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

I'm not sure about the advanced mechanics since I just started playing last night, but one person CAN take it, but if I'm not mistaken it would take forever. Also if you're trying to shoot straight in and your path gets cut off from other bases of your faction, you can't capture them. You have to make sure you're actually on the point, if it's an A. For an A, B, C you need them all to really get anywhere. And generally when action starts around a border with capturing, the game will encourage others to redeploy there and back you up.

Any tips for vehicles? I had some experience with some last night. I seen some guy try to re land his air ship, he ended up ending up crashing upside down on some building. I tried some air ship and I managed to shoot one enemy ship down before I was shot down.

To the untrained eye, a mosquito (TR (Red) gunship) at night looks exactly like a reaver (NC (Blue) gunship) etc. Also know what's around you. It's way too easy to accidentally teamkill/suicide/waste things, even in broad daylight. The rest is standard vehicle play.

Grrr, bought the underslung shotgun for the new Gauss Saw S so I could pretend it's a Morita from Starship Troopers, but it's bugged and can't be equipped. Other than that it's actually a decent weapon.

Ah alright! Thanks for all the help guys. One more question that's a bit off topic from the main game play. Does it use cryengine? The first person view of your arm/gun just reminds of crysis so much.

It was built especially for Planetside 2, and I think Everquest Next is going to use it too.

The engine is called Forgelight. EDIT: Damn slow NC reflexes.

Woo! Vanu on Thebe took Esamir and Amerish. And we successfully defended Indar from the TR conquest at the same time.

[QUOTE=Pie108;38445220]Woo! Vanu on Thebe took Esamir and Amerish. And we successfully defended Indar from the TR conquest at the same time.[/QUOTE] I'm happy it was Vanu, I was worried they wouldn't get any continents before beta finished.

On my server (one of the US east) Vanu have had complete domination of one continent at all times since I started.

Jesus christ weapon locks. I shot one of my deployable turrets to see what would happen, ruined the rest of my night. Once I was unlocked, if one or 2 stray bullets hit a teammate I would be done.

[QUOTE=venn178;38445324]On my server (one of the US east) Vanu have had complete domination of one continent at all times since I started.[/QUOTE] It's the Ice continent if I can recall correctly. And the other 2 usually are the NC getting destroyed trying to pushing in TR bases or the Vanu steam rolling our borders.

I hate infiltrators. [I]Allied[/I] infiltrators.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;38445315]I'm happy it was Vanu, I was worried they wouldn't get any continents before beta finished.[/QUOTE] We had Esamir last night. I think my outfit is moving to the east server on launch along with a couple other outfits.

I'm a little upset that I can't get the settings I want because I have to use a work station card. Otherwise if someone can give me some hits on how to get the best look out of a Nvidia NVS 5200m please help me.

[QUOTE=Bucketboy;38435289]Here you go babe. 24CZJZDCAXFMZXMCKRCX ZEPPP4Z96FTGTHX47ZTC PE7E9A6JH7MDFEX69CFK 66GRDXR7T2CR9ZN9D4HX CHJG62NNMM6T9C7KKKMZ[/QUOTE] thank you :)

Logged in today after having not logged in for quite a few weeks (Started college) and I somehow have 1000 certs. I have essentially no progress on anything, so I am wondering what I should go for? What is the most retarded fun that you can have in small amounts of time, etc. I have a soldier on VS, TR, and NC, lvls 2, 3, and 4 respectively. All of them have 1000 certs.

It is getting really annoying how the launcher decides it will only download/install the last 3mb worth of an update at about 1-2kb/s >.< Is this happening to anyone else?

Woot got in beta.

the NC LA starter rifle seems to be really good. Killed 2 Vanu scums easily with it. The joy of altering .ini files for 60 fps ( anyway, for whoever might be interested, I'm Nitronik (TR) and Nitronik4ever (NC), on Eurydom )

[QUOTE=Xed;38446541]please explain how to receive this elusive 60 fps[/QUOTE] It's mainly a matter of completely disabling shadows, and reducing the render distance. Take a look at my CFG : [quote] [Rendering] GraphicsQuality=2 TextureQuality=1 ShadowQuality=0 -> [b]Shadows are completely disabled[/b]. This alone let me gain 10-15 FPS RenderDistance=300.000000 -> very low render distance, you can spot fog in the distance, you can still keep mid-long range abilities MaximumFPS=100 UseLod0a=0 OverallQuality=-1 LightingQuality=1 EffectsQuality=1 TerrainQuality=1 FloraQuality=1 ModelQuality=1 VerticalFOV=50 ParticleLOD=0 FogShadowsEnable=0 MotionBlur=0 VSync=0 [/quote] My renderer quality is set at 60%, but you have to modify .ini files to reduce render distance (which is absurdly high) and disable shadows.

So are characters being reset at the end of beta? Edit: Good job I stocked up on SmedleyBux, Cant imagine flying without rocket pods anymore. Double Edit: New loading screen! Apparently the Mosquito has guns on its wings :v:

[QUOTE=Cuddly;38446403]Woot got in beta.[/QUOTE] well given the sheer volume of keys that have been posted it isn't any wonder. [editline]14th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=MadBomber;38446713]So are characters being reset at the end of beta? [/QUOTE] Course they would be, every game does.

3GB patch nghhh

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;38447194]3GB patch nghhh[/QUOTE] I don't mind big patches except when they're big for NO REASON

Planet Side 2 worth investing money into?

[QUOTE=Rich209;38447221]Planet Side 2 worth investing money into?[/QUOTE] as long as you like it, I guess.

They removed the picture of the TR with a chaingun in the launcher, I guess they've decided rigging a new set of animations is too much for them

I edited the ini and nothing has changed. I think it may be an issue with my graphics card
