Planetside 2 - MMOFPS

Aargggh! The fucking lags! 

My comp can't handle the game for shit 

Mine works fine until I hit a zerg fight, then it gets pretty bad. It's not a bad PC as well, but I guess I need a better CPU to handle the zergs.

Oh come on the lag these days is nowhere near as bad as it used to be, atleast not for me...

[Fips]

Any tips for noobs?

[Kafein]

I don't have lag per se, but there are a lot of connection issues.

Look at signing up for an outfit if you wanna get good, good squad play is key to success.

So what are your plans for PS2 when it comes to outfits? Anyone got any good outfit to suggest already?

anyway, new cert changes

Hey all -

Based on a lot of feedback on the current weapon cert prices being too high from a time investment point of view, we're going to be making some adjustments to both cert gain rate and cert costs for weapon unlocks. This will affect both vehicle and infantry weapons.

Some notes:
1 - Our goal here is to reduce the overall time investment for weapons by about 30% on the top end weapon unlocks.
2 - StationCash prices are remaining exactly where they are.

We're doing two things to accomplish this change.

First, we'll be changing the XP:Cert ratio to 250:1. So you'll be earning cert points twice as fast as the current build.

Second, we'll be adjusting many of the cert prices to compensate for this increase, most certs for things like class abilities,attachments, etc. will be doubling to maintain the same overall time investment as current, but weapon certs will be increasing by a smaller amount or in some cases staying the same, effectively reducing the total time investment for unlocking items. The new weapon cert costs will be:

SC Cost | Old Cert Cost | New Cert Cost | Overall time investment delta
----250 --|--------- 50--------|---------100--- ----|---------0%
----500 --|---------250------| ---------250-------| ---------50%
----700 --|---------375------| ---------500-------| ---------33%
----700 --|---------550------| ---------750-------| ---------32%
----700 --|---------725------| --------1000-- ---| ---------31%

At launch all weapons will fall into one of those 5 price categories. As you can see, these prices combined with doubling the cert gain rate effectively cuts the total time investment for the top end weapons down by 30+% for all players.

As always, thanks for your continued feedback about the game. And remember, that doesn't end when the beta does, we want to keep hearing from you throughout the life of the game.

I got 5 cd-keys from one of my friends, but before I want to install Planetside 2, is it worth downloading the 8 GB?

No. The beta ends today or tomorrow and you'll have to redownload everything when it releases in 4 days anyway

Is it just me or has something happened with the distance the game is rendering players at now? seems it changed for me in an update and now players just seem to appear out of no where :S, or is that now a feature? lol.
