Heh, I had an over 200% xp bonus running during parts of an alert last night on Amerish over on Cobalt, the free membership and my alpha squad boost putting me at a base of 75%. The population difference bonus was at 80%-90% for 3/4 of the alert as the rest of the VS focused on ensuring we didn't lose our Indar cap bonus, before coming over for the last half hour and blitzkrieging across the map to secure a 60% win. So many certs from being an engineer.

Oh yes, that free membership is nice.  Nice enough that I'm considering buying that discounted three month membership.  Damn their effective marketing!

Welp, I was just banned for "Account found to have used cheat programs while in Planetside 2".

Not sure what that's about. Someone did accuse me of using an aimbot once when I shot them out of the trees in a biolab but that's the only thing I can think of. Was fun while it lasted SOE but if you're banning people without investigation or cause now I'd rather take my money elsewhere.

[Siquo]

That's... harsh. Especially if you spent money on it.


Having paid not a cent, I'm pretty sure my bad aiming skillzz will keep me safe from such an event...

My aiming skillz aren't terribly much better, I just happened to kill a LA twice in a row in the biodome. He thought creeping about in the trees was awesome and got really upset when I saw him both times.

I don't even know if he reported me or if that's what did it. For all I know they could have just mass banned people. I'm just glad I hadn't spent much on it. I think $30 total on various double/triple SC events.

Harsh... For the record, I do think that climbing in biolabs' trees IS awesome, but also risky. I'm not reckless enough to go camping where I just got killed, though.

If SOE has any idea of what they're doing there should be recourse for those wrongly banned for cheating.

As I said to my friend just a bit ago, why should I have to spend my time and effort fighting an unwarranted ban just so I can play their game? I'll quite happily spend my money elsewhere. By banning me for no reason they've shown that they don't actually want me as a customer.

It would be like a movie theater sending you a letter saying you've been banned from their chain of theaters because someone said you were noisy during a show, without actually checking to see if you were in fact noisy or making any other effort to verify the accusation. I'll take my business elsewhere.

I only posted here to let you guys know to watch out because the simple accusation of aimbotting or whatever can get you banned now.

Someone sent me a hate tell of "enjoy your ban aimbotter" a month or so ago.  I laughed, because anyone viewing me at the time would have seen me spraying half a clip of my Gauss Saw at this dude before finally getting me.  I guess if his aim was as bad as mine, he couldn't kill me in that time either.

I had five TR send me ban threats for shooting them when they were behind cover in the biolabs. When I was using the grenade launcher.

I rarely get hate tells, but I've gotten tells from TR pilots before saying they enjoyed the fight.

I got some hate tells from my own team after I locked the guy out of my Harasser. Deserved it though, he was taking potshot at our own ESFs.

I had a friendly teammate follow me around while I was in the gunner slot of a magrider. He shot up our tank until it was on fire, so I hopped out to repair once he'd left. He returned immediately, shot me in the head and killed me, then jumped in the gunner spot and started firing into our own armor and infantry.

I come here today to announce a hopeful plan of an alliance between the Something Awful Forums and the slightly smaller but no less noble Bay12 Forums in the effort of combating the enemy realms inside the game Planetside 2. Whilst both B12 and SA can claim victory opposed against the other in various other games, in Planetside 2 we seem to be aligned with each other on the server Mattherson. I'm hereby requesting input on whether or not I should merge Slaves to Armok to SA's outfit, and thus create a sweeter outfit as a whole.

EDIT: Note that this only applies to the guys on that server. I'd like to bring everyone who was in StA over to this new outfit so we actually have outfit people to play with on occasion. Their requirements are to have a sense of humour so most humans may apply. They don't organize on SA so no need to register there.

As an experienced forums reader, please allow me to add my short opinion that the opportunity to merge our outfit with the veteran video game players of SA will probably result in a better PS2 for everyone.

Also, all you people on other servers, if you aren't terribly attached to your character, possibly by having not spent SC on it, could I recommend you keep an eye upon this affair?

Oh god so many of those guys. I eventually just lost my patience and will now TK everyone who is shooting at me outside of combat. Trigger etiquette, people. We're waiting for the cap, there's no enemy in sight, and still you damage my turret/tank/health? How about some lazorz in your face.
