This directive line will help you integrate into PlaneSide 2 community.
1) Join an Outfit
2) Purchase Outfit Armor Decal
This part often confuses new players.
- PlanetSide 2 Store contains a selection of decals. Anyone can purchase these decals, and display them on their infantry and vehicle armor.
- People can use Player Studio, and submit their own decal designs to the store.
- Outfits often design their own decals and add them to the store via Player Studio.
- A leader of an outfit can purchase any decal, and set it to be their Outfit Decal.
- Outfit members can purchase a special “Outfit Armor Decal” from the store, and if they equip it in their infantry loadouts, it will display the selected Outfit Decal.
This directive requires you to specifically purchase the Outfit Armor Decal. This is probably still confusing, so watch this video.
3) Add 10 Friends
PlanetSide 2 has a friend list system, similar to any other MMO. Friends don’t get any benefits, it is simply a way to let people stay in touch, even if they are in different outfits or even in different factions.
This directive is somewhat arbitrary, since it’s possible to fully enjoy PS2 without ever adding anyone to friend list, so to complete this directive, feel free to ask your outfit members to help you out, or simply spam “add to friends” on any player that you encounter. You can even add enemies.
Adding a player to the friend list generally works the same way as inviting to squad.
As a reward for completing Social Directives, you will get the Outfit Vehicle Decal, which is basically Outfit Armor Decal for vehicles.
4) Join the Online Community
(This is not actually a part of Social Directives). You can get in touch with other PlanetSide 2 players outside of the game. Feel free to ask any questions, people are generally welcoming and helpful.
