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

Uninstalled the beta, I'm pumped for the release, and I know for a fact that I'm gunna end up dumping money into this game.

[QUOTE=ryfry99;38480904]What are some good buys for a NC engineer? I was leaning towards c-4 but would anti-vehicle mines work just as well if i were to shoot them? Or should i upgrade repair speed or armor? I really have no idea.[/QUOTE] Upgrade repair rate first, then get a shotgun - if you're an engineer, you probably won't be out on the front lines (on foot) very often, so you want something for some face-raping if someone sneaks up on you.

I got the alpha squad thing did I waste my money

[QUOTE=Taggart;38479544]TR should have any voices that aren't the ones they have I can't take a fight seriously when the guy in heavy armour next to me shouts out "ENEMY SUNDERER" in the most nerdy voice ever[/QUOTE] On the topic of voices, why the hell did they make the female voices sound like 13 year old girls? [editline]16th November 2012[/editline] It's like one of the devs brought in one of their daughters and let her voice the female characters.

[QUOTE=The golden;38481576]Do you like the game? Yes? Then no. No? Then yes.[/QUOTE] alright so it wasn't a waste

I hope you arent forced to use the aircraft controls they have right now but its hard to tell if you are going to be forced to fly with this retarded system because keybinding and axis binding has been broken forever. Rudder and pitch should be controller via the mouse. Not this bass ackwards shit they have now.

I feel it's fine for me, pretty easy for me to control.

I just think the roll is a bit sensitive that's all. I tried with a 360 controller, did a bit better. Although I kept having to switch between controller and mouse/keyboard when i wasn't flying, because the game doesn't recognize me holding down ironsights and firing(with controller). Won't fire if I have the other trigger held.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;38477869]What do they do to vehicles? In PS1 emp grenades disabled the weapon systems.[/QUOTE] It does the same AFAIK (I can't really confirm, the guy I threw it at could have just decided not to fire on me) But the effect is really minor/temprorary, the AoE is tiny so its not like you can take out a group of tank's weapons, and it doesn't really last any real length of time. It's a nice perk to it but incredibly situational, and every other thing about EMP grenades is trumped by normal grenades. Besides a better thing to do against tanks as an infiltrator (or whoever you use EMP nades with) is to just hide from it. Same effect, still get to keep a superior grenade type.

So dumb question but is everything getting wiped when the game comes out of beta? wondering if I should hoard certs or just use them up and have fun.

[QUOTE=ryfry99;38483932]So dumb question but is everything getting wiped when the game comes out of beta? wondering if I should hoard certs or just use them up and have fun.[/QUOTE] Yes, everything is getting wiped. Spend those certs while you can.

Oh man, 4x scope on Orion is amazing. Not for proper combat, but for counter sniping. You don't even need to kill anybody, just turn on your shield, poke a group of enemy infs, and then ask whycome the dainty dandies on the hill can't hit the big glowing target. I even got a tank too busy trying to hit me to not get bumfucked by a magrider. Zero certs, but that was the most fun I've had in a game in a long while.

I love how you can still have loads of fun in this game even without upgrading anything.

[QUOTE=kaine123;38484745]I love how you can still have loads of fun in this game even without upgrading anything.[/QUOTE] Have fun getting oneshot by grenades due to no flak jacket :v:

Oh my, grenades don't need to be certed. You can equip them anyways.

Wait seriously? They closed the beta without any cool beta ending event?

I can't even uninstall it (so I can install it from Steam) without getting an error code because it can't connect to the web servers or something like that.

[QUOTE=LittleDogX;38485319]I can't even uninstall it (so I can install it from Steam) without getting an error code because it can't connect to the web servers or something like that.[/QUOTE] you can just manually drag the folder to your recycle bin if you want.

[QUOTE=Raijin;38485327]you can just manually drag the folder to your recycle bin if you want.[/QUOTE] Of course, but I just find it stupid that you can't uninstall without a connection to their web servers apparently.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;38485284]Wait seriously? They closed the beta without any cool beta ending event?[/QUOTE] Would'a been nice if they gave everyone shitloads of certs.

It would have been cool if they got as many people as they could on one server and told them them to attack a single base (maybe a tech lab) and just let everyone go at it for a few hours or the server crashed. Would have been epic.

[QUOTE=SpasticPinoy;38485403]Would'a been nice if they gave everyone shitloads of certs.[/QUOTE] On thebe some dev sent out a message that he would write a script to give everyone unlimited certs and resources, but it would 20 minutes to make. The beta ended 15 minutes later.

Does anyone know where's the default install location for it?

Its a shame i didnt get to play the latest patch to see if there was much hope for a worthy release. I wonder what the release day patch will contain as well.
