Planetside 2

[Engels]

Can we get an updated roster of who's planning to be on what server, playing what side? I say this because I strongly suspect that my WoT clan won't be playing PS2. In other words, chances are Way and I will be looking for a home.

[Falconeer]

EU here :(

Anyway, New Conglomerate. Are the server names already known?

[Surlyboi]

NC, one of the east coast servers.

[satael]

I'll probably try ps2 again at some point but probably not too soon unless I find a group to play with since the solo player experience is less than stellar (and on a eu server)

[Miasma]

An earlier post said we needed to download a whole new client, is that available yet?

Not until the 20th sadly. Going VS on the Miller EU server myself, playing with EU-Goons.

The beta uninstaller crashes when I try to run it.

Same problem.

[Nija]

I'm playing NC on Connery. (US west coast)

[Yoru]

I'll be playing VS on one of the EU servers; not sure which one yet. Sadly, my PC will be in boxes for the better part of the next month, so I won't get much of a chance to play.

Same problem.

Same problem. Not a problem if they're gonna patch the launcher, but I somehow doubt it. Anyone got a work around?

[Falconeer]

I am just gonna delete the beta folder and to hell with that, confiding that a fresh Steam install will do it.

[Gets]

Uninstaller crashes here too. Fellate me forever, SOE.

[Tale]

They only say these "you must uninstall the beta" things for support reasons. There's probably no reason to actually do it.

[Mrbloodworth]

From all sources, you need to use the launch client. The beta client is dead.

Did some Digging:   http://help.station.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36735

Manual uninstall.

EDIT:

Removing the directory takes care of almost everything related to PS2 (we had our engineers confirm it). The installer from launch will ensure nothing odd is left. The last thing we want is folks not being able to play on Tuesday. -RadarX

Priceless....

[Falconeer]

What is really weird is that the website is in some strange lockdown, with the countdown dominating the scene. I don't know where are you gathering information, but if they keep it this way all we'll be able to do on Tuesday will be starting a big huge download, a few thousands of us all at once. That can't possibly go wrong...

[Mrbloodworth]

Planetside Universe. Also, everyone has to download tomorrow, from Steam or SOE sources.

[Falconeer]

Welp.



 

Also, thanks a lot for the link Bloodworth.

Here's the Launch Faq.


EDIT to add: Detailed uninstall information requiring you to manually remove leftover dlls? Oh my.

But at least it is only one .DLL file and they tell you exactly where it is. Right??


fake edit: BW, where you playing this at? I'll poke at it in a week or two and since none of the AA Alliance guys are around, I'll need someone to shoot in the back with decimato...erm, rocket launcher things.

US East: Mattherson

My old Outfit has scatted to the wind, we had a rather healthy group of EU and US players in many time zones. My End up forming an outfit and taking any alts and mains from the old members. Not quite sure yet. May just roll into BWC as an option, they were part of what was one a multi-outfit alliance with us. It will get figured out over the coming weeks. Until then I do have a group of local friends who will be playing, and you are welcome to join, we use a Vent server, and in game VOIP.

I can tell you this though, may of us are looking at this version way more casually than before. I think a lot of outfits are. Not really a need in this version for anything else.

EDIT: Falc: -RadarX's post refers to the left over .DLL's

[Jimbo]

U.S. East, I'm looking for an outfit.  I guess the more populated server.  PBRsupercool is my game name, TR all the way!

What time can we start downloading?

[Surlyboi]

According to the website, about 13 hours from now.

[Miasma]

Hmm, I won't even be able to start the download before going to work so that it's ready when I get home then.

[Falconeer]

Me and my buddies will be on the EU Woodman Server, New Conglomerate. If you see the [AJEJ] tag, that's us.

[schpain]

Rhea (Aus Server), Vanu

[Gets]

EU NC here most likely. If they have solidified the game engine for lower end systems like they were on track of for a bit I'll play. I just have to figure out how I can use my Sony Funnymoney on the EU servers.

[Kageru]

we got an aus server, we got an aus server... /happydance.

I have no idea what it's called, but since there's probably only one I don't figure I need to.

Planetside 2 - Ultra Graphics No HUD Gameplay

6 minutes to go!

[WayAbvPar]

Going to try to grab our Outfit tag on an East Coast server as NC, then maybe do a TR alt on the WC. I wanna play space hippy but Engels holds deeply held prejudices against them from PS1 apparently  


e- Steam download started. Shockingly getting ~ 3mb./s so far. We'll see how long that lasts.

[Falconeer]

Seems to me that the official website has crashed badly when countdown reached zero. Steam, on the other hand, is downloading full speed (1.2 M/sec in my case) with no problems whatsoever.

[Mrbloodworth]

Word is, restart steam if install or download has issues.


EDIT: Are you guys getting the full client from steam?

[WayAbvPar]

Seem to be, yeah.

[Malakili]

This worked for me.

[Falconeer]

I am going with Steam, absolutely. I actually tried to convince people for a few days that Steam was the way to go, but didn't really succeed. *So far*, seems like I bet on the right horse.
