As frustrating as this game often is for me, every now and again I find myself in one of those insanely fun situations that keep me coming back. Last night on Waterson, Bio Lab alert and I was at either Rastu or Allatum and I found a bitching little spot on some rocks over looking the avenues of approach from the teleporter room and the landing pad (think I was guarding C point) and it was a goddamn blood bath. Every rocket ended in a kill and god knows how much ammo I went through but by the end I was like 65 and 7 K/D. I usually roll my TMG 50 but given the range I was fighting at I broke out the Carv and just locked down those chokepoints with a shitload of fire.

Always good to just spam rockets and get easy kills :p

For anybody that doesn't know, it'sPlanetsides first birthday!

There is a huge 40$ bundle worth about 140$ on sale for now as well as everyone in game will get double XP until Sunday, the 24th. I'm definitely going to be grinding, don't think I'll get that package though but it's cool regardless.

If anyone gets it, buy it from theWeb Storenot in game.

Web Store makes it account wide, while doing it in game apparently locks the camos/boost to your character.

Also, the package by default has weapons for all 3 factions. That right there is a pretty good deal on its own.

Edit:
PS2 anniversary livestream on Twitch.
PS4 giveaway on Facebook.

Live QA/Discussion with devs. Pretty campy. They just spent 10 minutes with the programming team poking fun of their buildmaster and his creepy laugh and avoidance of appearing on streams.

My god thank you for that web store info.

Just an FYI the 1500 point cards are on sale for $10 at Gamestop and can be used to buy that booster.

Anyone know if you can buy the pack and save it for the PS4 version? While I play on PC right now, I see myself switching once its possible since Im lazy and like to play from my couch.

So the patch to fix the patch has more crashing/freezing bugs than the two previous patches combined. Oh SOE, how I wish I could quit you.

I've had zero issues since the patch.
Same here, but I've heard 1 or 2 in the platoon that have issues after 20 minutes. I think I'm going to hit cert cap this weekend (10k last I checked). I already have 4400 banked!

PS4 and PC servers are going to be separate. I was under the impression account-wide unlocks would cross over but not entirely sure.
Console & PC shooter servershaveto be separate: mouse & keyboard is a superior control method to joypad so putting everyone on the same servers would relegate console gamers to the "cannon fodder" role.

Had my first issue this morning after the hotfix, could never get past the loading screen, about to attempt it again.


It's working now, but it's still loading slow as hell.

I've ran into a few issues too. Yesterday all my timers were stuck at 00:00, but the capture bar would still move. I'd hit 'v' for voice commands and they were all blank. Class icons in platoon and map display would not update. Relogging fixed

It took me 4 tries to get in this morning. 2x I got stopped at 96% trying to load the character screen, and 2x I froze after trying to log on with my guy. After that it was fine until I got my normal disconnect from using my AA launcher too much. Yesterday was much more fun when in the middle of a large battle no one could cloak or use terminals. One of the guys I was with said earlier everyone's damage stopped being accepted by the server (at least locally), so there was a "tea party" between some VS and TR at a base capture point haha

I've been stuck at 96% a few times myself. Last time I just left it loading while I took a shower and it was done. Also something is/was certainly up with rockets or something cause I could sit in my fully certed sundy and watch its health drop but for the life of me couldn't see what was causing it or where it was coming from.

Double exp is badass, popped a 100% boost also, all that on top of my 50% for sub, and add in the 20% for alerts. Think I was getting like 200 certs an hour last night.

I was thinking about getting back into this game. It runs/looks great now. Where is a good place to play?
