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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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