It was pretty enjoyable.

The main issue I have with planetside is that you cant just try out different builds on the fly to suit your situation or mood because of the cert cost of the weapons.

My ideal build?
Infiltrator with a rifle capable of 1 hit hill headshots at range
Decent sidearm for close quarters.
Thats a 1250 cert investment as far as I can tell. Just for something that is basically a starting point in battlefield.

fantastic

It was a fun evening. I’m starting to get the hang of the basics now, it was a bit difficult without knowing the basic layouts of the bases or even how to get into them at some points so I found myself getting left behind a few times 🙂

Played infiltrator for almost the entire time, I tried going engineer at one point to repair the max’s but I just couldn’t get any kills with the engineers weapon. Infiltrator was a lot of fun tough, especially inside that biolab at the end. I was basically sneaking to the vanu’s flanks and then assassinating anybody who stopped for a second with 2 quick headshots from the stock semi auto rifle before recloaking and repeating. The semi auto is also very good for hip firing in close range.

Overall though I was still mostly confused haha. Didn’t know why we were attacking the places we were attacking, no idea how outnumbered we were and no sense of any kind of large tactical manoeuvres going on around me or anything like that.

Happy Birthday you old git

Welcome!

Its pretty basic at the moment but there is huge potential, at the start it doesn’t really seem like they’ve made much progress but the inventory crafting system and stuff like that is pretty good. My first play i spawn right near electro and was just west of the powerplant when a group of 4 players who were armed to the teeth started heading my way. I had no weapons so there wasn’t much i could do. They held me up and then handcuffed me, stripped me of my gear and then one of them force fed me something poisonous! After moving around a bit i broke free of the handcuffs and then pegged it into electro whilst zigg zaggin to dodge the automatic weapons fire. Got out of their line of site but i had taken some bullets and was bleeding but luckily there was a shirt in the building i was in so i tore it up and used the rags as bandages. Next mission was to do something about the poison as my character was making some pretty horrible groaning noises. Made my way to the hospital as fast as i could and started searching it but there was nothing that would help me, by this point my character was stopped to throw up every now and then and i figured it was only going to get worse. Spent the next 5 mins frantically running around electro trying to find somthing that would help until a zombie got me.

Fantastic

Welcome to the gang 🙂
