Sound off if you have an active PS1 account or would be willing to get one if they are super cheap?
Posted By: Maledictus Re: PS1 - 01/18/12 03:36 PM
cheaper than 1 month - $12.99?
Posted By: Donkleaps Re: PS1 - 01/18/12 04:08 PM
i found it on direct2drive for 10 bucks, so its 10 bucks for client and 1 month
Posted By: Tasorin Re: PS1 - 01/18/12 04:08 PM
You are better off getting the Station Monthly Pass which includes PS1 access.
Posted By: Donkleaps Re: PS1 - 01/18/12 04:53 PM
meh i got it last night while SWTOR servers were down for extended maintenance.

I plan on putting time in when I', not running SWTOR pvp
Posted By: Ictinike Re: PS1 - 01/19/12 04:36 AM
I'm in and downloading now.. wanted to do this awhile back but others weren't ready to jump so what the hell.. I rather learn more now about the game in general than a steep curve come launch day PS2.. Gives me some catch up time and of course learn from within the ranks :)
Posted By: Tasorin Re: PS1 - 01/19/12 03:36 PM
Done and Done.

For $9.99 plus tax from Direct2Drive you get the full client (Aftershock), and the first month free. Monthly nut is $14.99 unfortunately, but at this point I am not playing anything else or paying any other subs, so it isn't so bad.
Posted By: Ictinike Re: PS1 - 01/19/12 04:36 PM
finally got patched up and played until 4:30 am :O

I was going to quit but then ran up on some chump named Donkleaps and of course.. had to stay longer :)

I'm BR 5 now nearly 6 after doing much of of the tutorial and getting xp from discovering the items.. oh and helping cap 3 bases and the entire planet last night.. Good times already :)

Cancelled SWTOR monthly nut and bought PS1. I'll likely be able to play tomorrow or tonight some.

America - FUCK YEAH!

I'm still game. I'll be working both friday and saturday night. so Pick saturday or sunday morning
Posted By: Kaotic Re: PS1 - 01/19/12 10:22 PM
Saturday is good for me. What time and where?
Posted By: Kaotic Re: PS1 - 01/19/12 10:24 PM
Ok, I've tried to start the game in admin mode several times, the Sony logo pops up and then disappears and the client shuts down. Thoughts?
Posted By: Donkleaps Re: PS1 - 01/19/12 11:19 PM
That was happening to Uber as well but he fixed it. Make sure you have an SoE account and that you put your key in I think
Posted By: Kaotic Re: PS1 - 01/19/12 11:46 PM
It hasn't given me an opportunity to put my key in
Posted By: Ictinike Re: PS1 - 01/20/12 12:49 AM
You have to get the key and login to an SOE account via web browser and enter the key there.

It's not a registration to install/launch as it is an entitlement on the account.

Try www.soe.com and login then goto my Account and there should be a place to enter the code near the bottom. Once that's claimed try to login via the game. It really shouldn't allow you to start the game if you don't have the key on the subscription already though.. EQ2 never did and told me `No Subscription` when I had an all access pass but no key entitlement for the game itself.

If that all makes sense.. sorry, not much sleep :D
Posted By: Kaotic Re: PS1 - 01/20/12 01:21 PM
I reinstalled last night and same problem so I'll try that after school, but I think the problem is on my end. It never gets to any kind of log in screen so...

Yea it's going to be a launcher that makes you log on then it will allow you to patch the game. From prior posts I thought you had gotten past that part and SOE games such as this and EQ, EQ2, etc have this new patcher that does cause issues like what your seeing. If you can lets hookup in vent and I'll try to have some things to try but clear your internet cache and possibly re-install Flash as it works off of these two elements primarily.

We've been official KGB vent for a few days now in the PS2 room..

I've got something cooking right now or would be there already and playing so once I'm done and out of the woods I'ma gonna shoot it up with ya'll and get Kaotic ingame if I can! :)
Posted By: JetStar Re: PS1 - 01/21/12 09:55 PM
Well I am having the same client problem, cant get it to start after patching. Going to play with it today.
Posted By: JetStar Re: PS1 - 01/22/12 12:49 AM
Trying from D2D
Posted By: Kaotic Re: PS1 - 01/22/12 03:29 AM
It patched? Mine wouldn't do even that. I fixed mine by uninstalling flash, clearing ie cache, and running the updated launcher that is linked in the sig of every mod on the support forums. After that mine patched and runs fine. On install of game be sure to run the exe as admin and then run the launcher in xp sp3 and admin.
Posted By: JetStar Re: PS1 - 01/22/12 06:57 AM
Im in, I am going to write a little doc on how to get in.
Posted By: Tasorin Re: PS1 - 01/22/12 03:22 PM
I think so far we have everyone in that was going to play except for Phaq.

I plan to play but have not had the time to get it due to work load.

You motherfkers!! Where we're all of you couple months ago when I had a sub going. I can only run One online sub at a time and this month it's swtor sobs!!!
Posted By: Helemoto Re: PS1 - 01/24/12 09:05 PM
Just noticed I have 10 days left on my sub. I was messing around with it, had no idea wtf I was doing so I quit playing.

What side are you playing on???
Posted By: Helemoto Re: PS1 - 01/24/12 09:17 PM
Well maybe not. I was playing this like 30-40 days ago but now when I start up it runs the patcher and then disappears and nothing else happens.
Posted By: Donkleaps Re: PS1 - 01/24/12 09:56 PM
New Con. faction. We hang out in KGB secure vent and strategize.

People have a choice how to spend their free time, we choose to organize, watch for PS2 on the horizon, and some have chosen to rehearse in PS1, you chose to do otherwise. If you plan to play PS2 my recommendation is to start by getting on the same page. As Faction leader I will not be holding hands, if you don't show for meetings, don't read these forums, don't spend much time in vent, or are not keeping abreast of PS2 news, then you will have only yourself to blame, this stands for any and all KGB. The agenda is set, the course is clear, when the game becomes more definable a KGB Beta Recon Team will be dispatched, then a Pre-Launch Delta Team, and finally upon live fire a KGB deployment and assembly statement will be issued as to where and condition green established. Not just harping on you Kegir, I am just saying that we will not be scattered, and I refuse to see any last minute command decisions being made.

Drakiis, Maxi-pads are on Isle 4 next to the douche bags.
Posted By: Kegir Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 04:31 AM
Drakis...I will pk you irl. This is what im saying because you didnt read my entire post you just quoted. Im not just harping at you but I am frusterated. In early November I reactivated planetside again...I rolled an NC hes now br16. I asked in this forum if anyone wanted to resub with me. Noone wanted too and you said

. Whatever thats cool ..So I play for 2 months and noone resubbed or showed interest. I took videos of cloak tactics,me hacking,killing,destroying,frag stabbing,boomering etc. I unsubbed because I was playing with random people and I wanted to play with KGB. Now all of a sudden everyone is interested and I am going to have to wait till next month to resub and play with you guys. Can you see why im frusterated? So dont tell me about choices Ive made son or you may have a boomer waiting for you:) And yes I know I dont have any pull and dont attact people to games like Donk and since hes bored with swtor this is probably what happened( I assume). Peace out.
Posted By: Helemoto Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 04:35 AM
I am sure Drakiis was miss quoted. I have never seen him post/rant before.

Maybe his cat died today.
Posted By: Kegir Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 04:44 AM
Lol look at resub post jet made on page 2 in this forum yo
Posted By: JetStar Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 07:12 AM
Kegir, come join us!
Posted By: Donkleaps Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 07:20 AM
I didnt get bored with TOR, just got mad that biowares looting system for battlemasters is silly. So while they fix that(hopefully) we decided to do some research and prepare for PS2.

Noone at that time wanted to pay full price for PS1 and we found it for 10 bucks so everyone said what the hell.

Steadily playing is Icky, Tas, and myself. We have had guest appearances by Jet, Kaotik, Wolfgang and I will be working on a small writeup in the morning for anyone else interested in PS.

I am working weekends right now and only get to play 2-3 hours from friday night to early sunday morning. Other than that my week consists of more job hunting, getting ready for warrior dash and gaming.
Posted By: Ictinike Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 01:42 PM
Donk,

Loaded up a VR toon today just to see and I guess we never knew but it locked Icky out of logging in for 5 hours :(

Sorry, didn't know it did that but looks as if I'm not able to group until after 1pm EST..

~Icky
Posted By: Kegir Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 03:21 PM
In a few days I'll be able to sub again and play with you guys.
Posted By: Donkleaps Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 03:28 PM
Well that's good info to have Icky!

See, come up with a goal and plans most of the time formulate themselves.
Posted By: Drakiis Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 11:12 PM
I was describing the need for participation, something we do less of as time goes on. As I said I wasn't just harping on you Kegir, but if there is hurt feelings I apologize, but this soft skinned attitude is really going to hurt not just a few people, but all of us as a guild if it continues both in and out of games. I stand by my statement, and while Kegir had played earlier as he stated, I don't care for the implication that we need to be mass emailing people, calling them on the phone, putting up large easy to read billboards, or any other nonsense to inform people. Nothing was kept secret about those playing PS1, and it is just as much each members responsibility to stay informed as it is for me to answer questions and address concerns related to PS2.

Every time I turn around someone is getting upset, I am even guilty of it, however to me this is a poor example to set. It does not give me hope if that is what I am to expect from the Faction. If people would rather just wing it, or let it fly then I am sure arrangements can be made. Of course we've all seen how that works, perhaps you'd rather have a softer squeeze-ably fresh Faction leader, who will help you over every bump in the road and cushion your bottom from any harsh realities, we could do that too. The choice is always yours. I know what I am going to do, what I want to do, and how I am going to do it.

Choose, because we can stop the whole train right now.
Posted By: Kegir Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 11:28 PM
Who said I'm upset? Are you playing ps1 drakis? Let me know when you start so I can boomer you that's all I'm saying. Don't be too soft and man up and sub:) on a side note I need to knock off the rust on the old mossie/ wasp I doubt they will change on how those are operated ... That was definitely the hardest cert for me
Posted By: Drakiis Re: PS1 - 01/25/12 11:33 PM
I will be looking into subbing this weekend...I am glad you are not upset, I hope even if I am not able to sub in PS1 you can help out the guys playing.
Posted By: Kegir Re: PS1 - 01/26/12 12:27 AM
It would be sweet if they would just flag us all for ps2 right now. What certs you guys running right now tas donk and Icky

Posted By: Tasorin Re: PS1 - 01/26/12 12:56 AM
Stay the course Drakiis.

Chapped asses will happen.

Either get some chap stick or move on.

PS2 isn't going to be the lollipop forest.

It is going to rival the rage/ass hurt in UO/SB/DFO

Get ready for it.

You have been warned.
Posted By: Drakiis Re: PS1 - 01/26/12 01:15 AM
The real need in PS1 is people to play for max teaming purposes, the guys playing right now cannot do enough on their own. See Donk/Tas/Itchy for specific needs. I know the guys would like to BFR cert but the reqs are tough to get with only 2-3 playing regularly.
Posted By: Tasorin Re: PS1 - 01/26/12 03:08 AM
TR Chaingun or Vanu Lasher > All NC
Posted By: Kegir Re: PS1 - 01/27/12 07:57 AM
Unless your inside a tower. Then JH > all. All they have to do is 3rd person view( which PS2 wont have in infantry mode..thank god..) and rush you and its game over. I prefer the MCG though for all purpose HA. I think im imprinted for BFR guys.
Posted By: Tasorin Re: PS1 - 01/27/12 03:48 PM
Rock - Paper - Scissors

Jackhammer chews through Vanu Max's

Jackhammer less effective vs TR Max

Lasher greater then all.

Bah lasher is good for doors and hallways but if they get stuck in an open space they Die!
