Who's in?

I'm about ready to pull the plug on WoW, and some regular planetside seems kinda like just what the doctor ordered

maybe

anyways, with a regular crew, this game could be awesome

I've been soloing. Let me know where and when you are playing. I am Vanu on the West coast right now and BR20.

Is Sony running a free trial for it? I played it in beta and it was so-so, but I would be interested in giving it a run if I had a regular group to play it with.

Vanu West Coast! I have All access so I'm game for PS groupage if we want it.

gimme my damn fungal regrowth staff back before you stop doing EQ :\

Post by **Lyion** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 12:10 pm

I'm not stopping playing EQ. I'm trying to get a Shammie server moved so I can level myself when I want to.

That said get All Access and come play PS Drem. I even have an extra account key for PS Core Combat if you need it.

Tikker · Post by **Tikker** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 12:13 pm

Nah it's fine, leave the post as is

that being said

It'd be hella awesome to get a group of 6-10 who're willing to play consistent times/dates and willing to work together

duro and I have messed around with this shit from time to time, and always enjoyed it (just not 15/month)

but with our lack of enjoyment of WoW, and the possibility that PS + EQ + SWG may fill that gap, we're considering it

Post by **Lyion** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 12:19 pm

Try Jump to Lightspeed.. Squadron Space PVP Combat looks awesome. Hell, even the regular space missions are hella fun. Plus I can play 30 minutes, do a space mission and take a break if I want to.

I'm game, and Vanu on West Coast is the sparsest of realms/servers. I'd be good to go a few nights a week for squad combat. I'd bet we could get Kahar in as he has PS, too. Maybe Martrare too.

We're all on Wanderhome SWG if you want to screw around also.

ive been thinking of playing again, i own all the sony games anyways so i might grab the all access pass, ill post here soon with account/ character name(s)

togusa · Post by **togusa** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 5:33 pm

I'm downloading PS as we speak. What server are we planning on playing on, and do we have teamspeak or ventrillo?

Durothil Skyreaver · Post by **Durothil Skyreaver** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 8:50 pm

ik've got a ventrilo server up atm, but still trying to decide if we're playing or not

(shockingly enough, this is tikker again, on duro's machine)

What's it take to be able to fly a ship tho?

Post by **Lyion** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 7:23 am

Your first ship is free. Then you go to Master Shipwrights and buy your next tier ones. Most of the components you use can salvaged from missions.

Ship flight is quite god. You can use a joystick or mouse.

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 12:00 pm

I wish I could try it out. I am a fucking space flight sim God. If you've played the freespace series would you draw any similarities?

labbats · Post by **labbats** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 8:04 pm

I can't fly sims for shit.

I'd like to play planetside, but my schedule is all over the place. And I did log onto Star Wars, but those servers you mentioned weren't even on my list. wtf

Post by **Lyion** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 8:36 pm

Wanderhome in SWG doesnt show up? Weird. I just saw it.

I play US West in Planetside. Give me a Yahoo IM if you want to group there, Labatts.

Is planetside instant gratification? I don't have the patients after EQII or that turdsnack Wurlds 0 Warkratf for any hardcore leveling... are the battle ranks essential to success or can I log on and kick some ass?

togusa · Post by **togusa** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 4:03 am

Well I just started playing I few days ago, and I find that the ranks are somewhat critical, as most people already have them and will own you with the better guns etc. But if you get into a good squad and play with patience, you can still get a good ammount of xp/kills. You just can't run headfirst into a firefight and expect to get three kills.

Post by **Lyion** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 6:17 am

The ranks aren't as important as getting the Alien gear, it seems. I'm BR 20 and was having a tough time with some of the new weaponry

Also, I figured out how to take out the BFRs last night Togusa. There are some tricks to it. The simples way is just to nail it with an assload of missiles from a Reaver.

togusa · Post by **togusa** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 6:56 am

Yea, since I've been sniping I just avoid them. But I don't know if its my lag on the west coast server or if I just suck.. but sniping is pretty tough. Hitting a moving target is out of the question. I think I'm gonna drop my assault vehicle certs and pick up the heavy suit so I can snipe and carry a pulse, then get either special assault or anti-vehicle. But I mostly want my power ranger robot. We should go to the caves tonight Lyion.

Post by **Lyion** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 8:06 am

Sounds good. I need to read up on BFR as its all new stuff to me.
