Lu Posted January 30, 2013 I took the liberty of scheduling in that event. If there's any adjustments to be made, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsMeYourFriend Posted January 30, 2013 I took the liberty of scheduling in that event. If there's any adjustments to be made, let me know. i don't see it in the steam group! somebody with access should add that event in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsMeYourFriend Posted January 30, 2013 oh! also i thought i'd mention that you passively earn cert points for some period of time (several hours? a day?) after you've logged out. It's not a lot but it helps out, especially in the beginning when upgrades still cost less than 50 certs Sometimes I'll log in with my character just for a second so I can earn some certs when I don't have the time/desire to play.

Lu Posted January 30, 2013 It's because Steam events does this weird thing that if you schedule it on, let's say February 1st, it won't actually display until it's February. If you check for next month, you'll see that they're there. "These are the events taking place this month" as opposed to "These events are taking place in the next 4 weeks" which'd make more sense.

ItsMeYourFriend Posted January 30, 2013 so when we were playing last saturday, somebody mentioned having a radio while we were all in a sunderer or galaxy. this might be a way to do that?? http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/17k3t0/psa_custom_voice_channels/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted January 30, 2013 I see two events scheduled for the same day. I suppose those could/would overlap? The first one starts at 10 am for me and quite frankly I don't see myself joining in that early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lumberbaron Posted January 31, 2013 Clearly the fact that I played this game for 5 minutes, didn't know what I was doing, was killed a bunch, and uninstalled it when it first came out might have been wrong. Why does it seem that Shawn Elliot talks me back into things I would have other wise never given a second chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted January 31, 2013 Alright, here's what I did. I removed the early one, put the new one to take place an hour and a half earlier. At this point I'm thinking, I'm simply never going to please every one in terms of time and date, so this is the time I'll be organizing this shit. I hope everyone will understand. If anyone reading this hasn't been added to the Idle Thumbs outfit yet, if you add me to your steam thingy, I'll do that before our playdate, so when the time comes we can be done with assigning squads a lot quicker. Just in case we get more people than fit into 1 squad, is there someone here who'd like take on the role of squad leader (only prerequisite being that you know what you're doing in the game)?

brkl Posted January 31, 2013 Well, dang. Have fun. I probably won't be able to play anything online for at least a month, and then who knows. Life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eftervind Posted January 31, 2013 8:00 PM. Is that my local time, event planners local time or some standard time zone? Either way, I can probably make it. Also, why no 24h clock, Valve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted January 31, 2013 All steam stuff is in your own local time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geremy Tibbles Posted January 31, 2013 NA - Waterson - New Conglomerate - GTibbles Whenever server swap tokens come out I'll probably move over to EU with you guys since I already have a a Vanu alt. Here's 20 something guys from ShackTac (A fairly hardcore ARMA group) dicking around in their Planetside platoon, just cuz. Also in reference to the radio things, I believe mumble allows for multiple channels (Ground/Air/Infantry etc) and communication between those channels, or to one individual.

Lu Posted January 31, 2013 A Mumble would be pretty sweet, actually. Does anyone have the means to set one up for the Planetside group? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted January 31, 2013 A Mumble would be pretty sweet, actually. Does anyone have the means to set one up for the Planetside group? Here's the answer to that question. Did you guys do any voice chat? Is the in-game chat running yet? I'd be willing to set up a mumble server if not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted February 1, 2013 I completely forgot about that, but in the mean time Toblix messaged me and offered to host one! So now we have a Mumble! Our Mumble is: idlethumbs.mumble.com port 8302 password: wizaaaaaaaard (That's 8 a's) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted February 1, 2013 Maybe I should kick all my guests out and just play Planetside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youmeyou Posted February 1, 2013 Yay, Toblix! Let me know if you need hosting monies! Looking forward to Sat, will probably be logging on slightly late but I'll be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ItsMeYourFriend Posted February 1, 2013 is there someone here who'd like take on the role of squad leader (only prerequisite being that you know what you're doing in the game)? normally i'd volunteer, but i'm most likely not going to be able to make it on saturday!

ulotrich Posted February 2, 2013 No worries, servers are still down, so if you can't log into the game do not panic and check http://www.planetside-universe.com/server_status.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geremy Tibbles Posted February 2, 2013 Servers are back up but they're having some FPS issues. Aside from those, the new patch is looking awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
