Want to get PS, want some Q's answerd first!

[mrmegster]

I have a question about PS. A couple actually:

-Whats the monthly fee?

-How would I go about purchasing vehicles in the game?

-Whats the best empire?

-How do u get money in the game?

-How easy is it to lvl up?

Please help me out!

[Bismarck]

13.00 bucks a month, the standard MMO fee.

Using the certifaction terminals on the sanctuary, and at bio labs.

TERRAN REPUBLIC ALL THE WAY.

By going up in level.

At first easier than pie, then it gets harder, much harder.

[mrmegster]

I added a few more look.

Like how long does it take to get money for a plane or tank? I play eq and horses cost like sooooo much money.

[Bismarck]

Well you can buy ANYTHING as soon as you start the game, but choose wisely. A tank or plane is no more than heavy assault (the most expensive thing in the game) or hacking for instance.

I edited my other post, look at the answers to your other questions.

[mrmegster]

Ill try to dl the demo from somehwere maybe, thanks for the help.

[Bismarck]

No problem, the demo is a good way to test out what the game is all about.

But make sure you have the rig first, choppiness and lag can ruin the best of games.

[mrmegster]

the problem is the fee to get on fileplanet :(

[mrmegster]

Let me get this clear: if you put your certification points in the beggining of the game into the Mosquito vehcile certification then you automatiicly get your own vehcile to use? Or do you have to buy or find a Mosquito seperatly or what?

[Setari]

Once you have the cert for a vehicle or weapon type purchased just go to a vehicle terminal and spawn the vehicle..no cash needed..or for guns just go to an equipment terminal, equip the gun and tear ass.

[RUEN]

The problem is with the words "purchase" and "buy" don't be confused, there is no money in this game, there are just certifications. You get to choose what you want to be able to use. the higher the level, the more you can use. Once you're certified for a vehicle, you can get them at terminals across the world.

[Hertston]

The game is designed to be accessible (and fun) to everyone, no matter how long they have been playing. You can do more or less anything from the start and you'll get your first four or five levels (and more cert points) from training and a (very) few hours play.

Aquiring more rank and cert points just improves your character and allows a little more flexibility. For example, you could have a heavy assault/heavy armour grunt right out of training, but with more cert points you can accumulate healing/repair/hacking etc, all of which are useful while not essential to that sort of character. The implants you get at levels 6/12/18 are useful too, but again don't confer super-man status. A newb can kill as effectively as an old hand, unlike the RPGs PS is based on "real" gaming skills not "skills" increasing with each level. Levelling just gives you access to more stuff without trading in certifications . The last point is important.. you can "trade in" skills if you chose wrongly or just fancy a change, but it isn't instant. You can only trade in one skill every 24 hours.

The important thing to remember is that Planetside is NOT a role-playing game, it's a shooter. Levels don't work in the same way, and "money" is irrelevant. Imagine something like Battlefield 1942 with many, many more players, a persistent world and characters, and you'll be on the right lines.

[mrmegster]

Ok thanks, im more used to PvE games like EQ and AC2. I want to try something new and I already like MMO's.

Like about how many people play the game, is it super crowded or superbare or what?

Is it easy to find a group of people to go fight enemies with?

[Lonehunter]

As soon as you enter the game, go to VR training and try EVERYTHING. This will get you to Battle rank 3. Fight for a little while, and get Battle rank 4, easy.

- You get vehivles at your sanctuary
- Best empire? Terran Republic
- There is no "money". The more you kill people and accomplish things in a squad (Ex. hacking a base) the more experience points you get. Once you get so much xp, you'll go up in rank. When you go up in rank you get a cert point. You use cert points to buy things like vehicles.
- How easy to lvl up? I've had my new character Cifer for 3 days and he's already BR9, CR1.

Edit:I'm always at the sanctuary looking for noobs to join my squad, I like helping people out.

[mrmegster]

How many hours per day do you play?

What suks is that i cant find a FREE trial anywhere. I dont want to subscribe to Fileplanet!!!

[Lonehunter]

I usually play everynight from 8:30 PM to 5:00 AM. If you know somebody who allready has the game you can get their 7 day free trial that comes with the game when you buy it.

[mrmegster]

Nope, dont know anyone with it :( (cry)

[Lonehunter]

Then just buy the game and enjoy it.

You will.

And for the empire you want to be, don't just listen to the people promoting their own empires, check these sites out:
http://www.newconglomerate.com
http://www.terranrepublic.com
http://www.vanusovereignty.com

And for the empires strengths
NC: Strength
TR: Speed
VS: Versatality

NC: Strength
TR: Speed

Not specific enough
NC: Strength in weaponry
TR: Fast firing weaponry
VC: Highly mobile

[mrmegster]

Cant find it on kazaa.

[Lonehunter]

That's becouse it's a Fileplanet exclusive

[BUGGER]

just get a job, get 40 sumod bucks, spend 40 bucks, grab ur credit card, start d/ling ur patches, then play away.



i would be nice an giv ya mine with the spare key i stole or watever, but i gav it to my friend......



jsut get the game regardless of the money u gota pay for it, and just go an hav fun.

[mrmegster]

Too bad im only 14...

[Lonehunter]

Mow lawns.
When i was your age I would offer to mow lawns and clean cars.
Car wash = $3 - $5
Lawn = $20 - $30 depending on the size

- Paper route
- Do extra chores around the house for an allowence
- Find a pimp and be a manwhore

The possibilities are endless when it comes to money. Just try.

[mrmegster]

I would get the game, money is not the issue, but im going for a one month trip to Europe and...... Im not gonna get a game that has a monthly fee and waste my free month. the problem is that when i come back, SKOOL starts in like a week or 2.

[Lonehunter]

Europe? That sucks. Well after 8 o'clock I get off work and when i go home i'm playing Planetside and won't be able to answer any questions. Bottom line, it is a GREAT game. The only reason other sites give it a seven is becouse they think that there'e too much of a learning curve. Gameplay awsome. For 50 to 60 bucks, then 13 a month, it's worth it.

[mrmegster]

Im new to FPS games so i hope it will still be fun if i get it.

[MercFox1]

The best empire is.....the guy controlling the orbital satellite in space. One day he will crack and blast the VS Sanctuary since they remind him of Barney and his tortured past....

BTW: I personally like NC, but my friend asked him to join his TR outift! ARRG!

[mrmegster]

Also, is ammo unlimited or do you have to restock at a specail place or the Sanctuary?

[gonnagetyou]

You are limited to the amount of ammo you can carry. Different size armors allow for more room for equipment at a cost of mobility. Just look for an equipment terminal when you run out and need more.

[sieneascorpse]

You can also loot other peoples corpses after they die. and take their ammo and other items as well.

I play as vanu, and i have this fetish about cyclers, my locker is filled with them (terran only assult rifle)

[MercFox1]

I also have a fetish for MAX corpses....they have so many med kits! *starts drooling after he jackhammers one*
