[QUOTE=catbarf;30073142]Hey, how do I actually join The Increment?[/QUOTE]
Yeah i did /who and I couldn't search for the outfit.
Also my ingame name is Nallin
[QUOTE=Saber15;30069795]Well the Terran Republic on Earth and presumably the other colonies is basically an oligarchy with no freedom. The Vanu Sovereignty are a bunch of extreme technophiles and would presumably say "be a cyborg or die" if they "won" the war. The NC is the least evil I'd say.[/QUOTE]
It depends on how you perceive ideas like rebellion and cybernetics. I find open rebellion especially from trained soldiers, under those circumstances, to be reprehensible. When a crisis like that occurs is when people need to rely on each other the most. That may be thinking things over too much, but I like factions to have a moral gray area because it makes people more eager to pursue whatever ideal the faction stands for since one of them isn't blatantly evil

If we can't find anyone in the Increment to invite us we may have to start our own outfit. For now we should wait and just try to get a Facepunch squad going

Whisper me (Viper010 ingame) if you wanna group up
does trial accounts get this aswell?
like... years old trial accounts.
Yes, they do. PM Viper010 when you get in
Edit: I'm going to bed now so I won't be around to be messaged until tomorrow
will see if I can remember my old account later today... not sure though.
I hated playing TR... the three man vehicles are more often a liability than a strength, and the fact that most people can't effectively use flak AA makes the TR even weaker than they should be (despite the fact that flak is arguably the best AA... DPS is nuts)

I usually get torn up to bits whenever I go near TR positions in aircraft because their AA MAXes have such good aim and ridiculous DPS potential. The three man vehicles are great/better than other tanks for outfit players with teamspeak, but yeah for just people squadding up it's worse than two man vehicles generally.
Is there a level requirement on joining outfits? Because I can't seem to do it.
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;30078091]Is there a level requirement on joining outfits? Because I can't seem to do it.[/QUOTE]
Don't think so, but if there is it's probably at BR2. Just go to the virtual shooting areas and level up by trying out the junk.

I was in Terran Death Company for a while. We rolled Prowlers and Skyguards. I was usually gunning one of the 'guards but for the most part, I watched Prowlers get raped by the other empire's tanks.
I remember, back in beta, Prowlers had WAY more health and they were feared then. Now they're a joke, especially with BFRs on the field.
Is there a way to pass the "Enter a activation key" screen? Or did they just completely take down the trial?
I'm on now, add JPDower
I don't get an option to play it, at least it doesn't show it in my subscriptions. SWG has a 45 day plan pending, but no Planetside. Shame
[editline]27th May 2011[/editline]
nevermind, was logging in under the wrong name, I'm such a fucking retard. Once in-game I'll throw up some player details.
Wow, 3 megs a second
A few screenshots from way back when... A few of us were making drops and capturing outposts while the pilot took off, then landed to pick us up to take us to another one, and after a couple mini raids... well... we were war-torn

Nostalgia over the theme music.
One day later, still no code, still n "spare" account
:smith:
Kind of nice of SoE to do this for even trial accounts... It's one hell of a way to market and turn around a serious fuckup. Usually SoE is pretty horrible about Subs and shit. If word of this gets out then we'll see some major life put back into these games
[editline]27th May 2011[/editline]
Alright, In-game name is Phatalion, still trying to figure out how to play all over again
found one of my old accounts downloading now, also they are doing 45 free days for star wars galaxies for trials and past subscriptions, I'm gonna be playing both back and forth.
I can't seem to reset the password on any of my accounts.. how utterly disappointing.
I want to relive the old days, dammit!

Me neither, I had to use a recent account.
And it's doesn't work. Damn keys.

I rolled with Virtual Hitmen and our prowler columns absolutely decimated things. We also only used two people per tank because the DPS of the chain gun is terrible, if we had problems with infantry and we really had to handle it ourselves we usually just had some people call in Reavers. I'd say Prowlers are still my favorite tank
The Basilisk is [I]amazing.[/I]
You just have to get into the mindset that it's a portable machinegun turret and not a vehicle. Don't try driving about and shooting stuff- it never works. Sit on the frontline amongst the infantry and preferably on top of a small hill you can quicky back down to evade missiles and repair safely. Consider it a MG 42 strapped to your chest and you happen to move very fast while holding it.
Most effective hand-held weapon I've ever driven.
How the fuck do I join an outfit
[QUOTE=doommarine23;30084766]How the fuck do I join an outfit[/QUOTE]
I think you need to be invited, I'd like to join FP's The Increment too, sadly I haven't met anyone from there yet so I don't know who to ask for an invite.
So I guess the 'Next' beta didn't come out when they claimed it would. Was a new date ever set?
I'm totally in. Capgun2713-G is my name, could use an invite whenever.
There haven't been any invites for the Increment and I've been playing my old TR character. If you guys see MustangThePyro around try not to hit the face please
(which brings up a protip: there is only one hitbox on planetside and shooting the toes does as much damage as a faceshot)
DISREGARD THIS, I'm too low-rank to be able to invite anyone. Nice going.
The players of these characters report in:
[list]MedicmanFP
[*]CrazyFarmer
[*]TheRipperr
[*]01010
[*]JPDower, if you can invite people at your rank.[/list]
Brad, what's your character name? We should probably get a list of all of the players going
[editline]28th May 2011[/editline]
I find it hilarious that my two NC characters are Odysseus and Viper and I keep seeing other soldiers with variants of those names
My Character's name is simply "MrBRAD". Anyone can badger me anytime if I'm on. We can squad up at least even if I can't get you into the outfit. I'll give you the TS details too.
I think I'll just give out the outfit's private TS's details. It's not my position to make it public but screw that, it's what's holding us back. Hardly anybody else from there is coming online. Give it a second though, because some people are actually in TS now. I'll see if I can get promoted in the outfit.
[editline]28th May 2011[/editline]
Seems like nobody in the TS currently is actually a member of the outfit. What do, Hezzy?
Might have to make our own outfit, if we can just get 10 people together.
I say we hijack one of PC Gamer magazine's public Ventrilo server channels for now until we have something better.
[release]:siren: Get into the "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" channel on 75.102.27.133:8220 :siren:
[list]Bagel = TR
[*]Croissant = NC
[*]Scone = VS[/list][/release]
I think I am high enough rank in The Increment to invite people. PM JPDower in game and I'll get you in.
