First of all I'd just like to say hi to everyone who posts here, I will be joining you for a while
I find Planetside is to my liking not only as first-person shooter, but also as a strategic coopertive game.
So on to my questions...I downloaded a seven day trial of PS from Fileplanet to get my feet wet. Since I like the game, I plan to continue to play on a monthly subscription. The only thing is I don't know if SOE will allow me to do that with this trial account. Can I continue from this account, or do I need to go out and purchase a copy of PS and start a new account. If I must do the latter, then my Rank Seven character won't transfer over and I'll pretty annoyed, if I can find out before the weekend, it won't be so hard to get him back to that rank on Friday night
Secondly, I wanted some input on my Terran heavy soldier certifications. I want to make him able to use heavy guns but still be able to pilot a vehicle. I planned on the following certifications:
Medium assault weapons (2)
Heavy assault weapons (4)
Anti-Vehicular weapons (3)
Reinforced Exo Armor (3)
Basic medical and basic engineering skills (6)
Prowler OR Skyguard/Marauder buggies (3)
This leaves two points that I could put into something like another light vehicle such as the Basilisk or advanced engineering. Is it a good overall template or does it need a tweak or two?
Lastly, I wanted to know which implants were the most efficient for a heavy soldier. I have not spent my first implant abiliity that I got at level six. Someone in game suggested to me that I get a the personal shield, speed surge, and audio amplifier or darklight vision. I was reluctant to believe someone I knew in game for a few seconds, and there are some people who would just give a newbie bad advice to see him ruin a character. Those implants sounded decent on paper, but I don't know if they are worth it yet. And for darklight vision, it says that it "greatly reduces your normal visibility while allowing you to detect cloaked enemies in the area," does mean that your viewing range is cut short permanently as a trade off? And is that really worth it?
All help is appreciated, but please don't reply just to flame or call me a newbie.
