Planetside 2

[PGHammer]

Shocked no one on Neowin is playing this. It's a great game that is completely team-play centric.

Things had been relatively tight as far as getting into the current beta has been - I found an account waiting for me *yesterday* after weeks and weeks of coming up empty.

My current system is under the current power curve; however, it's because my CPU is a first-gen Intel quad-core, while my GPU is the AMD HD5450, and it's still more the CPU than GPU.

I'm working on getting upgraded hardware-wise, and it's still a fun game to play besides my system being too wimpy. (And that is despite having a transport shot out from under me, and getting whacked by a tank - twice - in a hasty defense.)

So for the second time in as many weeks I've gotten an email saying I've been accepted into the beta for this game. And yet when I follow the instructions in the email there is no actual way to download the client. And a quick look through their forums shows I'm not the only one this has happened to.

Anyone else experience this and find a way to get the client to work?

Nope. It just takes me to their front page.

I remember back in August many people had the same problem, but I can't remember how to fix it. I would upload the installer, but it would be better if you contact SOEs customer support @ http://help.station....tail/a_id/10404

[trag3dy]

Nvm. As soon as I posted this it got sorted out. :wacko:

[Lindkvist]

Got 1 key for grabs, if anyone needs it.

first to reply here with a request, gets it.

I'm only handing out to active members, since last time i gave a key away,

it was a 1 post member who didn't even bother to say thank you, after getting the key.

(i wont be home for next next couple of hours, since i have to go to work today)

[Fugi]

I'll be playing, i'll be sure to post my username once my game installs!

[McCordRm]

Any more Keys for this?

[McCordRm]

Well, I tried to get the Beta up and running but I keep getting

an "insufficient storage" error when it goes to patch. I've searched

the knowledge base at the SOE website but it had nothing, and there

are numerous complaints in the official forum with no answers.

I'm leaning towards avoiding this game all together.

[Lindkvist]

You're welcome...

Regarding that issue, they seem to have hard coded a 10gb free space limit, and putting it one a SSD drive seems to cause that error too.

[Tech085]

I just sign up for the Beta if any free keys you have for Beta you can let me know through PM, Thanks!

[Shaun N.]

I've got 4 spare beta key's, first PM's get them

[Jub]

I've got a few beta keys too. Just PM if you want them.

just joined, man, what are up with the land vehicles, like the quad bike? its so unresponsive and dull.... flying is not bad, gameplay is challenging so far

[StrikedOut]

Joined a couple of nights ago and am loving the game so far. Didn't play for too long so still getting used to the way you progress but is superb for a free to play and I haven't had any issues at all.

Not only that but whoever thought making the 1st person view the default on the quad should be thrown out an airlock :D (By the way you can press T for 3rd person view if you guys didn't know)

Downloaded last night.

Played for a while.

Didn't had a clue what to do or what I was doing. :wacko:

Got away with 3 kills and 0 deaths anyway. :p

By the way, the loading times are looong

[Pupik]

By the way, the loading times are looong

Define "looong". Played for 24 hours (according to steam) and didn't really noticed that the loading between spawns and even the initial loading of the game are anything special in the length department.

Especially with the size of the maps and the number of players on screen.

Are you playing on a crappy laptop?

Well, the time between spawns is usually 30 seconds for me. And no, its a gaming, sort of, PC, not a laptop
