I like tankbusting, but that sounds stupid.

Hate to be cheeky but has anyone got a spare beta key for a friend of mine? He's the only one in our gaming group who hasn't secured a key thus far.

The distance was not that long.

The game isn't optimized for multiple cores yet. It's my big problem right now.

It was horribly unfun to fight against, and removed a level of interactivity from the game. The only respite was when I could get behind a line of Phoenix users, wait for them to fire, and then gun them down while they were flying their missiles around. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen often when there's guys behind what are essentially castle walls shooting them the majority of the time. That weapon is a cool weapon in a single-player game, but in a game where other people are playing against you it's not fun at all.

I run a 6 core (AMD Phenom II) and I still go down to 20 FPS in huge battles... and the ingame FPS thingymajig assures me that it's 'cos of my CPU (I get about 50 fps in normal fights)

I have a 2.67 ghz dual core at the moment. But the game only ever takes up a single core, so it's not using the full potential of my processor anyway.

The Missile pack guys had a couple of counters.

1) Stealth suits messed up their day.

2) Aircraft messed up their day

3) Snipers messed up their day

A frontal assault would not.

It was not guard tactics, don't just throw more people at it.

Similar problem...

Yes, and it was a lot of fun on the rare occasion I could get behind a nest of them and go all out. However, you shouldn't have to use infiltrators, snipers, or aircraft to deal with a simple and man-portable weapon that only one empire had access to. It encouraged camping and turtling, which is terrible game design. Battles should be moving, not hiding behind walls or other cover for indefinite amounts of time. A forest full of Phoenixes was incredibly hard to clean out, or get away from given their range.

I was sure that this got fixed?

Dual Core is not going to run the game... pretty sure it wants quad core at the least?

Hey, if anyone needs a beta key, here's 5:

Just reply saying which one you took!

So the game is launching on the 20th; if you're not already in beta, the wait's almost over! It'll also be available on Steam, for the low, low price of free! A number of optimizations have been put in place - when beta started, I had to run on medium settings with some things set to low. Now I can play on high and it's like playing a whole new game!

Wow, Uni work has made me forget the eternal crusade begins in 2 days... cannot wait to really start unleashing holy wrath in the name of the Republic. Need to make a vanguard/templar outfit and then wait for more melee weapons.

Only then will those purple and blue freaks know true fear.

The beta ended on the 16th, and release is on the 20th! You know, just in time for many of us to go home for Thanksgiving to our parents' houses :rolleyes:

If you see RandyButternub, tell him you said hi. If you see RandyButternubs, murder him for stealing my name.

Urgh I know dat feel, logged back onto swtor when it went f2p, forgot my server got merged and had to change MY bounty hunters name. What unwelcome news that was, very unwelcome indeed.

Can't wait for the game to come out, I will bring a little doese of 40k to the game with my Outfit

Wish I had the money to afford a new computer.. Mine's a laptop from 2009.

See you guys on the battlefield, my ign is LumenPraebeo I played TR on Thebes. Don't know what that situation will be on release. But I'm looking forward to kicking the butts of tight skin suited and dark shade of pink wearing xenos worshippers.

Love this quote and cant wait to preach it in game!

My armour is contempt
My shield is disgust
My sword is hatred

IN THE NAME OF THE REPUBLIC, LET NONE SURVIVE

What sword?

I think he means the knife...

It would be nice if they added some melee weapons though. Nothing too over the top though, but i can imagine light infantry and max suits wielding some sort of long blade and powerfist

I will use knife while I wait for swords to become available

TODAYS THE DAY WOOHOO

That is something that's missing from a lot of FPS style games. Halo actually got it pretty right, with having just two or three melee options among the guns.

Though in Planetside, I think really only the MAXs would have anything of worth- maybe a pile-driver type Big-O fist or spikefor taking out other MAXs and tanks.

Too bad there isn't destructible terrain. That'd be awesome, if a MAX could just come bursting through a wall like the KoolAid man.

And BOOM! Currently available on Steam.

Looking at Planetside 2 specs on Steam and for recommended it said that 6 cores but speaking to people they say that a game can't use 6 cores is that right or is Steam wrong here and can't wait till after Christmas and play it on my computer.

I have a quad core and it runs great

Are we going to organize a Dakka group?

I would be willing to join, if only to see what the game is like with a group of people instead of the lonewolf thing that I normally do.

I'm on matherson, metalmessiah
