TS in planetside

Just wondering how many people use ts while playing, it is definetally one of the best options for keeping squads all together and organised.

edit: i know the tr have thier own server, do the other empires have any?

oh i though you meant the ingame voice, i take my vote back!

We BH use TS, makes it much more fun

SecondRaven · 2004-02-16, 11:39 PM

Yup i host a server for it that anyone can use..

I don't like using any extra ram (i have 3 gig) and waste my harddrive space! I go for typing or ingame voice chats!

You have 3 gig of RAM and can't spare the 10MB that TS uses? HDD space is too precious to waste on a 7MB installed program? What the hell are you doing? hosting a windows exchange server for AOL in the background? Have I been trolled?

That's PorkFryer, don't listen to him.

Acaila · 2004-02-17, 03:14 AM

Oh, that asshat, I thought he was IP banned and too stupid to figure out how to use a proxy.

ChewyLSB · 2004-02-17, 07:10 AM

Yeah I use it...

The use of TS2 is a requirement for consideration to be accepted into the Dragon Wolves. We use that program exclusively for all ops and have a server running 24/7 for its use.

I've heard of a lot of outfits \ squads where it's mandatory and where they have dedicated hosting.

I've had a quick test in isolation and it seems ok. Never used it with PS running as I don't think my system could hack it. If I upgrade to a better machine then it might well be a permanent feature. I think my outfit \ squad might not agree though, I tend to be quite chatty on the Chatterbox (and get killed a lot 'cos of it!).

I'd only use it to make the game more enjoyable whether that's from increased coordination or just making the telling of jokes easier should be up to the individual.

... Wow Mani posted.

Yea CDL uses TS all the time for our ops. Sometimes it gets crowded in the chans tho. But thats what wisper is for. Wisper is a cool little command alot like /pl for platoons. It lets designated channel commanders talk to each other. So one chan can be for the air guys and another for the grunts. If the grunts get into trouble and need support the chan commander wispers to that air chan commander who will call in the air strike.

I would like to but is there somewhere I can get all the info before I buy a mic and sign up for a TS2 server? Thanks

SilverLord · 2004-02-17, 09:59 AM

If I log on PS, i log on TS. Shadow Dynasty uses it constantly and we have a 24/7 server.

Revolver · 2004-02-17, 10:07 AM

I've used it once or twice to keep in contact with the CR5s.

Chaaos · 2004-02-17, 10:09 AM

I always had it loaded on my computer and never really used it since i had 512 ram and a crappy video card. But since i upgraded to a gig of ram i decided to try it out and the PS experience was much better, as I thought it would be.

I could tell i was missing out alot from when i wasnt using it, like when someone locates an enemy AMS and put a waypoint down most of the time squads just say it into TS and dont bother to type, they just assume everyone is on TS because they SHOULD be. Anytime I get the chance to play now for longer periods then the standard time i get to play then ill be firing up TS.
