As soon as I'm in ill log onto vent. We are going to need separate channels for Vanu, nc and tf.
I can't be in the same room as those non purple scum.

Says all the servers are locked? What do?

It's not up yet. And if you downloaded before the servers come up, they said it's likely you'll have to download another patch again.

Hmm Smedley says they've run into some issues and there's no ETA on servers coming back. Here's hoping it is sometime tonight.

I see they have East Beta 1 and East Beta 2.
Any thoughts on where?
I say we go for 2 since most will try 1 first.

I think most of us are on 1.

oh is it up? Been trying. says locked
Edit: nevermind, i see that the old chars are on 1.
ignore me...carry on

I spoke too soon. I checked my email again, and lo and behold, there was my Planetside 2 beta info.

Nope.

That's why I posted they weren't sending them out until closer to server availability.

Is it still too early to tell how the restrictions work for making accounts? I really want to know if you get permanently locked into one empire only. That's what it sounds like so far just reading the stuff about the game I could find. Still haven't seen confirmation one way or another.

Downloading and installing now. Will be Vanu on East 1. Once I find time to figure out how to get everything running.

Servers are up. Look like there are 3 East servers now and a couple of West. My account is on East 01.

EDIT: Well, server's full.

I think so we could avoid full servers, I am going to make a GWJ Vanu outfit on US East 2.

Ok I'll see you there

Scratch that styles. I cant have the same username on two servers. Got to go back to 1

Outfits are still broken and they cant be created. You cant even search for one. Lets just friend each other up.

Sign up with your name so we can all friend up!

Unlock it and I will.

I want to be friends with people! Hurry up and unlock the spreadsheet box!

Yeah! I've played Planetside 2 for four minutes! The server shut down (on purpose) after I got on. Must've heard I was coming.

The most important thing has ever happened. To me, to the world and especially to that guy standing on the corner down the street.

Can you see the difference? You can't? Look deeply into my (his) eyes. You see now? Yeah, you see. Also the text is different but who cares about that.

Anyone know how to get more ammo when you run out?

By the way I love how I can harass the enemy from a high vantage point and point them out to aircraft to bombard or strafe - provided there are aircraft to take advantage of my recon efforts.

Go to a weapons/class terminal and "resupply".

How do you point them out?

To point out an enemy use the Q key. This will highlight troops, vehicles and emplacements for a few seconds. If I can't make a distance shot with my light assault guy I can at least tell snipers, vehicles and other long-rangers where to shoot.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I found where to get ammo. Thanks!

The spotting is much like BF games. Glad it has that as big as the maps are, but it seems most people don't know it's there.

It makes a big difference when assaulting a position with a large force. It's cool to see tank turrets swivel and troops jump-jetting to kill a guy that you spotted - especially if the enemy is trying to flank your friends.

I'm trying to fly and got my Thrustmaster hotas X all hooked up but the game is not recognizing it. Any thoughts? I synced my joystick's axes and buttons but no dice.

You aren't. I have a purple (rank 6), red (rank 2, 20 minutes of engineering) and blue guy (rank 1), all on Server East 01. And since you earn cert points offline as well, no reason not to. Insert obligatoryitsabetaandthingsmaychange note.

Woops sorry about that. It's unlocked now so you should be able to put your info.

Hmm. How much can we talk about the beta? I've got zee questions.

Probably shouldn't talk about the beta outside the beta forums without specific permission from SOE. You are under NDA.
