Yeah, there really needs to be a display as to where the weapon goes.

Hmmmmmmm, alpha squad. I'm tempted, but it's really 40 dollars for cosmetics, isn't it.....

When did they say open beta will begin?

"You will be charged immediately for the Alpha Squad package, and upon purchase, you will have instant Beta access and 4000 Station Cash credited to your Station Account. You will receive the rest of the items in the Alpha Squad package upon launch of PlanetSide 2, on or before December 31, 2012." -Alpha Squad page.

I think that basically sums it up.

Ah, thanks :P

The only thing making me consider this is that I would like to support the game.


What can you do with station cash besides cosmetics?

I think you can buy weapons for it. Not any special weapons OP weapons, just the ones that everyone can buy with auruxiam.

Pretty much anything (everything other than resources, I think) that you can buy with auraxium you can also buy with station cash.

Yeah, consider it $40 worth of early unlocks.

Depending on the state of the beta once we get closer to release I might consider it. If I'm playing with a month or two's worth of weapon unlocks then getting some cash in-game so I can jump straight back to that point come release might well be worthwhile. Losing the certifications is going to be painful enough (it's already mildly frustrating when I play on a server I don't have a decent scope for my SAW), and even there the 10% experience gain implant should be a nice boost. And if I don't need to farm Auraxium as much I can probably buy some of the 50% exp gain implants to stack with it.

So i got the F12 bug, a really awesome dude on EU1 added me while i was eating dinner. I tried relogging but then the button was greyed out.
Not even a new character wants to go on EU1(The next button is greyed out).

By greyed out i mean its there but theres no light in the button, you cant click it, it dosent flash when moused over, etc.

Had that problem. I tend to just wait (or spam click on my laptops touchpad) and it starts working at random.

It's a pain but hasn't locked me out for more than a couple of minutes so far.

Anyone else not able to equip C4 even when certed into it? I had it on my HA but I ran out and when I went to resupply my only option was squad beacons.

Interestingly, Armok's name actually originates from arm_ok, a variable in one of Toady's earlier games that kept track of how many of your arms weren't missing.

I've definitely found I can only resupply while playing a class with access to that item, be it C4 or smoke grenades or whatever, but some people have been reporting what you say, so not sure if there is a further problem.

Time to do more SCIENCE with C4.

You can only ressuply when alive, with the correct class that can use it, from a ressuply terminal. All three pre-requisite must be fullfilled for now.

Either buying C4 and bouncing betties is broken, or buying squad beacons magically prevents you from buying explosives.
