I may get a ton of auraxium idling at the warpgate in the next couple hours, but I definitely won't get any certs.

Don't really see the problem.  You can just idle until you can buy HE rounds for a tank, zephyr cannon for the lib, or rocket pods and then farm infantry for xp and certs.

Laggy as all hell, cert costs are crazy (apparently reflex sights are 96 points now? what?), and resing others as a medic is broken. Yay.

On the plus side, I just had probably the first really epic moment in PS2. It was on Esamir. Playing the TR, we took The Pit, a small but deep crater in the ice, and then defended it against the inevitable NC counter-attack. In the end we were cut off and overwhelmed, but goddammit was it awesome!

Heh, c4 is 2 certs for a medic. It costs more for other classes, even engineers. Since when is the medic the most likely person to be carrying c4?

I managed to blow up a bunch of people with my first use of it. The TR were pushing us back with a huge wave of them moving in, so I just slapped C4 to a spot a little ways outside our spawn room by some cover and ran back inside. Within a minute or so a bunch of TR were standing on the spot shooting NC as they came out, apparently oblivious to the block of c4 under them. Killed 7 guys with the one blast. Most people I've ever killed with one block of c4.

Also, apparently all current beta players got a buddy beta key? If anyone needs mine, let me know. They must reeeally want to flood these two servers for their test. Hopefully they can sort out the horrible lag associated with so many people.

That feel when you sign up for beta and wait for months then post on twitter and get into the beta.
My god I feel dumb.

I have two friends that would like to join. My best friend gets priority but if I could have that key then I could get both of them. :D

EDIT: nevermind. I got two already. One from my account and one from my sisters.

Teething problems aside, I'm having a lot of fun with this update. I've been in the beta for about two months now and I've never seen larger battles than those taking place on Esamir at the moment. Bringing my PC to its knees though.

Yeah, cert costs are idiotic at the moment. An ordinary reflex sight is 90+ certs, twice the price of a 4x laser scope? Wat?

sounds like they tried to use an automated system to determine prices through average k/d ratio with each weapon

I haven't even finished downloading the game, and I've been sent the update with a beta key to hand out to someone because I've been a "good beta tester". Heh.

Who wants it?
