PlanetSide trials are back up and working

[Goku]

I thought the PlanetSide trials were done for, but that is no longer the case. A user on the PS forums said this was working again. I just launched Station Launcher, created a new account, activated the trial, and got in game. Right now I do not know if this is good or bad due to the abuse that went on previously.

I'm pleased my sub ends today. I can already see the incoming hacker fest as the trolls from damncheaters and elitepvp realize that they can kill this game again.

[Tigersmith]

No!!!! Please

I just resubbed last night at the news of higher pops. Irony :cry:

EDIT: Everyone just mass PM Virrago on the forums asking for this to be taken down again.

[Effective]

I recorded this guy a couple days ago, appealed him, and within minutes GM answered and mentioned that he "took care of him" implying a suspension or even banning. So kudos with SOE being so quick.

Better PS with hackers than any other game.

PS still rules, even with morons.

Effective, SOE should give you a free sub for pointing out so many god damn (real) hackers to them.

[Effective]

And there's so many more who have still cheat, or use to cheat.

There's more then a few individuals that I noticed radar hacking, but didn't take the opportunity to record them, and wished I had done so.

Overall, I have compiled together a list of people I have seen cheating, generally if there isn't video evidence it's because I've only seen them do it 1-2 times and never had the opportunity to turn fraps on. It also shows a means as to how to recognize/identify cheaters in general.

I can't do the free trial. I don't know how you found wherever you could activate it.

[Effective]

You just need to make a new station account

[krnasaur]

alright guys, im out, cya in planetside 2

[Traak]

You just need to make a new station account

I did. It said "subscription needed"

So... I clicked on it and, I wasn't taken anywhere that I could get one.

Just some web page that said something like "oops! OMGZZZZ 404! *shriek* no page here. OMGGGGZZZZZ"

So. How do I get a free trial, now?

Checked it again, works fine for me.

Are you using the new planetside launcher, or this (http://launcher.station.sony.com/)

[p0intman]

Are you using the new planetside launcher,

what?

link. now. kthnx.

[Logit]

Virrago just posted a reply on the official forums, apparently he is looking into turning them off again.

[Goku]

Yes I saw that. Virrago rocks! :D

[Effective]

what?

You already are using it, it's the crappy flash launcher

[Goku]

I'm going to try and keep my eyes open with all the different types you mentioned. I am sure a few guys already are doing this.

Go for it, hell point as many of the unwashed mass's as you can to this document, the more information they can learn the better equipped they'll be to find and correctly identify hackers.

the station launcher you mean? or a different one.

[Goku]

Station Launcher Point. Though Virrago is doing his best to get it down now. Not sure if it has been done yet or not.

I find it ironic, a TRx trying to eliminate cheaters

Perhaps you and Hamma should conspire to create a Name and Shame Directory on PSU.

Unfounded accusations make me sad

Sounds like a lot of work

[Baneblade]

So does hunting out hackers in the first place.

So does hunting out hackers in the first place.

It's actually a lot easier then it seems. I only hunt down the hackers who I actually see cheating like this guy.

***x202a;Planetside - Radar Hackers - RengadManiac (Now known as Tiaane)***x202c;‏ - YouTube

I only recorded him, because his dumb ass used a no reload gauss rifle to kill me on oshur from about 50 meters while standing up.

Standing up, full auto, perfect COF, 50 meters, reload animation. So I borrowed a friends account, made a character on NC recorded him for a bit.

If I were given GM access to this game, I would do nothing but hunt down hackers constantly, and I would catch quite a few of them.

[Traak]

I predict Sony will crucify hackers in the new game.

I believe that almost the whole team has been at work creating PS2, so not so much manpower was focused on refereeing the game.

But, once the game goes live, hoo hah, Sony has a vested interest in being known as the most aggressive hacker-attacking company in cyberspace.

They will do more this time around, and I believe, code in stuff to raise flags automatically.

Stuff that's easy to code: number of rounds fired from a given weapon in a given time. Will display to them, reload hack potential etc.

That's what I think. I think Sony will be on top of it for our sakes and theirs.

[Logit]

Policing hackers is simple.

Just freakin do it.

When they release the game, make it clearly known that the first offense is a straight up ban for life. There's no reason someone who breaks a user agreement should be given a second chance.

I too believe they will do a lot better this time around, and I'm sure the technology to detect said hacks is a lot better, so I'm not too worried about it.

[Sir B Smythe]

Thats my one hope for this game, hack free play, the updated graphics look brilliant too :p

[Dreamcast]

How many days is the trial?


Do the reserves work?
