*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

I'm thinking of upgrading my G card for this game as my 560ti is hardly cutting edge. however allot of the time this games says its CPU limited, now im running a 3570k at 4.6ghz (mobo, ram, cpu & SSD make this the most expensive free to play game in history) so im not going to upgrade that anytime soon.

Would switching to a 770 be worth the outlay? I know id get smother play in allot of other games but 80% of my gaming time is mainly on PS2,Neverwinter and xcom right now and only PS2 is going to benefit from a Graphics card upgrade.
 
Don't feel like playing anymore because the cloak is so broken. Cloaked Fury Flash was my favourite thing to do.

Tested low settings out today and even without the cloak being bugged, cloak players are so easy seen it's very disappointing. Using low settings feels like cheating. :/

I still don't get why they don't change it so that infs are completely invisible to night vision and show up clearly with heat sensing. It would give people a reason to spend the 200 certs on heat vision for vehicles. Is there anyone in the game with that cert at the moment?

I have it on my Fury Flash, since you get close anyway to targets and TH highlights the enemy better then NV does at that distance.

It's pretty sweet, a big change from seeing green all the time. :)

It will give some improvement but I can't see it being as huge as you would expect in other titles; if you go to a warpgate and turn all your settings between ultra and low, you will see pretty hefty FPS differences. Next time you're at a 48+ vs 48+ zerg clash and you're at your 'big-battle' FPS, try that again, in my experience I get 40-50fps regardless of whether it's all on ultra or on low due to the CPU limitation.

Your CPU doesn't exactly have a tonne of room to upgrade either for performance... so if you have the money, sure, it's always nice to get new shinies for your PC. But I would possibly wait out this new multicore optimization Smed has tweeted about to see exactly how big of a performance jump that brings (along with any other optimizations that come)
 
Well, I seen to got a lot of my outfit using Cloak Flashes with Furies now. Roving around the battlefield grenade spamming groups of infantry and camping Sundies, great fun.

Only 12 levels from BR100! :p

Looking towards the next updates, hoping the Enforcer/Saron will get rebalanced in the next one. :)

Well one of the big benefits of the fury is that it's projectiles or impacts don't render for pretty much anyone at medium+ ranges, so they are all dropping dead and they don't know why.

If you think the infantry rendering was bad in this game, it pales in comparison to just how terrible it's made by projectile rendering.

That's news to me, never heard anyone complain about that or read about that on the Official forums.

But I been killed by Furies myself on Sundies and Flashes (while am on a flash) and everything has rendered fine for me.

You've never seen the issues with the projectile rendering in PS2? you've never been in a lib getting hit by invisible burster fire or lock ons you can't see? you've never seen that row of tanks on the hill in the distance that looks like only 1-2 are firing, when all are spamming constantly?

The projectile rendering is probably the most broken thing in the game, they have said that they're desperately working on it, but tbh they bit off more than they could chew with this game and simply don't have the technology to deliver on it.

Yes I seen all that, but not with the Fury.

The rendering problems in this game is my biggest hate, nothing I hate more then some AV Turret newb and Lancer player hitting me from god knows where with invisible bullets and rockets.
 
Just got a deathadder 2013 and wondering if anyones got one and plays this and if so what kinda settings do you have on the mouse i.e 6400 dpi and what ingame settings u got up also the windows setting is that still at 6 or lower but with high dpi?

Just wondering what "generally" is used for this mouse and game which i know might not suit me but id give it a go see if i like it.
 
Hi I had the da 2013 and had my dpi set around 2000 via the Razer software but it was not good for me so I went back to a Zowie gaming mouse and it's perfect at 2300dpi
 
I use

[Controls]
MouseSmoothing=0

in my useroptions.ini (it's not an option currently in the settings/controls section as I believe they are still working on it)

but basically it completely diabled in game sensitivities and takes it straight from windows/mouse.

So with my Logitech G500 I have 2 buttons to adjust sensitivity, there are 3 or 4 levels. The first level I use for infantry work and it works really well for me, the sensitivity seems to be very accurate and pretty much perfect for ADS and strafing.

It took me a little while to get used to it, but it seems to have more control and more RAW input feel, even with the options checked in game.

I'd recommend giving it a go see what you think.

Vader wheres the file located?

Mine got installed to my public folder

C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\PlanetSide 2

then under useroptions.ini under [CONTROLS] just add the line

MouseSmoothing=0

I can tell the difference in response between this bypassing in game sensitivity and having the game control sensitivity.

Started playing this because I wanted a fps to play. Pretty enjoyable for a F2P, though I get a little lost at times :o

Any questions ask away, also what faction/server did you pick? If you see yourself playing for more than a brief period I highly recommend joining an outfit (clan), as it's much more fun played in a group and they'll be able to help you learn as well.
 
If anyone is interested in getting some station cash for a discount, I have a few of the US nvidia codes that give you 5000SC for sale in the members market.

You know you need those Lumifibers.

e: BTW Are there any of the original ps1 crew playing this these days? I played during beta and the first few months of release with the OcUK lot back in the day...
 
Thinking about making an account and starting to play, but not played anything like this before, so have some questions.

I make a character and pick a server and they are on that server forever right? I can play on other servers, but have to make another character? Same with factions, am I stuck with whatever I pick?

Another thing that is putting me off the game. People just seem to be constantly moaning about balance. Are the servers really that unbalanced in favour of certain factions? or is it just people exaggerating as normal?

Thanks
