Re: Planetside 2 - MMOFPS (Free, In Beta)

by **Da-Fort** Tue 12 Jun - 14:41:47

I gave up on trying to ninja a third key. I sometimes tweet using the one account they know I have no key for yet. Like they will spot me through the crowd but yeah.

They still have about a thousand keys so you have got a chance to get in.

by **capitan** Tue 12 Jun - 15:13:57

waaaay too much effort da fort, but props for the perserverance! I'll just wait it out, or play on release

by Jay Scott Tue 12 Jun - 15:58:15

Have you played the game yet?

by **Da-Fort** Tue 12 Jun - 19:43:30

I was motivated. For once.

EDIT: Also, when are we going to get our normal colour back? I am starting to get a headache from looking at it.

I use 2 windows. One for the twitter feed and another to redeem the key. The second screen is used best by going to Planetside 2 and clicking on "Station Account" and logging in. If you get some screen about giving some information just press cancel. Then go to "Enter activation code". Make sure you click on the box where you type the code in. From there you should be able to copy and paste the key. Dubbelclick the key part and alt-tab that into the box. Rinse and repeat. Do not forget to refresh this page! It will log you out automatically.

Now for the annoying part. Twitter will block you after X amount of refreshes during a certain time frame. I made several accounts to combat that. When Twitter denies you access you simply switch account. I made 3 and log out when the last one has been blocked. Logged out you will be seen as a guest so you can use that as your last one. After some time you will be allowed access back again. Use CTRL+R to refresh the page without having to move your hands. The best case scenario is when you refresh and the twitter post comes up as "Now". If you see it 5 seconds in you might be out of luck. Give it a shot though. It might be possible to set this up with macros but I could not be bothered.

That is how I have done it. I also got a second beta key that I gave to one of my best friends. He is not a clan member. He actually messaged me on Steam after years of silence. Going on a leap of faith about Planetside 2. The reason I got it was because I tweeted @planetside 2 about some videos I made showing off stuff. You can also try creating fanart or funny gifs. They do not have to be graphic artist quality. Even crappy editing can be funny. Try to placate the twitter person. If he likes a certain faction try working that as an angle. Do not spam as an idiot. Try to be creative in your tweets.

Not certain about what factions the twitter people are but you can always read their tweets to find out.

<3, MissMurder: NC
^Valkyrie: Loves useless facts. Likes LoTR novels and sweets. I believe NC. Tweets during the weekend.
^Sentinel: TR
^Lancer: Likes to use Direct Messaging to give keys best to tweet during that time. NC
^Tempest: N/A
[BKB] "BetaKeyBill": Likes art and makes you go through hoops. VS

Good hunting!

P.S: The vids I made. Basically begging for keys. I made them quick and dirty.

I was trying alot while the keys werent mixed up didnt try much now.I will try now I think its easier cuz those bots cant take them.

You guys should make a clan there it would be so epic to play with so much coordination you would pwn everyone

Lol as far as i'm aware this is your new normal colour.

by **Da-Fort** Tue 12 Jun - 23:38:16

Well I am waiting for the announcement of a certain feature. One where you have to use a driver and a gunner like the original. PR uses the same setup.
During the E3 demo build they used a more standard BF setup to streamline the experience for all those who have not yet played PS1. Many limitations were set only for E3 but I am hoping that it is only temporarily. I am also hoping to see Generators, Nanite Silo's and vehicle terminals inside the big bases.

I know the devs are talking about everything that used to be in Planetside 1. They frequent a big fan website. If they keep the depth of the original I will be very happy. During beta I hope they change the weapons so they are a little less powerful. We will have to wait and see what the Planetside community will be demanding in the upcoming months.

As far as coordination goes. I am willing to squad up with a couple of the clan but I think most will stay to their PR and Arma as the game is not realistic enough. Fair enough but maybe be more open to these things. BF2 was not realistic but was still fun. If there are more than enough people willing to play then I am certain we can set up a Platoon consisting of several squads. Possibly even starting a section in our clan with recruitment as an optional choice. Although I do not want to get ahead of myself.

Why? Was there any reason?

by Smurf_cfc Wed 13 Jun - 0:26:46

Every clan member (apart from admins) went to 1 colour, was purple now pink lol

reds choice. Saying that barracks members will go orange soon, pink is soo 2012 Wink

by **Da-Fort** Thu 12 Jul - 9:53:05

Lore made by a fan-based community. Some images were borrowed from other sci-fi series, movies, games and images. Part 5 is still being made.

Spoiler:

Da-Fort you nerd

by **Da-Fort** Fri 27 Jul - 23:06:16

Closed beta starts in less than a week. Probably in waves.

by Jay Scott Sat 28 Jul - 0:01:54

Hardcore followers get access first then yourself and others who got it from twitter etc.. and then to the public. Are kev says this Monday beta is here?

by JToTheDog Sat 28 Jul - 13:39:12

Yeah I'm not getting my hopes up that it starts next week. Sceptical as feck.

by **Lovvi** Sat 25 Aug - 13:31:12

Everyone with a twitter key can now play! Servers should open @ 6pm UK time

by zurf3r Sat 25 Aug - 13:35:41

by **heavyweather** Sun 2 Sep - 2:09:22

I got in the beta, turns out it's really easy.

Go here: http://www.curse.com/betas/planetside-2-beta-key

Make an account. Get a key. Redeem the key on the Planetside site. PROFIT!

Mine is downloading now. Can't wait to play this with y'all.

by **Bounty** Sun 2 Sep - 2:17:21

There are no keys left, it says.

by trooph Sun 2 Sep - 13:14:30

I dont know if someone posted it but...
Heres a quick way to get in to beta

http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f11-off-topic-discussion/68867-planetside-2-pc-game-12.html#post1810092

Sorry for my lazyness

by Jay Scott Sun 2 Sep - 13:17:52

Gotta be from the states or Crapanada.

by **Bounty** Sun 2 Sep - 13:35:32

Again, the keys on that site have run out.
If it was worth sharing I would have got you to that site one way or another.

by trooph Sun 2 Sep - 15:33:00

Anyways...if someone is looking for some team play. Jump in EU 2 server on terran side

and add Trooph1

by **Bounty** Sat 8 Sep - 0:13:25

I've just been planetside! WHOOOOOA
It got dark just now, so I did a big night fight as terran, was playing Medic and Heavy assault, the proximity voice is a really cool feature. Flying is going to take some getting used to.

by **Da-Fort** Sat 8 Sep - 12:11:58

Flying is still work in progress. They changed the way it handles in the last patch. Now you can hover more decently and land a lot more easily. Joystick support is not ready yet as flight may change.

As far as weapons go I would suggest unlocking the IRNV scope and the foregrip. If you can also the silencer. These take a lot of cert points and I would only suggest unlocking them on the kit you use the most. After that, whatever you fancy.

EDIT: For those of you who might be interested in some gameplay footage and you are not in the beta yet. Tell me if these videos are not working. I have them unlisted. Also the first one is quite loud. I lowered the volume of Mumble after it.

TR Armoured Zerg

Flash Attack Fail

Zurvan Assault

Defending Indar excavation site

by **capitan** Sun 9 Sep - 21:16:37

Downloading right now, what server we on?

by **Da-Fort** Sun 9 Sep - 21:20:05

I think somebody mentioned they where on the EU 2 server. Join whatever faction you so desire.

by **Bounty** Sun 9 Sep - 21:22:10

I play on EU 2, bunch of PR and [F|H] folks on there, seen on TR and NC

Here's what I did yesterday

by Jay Scott Mon 10 Sep - 10:10:41

OMFG!

by **capitan** Tue 11 Sep - 8:50:33

Played this all yesterday evening, got in a couple of decent VOIP squads. Had a blast! Its most certainly a true beta, but its fairly solid at the moment and lots of fun to be had,

Pretty sure you killed me at one point bownty? On EU2, I assume "Bownty" is you?

by **Bounty** Tue 11 Sep - 10:11:41

Yes! That's my NC name, for TR It's "Bounty" and VS it's "Bawnty".

Wait, I didn't notice, where was this?

by **capitan** Tue 11 Sep - 11:18:56

I can't really remember where, but my squad was assaulting an NC base, we were coming down a hill, 12 or so of us hiding behind a few large rocks, and I walked round, and you got me.

Well I'm TR only atm, "capitan", NC seems a bit OP and very popular, I like to play the underdog.

by **Bounty** Tue 11 Sep - 11:37:49

OH! Yes indeedy, West side of the map, you guys had a whole squad with a max and a handful of medics, I was running around the rocks and getting you on the left and right edges.

VS is more the underdog, and I prefer TR too. I'm okay with NC so far, it's VS I've found to be OP

by trooph Tue 11 Sep - 11:53:37

U guys looking for a squad member?
Add me to Ur friends list

Trooph1 is the name. Server EU2

by **Bounty** Wed 12 Sep - 13:52:26

TR FOREVER!

Gonna make some dudes after I've finished downloading Black Mesa. Someone's gonna have to show me the ropes

by **Bounty** Mon 17 Sep - 23:28:08

Shaydee wants to play tomorrow, probably going to play TR... servers open at 2PM BST!

by **capitan** Thu 27 Sep - 17:05:19

You tried this yet scotty?

by Smurf_cfc Thu 27 Sep - 18:38:22

this looks good, is it free? where and how big.

by **capitan** Thu 27 Sep - 19:34:52

it will be free, currently in beta, you can sign up to get a key on their website.

www.planetside2.com

bear in mind, its a proper beta, quite major things change based on player feedback and its fairly buggy. its also far from optimised performance wise

by Jay Scott Thu 27 Sep - 20:26:21

Elo dude, no mate am useless av tried but got frustrated.. gunna need to go through team viewer you no cap.

by Quobbler Thu 27 Sep - 20:29:03

yes, lagging for me very often. sure there are bugs, its just the beta ;3 but i already love the gameplay

by bornasm222 Sat 29 Sep - 21:13:25
