What will YOU focus on in Planetside?

[Ir0nRaven]

/me wants to be a sniper/hax0r/piolt. Don't know if I can be all 3... we'll see.

[Flashingfish]

You can be all three, just not so good at either.

You get a limited number of certifications you can have, and you could either choose to spilt them over a wide range of certifications or choose to specialise in one or two things.

There are no classes as such, beacuse you just choose the certification for what you want to do.

We don't know what certifications there are yet, although we know about hacking/jacking, certs for armour and vehicles, and most probably for a medic.

Wonder if the pilot cert helps you fly both the Mosquito and Dropship

[DirtyBird1]

I would want to be a sniper or a dropship pilot. Both sound like so much fun.

[Malone]

Drop Ship Pilot wiff Kaikou. We will be the most daring, hotzoners this side of TIMBUCKTOO!!!!!

[Ir0nRaven]

do we know if there'll be joystick support?

[Hamma]

Probably, not sure on that tho.. dont remember reading it anywhere

And it was so.. this man is like Nostradamus.

I've been reading some of these insanely old threads and realized all of the shit I missed. It really sucks that I hadn't heard about Planetside back before it released, and even worse that I found out about it in around 2007. Getting some major nostalgia reading these threads, realizing I missed PlanetSide when it was really good. Damn it.

Also, sorry about resurrecting this thread in advance if you're angry...

This is part of why I'm so excited about Planetside 2. It may have some significant differences from the first game, but it is absolutely going to deliver the same level of amazing moments and memories.

I'm not at all worried about the launch of PS2. My only fears lay in the unknown future of the game. But I'm not going to lose too much sleep over that just yet, when we still have beta and launch and hopefully at least a solid 3 year plan to look forward to.

I never got to experience the first games beta, so this will be new territory for me. I'm glad I'm getting in on the ground floor of this thing. I plan to fall in love with Planetside all over again.

Wow, Sept. 2002...

Awesome find. Yeah, didn't know about PSU back then, and missed beta, but played planetside on 56k all night, many nights, lots of coffee at work.

[SuperMorto]

Stop pinching my idea!

[Verdon]

This changes constantly. But atm I'm thinking of going Magrider driver/engi for my VS char, will be skilling into engineering if it improves my repairing or anything else that helps my magi. As for my TR char I'm going with whatever my outfit will be focusing on, which I'm guessing will be grunts and prowlers.


Edit: oh fail, thought this was about what you were going to focus on in PS2.

[Baneblade]

Traditionally my main role is a Rexo tank/commander/buggy driver. But that was when surgile was still cool.

Unfortunately if I do that in PS2, I can't focus on my piloting or tanking as much as I could in PS.

So I suppose I'm still undecided.

[Xyntech]

I'm going to mostly be a pilot/rapid response adv hacker, and then go part time as a rexo with HA/AV with adv medic and engi for support.

Then I'm going to stop playing much after the populations start dying down and wait until Planetside 2 comes out.

This is a thread about what you will focus on in the first Planetside after all. I'm just posting retroactively.

[Hamma]

I didn't realize this was a thread necro I usually delete/lock them but this one is worthy a good thread.
