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

[QUOTE=sycoraz;37585355]If i were to buy a SSD, what would i expect performance-wise from planetside 2?[/QUOTE] How much RAM do you have? If you've got more than 8 gig, you should chuck it on a ramdisc

[QUOTE=Contag;37585176]almost better to use A2G missiles[/QUOTE] You might as well, They pretty much took dedicated A2A pilots and said fuck the lot of you. Now you NEED a swarm of jets to get anything done. I liked the Jets before, sure A2A needed the ability to actually miss once in a while, but I felt like I was depriving the enemy of resources and tactical avenues by swatting their planes out of the sky. I felt like I was making a difference for the folks on the ground in being as powerful as I was. now it just feel like they clipped my wings and tied lead weight around me.

How would I say... unlock more jumpjet stuff on light assault?

[QUOTE=qwerty000;37584987]Holy fuck the SOE site. I can't fucking login, apparently I need to "reset my password" but the form doesn't fucking work, It just refreshes the page without doing anything after I enter new password. I tried to reset my password the more conventional enter-your-username-have-it-emailed-to-you way, and the form doesn't work too. I tried to reset my username, the form didn't work. Then I tried to create a new fucking account and guess what? It doesn't work for SHIT. It just asks me to login every time I do anything.[/QUOTE] Clear your cookies. Once I did that I was able to log in no problem. I bought my way into the beta, enjoying it so far.

My platoon was defending an NC base and holding against vanu and tr from both sides. We were getting destroyed by a galaxy that was spawning infantry. Some of us we getting read to destroy it with a liberator but I took the initiative and flew a reaver right into it BOOOM SUCK IT VANU SUCK IT

How big is Planetside 2? I heard it was 9 gig.

[QUOTE=Hellohmhello;37586150]How big is Planetside 2? I heard it was 9 gig.[/QUOTE] A bit over 4 GB. Anyone have any tips about the game for for me when this finishes downloading? Just got a key.

[QUOTE=Hellohmhello;37586150]How big is Planetside 2? I heard it was 9 gig.[/QUOTE] Download is about 4 gig, ends up at 7.6 on mine at the moment

Just got into beta today. This game is amazing.

Oh what the hell, Vanu Max suits are nuts, I was rolling with my friend, both NC Max suits with two scatterguns, we do a face to face with this Vanu Max Suit and he killed my friend and got me down to 20% before I killed him. I then went 2 Grenade Launchers, found this magrider, flanked it and got a good 18 grenades in it and when it killed me it was at 100% still, so what the hell.

Also, no overnight servers this weekend. Damn.

which weapon should i get for the flash for anti-vehicle duty. Theres a 40mm nade launcher but is it actuallly better than the turrets, because in ps2 turrets do significant damage to vehicles.

Was in a liberator as TR on US East 03 for a while. We were absolutely raping enemy ground forces until a mosquito dive bombed into the side of our liberator at max speed, causing us to immediately explode. The griefing is getting pretty dumb, damn.

I can't launch, can anyone else get in?

[QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;37586664]I can't launch, can anyone else get in?[/QUOTE] Servers are down for the night.

This game is pretty awesome. I was in this huge Terran charge on the Crown with like 50 other guys. Battlefield wishes it had this kind of scale.

[QUOTE=-Chief-;37586691]This game is pretty awesome. I was in this huge Terran charge on the Crown with like 50 other guys. Battlefield wishes it had this kind of scale.[/QUOTE] Right now, I'm glad Battlefield doesn't have this scale. It's honestly too large for the amount of players it has playing. People are too split up. Though, admittedly it might get better once it's released and given some time so people form teams and groups. Until then though, it feels too aimless.

[QUOTE=Hinterlight;37586669]Servers are down for the night.[/QUOTE] Up in 45 minutes, or not? It's strange, though, normally I can launch the game, it just says "servers offline."

I would honestly love it if it were even larger. The biggest problem right now imo is you don't have the luxury of picking exactly where you want to spawn. Right now as far as bases go you can only spawn in bases that are near the action. What if you want to spawn a little bit farther back from the action so you can pick up a tank or an airplane instead of having to spawn at the warp gate and drive all the way to the front.

I remember reading a while ago that it was possible to turn off FXAA or something that gives the game a kind of blurry look. Anyone remember that and how to do it?

[QUOTE=zombojoe;37587049]What if you want to spawn a little bit farther back from the action so you can pick up a tank or an airplane instead of having to spawn at the warp gate and drive all the way to the front.[/QUOTE] As of yesterday's patch they made it so you can do exactly that.

[QUOTE=blazingfly;37582645]The scythe cannon seems pretty hard to aim because the bullets only go near the crosshair at quite a large distance. Close up, the bullets seem to fire below it, meaning you have to lead the target, adjust for their direction, speed, and also the fact that the bullets fire below the crosshair.[/QUOTE] It's hard at first, but later on when you get used to it, it gets a lot easier. Like 7 NC soliders tried to kill me yesterday, managed to kill 5 of them before I had to flee since I was about to get blown up, and then I got disconnected. :( [editline]8th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=goon165;37583738] [B]and apparently TAPPING the launch pads to hard makes the entire plane explode.[/B][/QUOTE] I haven't had a safe landing yet with my scythe after the patch. Before the patch every single landing was without me causing damage to my aircraft, now, no matter what, even at the absolute slowest speed my aircraft will still take miniscule damage upon landing.

IMO the scythe is a bit OP in that it's hitbox from behind is a lot smaller than the other fighters.

So i skipped about 15 pages in this thread, anyone care to update me?

Land a Galaxy on a Bio-Dome you are barely holding and holy shit do you get the points wracked up. I feel kind of bad though, after about 10 minutes of the Galaxy setup there, the landing pad I landed on got rushed by a shit load of MAX and Heavy units, so the Galaxy was getting beaten up to hell. I had to fly it the fuck out of there, so I yelled over VOIP, "Everyone get the fuck in, [B]WE ARE LEAVING![/B]" and mobilized it and flew out. My friend was one of the players whom were running towards the Galaxy before I took off, and he said those who were left behind rather jumped off the pad to suicide or were shot in the back running for my Galaxy. Wasn't until a guy in my Galaxy said "You could of [I]fucking[/I] waited for them bro" did I start feeling pretty terrible about leaving them behind.

My old laptop let me play at like 20-30fps on all low, no AA etc, with my new laptop I can max it out at 1080p with a silky slick 50-70fps, I'm now loving this game.

[QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;37587411]IMO the scythe is a bit OP in that it's hitbox from behind is a lot smaller than the other fighters.[/QUOTE] However, isn't the Scythe the slowest aircraft? 200 top speed by default, while the mosquito has 240? Dunno, someone tell me. Just saying what I got from the forums.

You could've recorded that, add music, some slow motion of people running towards the Galaxy and getting shot at etc. Would make a pretty sad scene. :( Gal:WE'RE LEAVING, Sld:WAIT FOR ME. *Galaxy engines firing up* *wuuuush* Sld:NOOOOO! DON'T LEAVE ME AROUND HERE, I GOT A WIFE AND TWO KIDS! *gets shot in the back* Argh. Wait for me..... I don't want to leave my family behind. *slowly dies while the galaxy takes off with the pilot shedding some tears since he heard it all* *Camera goes back to the slowly dying solider who is now surrounded by soldiers* *The soldier gets shot in the legs and arms so the enemy soldier could get a quick kick out of torturing him, then they finish it off. *camera pans to the guy you left behind, zooms in on his head. We see him crying, begging for mercy with his last breath, and then boom. He's dead*
