the most dominant determining force for your performance

God damn, I hate how smoothly scoped crosshair moves. Mouse smoothing or whatever it is, it needs to go. Fast. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] Also, how do I rearm a tank? Something about being close to vehicle pads? [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] Long battle over NE of Zurvan, VS vs TR. Epic.

Oh man if there are trenches on Esamir i'm going to jizz all over my desk

This is only game ever where ambient occlusion doesn't affect framerate at all.

[QUOTE=maqzek;37456226]Btw, did anyone change FOV? If so, to what on what res?[/QUOTE] I changed it to 90 through the ini file, 1920x1080. I prefer it to the 74 fov.

[QUOTE=Raldios;37459177]I changed it to 90 through the ini file, 1920x1080. I prefer it to the 74 fov.[/QUOTE] But 74 is already like 100 horizontal?

[QUOTE=loco;37459242]But 74 is already like 100 horizontal?[/QUOTE] I guess his fish parents don't allow anything less than 121 horizontal. [editline]30th August 2012[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/3eirn.png[/img] I hope they don't enable it early or they'll have hard time keeping up with NDA breakers

They really need to step up optimization before anything. It's terrible. (Or maybe i'm just paranoid that my brand new $1k computer that runs everything has finally met its match and can't come to terms with not being able to run the game fine.)

Although I guess it it a demanding game after all, kinda like ARMA but less buggy and more Sci-Fi. But you can run Arma fine, can't you?

my computer isn't very good, it probably cost ~$700 in the US ($1000 aus) 2 years ago I can still run this game fine, I can even stream it or record it at 30+ fps also I'm running it on a shitty 5 year old hdd and even the load times are quite good

uuugh still waiting for a beta-key, seems like everybody is having fun without me

Also, does anyone think we should make some list of players and their server? I'd like to join some squad but I have no idea who plays where.

Man, the amount of support and love they dedicated to this game, and it's free to play. Hats off for them, really really great work.

It's so sad how difficult it is to get in the beta. . . This thread is moving along at a snails pace because those Twitter Nazis won't let our fellow Facepunchers in. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] In the meantime you can enjoy hearing of my exploits! I always thought what might happened if a drop pod landed on a mid-air aircraft, and I saw it today when an NC pod landed on a speeding scythe or w/e the Vanu derpship is called. Big explosion, I believe the podded player died, too, t'was hilarious.

I once drop podded another pod. Followed that sucker all the way down, SPLAT. Shame he was on my team.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;37461553]Still some kinks here and there but they are simply just trying to see what works best.[/QUOTE] It's almost like [I]a beta[/I]

I swear once this new adjacent territory thing comes in, the NC war effort is going to fall apart all they seem to be capable of is backhacking the VS on EU 1 fact of the day: nobody knows what the NC gun actually shoots, because they've never taken a base that anyone has been defending.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;37461553]Granted though i'm pretty quick to point out [b]everything that needs fixing up.[/b][/QUOTE] I wouldn't go that far.

funniest moment of the night of beta for me was where an NC tank convoy barrelled into one of our biolabs, and started yelling the typical 'TAKE THIS BASE FOR FREEDOM' and 'GIVE THEM A 60MM HE SALUTE' or some shit, like a school for the mentally challenged had a day trip. they proceeded to get trapped nearish the lab and shot to death by masterful manoeuvring and shooting of the incredibly handsome vanu tank battalions.

Finally got a key :dance: My ATI 4670 and Intel Q8200 is ready to not run this game.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;37461898][t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/waitwhat4.jpg[/t] [/QUOTE] What is this I don't even

Holy shit, those mother fucking air to air rocket pods are super incredibly overpowered. Once they're locked on good luck trying to shake it, and seeing as you can't outrun or outdodge the missiles because the air vehicles move and turn so damn slowly, you're fucked. There is absolutely no way out, and I really hope they get a major, major nerf soon. Anyone with them dominates the skies completely.
