*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

At least this way (if you need two players), it's not attack based XP, but time based XP, so you can still gain skills if you play with one player more than another.

What's the name of the OcUK clan btw? MoX ? Do we have a thread for it?
 
I get a 120-130ms ping from Scotland on Sky BB, which is certainly playable.

Biggest annoyance it when trying to avoid incoming fire & you think you got behind the wall / out the doorway in time...

...only to die very soon afterwards because you were still visible on the screen of the person firing at you.

Gotta love client-side hit detection.

yeah... sounds hacktastic to me lol. But I'm sure it always - annoyingly -worked that way :-(

Btw.. I think I just remembered why I stopped playing all those years ago. PS kept crashing on me randomly and nothing I did could solve it, so I think I gave up and started playing something else. BTW.. it seems odd they bailed out to the EAST coast servers. Surely, it would have been better for everyone (on average) to put it west coast, so europe would have got a better rate as well.

I'm fairly sure it was OcUK, when Gooner, VaderDSL, LinkZ, etc...were involved in it iirc.

No idea if anyone's still in it though, or if there is another one now.
 
Linkz, EasyG and VortecOCUK and Ross are current Dons that have been on recently and can invite people.

I (iamgud) have been playing recently but am waiting to see them again so I can get promoted and start inviting people.

Seen Robofish online as well who is an ex OCUK player but can't invite him. :(

ROFL... can't believe how unbelievable dumb I just have been.. ESPECIALLY since why wife is from the east coast :o LMAO x100. For some reason I had california in my head :confused: Bizarre. Ok.. now we've established that I'm stupid... let's continue :D

No surprise, my user name is speedycougar in planetside :-) Invite me, I'm about to go online :-)
 
Not sure if I want to leave Soul Reapers for an OcUK outfit, haha. But it would also be nice to play with a bunch of active people, in an active outfit/squad for a change... get's tiring when you're one of 5 people online... you can't get stuff done.

That being said though, we do usually squad up with pretty much every other relatively inactive outfit and we get something going!

Hmm... tempted!
 
Seen LinkZ online last night I think.

Never realised that EasyG had started playing again. Was he the mad geordie lad ?

Didn't think Ross used his TR char anymore. Enjoyed his JH too much.

Jumped on tonight as NC. Was good fun, once I remembered how things work again. Have to work out the cert stuff as I was surprised I couldn't have scatter max/sparrow max even though I could be a falcon max hmm...
 
ROFL. Gotta love the 'friendly' animosity :-) lol.

Originally, I don't believe you could have different factions on the same server on the same account (to prevent spying). Now that there is only one server, can you have one that one faction on your account?
 
More news, from mmosite (originally from Planetside-Universe I think).

http://news.mmosite.com/content/2011-07-13/new_planetside2_qa_focuses_on_more_details.shtml

Last week SOE announced PlanetSide 2 and released an official Q&A at the official site, highlighting the key features of the persistent MMOFPS. Now PlanetSide 2 fansite PSU released a new Q&A which includes more details about the gameplay.

Some of the core gameplay systems may interest most of you. You can learn new skills through training, and you can train your characters offline. However you can only train the skills that are available in your battle rank, and it will be slower to train offline. Resource will have great impact on your gameplay and make it more strategic. Depending on the kind of resource you can access to, you will be able to unlock different weapons. As for territorial control system, due to the structure of the systems there will be a large variety of heavily contested areas such as large forests. Vehicles will be greatly involved in this part, and there will be bonuses to capturing territories that are connected.

There are some questions from the community, too.
When is beta?
Beta will ready when we feel the game is ready for people to play and test in. There is no solid date at this time.
What are you most excited about in Planetside 2?
I am most excited about the world system and the territorial control system, for example being able to capture a ridge or a river bend. Also the engine is capable of things volumetric clouds where vehicles could fly in and hide in the clouds.
Can you tell us if 3rd person will play a role in PlanetSide 2?
There will only be a 3rd person view for certain air vehicles, infantry will not have a third person view at all. There may be things like cameras that an infiltrator can throw on a wall to monitor who is coming up the stairs or around a corner.

Volumetric clouds! No BFRs!! No third person view for infantry!!!

There aren't enough exclamation marks in the world to express my excitement :D
 
No 3rd person for infantry is excellent, otherwise it gives an advantage with being able to look round corners without exposing yourself... so very happy about that :-)

Decent clouds... my only concern is that these 'features' could be turned off or the effect lessened with lower graphics settings giving some people an advantage (i.e. still being able to see you).

I don't have an issue with BFR's to be honest, other that them being pretty powerful and turning it into 'mech warrior'.
 
Please let them have a fun physics engine.

When Planetside was in Beta and first launched, the physics engine made vehicles very unstable and bouncy which was fun as it took skill to drive fast over terrain without flipping vehicles :D

I hope and pray we'll be able to do barrel rolls in deliverers again :D or power slides in sunderers ;)
 
lol, I do remember the flipping, was comedy! Annoying at the same time when it happened to you and you couldn't 'right' yourself though.

Proper physics would be fun though :-)

I do actually have to wonder why they never updated the textures in the original Planetside though, some of them are dire!
 
I only played this with a friend when he gave me a trial where I'd run over teammates like a troll with him screaming at me on TeamSpeak, ah those were the days.
