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

This last patch has dropped my framerate so much -.-

[QUOTE=maqzek;37404597]Anyone else think they should allow you to use same name across the servers?[/QUOTE] I think when you make a character for one server it should locks it for you encase you decide to use it for another. I don't know that might be a good idea might be bad. opinions ?

I wish they unlocked more certs. I know they've added many more in, but only at 999999 certs.

[QUOTE=alexojm;37404615]I think when you make a character for one server it should locks it for you encase you decide to use it for another. I don't know that might be a good idea might be bad. opinions ?[/QUOTE] I dunno, but it's kinda annoying to have like 4 different characters across 3 EU and 1 US server. What if EU #2 is full, should I make a new nickname and play with noob char? They should just lock 1 empire per region and have any character join any server in that region. I bet they all share some sort of backend, so it shouldn't be that hard.

Can anyone else not log in at all? I get "Error logging into the server. Please try again later." on both EU1 and 3.

Just keep spamming enter to get in. [editline]25th August 2012[/editline] Oh lawl, the sections of the Galaxy bend like poorly done Gmod easy wields. I can now squeeze my gal in alleys and be completely fine. Spring loaded wing masterrace.

I saw a Vanguard tank spawn at the warpgate vehicle spot at 90 degrees to the ground and then watched it spaz about while it exited the pad.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;37404712]mmm... These pop caps are more annoying than anything now. It'd be fine if your stats carried across to all the other servers.[/QUOTE] who cares about stats at this stage?

Dang I get a error at the end of character creation saying I can't connect to the server, but when I retry the name is taken. All my usual names are taken because of this damn bug

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37404725]who cares about stats at this stage?[/QUOTE] When should we provide feedback then, at launch? "Hey SOE, can you fix this stats transfer thingy? We didn't want to disturb you during beta, since you were busy and all. Anyway, thanks, bye." kidding. But really, imagine how many characters are you gonna have because of all different friends playing on different servers and some servers will be poplocked or down for maintenance.

One char per server.

[QUOTE=maqzek;37404761] Re-launch the game, it'll be at char selection.[/QUOTE] You are right, dang now I have 5 characters with the same faction in the same server. Still can't log in on one of them though :c

I think I will re create the inside of the galaxy in gmod with phx and wiremod. It should take me about 5 minutes. I will take a picture of each and compare them. That is if I can get in game again to study the dam thing.

Haha some Vanguard was driving around with his mic going "I AM INVINCIBLE YOU CANNOT DEFEAT MEEEEE" We started firing rockets at him "OW OW OW I'M SORRRRRRRYYYYYYYY" Boom

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37404773]But what if stats transfer is not planned. One char per server.[/QUOTE] Simply put that would not work on launch Imagine if you put $20 into a character, but you can never play because when you get time to play, the server that you are locked to is always full Not to mention it literally takes dozens of hours of playing to get enough in-game resources to start getting really good game-changing vehicle weapon unlocks. Spending that much time to get them only to never be able to play, simply would not work.

Been streaming for an hour, still no ban? Wtf. twitch.tv/knyll911

[QUOTE=KorJax;37404882]Simply put that would not work on launch Imagine if you put $20 into a character, but you can never play because when you get time to play, the server that you are locked to is always full[/QUOTE] You do realise each server will have more than one continent right? Right now we're stuck with one.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;37404921]anyone else just seeing hundreds of people standing perfectly still? yet, i encounter like maybe 2 other people in the entire base that can move and shoot[/QUOTE] It's because the system which normally dictates who gets streamed each others position and other data has broken under the load. So who you actually get to see with their server side info is sporadic.

Been spamming the play button, finally get in the server. No one is moving and I get disconnected after wandering a few minutes :v:

I'm just going to stop playing until later tonight when the servers are having less of a brain-wrong

On the bright side, we can finally fly aircrafts without stuttering.

Anyone have tips for improving FPS? Now its running better than before, but still stutters now and then.

I signed up for PS2 months ago, was I supposed to get a key or was it only a select few people?? I don't have any emails from them about it :(

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37404909]You do realise each server will have more than one continent right? Right now we're stuck with one.[/QUOTE] That's still only 6000 max players for one server AKA if you happened to sign up for a character early on, using East01, you are locked there for life. Most people would probably try and sign up on the first server listed in their region (aka East01). There are probably over 100,000 people in any given region (east, west, EU, etc) that would play the game, and that is being pretty low estimate wise (considering a mod like dayZ has over a million registered users). If you have even 1/3 of that registered their characters on a single server, thats about 30,000 people who can ONLY play on East01, and no other server. This means at any given moment, only about 10%-30% of the total number of characters registered on a server can actually play at any given moment. They need to make it so your characters are tied to your account, not your server. Or at least make it so you simply cannot reigster with a server if it has over 8000 or so people tied to it (and they should list how many people are tied to it).

Don't exepect to get in a for a few months unless you get a beta key from twitter/FB/PC gamer magazine/etc

They'll just keep rolling out more servers World of Warcraft style. They're probably planning to migrate the population issues with more and more continents that they have got planned. It's how ps1 dealt with it.

When I get to the faction select screen the panel is blank and the default is TR, so I am forced to play TR. Anyone else getting this?

Well I was playin and my FPS was doing fine, a little low but I'm on an older machine so it was expected. Now every time I start it is so low it's unplayable more or less, even on low. I hope it's just a beta problem.
