Anyone else in the PlanetSide open beta? I just got my discs today...installed it a little while ago, and now I have to download about a metric fuckload of patches. Oh well... at least the game looks pretty cool.

fracturedmind

I'm not in it, but I'm interested to hear from some actual players before I go out and get it... it just looks like a bigger game of Tribes now.

Do they have a release date yet? I hope they dont push it as much as Star Wars galaxies.

I'm in the exclusive beta. I must say the game ROCKED until the megapatch on Friday. Now I CTD all the time and the servers have been up and down all weekend.

Otherwise, I like it alot. If you ever thought you might play for a stable Quake server that added content, this might be for you.

I'm also in SWG beta but the NDA is still up on that one.

I got my discs today, but the game won't let me play. I have 234 megs of ram. The game locks you out if you have less than 256, even if you have 254 megs. I'm really pissed.

Anyone know of a crack to let me get by this? I'm willing ot sacrifice a few fps to play this game. Maybe they will change this later.

I hear nothing but good things about PlanetSide. The problem most people seem to be having is they doubt that they will stay interested for very long.

With me there has to be some goals to reach, especially in MMO style games, to keep me playing. I cant run on just the fragfest, I load UT2003 if I feel like that, which is rare.

I'm on citrine as Phaenx. Terran, thinking about switching to Vanu.

Mr_A

AxByC

It doesn't let you for a reason. Planetside eats ram like a mother. 512 DDR? Not enough.

True. I don't know why, but the urge to upgrade my rig came almost at the same time as I got into the Beta My 1gig /512mb ram machine is laggy during big firefights.

Mobo arrived today, case should be here tomorrow.

diergray

I cant wait to try this game!

I just got my discs the other day, haven't tried it yet. But i should have enough ram
1.5 GB :P

Lowman

Personally, I enjoy playing "traditional" FPS' better myself. I just couldn't rationalize paying a monthly fee for this type of gameplay. PS just doesn't have any truely revolutionary ideas that haven't been in other games

AxByC

here are the screenshots i promised.

A big battle to take a base.



A bunch of TR gearing up in a tower.



Me flying over a base.



An enemy tank attacking our tower.




My empire about to take a tower.

I started playing Planetside today, and it's an amazing game. The graphics are wonderful, and it has minimal lag even on my semi-gimped system. I can't wait to get a big outfit going.

portwineboy

ENEMY tank attacking your tower? My friend that's the NC come to liberate you from the confines of your theocratic prison.
<p> I play as JimmyJam for the NC. /tell me if you ever decide to fight for the side of goodness and right.

I'm not sure if I'll pay for it, but I've pretty much stopped playing MOHAA for it. The world is huge, there are many vehicles and many options of things to do. It's what I had always hoped Tribes/2 would be. I've often wondered if I would pay for a shooter that would add content and had a large, stable persistent world. Looks like I'm about to find out.

This game looks pretty sweet!

Ransom342

Yeah, Im in the beta as well.

I usually play under the NC as Ranzer

I love the game when they can keep the servers up for more than 15 mins at a time

Phaenx

I used to drop every 10-20 minutes myself. If you're behind a router disable wan blocking and dmz yourself.

Just got into the beta, and youre right its just like a tribes game pretty much, and ya the only thing I see that might be bad is losing interest, cause you dont really level up, so theres no real reward really and its sorta not one of those games that you can just pop in and get a few kills then leave when youre bored like quake or something.

Phaenx

You bastid!! You killed me earlier. I still say I did well for agile exosuit vs MAX rocket guy.

Phantom#2

This looks like Anarchy Online, which sucked! Im not gonna buy that crap lookalike

AxByC

perhaps you should read about the game before you make an idiotic comment like that.

Phantom#2

Seriously. I aint buying and I aint paying monthly for a game

AxByC

i could care less if you buy it. but to compare it to another game that is completely different is stupid.

Anarchy Online has improved by leaps and bounds from release I hear. It is very different from planet side, which is pretty much tribes online, I won't be paying monthly fee's for it either.

Yeah paying monthly for an fps can seem kinda odd. But 15$ is nothing to be able to play with 1000s online imo.

Anarchy Online and PlanetSide are two different kinds of games....

Anarchy Online is a lot better than it was around release time. Funcom fixed tons of bugs/exploits and added mucho content. To bad my experience with that game prevents me from ever playing it again.

PlanetSide may be worth 12 bucks a month. Right now after a couple of months i can see myself getting bored of capping bases and defending towers. Unless they add more content, i'll stick around for a bit then hold off until something new comes along.
