A patch for one of the big NC outfits, the [url=http://www.planetside-devildogs.com/]666th Devil Dogs[/url]: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/eANN8.png[/IMG] :v:

Hey guys, remember this? [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD3k1AoGZvE[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6IyZGzip1M[/url] I got permanently banned for this. With the reason griefing, citing me playing music at spawn. Just a warning for anyone else that would attempt this.

Outrage

no fun allowed

Anyone else think they should completely change the VS sniper to a more 'charge up' style shooting. zmmmmmmmmm PEW

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37664587]Anyone else think they should completely change the VS sniper to a more 'charge up' style shooting. zmmmmmmmmm PEW[/QUOTE]maybe give it the same amount of damage as a bolt action, but make it semi automatic? actually I hate zooming out after shooting to reload, I'd love this

Maybe something like how long you charge it depends how powerful it is. You can zm PEW zm PEW zm PEW for maybe a little less damage than the TR, and charge it up to be able to get one shot head shots.

how can I get attachements

[QUOTE=Mastahamma;37664987]maybe give it the same amount of damage as a bolt action, but make it semi automatic? actually I hate zooming out after shooting to reload, I'd love this[/QUOTE] you know, i'd like it to have no scope sway but 5 rounds per mag or something.

[QUOTE=JoonazL;37665185]how can I get attachements[/QUOTE] Purchase an attachment in the certifications menu and then equip it in the loadout screen

Does anyone have a beta key i could please use?

[QUOTE=kill3r;37666336]Does anyone have a beta key i could please use?[/QUOTE] I'll PM you, my good sir.

I'll try my luck here, I tried my luck on twitter a bunch of times now with no success.. Anyone got any keys they could spare?

I thought of it as an extension of the community, something people could laugh about before they loaded up and hit the next base.

This game is goddamn hard and gives you no directions at all. Have been using the heavy assault for a while and rockets doesn't hurt players or something? I swear I shot two missles to somebody's feet and didn't kill him. From what I understood there are control points around which are displayed on the hud but enemies aren't and makes it all so confusing. Tips for a new player?

They [I]do[/I] have splash damage, but the only way to get a one-hit-kill with them is to hit the enemy directly.

How do you uh, get auraxis legitimately? It seems no matter what I do it accumulates very slowly and I don't want to get banned for idling.

Earn EXP in aux regions. You can earn like 5k a day of standard playing.

Just got an extra key in my email First one to pm me gets it. Gone

I like the infiltrator. Something about uncloaking behind people and shooting the shit outta' them with my rifle is appealing to me.

Anyone know where the default PS2 install location is? Can't seem to find it. Nevermind, found it. That's a strange place to default the install location to.

[QUOTE=fishyfish777;37667691]How do you uh, get auraxis legitimately? It seems no matter what I do it accumulates very slowly and I don't want to get banned for idling.[/QUOTE] wait, you get banned for idling now? what's next banned for doing stunts with the mosquito?

[QUOTE=Techbot;37668308]wait, you get banned for idling now?[/QUOTE] No you don't.

I hope not because think about hearing the phone ring or needing the toilet and it turns into being a tricky shit. You could quickly run to do that task and end up being gone for ages. They say Hey he is idling ban him now. Or any other situation.

umm idling bans are silly, everyone who isn't silly implements an idler-kicking system

Just got into the beta, what class should be the best for someone new to the planetside games?

[QUOTE=Fusnax;37668743]Just got into the beta, what class should be the best for someone new to the planetside games?[/QUOTE] the one that is the most beneficial to your squad. is your galaxy taking a shit-ton of fire and it's grounded? technician it up and repair it. your guys getting owned? be a medic. need to take out some tanks? heavy assault. honestly to me the infiltrator, max and light assault classes are left to scrubs because there is no reason or rhyme why they are of any use at all (unless you need light assault to fish out enemy positions with your jetpack) when you are in a team-tactical environment. the max is only useful to take enemy fire and to fight other enemy max units. a few guns can drop an enemy max easily so long as a medic is about. if you're an infiltrator trying to lone-wolf it and you're wasting up a useful squad position then you're an asshole [editline]14th September 2012[/editline] planetside was great for the real requirement to be a team player. in planetside 2 it's a little bit more lax because if you want to lone wolf it then you can and if you want to be in a squad then you can, but most of the people that play in squads are expecting to take the game more seriously than a lone-wolf i hate how you can get so many amounts of certs too. you can just tell that planetside 2 is trying to push towards the "one man army" vibe because you can multi-role your characters like no other. i loved how in planetside 1 you pretty much had a super limited amount of certs, so you would have a character designated as a gal pilot and a character designated as a support specialist and so on and so forth. it REALLY pushed a team-tactical feel (plus you could renew your certs and put them elsewhere if you needed to) and planetside 2 is like "oh if you want to play solo then go ahead because nobody cares" (but they do care. griefers are passable but nothing makes me rage harder than seeing a bunch of guys standing around and being useless). oh, and gun mods. wtf. that's cool and all but those shouldn't require certifications. i shouldn't need to be certified to use an aimpoint

Infiltrator would be alright if: Objectives that benefit the team could be taken, IE, Power Generators to knock out Equipment or vehicle terminals at the base. Cloak actually worked. I can see cloaked infiltrators in the distance, ESPECIALLY at night, easier than I can see uncloaked. A cloaked Vanu at night stands out more than an uncloaked Vanu They had more mines to throw down/could use enemy equipment terminals to rearm As it stands now, Infiltrator should just be renamed Sniper/Recon I also think MAX units should be purchased at vehicle terminals, or at the very least purchased at equipment terminals, on a 5 minute cooldown. I know we're supposed to get a Cooldown at least but it can't come soon enough These two things worked well the way they were in Planetside 1, there was no need to really change them like this, IMO. I want to be able to fly in a cloaked ship or fury, dismount, slowly move around enemy lines cloaked and harass the enemy's assets, not play like the TF2 spy

[QUOTE=TheTalon;37669121]not play like the TF2 spy[/QUOTE] Exactly this. Have you seen some of the certs they've yet to unlock? Infinite cloak while standing still is very TF2. (Although it comes at the price of your main weapon.)
