Nemesis

I'm using DemonBaby and playing Terra.
Havent met anyone from boards yet.
So where r u guys?..and what nicks you using?
DemonBaby.

El Marco

Well I'm still waiting for the game to come in the post, but when it does I'll most likely be called ElMarco, as I keep the same name for everything.

flav0rflav

This discussion has to be one of the more amusing things i've read recently: (planetside forum discussion on the appropriateness of Sinn Fein as an outfit name)

adnans

americans seems to have become paranoid about all things terrorist since the 'incident'. no wonder its spilled over into the gaming world. its kinda funny but also sad when it comes to that point.

anyway, back to the game. whats the max amount of players per outfit? could we not just form an Irish outfit, with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. battalion. or would that complicate things for boards users who are not living in ireland but wish to join the same outfit.

adnans

Moriarty

Theres no limit to the amount of people in an outfit. What are we going to call ourselves?

Oh, ill be playing once the cds arrive in the post and using Moriarty as per usual

Venom

Playing NC on the Euro server named Jounar.

But i tend to play on the Konrad server as Im BR5 there in a 90+ outfit

flav0rflav

Euro server? Yea?

Cool, as soon as netsource get me more bandwidth ...

Dr_Teeth

Slane

This may be a little off topic but after reading the posts on that forum from the link above,i happened upon this,which i think is hilarious and disturbing at how ignorant alot of people are about Ireland.Its a bunch of americans and australians questiong if the USA will be bombing Dublin!Fingers-crossed none of these idiots ever make it into a position of power.

quozl

quozl, NC on werner, in formido outfit.

Anyone who wants to join the outfit from boards is welcome, we were the 4th highest scoring outfit on the server last night.

Nemesis

I was in the Terra Army but had a chat with Greg/Quozl and I gave up my sniper/crap lev 4 and started on NC Sunday evening after a spot of Lunch.:).
I'm now lev 5 and quite happy with my character...thinking about going medical route from now on.
Outfit last night was great..apart from one dude a bit obsessed about full groups and whining about exp.
Brought back memories of EQ/DAOC which I could do without.
Game beginning to get a grip on me.......
10.38 now Mon morning and I'm going to goand have a peek...:).
DemonBaby.

Grand_Izer

heh, my Terra Rocket launcher eats NC grunts like soggy weetabix.

One more cert point and i can start my career as a engineer. Time to kill some more NC folk...

Dr_Teeth

Do you mean the Striker or the Rocklet? Nothing beats an NC Jackhammer indoors I'll have you know!

Teeth.

Dooom

im thinkin of pickin up a copy of this at the weekend. i assume its good? umm but ive only got a 56k (wont have dsl till the very far future when some company wakes up and listens to us people in the arsehole of nowhere!!!!) will it be playable on that? the rest of my spec is amd 2600+, 768 ram, win 2k, asus 17n8x deluxe and my pride and beauty, a geforce fx 5900 ultra 256mb. (well i'll have it at the weekend )

Grand_Izer

The rocklet - usually set to autofire and ready for some close range combat with a MAX.

[edit: I plugged in my old 56k and tried it out on the Euro server. There wasn't any noticable lag compared to the 64k isdn i'm currently on, pretty smooth throughout thanks to the kickass netcode PS employs. I can't vouch for 56k in one of those massive 100+ player battles but it should hold out fine. ]

Morpheus

any more experience with 56K modems anyone?

broadband wont be out our way for a while either, thinkin of a new PC, but will it be worth it??

Monty - the one and only

Just joined NC on the Euro server last night, under the nick Mont0r

A meager br 2:(

Nemesis

Give Palle or Quozl a tell in game if you want to join up with Formido.
Every night we seem to have a full squad of 10.
Would be nice to have 2 full squads on the go workking together.
DemonBaby.

Tellox

TR, BR7.
Silly people going NC, now you'll feel the mighty wraith of tellox - whom you cant see.

Monty - the one and only

Thats what darkligter's for tellox...Theres some pretty good nc squads running about, this morning the squad I joined, took back cyssor from TR and Vanu, pretty much on our own...which was alot of fun...Both Tr and VS were pretty much unorganised each player doing their own thing by the looks of it

Dr_Teeth

I'm specced in Darklight, Jackhammer and paranoia Tellox, I'd say away if I was you.

Teeth.

Nemesis

Im specced much the same.
Looking forward to 'Seeing' you about the place Tellox.
DemonBaby.

Tellox

I was at cyssor...and I wouldnt go as far to saying you took it back, the most bases that TR or NC ever held was a shared 4, which is pretty easy to wipe out... and I've beaten a lot of darklights already, all you gotta do is run up right next to em with the infil's super-recoil gun and begin blasting..

Monty - the one and only

hmm how odd, ok maybe taking it back was a little a strong description but when I left there was only 1 TR base and 2 VS bases left, so annhilating a much larger TR force is a much more acurate discription:p ...When we landed on cyssor, NC held about 3, VS 1, and TR held the rest.

Nemesis

Went Anti-V and sniper.
God I suck now.....Going baq to jackhammer and gauss.
Have to wait a whole 2 days!.:).
DemonBaby.

magpie

I've been playing a lot of bf1942, and Planetside seems pretty slow, boring, nerdy, complicated and aggravating in comparison...

Anyone else have the same experience? Admittedyl I've only played it once since it arrived, so maybe it gets better.

Also, is it just me, or is flogging you a game then hitting you up for a monthly sub a bit cheeky?

nerdy?? heh. Pot meet kettle

Planetside's not that complicated. Just big. THere's lots in it but what you're doing is straight forward.

The only reason bf1942 seems better to you is that you have, by your own admission, played lots of it but only played planetside once and therefore not found your way around yet.

Anyone else have the same experience? Admittedyl I've only played it once since it arrived, so maybe it gets better.

I played it for the second time last night and I'm now in an outfit (TR - "Retribution") and have already picked one specialisation (being a medic). The game just keeps getting better and better the more stuff I figure out

Incidentally, my nick is "lemming" on the emerald server

Also, is it just me, or is flogging you a game then hitting you up for a monthly sub a bit cheeky?

As pointed out elsewhere by others, this IS an MMO game and the server specs and bandwidth required to host games are pretty colossal. Sony are also planning to introduce new stuff into the game too, so that's what you're paying for. An ever evolving service that's being run off machines capable of running it with people dedicated to looking after them.

Spunj

Nick is Flatfoot on the Euro server, met up with DemonBaby last night and joined the outfit he is in.

Nemesis

I'm itching to gun for someones Enforcer and Quozl/Greg just aint on enough for me.:).
So if you have an enforcer cert give me a call..
If you dont have an enforcer cert get on..:)
Going to go combat engineer tonight.
Was an advanced medic but it was a waste of certs.
Nobody stands still for heals and its as handy to respwn most of the time so I get no chance of reviving peeps.
The way i look at it ..its harder to kill someone..more fun too..
So im going Combat Engineer.
DemonBaby.

Kevok

'Kevok' on euro server (TR) and 'Daithin' on Emerald (VS).

Dr_Teeth

I have an enforcer cert Nem, but I'm spending a lot of time on Konried VS at the moment playing with MAXes.

Teeth.

Venom

Iv an Enforcer cert on the euro server Nemesis but walking/driving takes far to much time, so Im going back to Reaver Pilot once my new PC is up and running

Teeth - I play VS on Konried as well in the Goon Squad with my SA buddies. Tis a total blast

Dr_Teeth

I've seen the goon squad around yeah, I'd like to join a decent outfit there. My char name is 'Anavel'. I'm in some newbie outfit atm.

Teeth.

If you've only played the game once I don't think you have the right to call it "slow, boring, nerdy".
In my opinion the game has the best of bf1942 and tribes2, at first I found it very daunting but I gave it a shot and the more I play, the more I learn, thus the more fun I have

Its an excellent game once you get into it

Furez

Dingbat on Euro server TR. Is there an actual boards outfit and how could I join?.


Furez

Monty - the one and only

Ahh the simple joy's hacking...managed to steal and keep this little toy alive for about 1hr 30 min on Johari last night

Rags

Havent met any Irish since I started, whats vanu the red headed step child none of ye seem to be playing em. Names Rags on Werner, no doubt you have been killed by me:D

Dr_Teeth

Most of the lads are NC on Werner I think, there's a good bunch of us in Formido. I'm VS on Konried though, it's nice to have the moral high-ground whenever I get owned.

Teeth.

El Marco

How would I go about joining this "Formido" outfit. I'm tiring of waiting around the sanctuary trying to get into crappy squads

Nemesis

Whats your nick in-game elmarco?.
is it Elmarco?.
give quozl or palle a tell and ask tojoin Formido.
Just say you know a bunch of guys from boards who are in it.
