    The random gun tags you get every level...only 1 has work for me, I'm lvl6 and I still only have 1. Are they just a chance based thing?

    Sometimes they don't show up until you log in again.

    I just accept from the mail, nothing ever pops up otherwise and when I go to customize I only see the one I got initially. I know there's an "inventory" thing at the bottom but you can't click on it to show you what all you own. Any other place to check for items to "use" them?

    For inventory click your name in the top right and then a few under mail there should be a button for inventory. It'll have all the packs you unlocked and junk in there.

    I found out by being on the receiving end of that.

    DOGTAGS FOR DUMMIES

    Step 1: Claim it from the mail which you say you've done. The empty mail should look like this:

    Step 2: Go to the Inventory section and head to the Inactive tab (pictured).

    tag2u.jpg

    Step 3: Select your weapon tag (there will be an orange checkmark to its right) and click the Activate button (pictured).

    Now you're done!

    I think your inventory is under the "social" menu. You go in there and activate things to make them available for use.

    Okay cool, just got that sorted. Also had 7 levels of bonus packs, though they are all 3-day rentals it seems so I'm going to just open one at a time. Again, amazed its a F2P where they are actually letting me use stuff with out telling me to pay $$$ to buy a key to open a bundle to have a 1% chance of something.

    Australia and America are the same region in this game and people might not sort by ping when joining a server.

    Personally I play on the American server because when I wanted to start playing there was a queue on the European one and now I'd have to start over to switch to that.

    If you also had problems with creating your account (made the account, never got email confirmation, user/pass don't work and email not recognized, that sort of thing), try logging in now. The e-mail I recieved from Perfect World said they manually activated all accounts made after July 2nd.

    I bounce between the Assault Rifle and a Revolver with an open scope and a Burstfire Rifle with open scope and Burstfire pistol I'm renting right now. The only thing the rented weapons in the second loadout give me is a set-up that's more focused on support at the expense of some flexibility. It's pretty damn fun for KOTH and Dom though.

    And people, as soon as you unlock the Revival Injectors rent a pack and use it. Especially in games like KOTH and Domination. It equips in your Tactical slot (default hotkey is "C"). If you see a downed team mate with a blue icon over their body, you can pull out the injector and toss it to him with the fire key. Then he can revive right there on the spot. This can make all the difference in the Point Capture game modes.

    First you have to click "Take items" to get the tags from the email. The tags then go to your inventory and you have click "Activate" on them. After that, they should be available to you.

    Yeah, I went ahead and dropped $10 on this game and picked up the burst rifle and the holographic scope and they kick ass. I was rocking dudes left and right during one of those matches where you gotta capture the objective by standing next to it. I'd just hit the visor, see where they were at, then lob a grenade over and start picking guys off.

    i swear nobody knows that you can actually hack those points the same way you hack doors to instantly override the enemy's claim and capture it

    i'll be playing and four of my squaddies will be sitting next to it and i'm like WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING

  • DrakeDrake Edgelord Trash Below the ecliptic plane.Registered User regular
    You get a pretty fair amount of CP for hacking a control point in Dom too. Also every second it's under enemy control it's scoring for them and not you. Not to mention that hacking the point is the only way to capture in Dom.

  • FreiFrei A French Prometheus Unbound DeadwoodRegistered User regular
    Almost as bad as the Kill Confirmed gametype, seeing people kill people and then just stand there or run away from the body.

    I know people are new - I'm new, too, but I can read simple instructions.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    the entire hack mechanic is just neat in general, i think

    using it to seal off doors and funnel enemies through solitary entry points on like, seaport, is great fun

    Question: for the steam version, are the in game purchases handled through Steam, or do I have to give my credit card info to the Perfect World website?

    You buy a code through Steam which you then redeem on the website or in-game, I'm not sure which.

    Thought you were talking about the deal on the Starter Pack. For the in-game store I think you go to Perfect World for that.

    Holy crap, the knife is hilarious. Thing borders on a homing instakill within about 6 feet for me.

  • TolerantZeroTolerantZero Registered User regular
    I love using the knife; whenever I catch people offguard I usually try and run at them with it out. On rare occassions when I stab them in the face, I usually get a notification saying "HEADSHOT"

    Not sure if that's a bug or not, but it's still pretty funny to see.

    Yes. Any free to play game on steam can use the steam wallet for in-game transactions.

    No, sorry I misunderstood you. You can buy that Starter Pack, which actually looks like a pretty decent deal. But to get Zen Points you most likely have to buy them from Perfect World.

    Hmm, conflicting answers, ho!

    Nah. One of steam's stipulations for having these free to play games is that you can buy their funbucks through the steam wallet.

    Oh man I was playing a domination round and ran up near one of the points to find a dude standing there, so I reflexively gun him down without noticing why he was just hanging around...and then, free hardsuit! Which means RAMPAGE. Too bad you can't use the HRV while in the suit to find targets, but I still blew up two other mechs I came across and a couple dudes and it was awesome. Hacking mechanic is great, too. Simple and easily understood but still a slight reflex test.

    Also I logged in today and all the money I earned yesterday showed up, but then I didn't earn any this time so hopefully that shows up next time. Not that it matters if trying to rent something that I can afford just instantly returns to the inventory screen with a little orange popup message that disappears almost before being detected by the eye, so I can't buy anything until they get the wonkiness sorted out.

    Oh well that's super cool then. Probably makes me more likely to drop actual cash now. Although it'll be a good while before I ever do that most likely.

  • RoshinRoshin My backlog can be seen from space SwedenRegistered User regular
    I bought a 50% XP boost and I'm renting a couple of weapons to see if I like them enough to buy them. Revolvers are brutal, btw.

    wait, why does this game have a totally arbitrary inventory cap?

    does that mean i can't use the free 3-day stuff i get from leveling up until i delete other 3-day stuff to make room for it?

    that's the dumbest shit ever!

    e: or maybe not, must've just been the server being stupid

    No, I'm not talking about domination (though I love that gametype too, I tend to get more hacks than anyone else), I'm talking about the one where there's a single objective. You and your teammates stand next to it until a meter is filled and you capture it, then it disappears and a new objective to stand next to appears somewhere on the map. Also, each objective has two bars, one for your team and one for the enemy, so you can see who's closer to capping so if you see the enemy almost has it capped and it's surrounded by them you can sit back and wait for the next objective to appear (and hope it's close to you) or go get health or ammo or whatever. I think the initials for it on the server select screen are KOTH? Not sure, I'll see if I can look it up on the official website.

    Got to play a couple rounds, very fun game. Took a little bit of adjustment after having only played Tribes for a couple months now, but I got up to speed after a little bit. The default rifle works pretty alright, though I have no power long range (nrgh, bolt action rifle dudes).

    It is kind of weird that the quick join puts me in Australian servers, though.
