*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

While it's beyond some folks budget a fairly basic i5 (anything sandy+, probably gen 1 too) and something like a 7950 should run this more than fine. That's a £400 system on a good day.

Currently deeply into this, got the hang of most parts of the game (ok, I'm... not the best skywhale pilot but the fighter and bomber aircraft I can handle) and it's easily some of the most fun I've had in ages.
Loved the original planetside to death and this is really starting to shape up. Once they get the next load of content in and start working on more weapons/vehicles etc it'll be kinda awesome :)
 
If you run the PTS test server when the efficiency patch goes live, and log in with your account, you get a 3 day boost for you character in live. The patch should hopefully be up soon, if it isn't already.

Also.. if you ever find yourself getting bored... try and change tact. If you are normally a foot soldier, get together with a mate and spawn tanks/harassers etc and just hit and run trying to stay alive. Same with liberators etc. This game can keep you entertained just when you thought you learnt it all :-) Same applies if you always use long range weapons... get a shotgun or SMG... :-D
 
Could someone please help me i'm trying to patch the game but every-time after install it gives me an error something along the lines of not got necessary permissions.
I've tried running as admin but still get the same error my os is win8.

Lots of people have been having problems with the last few patches.
First check your AV. Especialy if your using Avast. Add an exception for the entire game folder into the realtime shields section. This has fixed many patching and also launching problems.

Next thing to check is privaleges. Some people cannot patch the game unless they run it with full admin rights.
 
The first patch of OMFG is on the Test server is live.

It's broke the game, it's totally changed everything. I try to list a few things.

The UI is ugly and confusing, the health and shield bars are all weird looking.
The player movement is jerky and crap, it's like you are bouncing when you move.
The cone of fire on weapons is beyond stupid, firing a TMG-50/Carl 9 is like firing a shotgun at long range, you just see the bullets all OVER the screen even with using forward grip in scope mode.

The Bio Lab has been re-designed. There are walls all over the place now, this isn't a good thing.
The spawn room is underground, but that isn't a good thing, only way to access it is though a teleport but that teleport takes you to the vehicle bay.

From the vehicle bay you have to run tho a little "walled" path between the vehicle pads to a other teleporter to get to the "spawn" room inside the Bio Lab which is just a small building "like you see in other outside bases" which has deathtraps walls exiting the spawn room.

What I mean by deathtraps is that you are walled in, it's grenade spam galore, the walls funnel you.

This is the only way to get inside the Bio Lab other then the landing pads.

So otherwords, once the shields go down or they used Shield Diffs to enter the vehicle bay with Fury Sundies, they can "camp" the teleporter for easy kills, cutting you off from the Bio Lab.

What the **** drugs are they taking? What the **** are they doing?

Zoe Max is even more OP'ed then ever. While writing this, I was hearing my friend explain how in his fully certed Max (anti-personal armour level 5) walk behind a ZOE Max and start tearing into it with Dual Onslaughts and he still dies to the ZOE Max as it turns around.

Shotguns are even more deadly now.

I heard people getting 10-15 more FPS then before. Guess the Devs can thank themselves even when more players leave this game after this failed update.
 
10-15fps increase so far sweet. Well im happy. The rest may be **** but least that can be fixed I guess or reverted. The performance increase is what we are all after.

Gameplay mechanics being wrong. Well isn't that what teh test server is for to test new ideas? Dont get me wrong I've not followed any of the test stuff so have no idea if that mean hey this is basically final like it as we are releasing it anyway.
 
I played on the test system last night and all I done was the training part where is the actual game or is it just training?
 
Test server it might be, but think about it, they have been working on this for a very long time and they won't just dump it.Think about this, you can already shoot though the vehicle bay shields at a X distance because they don't render. Now think of MBT's camping that teleporter with HE. Yes, am going to go unlock/buy HE for my Prowler, this will be fun if it ever goes live.

Oh, some people have noticed that player models had a "size" reduction too, which is just a cheap and lazy way to get more FPS for you. All these changes are for the PS4. Some of my PS2 friends have said they might even stop playing PS2 if this goes to the live server, pretty sure many others feel the same way.

Camp this and it's game over for that Bio Lab.

I think I will cert the final magazine size for my dual Furies and increase their Ammo. 18 Fury shots per load into that Teleporter. Feed me certs.
 
Good increase in FPS I'd say. Wonder what that translates to in big fights though.

Size reduction? Quality of camo, or physical model size in the game?

They may have just optimized the code to make use of multicore CPU's better. I hope they haven't dumbed something down to increase the fps.

The UI/Base changes are not part of the OMFG patch - it's just what they put on the test server (i.e. on top of some other things they were already trying out) - the OMFG patch wont go live with those other incidental changes.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to register an account but it doesn't seem to be working. Is the registration down or something? Was really looking forward to playing this tonight as well ;-(
