So I want to buy this horn... but SOE fucked it up


Okay, so I really want to spend the 650SC for the Sundy horn. No problem. I always wanted a horn for my Sundy and now I will get it, great, all cool. But they have 2 horns. Which should I take? Which sounds more awesome? Which sounds cooler? Which sounds more annoying? Which will be more fun for me?

There is no way to tell because there is no way to pre-listen to the sound of the horns. Great SOE, now I can't spend my money on your game because I fear I will make the wrong choice.

This goes for all cosmetics. If you want to make money SOE, you should fix that.

P.S. If anyone of you already has a horn, could you plz post a vid of it? I would like to hear them

Well, that was a smart thing to omit...
Methinks they will be getting many a refund request.

Honestly, absence of a preview function for everything cosmetic is just....mystifying.

Surely it can't be hard to add something that just does things that the game engine can already do.....

So go make a complaint about it in the official forums and get back to playing Planetside 2 until you get a response....

Unless someone here who is not a dev can magically fix this for you or will send you $6.50....

It's not hard to add something into an engine that can do it already, right?


FFS now people are just LOOKING for things to bitch about.... L I T E R A L L Y "I can't hear my horn before I buy it, waaaaaa"

Are you fucking serious...
Not really. I don't think it's unfair to ask for the ability to preview what you are about to buy. especially if the horns sound different and you are unable to see the difference in the menu. It's a design oversight imo.

It's definitely not unfair to ask for a horn preview.....but it is pointless and a waste of time to complain about it here.

A very valid complaint seeing as you're paying for it.

Should note that the devs do actually read PSU threads.

There should definitely be a preview function.

Re: So I want to buy this horn... but SOE fucked it up


Not surprising since SOE seems to severely lack in intuition and they have a hard time seeing things from a user's perspective considering how deficient descriptions are for anything.

"Let's give them horns!"

"Okay, sounds good."

"Wait, two horns are better than one, they'll love that..."

"Done, we'll make money on this!"

Okay, where's the thought into the user experience into all this?

I did it too, I could not wait

I don't see it ingame and in the store I still see it as locked. The SC is gone though. I issued a ticket :/

€dit: It's a known issue, being worked on.

I have a support ticket in because packages with vehicle weapons don't say what turret or vehicle a weapon is for. I spent a bunch of cert points to unlock a vehicle turret, then bought a package that, as it turns out, happens to contain the identical turret. If the packages had a little more detail on them, this wouldn't happen.
