beta in march

>>124445088

Confirmed or speculation? Because Twitter said "Very Soon"

Within the week

>yfw that tank scale
>yfw Prowlers are the smallest tanks

Mandatory viewing if you're new to Planetside.

>>124445193

february then

Each continent is 8x8 kilometers, and each with different weather patterns and biomes. With confirmed 4-7 continents at release, that is 32x32 to 56x56 total square kilometers.

At release.

I wasn't sure I liked the new Prowler, but damn it looks mean from the front

From left to right:

Vanu Sovereignty - Think flying saucers. Lots of mobility.

New Conglomerate - Big and powerful. No speed or maneuverability

Terran Republic - GOTTA GO FAST

Test of Planetside 247 if anyone wants to watch.
Planetside 247, not Planetside 2.

Man, I remember the fun times I had playing with my friend in a Magrider.

Hopefully I can convince him to play this with me. Shouldn't be that hard though.

very soon could mean a month or could mean tomorrow or today. i'm desperate for a date lol

There isn't much to discuss until the beta launches

>>124447560
Lets start calling Higby a faggot, and stir up needless drama

>>124447855

So is most of /v/ rolling TR, or what?

Allegedly all the people we don't like are rolling VS or NC (if that can be believed)

I'm a vet from PS and have an outfit that's TR anyway, though, so I'll be playing them no matter what

>>124448057
>you will never make ethnic wedding photos with your hot Asian wife
>;_;

>>124448389

My old outfit will be playing NC, therefore so will I.

>>124448971
>Playing the liberal bullshit team
Tool.

Seriously though, have fun. Nothing like rocking the server with an old outfit of bros

>>124448389
I played VS in PS1 but I don't like the direction they're going in this time, too alien for my liking. Unless it impresses the shit out of me in beta I'll probably go TR mainly.

Random /v/ steam groups gathered over the past few days;

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/heavyassault
(community discussion/announcement/news, good shit if you're new and looking for info)
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/vSovereignty
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/NewConglomerate/
No TR yet

>>124449631
And that is weird, cause you think that would be the largest group

Goggles General

>>124449716
I think most of us that want to go TR are smart enough to know that we want nothing to do with a /v/ outfit

So are they gonna have like tons of servers up and each match will have 1.5k players on it or just 1 match only and only the lucky 1.5k players will get to play beta?

>>124451722
>>124451722

Honestly, some people in the chats are not too bad.

>http://www(DERP)twitch(DERP)tv/planetside2

No idea what the deal is with this. It's PS1 gameplay right now and says hes "testing" the stream.

>>124452082
Every /v/ organization starts out with a handful of bros. These are pretty cool dudes, and you have awesome brotastic adventures. Then someone quits. People post recruitment threads. A flood of slackjaws arrive. Gradually the organization is taken over and the brotastics quit or become insular. More recruitment. Some decent people are mixed in but memespamming hits critical levels and the entire thing collapses from a mixture of mad and people getting bored of the game.

This is every /v/ organization ever, the only one that has lasted long term is the EVE corp and even they go through this cycle regularly.

>>124452455
It's this

http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38384

>>124452455

Basically a 24/7 planetside stream

Will switch to planetside 2 when that is out

>>124452064
There are no matches, it's a persistent open world (bar loading screens when you switch continents for example).

>>124452557

I'm not joining a /v/ organization

I'll friends list the bros. When the faggots start swarming in, I'll bail and just hang with the bros.

>>124445448
>We will assume that they all had Jack Hammers and managed to successfully capture the hex from the TR

>>124452557
This is what happened to our clan in apb

6 really cool bros just fucking around playing for like 5 hours literally every day, then we tried to recruit people from /v/ and most of them were cool but most of them only played once and never logged back on again and the core members eventually quit because the clan was dead.

/v/ always claims theres no games to play anymore yet never actually make an effort to give a game a chance you all just run back to /v/ and shit post and complain.

Stop hyping me /v/, i already got my fair share of disappointments.

>>124452693
>>124452707
How disappointing. I figured maybe they knew something I didn't and that the beta might be coming soon with no NDA.

>>124453154
Difference is that the original planetside was and is still great.

If they don't stray from formula much they can't fuck it up.

>>124453313

Speaking of which, there is gonna be a NDA for the closed beta right?

>>124453491
They fucked up the original with every update. It was still good, but not the same as launch

>>124453603
Yeah, but it still plays really fucking well.

Their only major fuckup was BFRs and they solved that by nerfing them into oblivion, even if it means they're irrelevant.

>>124452730
how many worlds will there be? just 1? so only 1.5k players will play at any time and thats it?

>>124453903

What?

There are continents, which will have like 500v500v500 on them (estimates). There will be 4-7 continents at release. And then there will be servers.

So yes, it won't be just one big server. It will be multiple servers with multiple continents within the worlds.

Took this from the PSU forums, I hope the permanent footholds on each continent don't turn every continent into a 24 hour stalemate.

>>124454131
The thing is the scale of the battle shifts massively depending on when a couple really clutch outfits log on at any given moment.

So if a few awesome TR outfits log on, they're going to make a real push forward for the TR. but when they log off, some NC might come on. and so on.

>>124454131
It shouldn't last that long, but the back and forth is kind of what made Planetside so much fun to play.

War, war never changes.

(DoucheCR5LOLLOLOLO: EVERYONE TO MY CONTINENT)

>>124453903
This is how each server looked in Planetside 1. In PS2 each of those continents will have a cap of ~1500 people, the server cap will be higher but no number for that yet.

I hope this game doesn't get infested by chinks like the first one.

>>124454549

The gooks get their own server.

TRay said that the sys reqs are coming soon

>>124454549
They'll get their own servers just like the Europeans
I hope the servers region locked but with like one or two servers that are international

>>124454519

How big are those continents?

>>124454131
I hope they will just be a island off each of the continent. Being on the mainland of each continent would be awful.

I hope /v/ will break the NDA we all know the closed beta will get, or do the loophole from>>124445193 >>124445319 and post pictures/videos.

>>124455224

PS2 continents are 8x8 kilometers.

Planetside had a bunch of different continents
there one where there's a giant volcano in the middle of the continent

I wouldn't put it past SOE to include some sort of "gloomy 24/7 all around DEATH PLANET" with gray skies and constantly raining with usual thunderstorms against rivers of lava.

and since they said AI is a possibility post launch, it will probably have giant black ash sandworms

>>124454805
Those people hated me. I would /comall for people to cert things like flail/liberator/prowler/whatever to form a platoon and go wherever they didn't want to go.

>>124455373
The biggest one (Cyssor) was around 6x6 km.

>>124455677
>AI
I wouldn't mind them as long as they aren't fucking everywhere

>that feel when Infiltration suit and a Wraith with a trunk full of ACEs

>>124455677
Environmental hazards? Yes please. Also yes Planetside did a good job of actually having a pretty diverse set of battlefields, terrain wise.

>YFW The Ashworms aren't nearly as big of a problem as the volcanoes themselves.

>>124455821
And for comparison, Oblivion's map is also about 6x6 km.

>>124456135

>Maps significantly larger than Oblivions
>1500 people fighting
>Multiple numbers of them

OH GOD MY BALLS

Also, that's a great server number. Let's say they have 6 continents, that's a solid 9,000 people per server, with more to come as more continents are added.

>>124456311
they plan on adding planets other than auraxis

>>124456311
For all its (late life) faults, Planetside did an amazing job of cramming several hundred people in one theater of battle without the game becoming unplayable. I have high hopes.

Eight-year PS veteran here. Got my Station account set up with a Planetside account, just in case. Waiting for that beta invite.

>>124456417
I see that as something much further down the line, probably the second expansion.

>>124456674
Have they said what they're considering a veteran for first beta access?

Considering I dumped 800 dollars in sub money into planetside I doubt I have anything to worry about, but it would still be nice to know.

>>124456867
Yup.

As someone who played for a few years like 7 years ago that makes me very happy.

>play PS1
>lost account
>registered for beta with new account
>bought Planetside again just so it's on there (but having fun in the free month anyways, this game is still great)

I hope that's enough for them to let me in

>>124457063
>yup

soooo what are they considering a "veteran"?

>>124457323
I really hope they don't mean launch, I didn't play planetside until early 2004

Sup guys, I don't have proof nor will you get any but I have seen and know quite a bit about the alpha. Its in alpha right now, lots of internal testing and the main focus is stability on server side right now, as soon as that gets hammered out beta invites will be rolling out. Looks like 1-3 months just depending.

>>124457441

I got vet status and I didn't start playing until about the same time.

>>124457441
It'll probably just be "Have you paid us money (AKA Is Planetside on your account)"

>>124457323
I assume they'll just send beta offers by sorting their current players from oldest to newest, then not current players who registered for the beta from oldest to newest, then everybody else in the order they signed up for the beta.
That's how I'd do it.

>>124457549

Stop this.

Every time a new game comes out, we always get some faggot who is like "I'M IN THE BETA I HAVE NO PROOF WHATSOEVER BUT ASK ME ANYTHING XDDDDDD"

Just stop.

Post proof or shut up.

>>124457653

>having fun at work

Whatever happened with those empire-themed t-shirts they were selling, or giving away in a contest?

>>124458528
They burned them because the contest was shit.

>WE ARE TOMORROW

>>124458528
WE TOMORROW NOW

That permanent stronghold thing sounds awful. So you can never kick them out, just make them really sad and push them behind their invulnerable super fortress?

>>124458820

Essentially the same things were in PS1.

>>124458820
So it's sanctuary without a loading screen.

>>124458820
when met with enough force they can be overtaken, sorta like sancs without loading screens.

>>124454805

>mfw we lose 2 continents to a small group of TR cause people are too busy 'having fun'

>>124459104

Still it's a shame. The fact that you had to go through entire continents to get footholds into the next was a really cool thing about planetside that made the entire global conflict feel connected, even when the battles were separate. With the new system, it'll be more like a bunch of different servers instead.

>>124458926

There were permanent sanctuary links, but only to certain home continents, not one on every continent. It gave each empire a certain degree of territory, and it made fighting on an enemy empire's home continent all the more desperate for both sides because it was like being at their doorstep. With the new system there won't be that feel anymore.

>>124459424
>>124460002
point taken, have they confirmed no lattice between continents anymore?

>>124460002
nah it would have more different feel, think about this
sanctuaries could never taken over, but now home footholds which basically act like sanctuaries can, this provides more of a 1% feeling without being 1% your home base on that continent is taken over, you must get it back to get the resources that it has

>>124460390
I think so. Capture time depends on how much of the surrounding territory you own now, so you can capture a base (or piece of land) behind enemy lines with no 'links' but it'll take forever. And when they come to take it back they'll be able to do it in a fraction of the time, since they own all the land around it. Still you could probably do holds with a good squad.

>>124460686

It can also be helpful for the frontlines. You take a point and then coordinate your team to push as soon as you take it. Bam, you can take all of those territories that much faster.

>>124460002
In 2 years of playing the original as Vanu, I only ever played on 3 continents. The ones that had sanctuary links were almost never fought on, at least in my experience.

I think the new system is better, since it will lead to more variety in combat and more 3-way fights (because of the old continent network it was almost always 2-way fights in PS1). If they add some special bonuses for pushing an empire back to their sanc gate than all the better.

So if there's a sanctuary on each continent for every team, what's going to determine what continent people fight on?

Or there just going to be fighting on all continents all day erry day?

>>124461049
it allows for big clashes over land rather than 90% of the fights being taken at a base.

The best fights were the fights that weren't around bases

>>124461193
It's not really a sanctuary because it can still be captured.

>>124461355

Oh? What is it then; like a base that is hard for opposing teams to capture, and relatively easy for your team to re-capture?

How do you take it back if you lose it?
Do people still have to go through the warpgate there?

>>124461355
Where did you hear this? I thought Higgy said they can't be captured...

>>124461744
>>124461744

It's the territory most tucked away into your side of the continent. It is EXTREMELY hard to take. Both from the concentrated nature of friendly troops, and the fact that it's a fucking fortress. It's basically the last stand of a faction on that island.

>>124446766
>Weather will play an important role
>Players can hide in Volumetric clouds, use snowstorms for cover, thunderstorms to disrupt radar, so forth

Will the game provide blowjobs too?

This is almost too good to be true. I'm being promised heaven here, a free ride and an entrance ticket.

I don't wanna get bounced when I get there.

>>124461882

same here.

Unless it just means a permanent link like the old sanctuary lattice link, not a permanent base.

an uncapturable fortress just doesn't feel right, since it'll essentially make the surrounding area uncapturable too.

http://geek.pikimal.com/2011/07/08/mmo-update-all-you-need-to-know-about-planetside-2/
>Empires will now have footholds on each continent that can’t be captured – although it is fully possible to contain an empire within their foothold.

ITT: People misreading things

I like the idea of footholds, especially with resources since before that dropship center didn't matter because you can pull it from sanc, also the feel of being pushed backed into a continent and having to have a massive force retake some land gives me a boner THE SIZE OF IDAHO

Is the upcoming beta NA only or is it including Europe?

what faction is /v/ going?

>>124463453
All of them, stop asking.

>>124463388
NA and EU
>>124463453
All of them on different servers (since you are locked to one faction on each server to prevent 4th faction shit and spying)

>>124463717
fuck off u fucking nigger /v/anu 4 life u mad? u jelly? VANU VANU VANU xD

>>124463453

Planetside is pre 4chan, and faction loyalties run deep. Pretty much anyone who played the original is already spoken for faction wise. Expect heavy faction rivalry here once it comes out.

>>124464141
Except for all the smart ones who realize that Vanu is not only the best faction overall, but also makes the most sense for /v/.

>>124464067
I chuckled heartily. You sonuvabitch

>>124464141
This interests me, because I only played Planetside a little at a friends house, years ago. He was VS, but I've taken a liking to TR since PS2 was announced.

I guess I'll be forced to murder him, time and time again.

>>124464613
Why because they're all gay, or the HURR DURF GREEN AN PURPLE XDDDD

>>124464141
I don't know why we can't just be like reddit who just votes for one faction to play on, then play on our alts
inb4
>reddit
They are pretty much loyal to planetside and keep the questions direct to Higby who reads them

>>124465342
>le reddit

>>124445619
That's it? I guess I'm asking too much, but that's only decent compared to supcom

>>124465213
Or because their name starts with a V, and they're blatantly the least shitty faction lorewise. Also Reddit is going NC and 9gag is going TR.

>>124466136
...it's a MMOFPS

Is it F2P or subscription based monthly pay?

>>124466136

what? that kind of scale in a multiplayer fps is only precedented by the original planetside.

What other game even compares?

>>124466136
You're comparing an FPS to an RTS you dumbfuck.

>>124466361
F2P

>>124445448
/v/ should decide on two factions and a server.
Then we could occasionally gang up on the third faction just to screw with them (dividing the territory in half and just leaving them with their safe zone)
Just imagine the tears.

>>124466361
F2P with cosmetic cash shop

>>124445619
So there are 4-7 continents per server?
Can you go between them seamlessly?

>>124466809
>seamlessly

No, they're connected by warpgates with a loading screen in between (and possibly a queue if the continent is full).

Also 8x8 km is plenty. It took almost an hour to run across Cyssor in PS1 and that was only 6x6.

>>124465342
No vote will be needed.
Eventually the hivemind effect will take over and the majority of /v/ will pick one faction.

>>124467071
Not the same in ps2
The engine allows for large seamless worlds, the warpgates just jump you to other places in the area

do you really think 8x8km is big enough for thousands?

>>124448649
what the shit lol??

>>124466809

aside from a loading screen.

They're connected by warpgates, you don't actually fly between the continents. But in planetside 1, the continents were all linked by the facility lattice, and you needed to have the warpgate facilities under your control to push the offensive on to the next continent, and any facilities you captured on the other side would get the lattice benefits through the warpgate.

>>124455381
>Implying VS hovertanks won't dominate there

Not that I'm complaining

The engine is able to create seamless worlds, so warpgates will be used to get to an area quicker

>>124467302
I think so. PS1 only supported 400, but even then the battle was usually centered at a single base with the rest of the continent almost empty. Now we'll have front lines across the entire continent instead, should be pretty great.

Planetside noob here. Well technically... I can't get planetside for some reason. I created an account then hit the subscribe button and was taken to an "Oops. Where'd the page go?". Billing doesn't give options for Planetside purchase and the download button is grayed. Any help?

>>124457653
I will continue posting stuff thats not super revealing, I can get away with very basic stuff or stuff thats going to be announced shortly.
>>124457549
Yeah because i'm going to give myself away and get sued over an NDA, fucking smart.

>>124468095
ps1 supported 250vs250vs250 at launched and battles were fought on more than just one base

>>124468318
I dunno, when I set up an account for my little brother last year I did it through Direct2Drive on the Planetside homepage. Everything worked fine, just had to activate the game through the Station Launcher and then I could change subscription options from there too.

>>124468642

PS1 supported 500 man fights, first with no limits on ratio, so one faction could zerg 500 people on a cont and free cap it.

Then with 60:40 split, so whoever zerged faster got the advantage.

Then with even 166x166x166, then reduced to 133v133v133.

I....I wont get hyped.


I been hurt to much planet side, its not you. Its me, I think....I think its better if we stop seeing each other for a while you know. I cant deal with this right now, I cant deal with more heart break....

>>124469171
Come on Anon, you know you want it. Look, I'll even put away the BFR. It's gone, see? Just... try it.... please respond.

Does the TR max armor look... odd only to me?

A bit overdesigned, maybe?

>>124469450
The in game model will have a face cover
>>124469581
I like the details since they will be most likely shown in game

Fuck yeah, best one of the bunchIMHO

>>124469581
Overdesigned to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies

So we have
>>124469450
Starcraft marines
>>124469581
lizards LOOK AT THOSE FINGERS
>>124469683
and overweight Spartans.

>>124469581

So I guess Trammel Isaac is a huge weeaboo

>>124469581

It's cool, but I'll miss the beefy look of the original.

The original TR and NC maxes always looked derpy to me though.

>>124469881
>yeah bro everything is taken over from animes
jesus fucking christ I hate when people do this
>yfw he clearly says that the designs are based off insects and have more alien design

Don't you fucking 404 on me.

SOE just partnered with a big German media company (owns lots of TV channels around Yurop), so expect to see some PS2 commercials on TV around release.

Looks like they're also getting licensing rights in Europe, not too happy about what this could mean...

>>124469581
Head reminds me of Aliens xenomorphs.

And that rifle is the Covenant sniper from halo.

>>124470034

That could work well.

Space marines has been a western concept. Mixing it with anime could give out some whacky and fun results.

Well, the BFR's were pretty much Evangelion units anyway. The VS one was even purple and green, and was humanoid. You know, with having a consciousness and acting on it's own on an individual level. You'd have to synch up to a core as well.

>>124472155

>>124472155
I flew a flight variant of the VS one, and it was far from being shitty.

The anti-air was terrible, but the anti-vehicle guns were excellent. AI was so so, excellent against infantry, but lacking anywhere else. But, thanks to it's incredible accuracy, it was still decent because you were almost always guaranteed a hit, and you were guaranteed many hits.

The AV was nothing short of amazing. Tanks, many of them, had to run because they had no chance. The flight VS BFR doesn't only pack a punch and is able to take much damage, it is also fast. Appropriate lockdowns means you can outtank even enemy BFR's.

The only thing you need to watch out for, is getting too far into enemy fire, and enemy aircraft, which can prove to be a serious nuisance.

The backstory says otherwise, and I was trying to tie it up with being weaboo.

It doesn't matter what the back story says, it's how the mechs play, and they play and look closer to mechwarrior

>>124473357
Agreed on the gameplay, but there's naturally more to it than that, it's not something you can ignore.

Anyway, on weeabooism, some of the designs in mechwarrior are Macross-inspired, so that's enough anyway.

>>124474230
Mechwarrior is cool and Macross is cool because they have mechs that are more militant grounded-in-reality-yet-futuristic mechs

>>124472712
Really hard to discuss weapons for Planet Side. There were so many buffs and nerfs and changes to how they worked.

It sounds like you played the VS one after the flight variant nerfs.

Before them, the VS AA worked exactly like the MAX. You just had two of them and four times the ammo. I single handedly cleared the skies of galaxy drops and everything else. If they bailed out, it was easy to run the person over because the VS FVs legs were so close together. I distinctly remember logging off with 100 kills and no deaths one night with that thing.

After the FV nerfs, the AA for each empire was meh all around. the TR one was the best remaining just because you could jump towards them while shooting, causing the bursts to go off at almost the same time. Obviously this would instagib.

>I pick Vanu because lol purle and green like piccolo dick XD DAILY DOSE

>>124475520
why do people keep saying this?

is it because they are dumb? I think so.

I play vanu for FANCY ALIEN TECH that might also be the doom of us all, but who cares about that part.

though I really wished they combined the alien tech with human tech, and didn't want to JUST use alien tech.

>>124475684
>why do people keep saying this?

Probably because every other thread there is some retard screaming about how Vanu were made for /v/ because they are purple and green

>>124475877
why do people keep saying THAT?

is it because they're dumb?

also yes.

the reason to pick vanu is if you love amazing and probably dangerous technology.

>>124474711
I played a bit after summer this year, just to get back in to show I had an active account for PS2.

I actually got the kills needed for one then as well, with that slow variant. It was an incredibly frustrating experience, since you had to land the killing blow, 15 times, without dying. Moreover, even when you killed something with passengers, it only seemed to count once.

I don't know if they were nerfed further after summer.

In any case, I could be effective with it, but it took some planning and maneuvering, for instance, you've got to know when it's time to go. Your BFR is very fast, and you CAN get out of a situation if you so wish to.

This is why I'd never recommend jumping in to battle, you NEED that jump to get out if you need to. Not to mention, your shields go down once you're in the air. So when you're out of shields, jump. Otherwise you've just wasted your best protection, the regenerative shield. I think the BFR goes at least 60 mp/h or even more full speed, and that is pretty good for a big lumbering thing like that.

that feel when banned from youtube for 2 weeks because you called the nigger on that planetside dev video a nigger...

in during some filthy anti-freedom leftist tells us that hate speech isn't free speech.

Free speech is designed to protect unpopular speech, that's the whole point, there is no "reasonable restriction" on freedom.

Before people get too big a weather boner, keep in mind that weather might not make it into the games launch. It sounds a lot like the game will ship in sort of a 'open beta' stage and be continually built upon from that point onward, a bit like Minecraft and Terraria did.

>picking something other than TR

Stop right there, Rebel Scum

>>124476253
SOE DEV GENERAL?

>>124476171
YOUTUBE IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT THEY DON'T HAVE TO ALLOW FREE SPEECH YOU IGNORANT NIGGER

I mean fuck, it's a constitutional right, that means the GOVERNMENT has to deal with it. If a private organization says you can't say shit on their own board, they are the boss there.

>>124475684
vanu = filthy commies.

>>124476171
He's an awesome nigger though. I'm glad he's on the team, the first time I saw him, I was all "that black guy is going to be awesome", and I was right.

>>124476347
My point is, these fucking liberals whine about government censoring them, and then they turn around and censor everything that offends themselves.

It's wildly hypocritical and they try to justify it with illogical irrational bullshit like "hate speech"

fucking tyrants.

>>124476401
He's probably responsible for the art direction in some of your favorite games.The man has been in the industry a long time.

>>124476495
THAT HAS NOTHING TO WITH THIS THREAD OR YOUTUBE, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE

I think the dude is awesome, but I wonder sometimes about his thought processes.

It seems like everyone but the TR are black.

There is no division between race in planetside. The only thing that divides you from others is your faction.

You could be asian, white, black, and probably all sorts of colors if you'd like.

>>124476861
stop being a fucking white knight on 4chan you nigger

>>124476755
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR /b/ SHIT CHILD

this is a VIDEO GAMES board. if you want to complain about getting banned because you have no social graces, or because there are tyrants trying to control speech in public discourse, take it to /soc/

man, what a bitch.

get the fuck out of here, stop crying you got banned.

I know

But in most of the promo pics almost everyone is black. It's just an odd thing I've noticed

>>124476886
hello faggot, in the REAL WORLD people divide themselves along ethnic and racial lines. There is a reason why its only homogenous societies and civilizations which have succeeded, it's the heterogenous ones which fall apart.

>>124476708
implying he didn't ruin the art direction on all these games?

How do we get into the beta? Is it open?

>>124477341

It's closed and you sign up and pray to the gods for a spot when they start sending out invites.

I played Vanu before I even heard of /v/

>>124477274
report troll, move on.

I hope everyone follows my example.

anyways, I hope they keep the mushroom trees with horror roots. It always made me laugh, as an infantryman, when tanks tried and failed to drive close to me.

>>124477209
and no surprise, it's a nigger who is in charge.

It's the same with all the novels and other sorts of media today, nothing but non-stop nigger worship, race mixing, etc.

>>124477766

It's ONLY WHITES who have this delusional fantasies of race not mattering.

>>124477618
funny how all these liberals always have fantasies of race mixing destroying all unique races, cultures, heritages, etc.

Save the polar bears right? But destroy all unique human races which took hundreds of thousands of years to develop?

Guys, we all know it's a troll.

back onto planetside: do we actually know anything new as of the last two days, or is this all just us going OH MY GOD I FUCKING WANT IT WHY IS IT NOT OUT

>>124477481

holy fuck did we just get a giant influx of reddit users?

>>124477274
>. There is a reason why its only homogenous societies and civilizations which have succeeded, it's the heterogenous ones which fall apart.

I'd agree, but the current most successful nation on earth, the most powerful and the most influential, is anything but heterogeneous....

Moreover, that division might take place in PS2 as well, but what I meant was that there is no race tied to any of the faction, it's all a big blurb, and the only real division is your faction allegiance.

>>124478156

That the beta is starting soon. I think that's about it.

>>124478134
case in point, 2 niggers.

US/french/british experience is that niggers are utterly worthless as soldiers, but apparently in the future all that complex things like science, genetics, reality will magically disappear and we will be left with a raceless utopia.

>>124478156
Nothing new. We should harass higby on twitter.

>>124478135
dude, your trolling has been called. it's obvious.

go take a breather, and try again in fifteen minutes. get a new shpiel. this one is too obvious. all you're going to get are "this guy is a troll" and "this guy is a troll AND retarded for these reasons" posts from here on.

Informed Planetside vets- is there currently anything announced regarding an outfit wars aspect to the game, similar to the little tourney soe hosted in ps1?

>>124478135
>implying culture (which is what you're talking about) has anything to do with race.

You're a fucking retard bro.

>>124478492
no

>>124478261
That is largely my point, it is implausible for any large groups to organize and ignore racial lines.

Look at factions on our earth and possible alliances, asians grouping with each other, europeans, arab middle easterns, south americans, etc

Post nationalist concepts like loyalty to a flag are pretty damn silly and won't stand the test of time imo.

Also: USA was 90%+ white when it was strongest, we're been declining steadily and increasingly rapidly since the non-whites/jews started flooding in and running things.

>>124478482

okay everyone, just stop responding to the troll.

he's new, so he thinks ANY response is a successful troll. and in some ways, it is.

someone go bother planetside folks on twitter until they cough up more info.

Go back to reddit white knight, so you can all circle jerk around upvotes talking about how naughty words are bad for the internet.

Do we know what implants are going to make it into the game and the specifics of how implants will work?

Also what are the odds on a cash shop implant that makes certs skill up faster? They're copying EVE so I'm worried they'll ape that part too

>>124478982
sorry bro but this isn't /b/. No one in /v/ thinks saying nigger is "LOL SO COOL AND EDGY XD"

>>124479245
I don't know one bit about the implants, son. I do know that I will flicker the shit out of darkvision to anal-annihilate cloakers in my MAX suit.

mostly because in the last game they thought it was soooo funny to plant bombs on my feet, no matter how many times I killed them doing it.

I can only remember being killed by that A. when I was new, and didn't get hit by it ever before, and B. when I was already fighting like three dudes and couldn't spare the time to turn around, even though I KNOW the guy is there, because three dudes with rocket launchers is actually more dangerous than those bombs
