Planetside 2 - MMOFPS

[Gristle]

Between Alpha Squad and the 2x Black Friday sale, I have all the weapons and camo I'll ever want (until they give us solid colors to buy).

[Tanken]

I wish I had got onto Alpha Squad :/



I've been upgrading my Light Assault almost to max. Have the Thanatos with Extended Mag and I can hold about a 4:1 or 5:1 KD ratio depending on which base we're attacking

[Gristle]

I've been splitting my certs between Light Assault and Lightning. I have the maneuverability upgrade and have found that, terrain permitting, I can actually drive circles around Magriders, avoiding all of their shots. Haven't soloed a Prowler yet.

What faction and server is KUTT playing?

[Tanken]

My friend, we are in your Outfit now. Waterson Vanu motherfucker!!

[Gristle]

Bah! Not my outfit. NC4lyfe!

Please, tell me there's someone else that believes in freedom on Waterson.

[Tanken]

Pssssssssssssssssssssssh.


Vanu. FOR SCIENCE.

and Purple Spandex.

Lol, except that I'm 26, have a job and a son of my own who no doubt will be asking me to buy him items in games in over a decade  . The actual Station Credits I used to buy my stuff I got when I bought the Alpha Squad package during Beta. I'll probably also get a few more Station Credits to buy more weapons in the future ( and maybe to make some of my other classes look cooler than yours ), there's no way I'm saving up 700+ certs to buy one weapon lol, I just don't have the time or the patience and Sony knows this, which is how they'll make money from me on top of Premium, lol.

I know you aren't a kid, hence why I typed "probable", I just feel most of these skull mask wearers are 13 year olds or something. It's pretty blatant when you look at the nicknames.

I have bought the alpha squad thing too, with the 4000SC I got myself the infantry bundle and the vehicule bundle and I'm quite happy. The base prices are bullshit, I mean what the hell 10 dollars for just a gun. With all the fully equipped NC heavies I see around, I can suspect SOE is getting a lot of cash out of this pretend-F2P game (I still think it's pretty okay-ish F2P but there are many things like the fighter rocket pods that are essential for this and that vehicule).


Btw if you really play to farm certs, 700+ cert items are not that hard to get. You can get 100 certs per playtime hour if you do it right. Of course that's not the most strategically productive playstyle.

Yeah I usually do get lots of certs during my playtime, but the higher cert skills in the trees also cost tons of certs, even more than the guns sometimes, so it's going to take some time just to get those let alone having to save certs for weapons too lol. The thing is, it is F2P, but basically anyone who gets premium and some station credits is going to be far ahead of anyone who doesn't have premium or station credits as time goes on.

 I couldn't imagine playing now without premium either, 25% is making a good difference for me, also I get 10% on top of that in my alpha squad boost which lasts 3 months, so +35% exp is making certs pretty fast to obtain even if I'm not really trying that hard. Which is really ideal for me because I'm usually pretty busy with work, my girlfriend and son so I probably don't get as much time to play as most people do.

Now I activated c4, bought as many as I could, resupplied, and - nothing. I only have a activator, but can´t place c4. wtf?

EDIT: right mouse button ftw 

You didn't try to press right mouse button in game, but made a post about it in crpg forum?

Dafuq?!

[Overdriven]

Just about getting my head around this. Trying to figure out which class I like most so I can stick to it. Decided against recon, heavy assault seems ok and light assault is maybe to light. But have yet to try medic/engi.

[Logen]

76 certpods killstreak

infantry..

MAX?

[Vibe]

MAX?

certpods aka hellfire rocketpods for Mosquito, bombarding infantry :p

I'd like them to increase the xp gain for capping (and staying near the control points yourself) and also adding a flat xp prize for defending. Currently defense is only good because you get a bonus on kills afaik. So defense means finding a good spot to murder attackers, not actually keeping the point in your faction.

I usually go with engineer for versatility or light assault for mobility.  My favorite thing right now though is the bombers/galaxy transports so engineer is the best class for that.  It's fun working with a crew and if you can stop to repair occasionally it's possible to survive a really long time. 

I like the moments in this game when everything aligns perfectly, usually due to luck and some spontaneous teamwork.  Yesterday on the desert map there was a mountaintop base on the edge of a cliff with a lot of enemy infantry defending it against a couple of our infantry attacking uphill.  There must have been about 20 of them fanned out in a line behind some rocks with medics and engineers resupplying them, I think it was a large outfit because they seemed really coordinated.  Anyway, a galaxy dropped 11 of us from high altitude onto a roof right behind them and most of them were firing in the other direction and didn't see us land!  We just completely ripped them apart.

That sounds cool and all, but 500 certs is just insane of a price for such a basic feature
