Planetside Marketplace - Planetbucks vs. Station Cash

EVILPIG · 2012-04-02, 01:10 PM

As you can see from this picture, it appears that you'll be able to use "Planetbucks" to unlock vs. using Station Cash. More from this photo, is a little guaging on SC prices and the possibility of buying enemy weapons. We get NC Chaingun stats as well.

So, pretty much what your stating here from the picture posted above is. If you have the funds, you can pretty much own every weapon in the game.

No. They said the enemy weapons are place holders and you will absolutely not be able to purchase enemy weapons in the game.

Just reinforcing this. You cannot buy enemy weapons.

Good, very good. That's what I was getting at. Cosmetics only. In regards to the station cash I am glad to see we can use both SOE points and PS bucks. Hopefully they have weeks where you get 100% more or w/e PS bucks as a discount and so on. Sort of like what RoM does with its diamonds.

This screen is like the perfect example of "This isn't final, don't take away any details from it". I think this is really just showing off the UI of the store, no guns, prices, stats, ornames are final.

Which is a shame.. I'd have paid good money for those.

Actually, I used Planetbucks as the term for what I believe is XP to spend.

The Devs call them Resources you gain them by capping the Hexes. You also get a trickle of them in from your Empire owning Hexes.

hrm possibly, the current amount the player has in the screenshot is shown down next to their current resources.

i would have thought there was a separate equation for generating currency and XP though i doubt you would be earning them at a 1:1 ratio. essentially 300 kills to get a chaingun? hrm i dunno, thats several days played for most people.

FOR WHO??? Oh, I guess for some of the "vets" here.

Of course none of this is final, but I found it interesting and the pricing could remain in the ballpark. You guys all know that I preach "Alpha". I never speak in absolutes, unless I know something to be absolutely true at the moment.

Taunts :/

I wonder what exactly "Armor" is...
