Dedicated magrider fag reporting in. But could do nc as long as i get to cert jackhammer and adv. hacking so i can steal magriders. Also, reavers are NC exclusive now, yum.
Resubbed to planetside 1 out of boredom. Sad to see the population so low that sneaking an AMS into an empty enemy base and capturing it 15 minutes later feels like cheating and not valid strategy.
Let's go NC!! I loved reavers!Originally Posted by Derpy'eart
We going for an NC rapeathon then?
Although i was looking forward to the VS boltrifle
Will be very disappointed if TR isn't the choice, fuck futureMURKA patriots. I want to be evil with a minigun.
afaik the game is going to be sharded anyway, 6k per server max population...I'd assume you'll probably be able to find a server with underpopulated [faction] somewhere
NC seem fine though, v0v
I'm not sure which is stronger; my allegiance to the NC or my allegiance to FHC. I hope we do go with NC so I doesn't have to be tested ...
If 1400's taught us anything, it's that alpha is king. I may have to have a VS side character though just to see how OP the Scythe is going to be.
im giving up on twitter get a key spamming ...its fucking useless
This.
Also, it's less "allegiance to faction x" and more "to stop me raging at all the retard scrubs" that i'm willing to swap faction to whoever FHC decides to roll as
Worth posting that PS2 took away 3 awards from PCgamer - best of show, best shooter, and best mmo.

Watching the stream I wasn't too sure I liked the map. But looking at the high res version it looks like it will be pretty damned nice. A lot of detail there, lots of terrain features that should make for interesting gameplay. Bottom right is going to be the place to be with all the canyons, should be easier to defend.

Just have an FHC outfit for each faction on three servers.
That kind of goes against the spirit of planetside though which is to choose a faction and get attached to it
fuck the barneys and smurfs tbh TR for life.
I doubt we'd have enough people to make 3 useful outfits.
Whatever you say, I had characters on all sides and enjoyed them all. Silly to cordon yourself off from 2/3rds of the content.
Does 6k per sever seem pretty low to anyone else?
eh, a bit. It's 6k PCU, which means even assuming they do as well as EVE starting out they need ~10 full load servers (20 with some overhead) to handle 60-70k players online at once. That's not too terrifying.
It's also worth noting that they've described it a lot as a '2k per continent' cap, which suggests that they might be able to relax it further by adding new continents to the mix.
although, per continent, 2000 people in 64 km^2 seems like it's going to be positively cramped tbh.
Indeed. That's 4x as many as the old poplock on an area only 28-56% as large. If they all congregate it could get rather hairy. Or awesome. Depends on how it works out.
The map is also less open than PS1, so the combat should be much more close quarters, meaning the map may not need to be too large. May still be pretty crazy, though. I'm mostly curious as to whether they'll be able to handle 2k per continent on launch. I know they said that's what they're trying to get, but I can't imagine they've actually been able to test that yet so they're probably just speculating based on smaller tests.
One person per 2km of map space is cramped?
Keep in mind that the gameplay from e3 was 30 stations all fighting over one node with severely limited boundaries and they were spawning in FOBs specially made for the demo.
