The closest we're going to get to MAG this generation. Eurogamer review here - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-07-06-planetside-2-review

Anyone in? It's free to play and I imagine it would be great with a full squad.

If anyone wants to join me I've gone New Conglomerate on the Ceres server.

I tried the beta and couldn't work out how tomato an app move anywere.

Any decent you tube tutorials geared towards ps4 players.
I could well be in.

GooberTheHat

The tomato move is only really available after level 20.

Was in the beta too and v managed to get a couple a classes up to 10ish. Would defo like to not have to lone wolf it though.
Give us a toot if yet firing it up.

I found this one quite useful:

I started downloading it last week, then i read that the EU PS4 servers had gone kaput and been taken offline until they were "fully fixed".

Can i assume everything's up & running?

Rev

Is good fun. But you need a team to make it worthwhile.

@Nexx

What's your PSN?

Everything seemed fine from the hour that I played last night. There were 3 servers up.

My PSN ID is nexx

vicinity_of_pie

Live free in the NC!

Good side/server choice.

Got to rank 10 in the first couple of days on PS4. Played a lot a lot on my own on PC. Holds up surprisingly well on PS4.

isanbard

Right then. NC on Ceres you say. Will do.

I think I've got a Red dude (the middle one iirc?) on a server somewhere but happy to fire on up with some Badgers.

Hulka T

Il check this out too, have to add all you guys!

haha thats a bit of a coincidence that we ended up picking the same combination. Was tempted to go Vanu just because their population seems so low.

Anyway, I'll add all you guys later tonight. I'm only lvl 5 at the moment and still in the starter area.

digi

I went the middle guys (red) on ceres, rank 8 after a wee try last night.
Happy to make a new guy if needed.

Pie and myself are NC so I guess it would make sense to make a new guy. It would be good to have everyone on the same side.

F2p, what's the monetisation model?

You can pay to speed up progression and purchase cosmetic items.

Eurogamer suggested that the monetisation was pretty unobtrusive. You can spend a good amount of time (first 10/15 levels at least?) paying nowt and trying to learn the ropes.

Nexx

Jumping on for a bit now if anyone is around

Hulka T

Grrr my 2 weeks free psn has run out and it wony take my cards lol will get psn tomoz.

digi

Iv just come off to sort little one out.
Back later.

digi

Iv just come of again after around 6 hours play with tred and chucky, squading up sure makes it a lot better.
Squading up is also a ballache.

Tred's rank 15 now so got kicked from noob island.
When its just mayhem everywere its great, when your rolling in a massive convoy of 6 trucks 4 tanks 4 plane type things and loads of quads and infantry and night kicks in it reallly is something else.

Can see me sinking hundreds of hours into this.

digi

Oh and to play with friends you have to add them in game so might be worth having names in op if different from here or psn.

Nexx

Yeah sure, if people can start posting their names I'll update the OP.

Found a useful website for stats, heres me - http://ps4eu.ps2.fisu.pw/player/?name=nexxo

Some interesting population numbers here too - http://ps4eu.ps2.fisu.pw/control/?world=2000

Strange that VS have such a large population disadvantage but good to see 2000+ people on the server.

isanbard

It has a slightly odd system for party joining. Was trying to meet up with you last night nexxo but the option was greyed out. Dunno if it was the Psn wobble or what. Have you left the intro area nexx? Would that matter?

DAQster/DAQster/Ceres/NC

TheDJR

Should I get this?

isanbard

It's free. Try it.

I'm not sure it will tickle your tastes but it's worth a shot.

TheDJR

What do you know about my tastes?!

To join a party or add a friend you need to use the social menu to add them via name (in game name) psn add doesn't work yet (the next patch fixes a lot of these according to the reddit thread).

To join a party the party leader has to make sure there's space for you (12 to a party).
Joining player has to leave his party as your auto assigned a party.
Social >squad >press square.
Invites appear on bottom right when received and it's a swipe left to accept on the touch pad.

I intend to make

Daviedigi/digi/Ceres/NC today.

Yeah I saw your friend request but couldn't figure out how to join you. Sent you a squad invite too but not sure if you got it.

The starter area is instanced so we could have been on different versions of the map which is why we couldn't join each other.

I'll be playing tonight from around 8 on the proper continents if anyone is around.

Howdy, Stranger!
