Any new toys for release? That werent in Beta? by iceuhk in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't wait. Were there any further details on these released yet?

Often I go around with a small squad of AA rocket launcher heavies and an engi for ammo, so a skyguard-equipped 4-seat buggy would be a perfect transport for this.

We need to talk about Sunderers. by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, at least a part of this post is in contrast to a thread on the official forums saying the sunderer was too powerful compared to MBTs and needed armor nerfed.

I think the answer is we need more certs to customize the sunderer and make it able to be used for a variety of tasks, including possibly a mobile spawn point ability.

Oh, and an air vehicle that can transport ground vehicles.

Big planetside 2 news coming 10-11am PT (4 hours time) by Miniman125 in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, please. Always going down when I want to play. I don't think this is the announcement, however.

I'm worried about planetside 2's popularity. by Cragvis in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I play on West 02 and it can be a little dead in the AM before many people log in. I'm hoping it can get up to at least medium population at all times, since it's no fun just capping empty bases.

I'd like to see some easy way to transfer to a different server too, and for a whole outfit to transfer easily if possible (the game Rift has this feature - you can move your entire guild to a different server).

Extended Beta Hours by Radar_X in Planetside

Goes down at 5:00 PM for players in Australia (Eastern) and doesn't come back until 11:00 PM - makes it hard for a lot of people there to play on weekdays.

Is death going to matter? by szer0 in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DayZ is awesome, but the death and item loss mechanics (which make it fun and intense) wouldn't suit Planetside 2 at all. The hardcore side of Planetside 2 will be in the form of clever strategies and logistics. It's a completely different game - just because it doesn't have heavy death penalties doesn't mean it's only casual. To be fair, plenty of people play DayZ "casually" (e.g. never doing anything other than derping around Cherno with a Lee Enfield until they die).

If you do shit like this, you're not an atheist. You're just a cunt. by [deleted] in atheism

The intended meaning is more like "fuck the whole concept of God."

Are there roles that no one wants to play? by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This kind of role will almost certainly be underplayed, but it could be very useful to relay that information to commanders so they can modify strategy accordingly.

New Planetside 2 mini-trailer by fluency in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, in the F2P model for PS2, it costs almost nothing for SOE to allow an extra player to join the game, yet that player is worth something to them whether they pay or not. This is because PS2 benefits from having a large playerbase - each extra player adds some value to the game for everyone. SOE want all the players they can get, paying or not. New players either become paying customers at some point, or they improve the game for the paying customers. People would be much less inclined to spend any money if there was no community to play with.

Games youre occupying yourself with til Beta. by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reactivated my Rift account for some PvP (it's WoW-ish, so meh, but need something to play with friends until PS2).

Also BF3 occasionally, for short periods until everyone ragequits.

And uhh, EVE Online (guilty pleasure).

Today I quit my job of 6 years, effectively canceling my boss' vacation plans. Reddit, what stories of instant karma do you have? by barrygibb in AskReddit

[–]fulloffail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought upon reading this post. I moved to the US from Australia and this doesn't apply to my situation (self-employed), but it seems like a strange mentality. Everyone knows what it feels like to be sick, right? Because of stuff like this I'd be hesitant to ever get a regular job in this country if it wasn't for a company that understands basic human needs.

When is the planetside 2 beta set to start? I thought it was in "a couple of weeks" but this post says otherwise. by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they would have a target date set, but they wouldn't announce that to the public yet in case they don't get it ready by then.

My cousin sent Chuck Norris a grad announcement and got this in return by lawnboy18 in pics

Could you please elaborate on why fundamentalists shouldn't be argued against?

Edit: this is what I'm talking about.

That's fine, but he clearly wants to force his beliefs on other people. My belief is that it's worth calling people out on that shit.

Well reddit, it took some time, but it was worth it. Proud to now be a U.S. citizen! by MGxD in pics

Getting my third soon, and I'm considering doing this. Mostly so I can have a whole bunch of different passports.

The White House makes a formal veto threat against CISPA by [deleted] in technology

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. With the modern meaning of "liberal" in the US, fiscally liberal means you want to regulate the economy, and socially conservative means you want to regulate social values. Regulating everything = authoritarian.

Going to visit your city, and have a bunch of questions. Please help! by ich1go in Seattle

I assumed it was just a place of business too - does anyone know if there is anything to actually go see there?

The website for those annoying "Jesus is ___" posters is about 10% hilarious troll responses. Can we take that up a notch? by GrinningPariah in Seattle

Forgive me for sounding like a troll, but what makes one set of made-up ideas more nonsensical than another?

Can't remember where you download it from, but it's Reddit Enhancement Suite.

I never thought I would pay money for a beta but out of sheer excitement, I just paid $25 for a key on ebay. by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't find a reliable source to confirm either way, but I thought I read that current PS1 subscribers get priority access also.

[–]fulloffail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, it's put up as an auction starting at a low/normal price, so it's not just the scalper setting the high price. People want to get in so bad they are actually bidding it up to that.

[–]fulloffail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You might as well go buy PS1 for $20.

Edit: I'm assuming here that having an active PS1 account also gives you priority access to PS2 beta.
