Hindsight? I subbed for 6 months, and put the cancellation date in my diary. Glad I did now. That's a total stitch up and at very least deserves a ticket to customer services before the EU get involved. Now thats one cause that deserves nerd rage other than bleedin' zergs/AA/base design/not PS1 and other such topics. Was there any hint in the Terms and Conditions that the 5 quid a month would be withdrawn if you simply cancelled your standing order??

Out of interest are you SOE subbed or Pro7? This is easy to answer, do you pay in euro's or US dollars?

SOE I think. I paid in game and when I checked my emails I noticed this

You will automatically be charged the above amount for the number of months purchased until you cancel. You can cancel by logging into your SOE account and selecting "Game Pass Info" then "Cancel;" if you do that, your Game Pass will be cancelled at the end of the period in which you cancel your account, but nothing will be refunded to you.

And that's all it says. So in case I forget which I did with my Gym membership and I was paying for months before I cancelled, so I always cancel these things straight away.

I thought I'd be fine then this comes.

This email is to confirm your recent Membership cancellation.

As a result of this cancellation, your access to exclusive Members Only content will be removed after the end of your Membership cycle. In addition, and with immediate effect, you will no longer receive SC500 per month (granted for remaining on an auto-renew plan).

But you don’t have to leave the game completely! Your Station Account remains active, so you can continue your online adventures with uninterrupted access to free content!

If you miss the great Members Only quests, items, or your other characters, you can always renew your membership or purchase additional items with Station Cash.

If you have any questions or need more help, please contact Customer Service for assistance.

Thanks,

I hope I can get back on the rolling contract, but can't see any way of doing it in the account settings other than buying another 3 months etc.

What should I say in my ticket to the account department?

Cheers
 
I would put in a support ticket, although this has been known about for a while. Ironically, if you just fill out the credit card details with 0's it will still give you the SC. I agree, it is poor.

Say in your ticket that you wanted to remove the card details for security reasons but if this is a problem with getting the SC you are happy to re-input the details. Once (if) they give you the SC award, change the card numbers. theyre only going to try and collect once the sub period is up.

I was having a word with a mate a week or so back about this. It seems nowadays most players have tunnel vision to anything around them and are fixated on what they are trying to do.

It's how most games have been made to be played, good thing is this game doesn't and it clearly shows! :)

Yeah, it annoys me how blind/deaf people are, they just don't react to anything around them, even when you yell down the mic in vicinity direction/enemy.
A few times I've had one person on my team shoot at me then 30+ other people do just because they see tracers going towards a moving object. Arghhh!

So much to complain about in this game but I'm having a lot of fun, could be more if things changed.

I cancelled my rolling sub a few days ago and must say it is made quite clear that the 500SC/month will end from the moment you cancel. It is explained in the T&C's beforehand. Also, once you go into account options to cancel, the confirmation pop-up box repeats the loss of of monthly SC before you hit the final OK button.

I agree, it's kinda sucky, but it's not like they try to hide it.

Where abouts? I only subbed in game and there was hardly any info and only got the email above which didn't say much.

It's still a load of nonsense really isn't it?

It's a legal way of going about hoping people forget to cancel by introducing some illogical clauses like "You paid for it already, but if you cancel some of it gets taken away, but you still pay full price".

Rendering distance annoying the hell out of me at the moment. Players blinking in and out of existence is pathetic in an MMOFPS and makes the big fights a joke. Playing till the end of the double xp then giving this a long break, I need to play something different.

Would be surprised if they actually fixed it, because it means a lot more resources to be used. You can figure out how many friendly infantry are around you by /who btw, so you can tell how many there are.

Highest I've seen was 150 ish, it's not that many considering it's an MMO and all, while the enemy may have just as many, it rarely ever is.

Zerg, or be zerg, I've never ever seen an even battle in 40 ranks so far.

I remember people went on about having "so many on screen at once", this simply isn't the case, under 100 average are not considered many in an MMO for me.

I don't know the insides and out of this, but if it was easy it'd have been done by now, to achieve what we want I think they've a lot of work in front of them. Because right now it's broken 1 person can see another that can't in return, that's just fundamentally wrong for any game.
 
just downloaded this, cant believe ive missed this F2P.

just a question, do u know how to locate enemies and enemy bases?

i always seem to spawn where theres no action, making it boring.

press M to bring map up, depending what team you are you have a certain colour, blue NC , red TR and purple Vanu

if you scroll mouse over different parts of maps youll noticed it highlights x amount of pentagons joined together, these joined together pentagons make 1 area, each area has 1 capture point, scroll into map to find that capture point more accuratly on map.

for action, look for parts of the map which has a yellow or red "explosion" on it this means either medium action or red high action! youll also notice sometimes it will have the word deploy written where there is hiigh action. hit deploy and wait 10 secs then it will throw you straight into battle.

then once you help your team defend / capture a base youll probably notice about 20 tanks moving together elsewhere. follow them and youll keep with action through and through. once you die in a location your attacking look for a sunderer to spawn on close by to it to keep in action


reason i came on:

Anti air bundle today has the crow? surely AA bundle should have the hawk missile launcher in it? im confused
 
When you choose a team to play (one of the three factions) is that it for life?

Also whats the end game? Every battle has to end, if/when one team wins, do they just start fresh? (I mean the entire global scale here)

You are locked with that character to the particular faction and server and any weapons you buy cannot be transferred to another character. Totally sucks but more money for SOE.

As for end game, there really isn't one, it's just a persistent war.

They have pretty much said the station cash purchases will be account wide in the future. No date yet though.

200+ in a relatively quiet crown battle right now. I'd imagine it breaks 300 no problem later on.

I've seen Higby get asked on a livestream how many people were fighting in a particular area that was the Amp station they were in, the fight didn't even look that big, you will fight in bigger daily... he said over 400.

I think it's extremely easy to underestimate just exactly how many people are around you in this game at any given time.
