Planetside 2 - MMOFPS

[Casimir]

Heh, I'm running AMD's Bulldozer... 8 physical cores. It was about time for an upgrade, PS2 was coming out, so I made the leap.

No problems on max settings here. =D

So I got the Alpha Squad and I can say I am enjoying it so far, haven't played alot but what I have played has been fun. My only issues with it at the moment is that the menus and interfaces seem awkward and unclear, the certification menu is just ugly and doesn't really explain much to me, all I know is I have only 1 point and it seems to take a while to get them yet everything costs alot, I also don't know how I get them. Other than that the only other thing that annoys me is the immense amount of snipers in some battles, never been a fan of snipers in any game though tbh lol.

Too many snipers? You must be fighting the NC. >.>

Cert points are gained passively over time, as well as by gameplay. The more you play, the more you get... but you're going to get them anyways, so whatevs.

Also, word on the street is that we're going to see a Wipe soon. So don't worry about it. Certs won't be getting full attention of the dev/design team for another week or so.

Protip: Spend your first few certs on accessing new things, not modifications of things you've got, with the exception of your optics for Rifles, SMGs, and MGs.

In PS1 i have invested some of the earlier points in support stuff. So i had a steady XP gain for healing/repairs and over the time i had access to the more advanced killing toys.

Yeah, it's not all the time there are a ton of snipers, just the occasional battle it seems half the enemies are snipers lol. Yeah I noticed my certs gaining over time, not sure if I also gained one when I hit Battle Rank 2 but I have 3 now anyway lol. Yeah I was going to spend them on unlocking new stuff, much more useful than a little upgrade for something I've already got. I like playing Engineer right now, got a nice amount of kills earlier with the turret and repairing stuff is always useful.

Sporting the engineer the most myself too. The repair is invaluable when you're grouped with maxes or tanks or doing Gal drops. And the turret is awesome for defending choke points. So far loving it, even though it's hard to find a squad that actually plays like a squad :/

You gain a cert point every 1000xp and passively every hour online or offline.

That's the thing I'm not gaining anything passively online or offline, all my certs are earned from xp, should I be getting them passively and should report this?

[GreasySausageSandwhich]

I think they turned it off temporarily.  They will bring it back within a patch or two.

Oooooo better performance for dual core processors god I hope I get a huge FPS increase.

So when I was playing this afternoon I saw higby running around. I was manning a turret at the crown as TR and he just runs up near the base and stands there for a minute or 2 then runs away toward Ti alloys.

Hahahahah.

There was like 5 or 6 infantry that unloaded clips on him. It was pretty funny.

Been playing with Darkwolf and Sylauris lately and it's been a lot more fun to play with people I know and can communicate with.

[Earthdforce]

Oh my god, how much longer do the people that signed up at the site have to friggen wait?!

[Banok]

cert grind is way to extreme now, I would be ok with it for release but during beta when you know your grind is going to be reset. cba to play, its still fun yes but might aswell wait until release.
