How the hell do I buy a subscription? I made a new account, tried logging in, and it offers a "subscribe" button, which takes me to my profile. I click on "subscriptions info", and the "apply" button is grayed out. I already added my debit card info to their system.

You have to buy the game, you can't buy through the launchpad only edit a monthly subscription

You can buy the game here, which I believe comes with a free month

[shadowcast]

Buying the game from anywhere should come with a free month as long as it is new.

[Versus]

ok, I'll buy it when I get home.

Or if you have the anti-EMP implant thingy enabled.

Back during reserves I fucking loved infiltraitor.  The thrill of sneaking inside of a hotbed base right past an enemy spawn, hacking enemy vehicles, captureing something right under the enemy's nose... ah, my kind of playstyle.  Espionage!

The implant you are talking about is sensor shield.  I have some protips for those wanting to be an infilitrator as I have been doing it since this game's beta more than 5 years ago. 

1)  I hope you like dying.  As a noob infil (and in some cases a vet) you will be lucky to land a 1-1 K/D ratio.  It will more likely be 1-2+.  If you are one of those people that gets mad and breaks shit every time you die, this is not the profession for you.  First, there is the bane of your existence, darklight which makes you glow like a lightbulb if someone has it on and is looking at you.  Second, running by motion sensors is bad, your name shows above your head marking you as easy prey for everyone around (this is the same for slow-flying mosquito radar AND interlink facility radar, crouch walking negates all of these EXCEPT INTERLINK.  If you do not have the sensor shield implant, walking into the SOI of a base with interlink benefits via lattice or not = quick painful death).  Third, there are still some uncatchable hacks in this game, by far the most popular being an old directx hack (uses an older DX version that has limited support for transparency and renders invisible cloakers as easy to see as every other person around).

2)  Being a useful cloaker at low BR is hard.  You will not have adv/expert hacking or data corruption which is where your role really shines.  You will not have med or adv med and engineering which is another area you shine (IE:  heal that max unit's armor then rez him in their spawn room for fun and profit).  Your best bet is to go combat engineer if you can right off the bat as it allows you to stealthily kill massive amounts of shit (see: mines, spitfires, BOOMERS <--- this will be your bread and butter).  I also HIGHLY recommend Medium assault as the MA pistol is retarded broken.  One clip at less than 20m will kill any soldier (3 shots to kill standard armor, 4 for agile, 5 for rexo. add 1 more if they have personal shield), personal shield or not.  If you have 3 cloakers unload their clips into a max, he insta dies, and you can snipe out to around 80-100m effectively with it.

3)  Refer to # 1.  Seriously, I hope you like the respawn screen.

If there are noob infils that want to get some learning in and are in vent this evening I will take you around and try to help you get your feet wet without dying too much.  Maybe we can con HJ into coming with us and really fucking some shit up if everyone brings CE or the MA pistol (VS's is called the Eraser Go to http://wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/inde...tle=Eraser to check it out)

God damn Chinese players are clueless

[Sarin]

VS: SarinGas

I can confirm that it was much better playing with caff and shadowcast.

While it may have seemed like we were doing badly and I was getting them killed,
it was soo much better than when I was playing alone  ;D

[shadowcast]

Needs a name list.

ShdwcstVer2: BR20 VS
OfficerShdwcst: BR8 VS

Yes, I am obviously glad we are doing VS as I will be infinitely more useful than my TR and NC alts

Hope you all had fun tonight

[ainmosni]

I was catching up on my sleep too much to make it... fell asleep way too early...

[Wedge]

Oh hay.  I finally got BR 6, after managing a whopping 3 kills in 3 hours.  I like using a controller to fly the airshippy things, but it's fucking pissing me off I can't find a way to get a simple "accelerate" and "decelerate" key and have to use a stupid fucking analog stick for thrust instead.

[Eschatos]

Our train of tanks was pretty damn fun.  Would play again.

[KorJax]

Bahh stop reminding me of how awesome this was when I played it but I'm a poor college student who (when he gets monies) will buy Clear Sky and Warhead instead
