This is why I stopped. Basic stuff like red dot sights should not take hours to unlock. It's crazy

It really doesn't take much to rack up some certs in the game. you get 1 for every 250xp you get which can be from killing enemies, capping points, healing/repairing etc. You also get 12 per day just for logging in. I agree that 1,000 for some of the unlocks is a bit steep but then again they're incentivising (sp?) you to spend money. Do you NEED red dot sights on all your weapons? The stock loadouts work just fine.

I also agree that the new user experience could be improved. It's tough for someone never who has never played the game before, to just jump right into the middle of a huge battle without even remapping the keys yet. I say give the game a chance and definitely find an outfit to join or tag along with. It's a completely different (better) game with other people.

just start rolling with DVS. I did and thats who I play with now.

I dropped $100 on triple Station Cash day. Granted I really love Planetside.

Some of the things behind the pay wall are lame, but if you stick with the basic weapons and cert them up you can have a pretty awesome time.

I know this because all my SC is for one TR character, but I do play others and refuse to spend money on them.

I can vouch for this. I did the same thing and sunk a ton into an NC character. I really don't notice a difference except for some of the vehicle weapons. Other than that just use certs to improve the stock weapons.

Yes feel free to add me on steam. If I'm not in game, I can always join.

I switched around a lot and actually started TR. Seems like this game is more fun with a group of friends so might as well go with the GB duders.

Xpadder allows you to use a "Shifted Key" function where you hold down one key to change the way others behave. There is a way that you could map this to something like Y. Then just define another button to press along with your shift key and Xpadder will send a single keystroke of your choosing.

So something like Y+LB would work. I think its definitely possible. Either that or just have an open voice chat on Steam with your friends.

Any word on this? Are we making a new group or just remaining part of the Giant Bomb group on Steam?

I know I've added a few of you but haven't played a round yet with anyone.

@Zurv: I just got back into PC gaming with a new rig I built. Bought a GTX 670 and got a copy Borderlands 2 with it. I would love to play online with some Giantbomb folks. Anyone feel free to add me for this or any other game. EvilGreenDevil on Steam.

Are you part of the GB community group on Steam? I'm online all the time and wouldn't mind playing as a casual group.
