[QUOTE=maqzek;37483209]What software did you use? I'm barely getting 35-40 fps so I fear that recording will just make it less enjoyable to play.[/QUOTE] Use Dxtory.

is it just me or does the launcher suck balls was taking up 500 Mb of ram and patching extremely slow

Does anyone have a spare beta key :c

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;37486637]is it just me or does the launcher suck balls was taking up 500 Mb of ram and patching extremely slow[/QUOTE] For some reason it's downloading all 4GB again even if my folder is about 8GB.

is there a guide somewhere? how do i get missile pods or something? and is there a way to select a different spawn location other than the 1 it gives you or the home base?

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;37487304]is there a guide somewhere? how do i get missile pods or something? and is there a way to select a different spawn location other than the 1 it gives you or the home base?[/QUOTE] From what I know, missile pods or AA missiles must be bought using Aux... something (the blue stuff) in the store, you can also buy quite a few other vehicle equipment there. It seems to also work with Station cash, but that's not implemented yet [editline]afwa[/editline] The spawns also depend on the proximity of your death, if there's other nearby bases or galaxies deployed, you can spawn there as well. Spawn beacons also work [editline]whee[/editline] In other news, I've discovered the merits of galaxy deployment.

You got to birth 20 spawns in your gal to be worth one basic kills worth of exp.

Guys, I applied for the Beta way back, I can't even remember when. It's been so long and I still haven't received any email regarding whether or not I'll be accepted into the Beta. Anything I can do to help boost my chances of getting in?

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;37488155]Cool that the NDA is lifted now. I also can't seem to find a complete list of patch notes for the latest updates. (If there is one) The one posted in the beta forums mentions none of the more minor changes. Like them fixing the shield effect on the biodomes and switching some stuff around.[/QUOTE] They don't exist.

Now you've got to suck some twittercunts dick and hope for the best.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;37488202](If you play on West 01 regularly and have heard (seen) a lot of complaints regularly coming from one particular person...

I hope you're not like this in real life. :v: Were you not complaining last week that things "were moving too fast", now you want things to move even faster?

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37488164]Yeah, if you paid mild attention to the beta access within the last couple months I'm sure you would have been in. Now you've got to suck some twittercunts dick and hope for the best.[/QUOTE] I've been indisposed these last couple of months, in a frenzy talking to universities and all that jazz. Haven't really been able to keep track of PS2 as I haven't been gaming terribly much, nor have I been at my computer lately. This summer has been real busy. So, about sucking dick, who's dick is it and when can I start sucking?

Man, I need a way to improve my performance aside from buying new RAM. At least until my next paycheck. Any ideas guys?

[QUOTE=Boyblunder;37488294]Man, I need a way to improve my performance aside from buying new RAM. At least until my next paycheck. Any ideas guys?[/QUOTE] Currently the best performance per buck would be CPU and SSD related.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37488320]Currently the best performance per buck would be CPU and SSD related.[/QUOTE] Ah, an SSD has been on my list of intended purchases for a while, anyway. In the meantime, any client-side tweaks or am I basically restricted to "spend some money?"

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;37488319]First off, i'm not. I don't really know what it is... I just seem to notice and point out the negative stuff/ stuff that needs fixing the majority of the time rather than talk about how awesome a lot of the stuff in the game is. Second, for me the issue with the teleporters has nothing to do with how fast things are in the game and i'm not suggesting that they should make anything 'faster.' It's just an awful mechanic in my opinion especially in the biodomes right now. (But yes I am aware that the biolab is still a bit broken at this point right now (according to the devs)) People tend to crowd around that single point as the enemy funnels through and it creates a lot of problems when idiots run in front of people firing their weapons; Then those idiots firing the gun will occasionally get their weapons locked. (I know it's happened to multiple people) Thankfully, fairly recently, people have gotten more creative. Now, attackers go for the landing pads and tend to drop their pods on top of the dome and make their way down the side to get in. I haven't really seen anyone go through the sattelite teleporters more than a few times though.[/QUOTE] And no, you are not this great critic you think you are. You're awfully tedious and pedantic. For a case point, you just splerged a load about the biolab teleporters. Arguable the oldest and most tired complaint in the entire game. But why are you even talking about teleporters? I mentioned nothing about them. You were going on about the NDA being lifted.

But you post multiple times about how awesome you are at deciding what needs fixing and improving, when all your related posts are rather underwhelming.

calm down guys or ill deploy my galaxy in both of your anuses. [IMG]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-madmax.gif[/IMG]

The game seems to be running better! I get great FPS in calm areas and 30 fps around battles it seems.

Can anyone tell me the differences between factions? I tried finding information but it is surprisingly scarce.

[QUOTE=H4yd3n;37488802]Can anyone tell me the differences between factions? I tried finding information but it is surprisingly scarce.[/QUOTE] As in gameplay-affecting differences or lore differences?

Gameplay foremost, I'm sure the lore won't be too difficult to find on my own, especially if it relates to planetside 1 in anyway

God damn the TR are underpowered, the mosquito, for example, gets so much less power than the NC and TR fighters. I mean, they get lock on, and flares aren't default? HOW DOES THAT FUCKING MAKE SENSE?

Is it me or does fighting never move across the north/south border. I always seem to get stuck on those stupid shore hills or within line of sight of them.

after about 1 hour of feeding TR maxes, we officially took the Westpoint Highlands for the NC

[QUOTE=loopoo;37488267] So, about sucking dick, who's dick is it and when can I start sucking?[/QUOTE] I've sucked mad twitter dick to try to get into this beta. No dice. I had to make an account for twitter and everything :v: But seriously, this game is everything I've wanted in a shooter. A persistent map where you can win or lose sectors, all out combat with air/armor/infantry. Fuck. These twitter bros are assholes.

Shit, guess we're just outta luck. Best of luck Masamune in getting a place in the Beta. I doubt I will, which sucks. Ah well.
