PlanetSide 2 Basic Training - How To Get Started [Official Video]

[@krish_4872]

Even 8 years later, as a new player to the game these videos are perfect for me! Thank you so much!

[@27POP27]

As soon is I heard Wrel I was like "YES! A GOOD VIDEO"

[@NumneunoGames]

Good to see SOE values Wrel's opinion :D He had loads of good points on how the game should be introduced to the player, and this short video summarises those points and how to start the game in general.

[@Gyr0mancer]

Well done Wrel, I've been looking forward to these for awhile. These videos are exactly what new players need.

[@genuinelygrievous1442]

Finally, a tutorial that explains the game in the way the players play, and not how the game WANTS you to play.

[@FilthyPeasantGaming]

Cmon Wrel... we could clearly see your Vanu allegiance at the start of this video ;) Also, you should enable bloom when you make cinematic moments like your intro, makes the game looks much cooler ! Now i'm done bitching, great vid as always. Will keep sending the new guys to your channel.

[@garganchua]

gj wrel, im so proud

[@Drrolfski]

W(r)ell done! This was long overdue.

[@SimonRousseau1]

Original PS1 closed beta player here. This takes me back. Just getting started... It's going to be a ride!

[@JoshinoGaming]

Good work wrel! Recommended watching material for newbies!

[@billjones8291]

GREAT job, Wrel and SOE for choosing Wrel. My only suggestion would be to add a 5-second explanation of what a warpgate is (one for each faction on every map, safe zone for your empire, can get any vehicle, etc.) and not just a side-mention of it.

[@SkukS]

Thumbs up if Planetside 2 is downloading while you watch this :D

[@TheFlametroll]

My noob guide, just follow these steps: 1 - Roll NC 2 - Skip tutorial and press the "I" key 3 - Left-mouse-click at anything that moves, friendly or otherwise.

[@gumpad]

I tought that this would be a video from the devs, but was I surprised when I've heard Wrel's voice.

[@Iridar51]

So SOE finally officially hired Wrel. Took them long enough.

[@TheFPSAcxl]

Nice job Wrel!

[@ssg2991]

Just downloaded this on steam, excited to play!

[@MegaDerf110]

Great video and excellent editing. Good job.

[@whoknows8183]

Skeptical till I heard wrel

[@Battlebug99]

Watching the vid, currently downloading on ps4. I know it's been out a long time now but damn I still can't wait to play xD

[@forrenzo4376]

after years, I'm returned on the game, GG boys, it's still updated

[@bigguccisosaxiv]

thx this was very helpful

[@kevinnguyen9939]

WREL!!

[@theninjapizza33]

Shame wrels channel Isn't in the description. ..

[@NORKIE]

PlanetSide 2 will the vanu sovereignty purple be changed to yellow eventually ? because i noticed that it look a lot like blue and that mid battle can be confusing and might get you killed.

[@kononphillips5011]

What about the light bridge terminals?

[@Acoha7]

Was this your first official work with SOE? or was Battle Rank: Go! one as well?

[@gfjmember]

I think SOE picked the right guy for the job, though Wrel, since this isn't your own channel, and the target audience probably doesn't know who you are, may I recommend giving a bit of an introduction about yourself at the start?

#VANU4LIFE

[@michaeldoherty5302]

Thanks now I can play better now

[@rhossingan5449]

Wreeeeel 3

[@socceraddict292]

These betteer be used in the console version or at least advertsied so people will understand the game better and not just rage quit

[@EmeraldCake3575]

Plz help me i dont know which faction to choose

[@CallsignRogue]

huan gia The faction choice is really up to you. But I can give you some advice. --- Faction ideologies and beliefs aren't a big factor in PS2 as a game. They're mostly there for lore fluff. But I'll go over it anyway for a brief second. The New Conglomerate is a group of self-proclaimed freedom fighters who are funded by several powerful corporations to oppose both the Terran Republic and the Vanu Sovereignty. They believe the Terrans to be corrupt, and the Vanu to be insane. The Vanu Sovereignty is a large group of zealots who worship and revere ancient technology left behind by a mysterious alien race called the "Vanu", and believe that this technology will prompt human evolution, thus, they try to bring the whole world under their control so they can start the process. The Terran Republic is the oldest of the three empires, hailing from the planet of Earth, which is now long lost to the inhabitants of Auraxis. They are a militaristic nation believing that, as the original government of the Human population of Auraxis, they have the sole right to its rule. --- The only place where the faction differences really matter is gameplay styles. The New Conglomerate is all about high damage and high durability. Unfortunately they suffer from horrendous fire rates, magazine capacity, and mobility. The Vanu Sovereignty are all about accuracy, range and mobility. Unfortunately they are the least durable of the factions, and suffer from overheating and charge mechanics which slow down reloads. The Terran Republic are all about high fire rates, big magazines, and movement speed. Unfortunately their damage per shot is very low and they lack range. --- Thats about it.

How good of a pc do I need

[@Benni1214]

Platinum Fishy haha, when did I say it does not "run well" on AMD cards? I have always been saying it DOES NOT WORK on 30-60% of all systems playing PlanetSide 2 because they have AMD cards in their systems. Which in turn is a HUGE reason not to waste time on fixing PhysX. Read the comments before wasting your time (they locked the comments on the post)

[@kaiduplessis1560]

Because some people enjoy having that graphical feature in the game and God gave us brains if it doesn't work turn it OFF! Holy shit..... PhysX is designed for "HIGH END CARDS" not shitty cards that the whole point of it to enhance the gameplay experience if your card CANNOT run the game at a solid frame rate don't use PhysX. People complaining about PhysX being a problem is because either they don't have a brain so they cannot find the disable button in the Graphics options. People need to understand just because you have the recommended card doesnt MEAN you can play the game on fucking Ultra settings it means you can have a decent FPS without the game lagging constantly and having to play on Low settings.....

[@Benni1214]

Kai Du Plessis wow read the my comment again dude... I have a high end graphics card i can run most things on ultra (true ultra) but i still don't want the devs wasting time on a small feature that only works on nvidia systems, that is, less than 30-60% of ALL players. Because 30-60% have amd cards and can't make use of physx

[@kaiduplessis1560]

***** Hmmm not sure about the AMD thing. What about mantle? Nvidia cant use Mantle so why cant they use PhysX? AMD has Mantle integrated into their cards so by default AMD already has something competing with PhysX.. Its just not a graphical enhancer.

[@dailyforman]

SOE done good decision.

[@johngotts7282]

lol, BR 2 wrel!

[@comicbookguy83]

Y put this up now when the ps4 isn't even in alpha

[@bondboyz2]

Im waiting for the ps4 version !!!!!

[@melchiahcrouch5692]

I still prefer Auraxis prime's tank loadouts.

[@jamietunney2792]

I joined vanu

[@syncov1das104]

i need 32 bits past ;-; for i ´play the game

[@joelninan653]

Is PLANETSIDE 2 better than DOTA 2?

[@haloshadowsnipe3014]

*PUT PHYSX BACK INTO PLANETSIDE 2 ALREADY, STOP WASTING TIME!!!*

[@phukkitt]

They will, see posts from dcarey and Radar_X: dcareySOE: "We need to upgrade our version of PhysX before we can attempt to re-integrate the particles. After the PS4 launch when we free up some coders we will definitely be looking to doing the upgrade and can the re-evaluate the cost of enabling the particles." www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/2nadia/i_would_kill_for_physx_to_come_back_we_have_made/cmbz5d9 Radar_X: "The official response is still we will reenable this when we feel the system is polished enough to avoid a detrimental effect on people's gameplay. We put a lot of hours into it and of course we don't want that wasted plus it's obvious you guys liked them. We'll update you about this more as we can." www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/2mzfpu/is_physx_ever_coming_back/cm97gwj

[@Benni1214]

***** you should probably re-read my comment

[@Benni1214]

***** why would i expect that? You need to read my comment again

[@Benni1214]

*****​ why are you pulling random s*#t out of your a*#? My initial comment explains WHY PhysX is a waste of time. Among other things one reason is that it doesn't work on 30-60%of all systems playing PlanetSide 2 because those systems are using AMD graphics cards. Why do you have such problems understanding? 

[@Benni1214]

***** dude physX is disabled for amd cards. The performance is bad for nvidia and the devs waste time on it instead of making performance better for everyone for example

[@zenithmaster5747]

This seems more rushed than the less recent one he did

[@socceraddict292]

It was a bad opening... Looks like a top down shooter....
