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

[QUOTE=Zeos;38603476]There was months of beta testing. This game is hardly even release worthy. It's buggy, unoptimized and crashes constantly. Of course no game is going to be perfect, but some things are just flat out broken.[/QUOTE] Doesn't crash for me, runs fine maxed and the only significant problem I find is the lag at peak times. All in all, its a lot smoother than I thought it was going to be.

So I'm wondering. Why do so many people hate the Vanu? The only reasons I've gathered is that they're purple and have cool laser shooties. What am I missing?

They're just jelly of the magrider and scythe

I can't believe people complain about NC weapons on the forums, I'm amazing with the Guass gun, love it.

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;38601280]What did you change?[/QUOTE]Mostly this. [code][Rendering] GraphicsQuality=1 TextureQuality=3 ShadowQuality=0 RenderDistance=600 Gamma=0.000000 MaximumFPS=1000 UseLod0a=0 OverallQuality=-1 LightingQuality=0 EffectsQuality=0 TerrainQuality=0 FloraQuality=0 ModelQuality=0 VerticalFOV=74 ParticleLOD=0 ParticleDistanceScale=0.650000 FogShadowsEnable=0 MotionBlur=0 VSync=0[/code]

The only NC weapon I don't like is the default LMG, it doesn't seem to have any real range. Though the medic's assault rifle is just some crazy shit.

Being red-green colorblind, I can not play this game. at least understand the map correctly.

God, why does this game patch so fucking slowly? A ~60mb update is downloading at like 2kb/s yet it is taking up [I]ALL[/I] my bandwidth.

[QUOTE=Glitchman;38603661]Being red-green colorblind, I can not play this game. at least understand the map correctly.[/QUOTE] I'm doing pretty fine. Donno what you have troubles with

Is it just me, or does nobody use voice?

[QUOTE=Techbot;38599945]I can't breathe, I think two of my passengers liked each other way too much. [sp]well there were two before I recorded.[/sp] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk8-tcCDL7A[/media] also is there a way to improve the quality of the ingame recorder? It was much better in Beta. [editline]26th November 2012[/editline] Even Youtube thinks it's to shaky.[/QUOTE] That's quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen in this game so far.

[QUOTE=Suitcase;38604034]Is it just me, or does nobody use voice?[/QUOTE] I haven't heard anyone use voice since beta either, I'm getting the suspicion that I have it disabled somehow...

So my only friend on Lithcorp TR abandoned me, what do?

If Lithcorp is US east or Europe then I'll join you c:

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;38603031]What happened after that?[/QUOTE] shot one of them to death, died and then got revived 5-6 times constantly before finally getting the base [editline]26th November 2012[/editline] is there anyone from FP on the Cobalt server? [editline]26th November 2012[/editline] map control seems to yo-yo from total NC (like I posted) to 1/2 terran 1/2 vanu

It's europe [editline]26th November 2012[/editline] He wants me to play vanu on woodman, anyone else there?

where all the west coast bros? I don't really have two much ranks on mine to try out yours

There was a guy named ShazMyBot and I tried to invite him to my outfit but he declined There's my tragic Planetside story

circling above the battlefield as the Dalton gunner of a Liberator shooting the shit out of everything marked by a red icon and providing ground support while a buddy down there goes building-to-building and spots targets while kicking enemy posterior really makes me feel like a crewman in that one over-popular gunship aircraft featured in every modern shooter since CoD4, just needs the b/w IR screen i think my kills during that one 10-minute raid topped my total Beta killcount; if not quite, then almost and that satisfying feel when you finally pinpoint the hiding spot of that pathetic enemy camper sniping into your spawn, spot him and then see your team's tanks take aim and slam heavy artillery in that faggio's face

We should probably set up a list on the main page to have a quick reference where most people are. Oh and don't be afraid to leave your time zone, the lag is hardly noticeable. If you're West coast, East should be fine, probably not EU though. EU connects fine to East. Sorry Australia.

They really oughta turn off friendly fire. I die more to my teammates than to the enemies.

bored of owning as NC on cobalt now, only problem is I have 80ish certs there so can you move characters or something

Fucking fuck Miller died again

I enjoy bringing out my Lightning and its ridiculously rapid firing cannon into battle, because it makes me feel happy inside knowing that somewhere, some unfortunate lone infantry trooper is about to have a bad day. Cue six shells of glory straight into the bastard's cakehole.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;38604330]where all the west coast bros? I don't really have two much ranks on mine to try out yours[/QUOTE] i'm playing NC on connery, mostly so i can stalk the shacktac players

[QUOTE=WarRage333;38603879]I'm doing pretty fine. Donno what you have troubles with[/QUOTE] The blue and purple on the territory map look exactly the same to me.

[QUOTE=Pandamox;38603081]"999999.000000" is what the draw distance is set to in my .ini file. there's no excuse for shit which should have been fixed in beta like this, the game was hardly ready for release when a majority of the beta players point out these problems yet they don't bother fixing them. the draw distance is complete ass, as i said it "dynamically changes" (which is why that value is so fucking stupid in the .ini file) to accommodate for performance, yet it doesn't actually bother seeing if your computer could actually handle that amount of players on screen. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXtbDK6h0kI[/media] a good example of draw distance being "dynamically changed" to an incredibly short distance because there's an excess of players in an area.[/QUOTE] Game works so smooth on your pc, specs?

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;38604443]They really oughta turn off friendly fire. I die more to my teammates than to the enemies.[/QUOTE] Hell no, the point of friendly fire is to force people to be more careful, more tactical. How easy would it be to take a base if a couple dozen people ran in guns blazing. The attackers could fire in every which way, not worry about hitting teammates, while the defenders struggle to get a bead on one person. Splash damage without friendly fire would let armor/aircraft dominate even more then they do already.

I got a friendly fire warning for a plane flying into my jeep.

I got charged with a teamkill for a lightning driving into the back of my tank at full speed. A sunderer also warped inside my tank once, and it counted as a teamkill too.
