[QUOTE=Turing;37589218]um how do I get more auraxium ive been playing for like 5 hours and idling for like 20 and I have 1095 all the cheapass weapons cost over 7000 (most)[/QUOTE] Go to the active zones fighting over Araxium, idle. I think I got around 1.5K in about ~5 hours two days ago. And we're on the same server and faction.

I easily get 4000+ if i idle for like 5 hours. (PS: Capping points in Araxium zones gives you araxium ;) )

[QUOTE=norzone;37589386]I easily get 4000+ if i idle for like 5 hours. (PS: Capping points in Araxium zones gives you araxium ;) )[/QUOTE] You must be NC. Capping, killing, repairing all give points, what you get depends on what zone you're in. In Araxium zones you get Araxium, in Polymer zones you get Polymers and so on. Repairing gives 1 Resource every 3-4 seconds. Capping gives 8 total for neutralizing and converting. Killing gives 4 too I think.

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37589441]You must be NC.[/QUOTE] Yep. I don't mind that my team is filled with people who have less than 80IQ as long as i get the resources i need to unlock stuff. That and i only ever play with my facepunch bros.

So I guess nobody got a key from IGN then?

Hopefully they add in an aircraft with vehicle lifting capabilities.

[QUOTE=Mindfuck 2;37589498]So I guess nobody got a key from IGN then?[/QUOTE] IGN ran out within minutes. Then alienware came and did the same thing.

Is anyone else getting disconnected from the game randomly?

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37589642]Is anyone else getting disconnected from the game randomly?[/QUOTE] Looks like EU1 just went down. It's up again, definitely was the server.

server just went down. Everyone on my teamspeak just dropped. [editline]8th September 2012[/editline] I've been playing the NC all morning. Did their weapons get a buff because they're pretty awesome. I feel like you can take down max units much quicker with the LMG than the other two factions.

um how do I know what are auraxium zones

[QUOTE=zombojoe;37587049]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.[/QUOTE] You can do that now as of the latest patch (spawn at all spawnpoints in an adjacent to your territory). 99% of the time, unless you are really far away from your home territory, theres going to be some reasonably close by vehicle/airpads you can spawn at. [editline]8th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Daniellynet;37587295]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] 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.[/QUOTE] I've never had problems landing. Tap ctrl+space to alter your verticle lift. The best thing to do actually is that once you are a meter or two off the ground, simply jump out. Your scythe should surive since it isn't going to be a far enough fall to deal any real damage.

[QUOTE=Turing;37589824]um how do I know what are auraxium zones[/QUOTE] You can check on the map. But also, auraxium zones are the facilities. Each faction starts with 2.

[QUOTE=KorJax;37589838] The best thing to do actually is that once you are a meter or two off the ground, simply jump out. Your scythe should surive since it isn't going to be a far enough fall to deal any real damage.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I can actually fly somewhat fast, bail out and have it take no damage. The flashing screen and loud metal clang must be because I'm touching down extremely slowly on the ground.

[QUOTE=gregmasterx;37588205]So if I want to join any of the FP outfits, i first have to to add myself to "LONER PEOPLE"?[/QUOTE] No just PM the leaders You have to be on at the same time as the leader in order to actually get the invite, which is annoying

Seeing there's possibly a wipe coming along soon, we all might want to try getting on the same server / faction, but the problem there is probably preference. I for example really don't like the idea of playing as Vanu, I don't like their weapon style all that much. We're all kinda spread out over all the factions. But everyone playing together would be pretty awesome.

I feel so stupid, apparently I've had access to beta for like a month and a half and didn't know it.... I guess I was expecting to get an email or something.

I like the TR HA,the NC infiltrator, vanguard and reaver and the vanu 'style' and magrider.

vanu is literally the only choice we're almost like part fuckin alien move aside

I just made a poll, might make this easier. [url=http://www.polljunkie.com/7SwAnA/Poll18626.aspx]Link[/url] Personally I'll play whatever faction, just aslong as we come to an agreement.

I really got to get used to the controls for aircraft. I keep trying to pitch back in a roll by pressing S, and end up just slowing down to a crawl in midair. I had a Scythe on my ass in one encounter, and he flew straight into me.

[QUOTE=Mr Flexi;37586700]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] What server are you playing on? Most of the population is in West 01, East 01 and EU 01 In these you can find a battle on pretty much any part of the frontline.

Any tips for getting a beta key now? PS2's Twitter doesn't give them out anymore, and the only place I can find that gives beta keys is the Alpha Squad. I don't feel like spending 40 bucks right now since Borderlands 2 is coming out so soon.

It makes it extremely difficult to actually find a large grouping of team mates on the map, as I tend to go where a lot of my team mates are. The hot spot markers don't really help much either.

As much as I love this game, it's very frustrating at times, especially when trying to play with a friend. Does anyone know if there will a squad spawning system, where you can spawn on squad leaders and squad leaders can spawn on any squad member, or something similar?
