It happens, you shouldn't really tk because someone killed a buddy, it happens and when the game goes live and you have hundreds of people all firing and fighting in a small space, it does happen a fair bit with newbs and you are all newbs on the ps4 unless you have prior pc experience.

You have not seen the horror of inter outfit platoon fighting that gets started from one incident of tk that snowballs lol.

"YOU HAVE FAILED THE REPUBLIC, THE FACILITY IS LOST"

o7 TR ftw.

do you think the new company will butcher the game in pursuit of the casual and his so called dollar?

Really?.

Well they recently sacked all the staff who haven't done **** for 2 years but roll out cosmetics.

So if that doesn't go completely against what you have said then i don't know what does. They are a long term investment company. You do not buy out a company and then alienate it's current playerbase and potential customers, that's what's called a loss mate.


You're just negative.

You US? Want one of mine?

Thanks for the heads up..... I'm probably going to be revising my decision to roll Vanu unless that tank handles like a dream boat...... I've been exposed to the Vanguard and more importantly the ideals of Managed Democracy...... well not really but I like big guns, guns that make things explode are even better.

got a code

server unavailable

Ahh that makes sense. But why pacific time

Thanks, I thought you meant it would be up for nine hours:P

Normally amerish. But iv noticed the pop is awful on the weekdays at the moment just need to hope around the diffrent conts till you see a good fight on the map Gÿ¦

So i had given up waiting on my code and was going through my mail to clear out the spam to discover yesterday that I got my beta code on the 3rd......

My experience after 3 hours on one afternoon:
I start a new character on Vanu and decided I prefer playing Medic, Light Assault, and Engineer in that order. Both Vanu and TR got camped at our warp gates simultaneously for about an hour by the NC. (may not have been any TR on at the time) We finally take the Xander Biolab and its been 2 hours and is time to get off for a bit. Get back on for an hour before bed, I get to rank 8 (still have only fought NC, the only TR I've seen was driving past my sunderer on an ATV) and decide to try and warp to one of the big maps to see if there would be more people. I then proceed to gradually dc over the next 15 minutes as I try to find anyone on the map, friend or foe. (a side effect of the dc was the inability to redeploy)
Vehicle controls are a bit wonky with acceleration and turning on the same stick. I stalled out inside of 5 minutes trying to turn with my first fighter. (I much prefer r2 accelerate and then turning with stick, but couldn't seem to find that scheme in game, probably was too distracted to notice)

My opinions:
When it works and there are other people around its pretty fun, though when you don't have enough people to properly defend the capture points it ends up being a rather frustrating game of hide and seek where both sides keep sneak capping A, B, or C while you run to re cap the last one they took. And if you try to stop them, they just finish and are gone by the time you get to the correct building.
I'll probably make NC and TR characters in the other 2 slots to test those out over the rest of the week.

So any tips for a rookie?


P.S. Did they just send out a code to everyone who signed up, or was this related to the country thing? I selected U.S. and I only initially signed up for the beta in January this year.

Is there finally an opportunity for players from other countries to play the game yet without having to create US accounts.

I've also heard of no concrete manner by which non US players can get into the game which is a ******* huge pain in the ass.

So I still need to apply to the beta and then can use my code to access it?

I'm not EU mind you and NZ/AU will this affect me?

your not missing crap on the US side.. i just keep making new alts to play in Kotlyr, there's no pop outside of it.. i guess the 3 main outfits schedule themselves to battle each other on indar but if i wanted that kind of planning where i fight against/with the same elitists every day who always have early bedtimes i would have signed up for planetary conquest in dust. i actually went out and bought hardline which i haven't even forced my self to play. this PS2 beta currently has no appeal without a population. i can't sell the idea to anyone i know when they log out because the huge battle they hear about is 1-12 vs 1-12
