Can someone give me a key for a friend of mine? Canada or US only, and I'm from Europe.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;37494619]Because instant action.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the gal (as well as the flash) may as well not be in the game with instant action there, too.

[QUOTE=ionuttzu;37494701]Can someone give me a key for a friend of mine? Canada or US only, and I'm from Europe.[/QUOTE] They give keys out to people on twitter a lot. Try there.

Instant action has a 25min fucking cooldown what are you talking about.

[QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;37494706]Yeah, the gal (as well as the flash) may as well not be in the game with instant action there, too.[/QUOTE] Gal is still very very useful as a spawn point. Flash on the other hand, yeah, pretty useless, although 25min cooldown on instant action doesn't make Flash absolutely pointless.

:suicide: you guys weren't kidding about optimization issues.

[QUOTE=Monkeytracks;37494884]They give keys out to people on twitter a lot. Try there.[/QUOTE] When I check they ain't giving out keys. For example, now.

[QUOTE=Fisk;37494908]Instant action has a 25min fucking cooldown what are you talking about.[/QUOTE] I actually like that. Makes transports more valuable instead of just dropping into battle each 5 minutes

[QUOTE=Contag;37492460]Free keys: [url]http://www.curse.com/betas/planetside-2-beta-key[/url][/QUOTE] Fuck yes I love you. I got a key.

I am so excited for this!

The reason the TR have issues with advancing onto the north is due to that 1 outpost in between the hills. You can't spawn vehicles at it and everyone is too dumb to get any from a base back to defend it. [editline]1st September 2012[/editline] Also, where does PS2 save his videos?

[QUOTE=RichyZ;37494980]damn, as much as i love tr, im prolly gonna stick with nc, their weapons are just objectively better[/QUOTE] How so? I wanted to go NC, since I like their AK-style weapon, but it doesn't feel right. I think faster firing is more useful with all the jumping around. The only problem I have is vs NC Gauss SAW, that motherfucking rifle is painful.

I'm guessing the MAX certifications aren't in yet? They all just say locked and require 999999999999 orange points (polymers?)

I created my character, I'm NC on west 01. Handle is "Joshjet" Anyways, how do you change your settings? My game is at the wrong resolution. [editline]1st September 2012[/editline] Nevermind, found it.

What is latency like for people in Australia? So I can estimate what mine will be like living in the barbaric lands(South Africa)...

Look what i found on reddit: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XRddd.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YhoH4.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fKNkL.png[/IMG] The album: [URL="http://imgur.com/a/7hrno"]http://imgur.com/a/7hrno[/URL] Gotta love bigoted clans.

[QUOTE=Noahi;37495360]What is latency like for people in Australia? So I can estimate what mine will be like living in the barbaric lands(South Africa)...[/QUOTE] As far as I'm aware, they use a client-side hit detection. So the latency doesn't play too large a part. It's been good so far for me. From Australia by the way.

I hope SOE didn't know about all that...

Wow that's pretty sad. I thought the Enclave was a really respectable outfit. Their leader, atleast, brings them shame.

[QUOTE=Fisk;37494590]AA missiles are just BS, 100C for flares? What the fuck.[/QUOTE] Agreed. I very rarely ragequit but today, fuck. Flying around, using manual fucking aim killing a fucking asshole Mosquito with A2A Missiles, fucking FINALLY got him after we had a super intense dogfight and then another TR bullshit asshole Mosquito comes with MISSILES! Beep beep beep, he didn't even chase me. Just fired away, then poof, he's gone. I died. SO FUN, fuck that shit. I love flying, but fuck that. Unfair and fucking stupid. If anything, lower the cost to what 5-10 certs. You get the feeling for the game, and you'll have enough certs at that point if you want to fly. [QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;37494557]WHY DOES NO ONE COOPERATE? NO ONE GETS INTO GALAXIES![/QUOTE] I see plenty of loaded galaxies all the time. :s [editline]1st September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=RichyZ;37495627]vs weapons reward being a dumb babby bitch[/QUOTE] I wish. Right now the weapons have ridiculous recoil comparable to running with a LMG in BF3 and spraying hip fire. Edit: Think I'll try NC and TR weapons today.

I found NC weapons aren't that much better in accuracy, so I chose TR. I thought of giving NC a 2nd try but I dunno. It just seems to be who's better overall, weapons don't play that much of a role. What I want to know though is if there's gonna be any mods for weapons, so I could get TR weapons closer to NC style. I'm starting to like TR more, except that Vanguard, I'm still in love with him :<

Okay, I just spent 5 minutes on TR and NC testing the weapons. The recoil on TR and NC seem to be almost exactly the same. Vanu has a lot less recoil, although for some reason the gun "jumps" on my crosshair while playing. Could be a bug I guess. The recoil on NC and TR is VERY easy to control, though. Takes a tad more effort than Vanu, but nothing major. One thing I dislike across all factions is the spread, though. Same issue as Battlefield. :( You shoot, the weapon is straight, then suddenly the shots are all over the crosshair position, even though you keep managing the recoil. I know it's a mechanic, but argh. D:

Thank you so much for linking that Curse gaming give away. Are the testings still at set times?

Reavers are the goddamn bane of my existence. Every time I hop in a Mosquito it doesn't take long for some Reaver to get on my tail and gun me down, to kill something in a Mosquito it takes almost a full magazine while the Reavers seem like they take me down in 10-15 shots. Like I said earlier, I am not too good as a pilot, not terrible, but not awesome either and not all certifications are in for Mosquitoes yet, but the Reaver just seems to outright outclass any other fighter. It has the most armour, hits the hardest, has the same maneuverability as the Mosquito (for now, this is supposedly going to change in the future) and has afterburners that would make God cry in jealousy. Don't even get me started on A2A missile systems. While they're not fire and forget, it doesn't take much for a semi-decent pilot to keep you in his view for the 2-3 seconds it takes for the missile to hit, and even with afterburner fuel certed all the way it's impossible to stay above the 250 km/h that's required to outrun it until the missile runs out of fuel. Not to mention that it can do hairpin turns despite its high speed. TL;DR: I'm terrible at piloting, and I blame the systems of the game. Edit: This wasn't even a response to the above video, but it's quite good timing, innit?
