    Odd that you can't hear anyone else, haven't heard of that issue.

    Yeah it really is, i thought it was disabled at one point but I asked the squad in chat and they said it was working fine. Yeah have it turned on and volume up etc. Might just need a re download or something

    Looked into it. Seems like you gotta get a paid subscription to get access.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,998 ✭✭✭KilOit


    If you can see yourself playing this game you can get instant access with this offer http://www.planetside2.com/alpha-squad
    it's well worth it imo and i'll be buying it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,546 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    IGN are giving out keys to non-prime members now.

    Just got one, so cya.

    You can also buy access now with their alpha squad thing; $39.99 (£29.99) for 4000 station points ( $40), six month of 10% xp and resource boost, founder title, and 12 weapon unlocks.

    TRCycler TRV
    VSH-V45

    Carbine - Balanced weight and controllable recoil allows the operator to maintain accuracy over automatic fire.
    NCAC-X11
    TRT5
    VSPulsar C

    LMG - Features three fire modes, allowing it to easily adapt to most situations on the battlefield.
    NCEM6 LMG
    TRTMG-50 B
    VSSVA-88

    Sniper - Highly accurate and damaging at long range.
    NCLA80

    I'm consider getting it but not sure, SOE had a sale earlier in the week for 2X any points you buy which even with the other extras for alpha may have been better value.

    If i can choose when the 10% boost starts then ye i may get it but otherwise no.

    Anyone playing that has a mic


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,092 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    I do but my voice coms still isnt working for some reason


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,371 ✭✭✭✭Zillah


    I seem to spend 90% of my time in this game navigating terrain trying to get to somewhere a fight is happening, or trying to find a vehicle that I can use to get to where a fight is happening, and then once I get there I either die or we win very quickly, so we're back to the 90%.

    Also I can't customise anything, I presume that is normal for the beta? Does rank do anything?

    What server are people playing in.

    Jumped onto Euro 3 as I wanted to play TR and none of the servers had any extra boost for TR so I jumped onto the one with more TR playing.

    There are no boosts for any side no matter the numbers as far as I've seen. You can also hotdrop to or simply aim for the border zones; that way you'll always be close to the action.

    Said so when starting, assume it playing now as if it was created characters it would break the game a bit.

    Logged on to check there and

    US west 2 has V/TR/NC 25/26/48% of population and a bonus of 4/3/0% to experience and resources.

    The Euro servers were more even on numbers now, so there was no bonus on euro 3 just there.

    I do but there's a limit to it.

    Just joined the Alpha Squad program to get access. Got some nice gear for it too. Downloading now. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,371 ✭✭✭✭Zillah


    I've decided it is really not worth playing unless the servers are very busy, I just spend too much time running around from point to point, both sides passing like trains in the night.

    Speaking of the servers; you'd think they'd be smart enough to have less servers running as the active population declines, so as to concentrate them more, or run smaller maps or do something to avoid having so few people playing on massive terrain. Also, am I a crazy person or is there no way to see how many people are playing on a server?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,546 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Just realize the time so calling it a night for planetside, but it may have been worth it.

    Was in a squad all night till just there and when everyone has a mic it's great. We had a galaxy being flown well and an escort of mosquitoes for good measure for the most part of the night.

    A 12 man tank convoy followed by a few hours/air-drops and we own the continents so suck it everyone wearing blue or purple.

    It's nothing to do with what im using. Push to talk just isnt working for me in game. When I press 'z' or 'x' to talk to a squad or platoon no icon pops up saying that its active. I have it turned on in the options obviously. Coms work in every other game i play too

    Just got email too. So how much eu did that worked out or you? You pay 40$ for all those items included? Or you have to get 40% in to your station wallet to get beta and all the items and then use your 40 for whatever you want.

    35 EUR and you get the 4k station cash to spend on what ever you want in any game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,213 ✭✭✭MajesticDonkey


    Just to remember though, you don't get the 4k station cash until the game is officially released at the end of the year. There's some other small things as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,546 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    last week you could have gotten 4000 station cash for $20 during a sale.

    Still you get a camo/weapon set and 6 months bonus xp, it's an ok deal though.
    There was a triple station cash deal before but i missed that, hopefully around xmas there might be another one!
