Tempted to buy it just to use up my game vouchers. But don't think I'd get into it unless I had a few friends playing as well.

So boring playing single player in a multplayer universe :/

Pre-ordered, I am expecting it on the doorstep when I get home, or else there will be trouble [*], mark my words.





[*] trouble = "wah ! I lost a whole day of character training ffs !"

I never really got the hang of the beta, and I'm mass debating with myself as to whether I should buy this or not.

Planetside doesn't seem all that hot either. Lots of time spent travelling to big, laggy fights. :(

Bought it. :)

Planetside's great for me - no lag at all, graphix on max and if you manage to up your command rank and have a few people to play with then you can pull together a decent squad quickly.

Played all day on Saturday and was *so* close to getting a lockdown on one of the continents :D

What server are you using? I usually use Johari and have no probs....

Well, the lag-fest was when they had locked all but one of the servers for stress-testing. I believe there were around 4000 people on it when I was playing, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

It just seems like there is such vast area, which is great, but at the end of the day fights only ever occur with people in your immediate area. I was getting more fun out of the new DoD release.

Still, there's a PlanetSide forum now so I guess I should take my doubts in there.

Never actually looked at Planetside, anyone care to give a brief run down on the differences with EVE ?

smooth as fuck here now I've upgraded mate. Also travelling time??? Takes me 1-2 mins from Sanctuary to warp to a continent and then get right to the action...

Teleporters, MAX, v licence, failing thsi galaxy or HART if desperate. Remember you can use /recall and respawn tubes too...

Nipped into local GAME today and its on the shelf £29.99, was tempted but think I might wait for Planetside..

Hey! I played DAoC for a month or two and quite enjoyed it until it just got boring and I realised I would never reach a reasonable level for RvR unless I spent months playing.

easier to level now :/

spent 25 real time days getting to 50, and people are doing it in less than 10 now

atleast there isn't such a level grind in PlanetSide :)

Really? Maybe its time to give it another go.

PlanetSide is too shallow to be a good RPG, and too simplistic to be a good FPS. I'll have another stab at it, mind.

Getting back on topic, EVE seems to have no sense of immersion whatsoever. :/

mank!

Disagree there Summo. I think the most complex FPS I ever played was Tribes (or T2) and I think that Planetside is looking like that, with bells, persistent continents, thousands of players, rpg elements, many vehicles, levelling and KNOBS on :)

I agree that as a FPS it is very in-depth, but as a RPG (comparing to DAoC and the like) then there's not much too it.

But then, it's not that sort of game. It is a very role-play-like FPS but at the end of the day... oh no, I've gone cross-eyed.

The thing is is that PS is a good game, but I cant imagine that i would want to extend my membership beyond the first month. There isn't enough of an aim to go for, sure its good in the sense that sum1 who has only just started playing can kill a l33t 8hrs a day sad fucker, but it could do with more of a development feel to it.

Also i am guessing the reason EVE dev team gave GAME exclusive selling rights is so that they can get a fair amount of people on their servers to stress test them before the real UK release, instead of it being released nationwide and being branded as buggy. Sort of like a final Beta.

I have EVE. First thing I noticed is that the skills won't train.

Local GAME to where I work have changed my CD, I gotta go out tonight but might get it up and running if I can.

There is nothing more annoying than getting a pre-order and not being able to take advantage of the fact :(
