Planetside 2 - MMOFPS

[Tibe]

Gonna play this game aswell than. I decided to go Vanu. 

Can I seriuslly only play the one and only server I picked at the start with the character I made?

Yes, and you can't change faction either. But you can make as many characters as you like afaik.

Anyone got any experience with the different TR carbines?

Out of the two free carbines, one does slightly more damage, I'd go with that. Except if you also bought the infantry starter bundle, in which case I'd advise in favor of the Lynx or whatever its name was. I use it on both the Engie and the LA

Another day of completely smashing NC and VS traitors, victory is near!

so noone else is getting completely unplayable lag since release?

must be the pc with atm, can actually average 50 fps on lowest settings but as soon as i get in a fight its 0.2 fps.

pc is only a few years old, plays everything else fine but i guess all those players on screen.

luckily my home computer is i5, hd7950, but even that is needing medium settings to hit good fps which is a bit outragous really.

Imagine how it plays with 4GB ram, Q6600, HD5670.

Holy shit. I actually scored some frags! Not as infantry though, that's just unplayable for me.

I average around 24, drop to 16 in massive fire fights. My friend gets 90 FPS, drops to 70 in firefights. Lucky son of a b :/

In terms of weapons, if you're playing with people on a regular basis, pick ONE class and pump ypur points into it. Maximises your effectiveness and will probaly put you in a better situation than most of the player base who spend some here and there etc

For example, I'm probaly going to go engi (that turret is AMAZING for suppresion and if you find a point to flank fire, OMG) squad leader is going medic, so is another guy. Probaly the other 2 will be heavies for AV. (ofc we're an infantry unit, mainly using tanks for transport into heavily defended areas, we do go on infiltrator missions despite the fact the Terran sniper sucks ass lol)

I'm playing on highest settings

But yeah, the FPS still drops drastically in big fights. That is completely understandable. Also don't forget, they haven't stopped optimizing the game. This was posted yesterday by one of the devs:

I want to make this crystal clear.

We aren't done optimizing. We have tons of optimizations in the works, and a team of guys working on them.

We meet about them every day, sometimes multiple times a day. We review what you're saying.

As long as the frame rate is low, none of us are going to rest easy.

I personally have a system that I play on that is only getting 25fps in fights, and I refuse to upgrade the hardware... so this effects MY personal K/D ratio.

So any rumor that we don't care about a particular type of hardware, or aren't optimizing... squish it.

There is no conspiracy, and no rest. We simply have a lot of work to do.

If you hear someone saying it's easy, have them show you their game with hundreds of people and dozens of vehicles within a single 100 meter firefight. I'd happily accept their advice. *grin*

Tell them to ask someone who was in the original tech test how frame rate has advanced since then. That was a few months ago.

If frame rates are just too low, check back later. We'll still be kickin and frame rate will be higher.

For the rest of you, thanks as always for your patience and Keep the Faith.

Anyway, anyone who still hasn't joined us and is on Woodman/TR, write down your IGN here and we'll invite you to the glorious Calradian RePublican Guard. Do your planet a favour and help us get rid of terrorism. Join CRPG.

Free transport with the CRPG mountain bus included.

That being said I'll probably spend those 50 certs into making the Sundy a mobile respawn point. It's a great addition for such a low cost.

Ooooh cRPG Terran clan?! Sounds great, might hit that up for when the ARMA guys aren't on. Might be dropping you a PM soon!

4gb DDR2 ram, q6600 (not OCed), HD5770. Plays pretty fine, actually, was playable even on medium settings, except for some of the more massive fights.

But then it went completely unplayable (FPS < 10) at this one big base battle, which just had a fuckton of players in it. Though, i think that was just the game bugging up, since i had already spent up to 30 mins in that battle, before it went that way :/

Also, to hell with the tactical school bus, flash mob FTW

[Vibe]

Haha, nice.

Christo: HD5670 - low settings
PTX: HD5770 - medium settings
Vibe: HD5870 - high settings



4 gigs of ram is enough btw. The game is processor heavy. I have a 2,8 ghz quad core, I guess it helps a bit but could still use more power.

PS: I liked the tactical school bus don't think you were with us when we overcame a mountain with it. It was lifechanging.

PPS: Double Smedbux event today (aka 2x SC for the same money). To think I almost bought 2k SC for the infantry starter pack yesterday... lol

[Ninja_Khorin]

I run the game fine on highest without any much noticeable FPS drops, but my PC is only a year old.

Anyway, when I went to bed yesterday I was shocked to see how much territory Vanu Sovereignity had captured. For Science!

[Freland]

It's really hardware demanding but after I switched to a lower resolution it worked fine.
1440x900, low settings runnig fine on Geforce GTX 460 and Core 2 Duo 8400

It's a fun game although it's pretty overwhelming at first as a noob and I was totally busy just to stay next to my CRPG squad.

[Digglez]

Not 1, not 2, but 3 flipped vanguards.  2 of us fell over the edge, and then one guy tried to go up the steep hill and flipped backwards heh.  Tried for 30 mins to right them and couldnt.
