I think foliage density should not be an option. What if i have a beefy machine and i decide to lay down in some nice foliage and snipe. Mean while, someone with a lower foliage setting points and laughs at me while they pop my ass.
Ps. I know it has to be an option so that lesser systems can play, but just sayin... |

I'll stick with my setup for a few more years, unless the CPU speed proves to be a hindrance in PS2, as it's perfectly awesome for everything else that I do. Heck, it even plays the heavily CPU dependent EQII really well... Asus P5K-VM Motherboard Core2 Quad Q8200 (2.3GHz) 6GB DDR2 667MHz RAM GTS 450 1GB GDDR5 It's too bad that there aren't any inexpensive socket 775 upgrades like there were back in the Pentium Overdrive days! Really sucks crap that I bought the Q8200 when it launched, because ones 6 months later supported VT and I can't run a 64bit VM without VT. And it's not worth upgrading now, because I could get an AMD based mobo/video/ram for the cost of a socket 775 quad. Really too bad that Core2s never had the price drop that the core i3/5s had. That did not go as I had planned ( P4 > Core2 Duo > Core2 Quad > Core2 Quad again), so I stuck with the low end quad, because it works and anything better isn't worth the money...

I'm about to spend about $600 on a used machine that will be my starting point, it's a few years old but it has an i7 core, 12 or 16GB of RAM, and an ATI Radeon 4850 that is going to be replaced by a GTX 670 (or something comparable depending on deals) before launch. I'll probably shell out some extra cash for a nice headset, wireless keyboard/mouse, and possibly a new power supply depending on what I find in there, I'm guessing total investment to end up around $1,300-$1,500 by the end.
I don't imagine I'll be doing too much visual customization in Planetside 2, probably just whatever my outfit picks, any useful camo patterns, and probably a hood ornament for each vehicle. I will definitely want voice packs if they get the Planetside 1 voices, and I will probably buy boosts on a regular basis depending on whether/how they are worked into a subscription model. I intend to kick enough ass that I won't need to purchase the majority of my sidegrades but we'll see, perhaps once my student loans are paid off I will celebrate with a splurge! |

I also built it in stages, I got the case (NZXT Phantom) MONTHS before I got anything else, then I got a killer deal on the Mobo and Proc, then the RAM from new egg (G Skill) was on sale for 10 bucks off and finally the Graphics card. I already had a 700 Gig HDD and a 1000W Power supply so those just got re-used. Start to finish took me about 8 or 9 months so the shock to my wallet was pretty spread out. |

I'd put it in terms of how much food you have to buy to keep yourself playing planetside. So for me, how many potatoes, carrots, oranges, apples and the like I must digest to give my body enough energy to play.
Other than that what evening said above - take care of those you care about, and get what you want done, and then any money is just there, its not doing you any good just being there. Last edited by Karrade; 2012-07-20 at 11:51 AM. |
