*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

The old Alerts was best, need bringing back.

At first I wasn't very fond that the resource system was changing but it allows me to play the game like I want to play it and that's between a tank or aircraft, in my case it's between Prowlers and Galaxies. :)

I do miss pulling my Max when I lose a vehicle though.

I also think am getting better FPS then before.

Render distance is **** still, why can some ***** shoot my tank with his blue ****ing lasers and rockets and I can't shoot him back? It's a double slap in the face when I can see where they firing from too.

I did meet two nice players from Woodmen today who jumped in my Galaxy, I let them gun for me and they was doing a good job, was happy to add them as friends.

Normally I fly over some base or battle and drop out randoms, but this time, I was kind. :P

Bloody hell, I had to go to page FOUR to find this thread!

Loving this game at the moment. My highest character is BR31 so still a newbie but gradually getting better. My KDR is 0.6 or so but in most cases I'm the one making sure you tank's not on fire or you're out of ammo. I also have a secret obsession with sunderers. No idea why, I think it's the "sunderer spawn bonus" XP that keeps flashing up. Bit like a slot machine.

That said, the updates get tedious. Every other day I've got to download another few hundred MB to keep up, which puts my gaming time back by a little while. I really shouldn't complain about updates as I've also complained about other games just not getting updated ever, but come on, every other day!

If anyone wants to shoot me, I'm an NC on Miller. Diddums84 is the name.
 
Lag is fairly bad but yeah they're working on it. Bad timing with SOE live near the merges I guess. My directives are also bugged, showing my score as about 105 when it should be in the 300-400 range.

Finished auraxiums for the EM1, Razor and Blitz.... also trying the Wraith flash now, takes some getting used to.
 
has anyone spent any money on this? is anything worth it?

I may have spent some... money on it in the last 2 years yes *cough*

Recommending specific weapons to buy is difficult as it depends on your play style. I'd only consider buying weapons that would otherwise cost 1000 certs though.


I'd say if you see yourself playing regularly, joining an outfit and sticking with the game for a period of time then membership would probably be the most worthwhile. You get more xp, more resources, 500 station cash a month and priority in queues between continents. Combine that with an xp boost and you'll be getting plenty of certs if you play reasonably effectively.

Remember the only things that cannot be unlocked with just certs (1 earned for every 250xp) are cosmetic items (helmets, armour, camo, decals, lumifiber etc). Any weapon other than silly golden variants can be unlocked with certs. So you can either save some time and buy it with money, buy membership and/or xp boosts to earn those certs faster, or just play for free and unlock it when you get there.

If you like NS weapons (NS-7 PDW, Commisioner, Bursters for the MAX, NS-11A, C etc) then they're a good choice to buy with station cash as they can be used across all empires.

Also, if you do see yourself playing for a while they'll likely have a sale around Christmas and possibly Black Friday, last year they had things like 50% off an entire category (e.g. vehicle weapons) each day plus an item for sale at 1 station cash each day. So you could get say membership now, save up the 500 per month and have about 2000 station cash and pick up a bunch of things then.
