Planetside 2 PS4

AllthingsCP

Many many hours on the PC version, I managed to secure a ps4 copy today as i was sick of waiting to receive a copy from SOE via email.

Population is low but that's to be expected as its player base right now is heavily restricted. But overall i recommend anyone that has a PS4 to apply for the beta as you-tube videos and anything less then 15hr of in-game play will not do the game justice.

Fine a group of buddies team up and you will be hooked!! PM me for PSN if you have the game and want to team up.

RangeR

I was a private beta for this. 15GB of download later, and 20 minutes of gameplay, the game was promptly deleted.

Just not my cuppa.

Its takes some getting used to, Give the ps4 a chance to find its feet with this game, Once you get into it and starting enjoying the whole HUGE social aspect. Find a group adds so much to the game, Create or join an Outfit stay and Rank up with you outfits custom ranks and do well to get you outfit on all the achievements Screens for capturing and killing.

Played today still lacking players but overall i know whats coming so i am willing to wait.

Currently no proper social/squad/platoon/outfit systems in place yet and there's still things to add and sort for the PS4 version, and not to mention to low player counts. They should just open it already.

Playing NC on Ceres if anyone else is interested.

The game is in beta at the moment so they are only testing it but when it is released it will be a free game

It won't be free, it will be free to play online in that you don't need PS+ to play it online.

No, it will be free. Its a free2Play game, just like DC Universe Online is. It has a cash shop for players to purchase in-game convenience items and cosmetic changes using real money.

Varik

Unlike a lot of f2p games you really don't need to spend anything.

AllthingsCP

Happy to see today and the last few days large battles taking place reminds me more of the PC version. Was caught up in a 150+ battle today for about 4hrs of play.

Anyone still playing this? Finding it fun but would be better in a team

See a good few playing but no one really playing together. Only released properly last week and even that was a bit early.

A lot of features missing, only real change is it's stable and you unlocks won't be wiped anymore.

Got a chance to get stuck into this for a few hours last night,very enjoyable.

Although 30fps is a real shame the screen tearing in the beta was shocking so i can see why they made the decision.

Barring the framerate it plays very well. Got into at least two major battles on indar that were great fun. Have only played vanu really,going to give the terrains a go for the next character. Played a bit of conglomerate on PC.

My gamertag on PSN is the same as here if anyone wants to add me.

EDIT: Server down for anybody else?

Not locked at 30, the frame rate is still unlocked.

Which server you on, not playing vanu right now but do have a one.

Really? Felt very sluggish at some points,anyway not enough to put me off.

I cant remember the server but ill post it when i get a chance to check,couldnt log in earlier to check but ill try again after work tonight. Also now have a terrain character,ill post his server up as well.

Think the down time is probably lizard squads doing after havining a look,john smedley decided to have a go at them on twitter yesterday so i reckon they ddos'ed all of daybreaks games yesterday,nothing worse than a bunch of butthurt hacker kiddys:(

Even on PC it does, big battles kill the frame fate.

Only just got a chance to log in now,anybody wants to add me feel free to join when im on.

Game's been patched, they've added outfits (clans) so it might be worth trying again.

EoinHef

Finally getting a few of the lads to play this now,was an ordeal trying to explain to them about faction/server picking! You'd swear i was talking a different language!

Decided to all play terran for the moment,had a good 4/5hr session the other night,once they understood the spawn system we were good to go.

Very enjoyable so far,and its nice to see a game release that wasnt riddled with bugs and such. I will be putting more time into this over the next while

I hope we can put together a small outfit and experience this the way its meant to be played.

Varik

Server wise;

• Ceres is the most populated and generally even, sometimes Vanu are at a slight disadvantage number wise but I think there are a few good VS outfits on Ceres so that doesn't seem to matter. Generally it's even.
  
• LithCorp is 60% NC most of the time so no point playing on that at all, while you will get a XP boost playing the other sides every fight will just be a inevitable zerg rush by NC which means playing NC is pointless as well.
  
• Rashnu is all right not as even as Ceres but NC & VS are generally equal.

Going to set up a NC outfit on Ceres, if Eoin sets one up on Ceres for Terran and then someone sets up a Vanu later (not sure where)

Need to figure out some names for them.

Im lvl 15 NC on Ceres, I hope to reach 25 Mark by end of the weekend Iv over 1000 hours on PC as-well.

Anyone any idea why the Battle Cash is not showing up on my characters i purchased 5e 1 few weeks back noting and a 9.99 1 today and noting do you have to active it?

EoinHef

I set up an outfit this morning after work,2 of us in at the moment. Another lad be joining next time were on.

Terran on Ceres

Outfit is HeffOF,i know i know but i was tired after work and couldnt think of anything better!!
Ill get an invite sorted for your terran chars on Ceres. If you wanna post their in game name here ill invite next time im on. AllthingsCP ill invite ye on PSN,i already have varik on PSN.

Just about to hit lvl 14 on terran ceres now as well.

Ive been trying to guide my mates through there first few hours and we have done ok. Now im starting to hit my knowledge limit for the game. I only logged about 30 hours on PC. So im still figuring stuff out as we go at this point. They understand deployment now though which really helps!

Lucky i did play a bit on PC though,the lads would really have not had the patience had they not had somone with at least a basic understanding of the game. Dont think ive ever played a game where over the mic ive heard "Where do we go next?" so many times though:)

Congrats on the baby:)

Ive mostly been using heavy assault for TR so that works out nicely and ill stick with it. The standard launcher is terrible againt vehicles though,any advice on which one to get to replace it? Standard LMG seems ok so dont mind sticking with that for a bit.

Im working nights atm but i should be on wednesday night at a reasonable hour.

Its pretty bad playing after work,understandably there is no one on EU servers at about 4/5 am so just running around capping bases with the odd fire fight. Gets old pretty fast,be back on day work next week so be back to playing at more sociable times.

Varik

C4 or at mines, no launcher will do what you want by yourself againt a mbt. Not worth the certs, if you're buying one then ns desimator but again not really worth it.

C4 is per class so unlike weopons it needs to be re bought for each class.

Smg is good for heavy and can be used by every class including infiltrators.

Cheers,yeah felt like i wasnt even scratching the surface on tanks with the launcher. Quite like the idea of C4 so ill look into that. Havent bought any guns yet so ill also look into an SMG,any particular ones should be looking at?

Certs are hard enough to vcome by from what ive seen so dont wanna buy a turd:)

Level 1-15 give you a load after that it's 1 cert per 250 xp.

Only really played NC on PC and only started TR on PS4 recently so I've not bought one.

Weapons should really only be a later purchase, only exception would be maybe smg, bolt action sniper( nc start with one), and anti air rocket.

For TR I'm not sure which or any smg to get.

Ok thanks,ill just keep going the way i am so. I actually dont mind the LMG for heavy assault,decent at range and can just spam hip fire close up.

Going on now for a bit,ill send that invite for the TR outfit.

Light Assault upgraded jet pack and 2 c4 and you do a lot of damage, roughly 1000 certs but in my opinion worthed as tanks usually do not see you coming an enemy spawns take 2 c4 to blow up

Accepted the friend request, didn't get a outfit one.

EoinHef

Yes quite often, As NC on Ceres

Exar Khun

Do you have a decent outfit I could join for NC?

I love the game but it needs a group of people to play it with to get the most out of it.

AllthingsCP

I play alone now but that's just because im in the same boat as you.:)

What are you names and ill add you.
