**Official PLANET SIDE BETA w/Poll** Got my 3xDisc in the Mail!

[ShawnReeves]

Well I got my Open PS beta disc yesterday and have to say this seems to be a cool game.
Some people said Planetside was NOTHING like EverQuest. I beg to differ! There is Exp somewhat like EQ. There is also Looting of the Corpse/Coffin. The game is VERY memory intensive like EQ and seems to lag a bit. My 8500LE 128mb DDR barely keeps up with the game.
Like EverQuest, it seems there is alot to learn. Its not overwhelming just expect to venture and probe alot!

EDIT:How can I add a Poll for those that have installed and played it?

I'm still waiting on my discs. You can't add a poll after creating a thread, there's a check box at the bottom when you are originally creating it to add a poll.

*Edit - Discs were in the mail today 😀 😀...too bad the servers are down 🙁

I got in, but I didn't have to wait for discs, just 4 hours of downloading on a broadband connection overnight. 🙂 Game is sweet, no doubt. Servers will be up tonite at 9:35pm EST. The only thing stopping me from playing 24/7 are server outages.

And yes, the game is a resource hog. Runs great on my machine at 1280x960 with everything turned up, but I pity those with slower systems and video cards.

Then why did the thread originator, amonline, say "There is also Looting of the Corpse/Coffin". Sounds like there is valuble stuff to me.

Because you can Loot thier Ammo/weapons/health packs and ect. sometimes better then the one you have. No Money though.....that would rule!!!

Looting doesn't really play a big role though in this game unless you want a specific weapon one of the other factions uses/owns. Then you have to store it in your locker, all the while taking up some of your precious little inventory space. If anything, looting will get you killed. :Q You go to loot, and some opportunistic S.O.B shoots you in the back. :Q Items aren't perpetual, when you respawn, you are naked. It works well though, and it is based on skill rather than ranks and levels. Its great fun though, sucking up all my time. 😀
