    31%. Probably another hour for me. Blegh! @wakkawa is there more patching to be done?

    (See because I'm a cultist and the Vanu are kinda cultish)

    About 7 minutes left for me for the Steam portion. Unfortunately, my wife goes to work at 4 and then I have to watch the baby, soo, likely not going to get much play time in today.

    As an Emerald vet, GotR and XoO are of more interest to me. GotR is on Matherson, but at least we have XoO on Waterson.

    I feel like Matherson might have more population cap issues.

    I can safely say, XoO is staying on Waterson and intends to do quite a bit of organized events.

    re: name, I like Cult of Arcadia. But as I mentioned, I will be primarily occupied with an outside outfit.

    two more gigs to go and of course time to go to work

  • onesixty2onesixty2 Registered User regular
    meh, with servers about to be hit by (dare i say millions?) masses, i'd say you'll be playing roughly when everyone else finally gets in without crashing.

  • SniperGuySniperGuy SniperGuyGaming Registered User regular
    Cult of Arcadia sounds pretty good to me, unless there are any other contenders. CoA? Or stick with just PA?

  • onesixty2onesixty2 Registered User regular
    Personally I like seeing three letters in clan tags. Feel like it fits better. The outside crowd seeing Cult of Arcadia [PA] might be confused. But on the other hand, it's useful for people who know Penny-Arcade. They could see PA, and know to find this thread here.

    steam keeps telling me

    'An error occured while trying to download Planetside 2 (no licenses)'

    anyone know why this is?

  • onesixty2onesixty2 Registered User regular
    Restart steam, should fix it. If not, restart computer and try again.

    Happens with newly released free to play games on Steam. Restart Steam and try again.

  • japhjaph Registered User regular
    I'm gonna give this a shot.

  • BiosysBiosys Registered User regular
    yeah that worked, tyty

    i last played this in the early parts of the beta, does it run a lot better now or?

  • KrummithKrummith DJ Logic Death can't take me until I finish my backlogRegistered User regular
    Any suggestions between combat medic and engineer?
    I dig playing both roles, but in some games engie is worthless.

  • onesixty2onesixty2 Registered User regular
    The difference between early beta and end beta are massive. performance is much, much more stable. AMS Sunderers are the thing to do (no more default galaxy AMS), and a lot of balance tweaks making the game and gunplay more solid feeling.

    Both extremely necessary. Engies are popular if you enjoy doing armor columns, or being the tank driver in your squad. Engies are also inevitably the best Sunderer drivers, since they can repair their sundy.

    If you like doing infantry fighting up front, Medic. If you want to do tank / sundy driving and be essentially supportive to your entire squad, Engineer.

    Truthfully, you'll want both in the end. e: for ps2 newbies, Sunderers are the ground transport vehicles. Can hold your squad of 12, has two guns, and can be a forward spawn for your faction (after certing into the AMS, it's basically required for everyone in an outfit / squad). So you park a sundy in a hiding spot near where you are pushing. Your entire faction can spawn on it and continue rushing into the enemy.

    I'll probably start as Engineer and Magrider driver (plus some squad leader stuff).

  • onesixty2onesixty2 Registered User regular
    I intend to do Medic > Heavy > Light > Engineer. In order of preference for tactical stuff.

    Yup. All through beta I'd keep my engie and medic pretty evenly leveled. I'd mostly just dump points into their respective class tools since the heal pack and ammo regen really are the best thing they've got going for them. The ammo pack especially is a goddamn XP fountain in a stagnated fight.

    Do we have enough PA people playing to run our own outfit? It looks more like we've got like a squad worth of doods.

    There wasn't any patching so thats nice.

    But 15 minutes in the game stopped rendering infantry pretty much altogether. Before that I got 30 kills in a row.

    weee bugs.

    Yea, GotR were great too, I just never ran into them much because they were way above my level of play. :p

    Not sure about Cult of Arcadia, but it's not a big deal. I can't think of something better really. It doesn't seem sciency/military enough though.

    Just go with the old PA names we used in other games like Obsidian Spur or something

    Or just Penny Arcade if you're dullards

    Steam finished, launcher finishing up now. I've been wracking my brain and since the Vanu are sort of a technocult, Cult of Arcadia does seem to be the best option we've had come up so far. Booting up now! Also feel free to add me on steam. I think my steam name is Dohaeris but I show up as SniperGuy.

  • SniperGuySniperGuy SniperGuyGaming Registered User regular
    Cult of Arcadia founded. I'm SniperGuy. Post your name here or message me to get an invite.

    Kind of tricky coming up with names for military rather than a fantasy game. Like I said, I am not too bothered either way.

    SogekiDan, Ryke Kardine, myself, Kakos, Shiashi and others on the PA GW2 TS3 server are setting up a TR outfit called TSR (Tunnel Snakes Rule; Hooray for shitty Fallout 3 Memes) on US West server Connery. Get in touch with Ryke or SogekiDan on there for an invite and tell them your PA/Core sent you. We'll be on pretty consistently and are planning on setting up a balanced squad composition with different infantry to roll around as. We'll probably also dabble in other factions/PA groups; I know I'll be doing so.

    Just if anyone is interested.

    You should post that in the general PS thread.

    I will probably make my TR guy on Connery then so I can join you guys, even if Vanu is my "main".
