what went wrong?
>>695211761the dev studio that made it fucking imploded like a year into its life span. Also it had some of the worst monetization ever and tons of issues with the core gameplay>t. 2k hours
>>695213217Was fun for awhile
>Incompetent devs>retarded ideas >putting Youtuber in charge>making game looks worse and perform worse>implementing even more retarded ideas>keep retarded ideas and make them even more retarded (infiltrators)>adding usless shit nobody wants>avoiding things that players are complaining for>cheaters>keep implementing retarded ideas>narfs irrelevant things and buffs things that are still broken (infiltrators)>do nothing to bring new and old players>still implementing retarded ideasImagine you have no fucking competition on MMOFPS genre and yet fail miserably. The only good things that was done to this game as i remember was making NSO free for all.Great game in wrong hands.
>>695211761Not played it for years but lattice system fucked teh game for me. Everyone was always in teh same fights and it all just turned to zergfests. no small encounters, no organized platoons holding the force and squads ghost capping.then they locked continents and doubled down.i bet with all teh base building shit now it is super gay.Still for a while I was in a great vanu guild who did organised coordinated squad and platoon based nights and I had fun.Especially that I am mediocre at FPS games so I could feel like I am doing good.
They are adding fishing.
>>695214147lol wut
A lot of it stems from a retarded development team. The TI Alloys change was a mistake and I will die on this hill I miss wwew

>>695214286https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUQ7Gc4dQZAGame got sold to another company . So now it's some slavic devs working on the game now. Game's 12 year old now and the fact that people still play it and that it's still getting updates is crazy to me.https://www.planetside2.com/news/dev-letter-nov-2024
>>695213972the infiltrator is fineits heavy assaults being the default class for the majority of situations that fucked up the game
engineer > medic > light assault > everything else
>>695211761Unironically? Console limitations. MANY such cases.
>>695214796I'm aware but I don't feel like dealing with Mark and his bullshit, especially with the site splitting into a bunch of spinoffs.>>695214814Most of Heavy's issues stem from the fact that it generally has better weapons than everyone else and a larger health pool than the rest of the classes due to the ability
>>695213217Pretty much this. Frankly I'm impressed the game is still up and running.
>>695211761Removing Biolab transparency and cheaters.FUCK the NC. Lmao at Scythes.
>>695214803So while the zerg is there capping building have your fucking team are off fishing for no fucking reason.Are they retarded
>>695215020It's ironical in a way that it devolved into two unemployable kikes gaslighting themselves into being success over five spics shitposting with 0.0.3PPH. Still, take care, fag. Tell Nacho he's still a pedo cocksucker that can't fly for shit if you run into him somewhere.
>>695211761>too many hackers>not balancing population. What's the point of having five continents if only one is open and it's 48% Vanu?>latency issues where Pacific countries can use ping to advantage>The only updates are for buying gimmicks: buy this Irish melee stick in March, buy this snowy camo in December, etc.>too many cheesy metas: solo libs that can 1hk anything, prowlers that can farm and anti-air, stalker cloak with 1hk knives, etc.>orbitals that teamkill with no penalty, blow up friendly spawns>ASP system that doesn't make sense or do anything special. Why single pistol as a primary? Why not dual-wield pistol instead? Why not let infil use other guns? Why not give heavy all grenades?
>>695215512Nacho was innocent he dindu muffin. zzzchan and smugloli are other bunkers that got created that aren't filled with mostly hispanics who lost an imageboard, but don't have much of a reason to exist outside being a spinoff of a spinoff
>>695211761>p2w>longest ttk everyea they can suck my cock!
Planetside will get graphical update in ---> 2025 <--- !!!!!!Here's the preview video how IT WILL looks likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGPWX1r3lfs
>>695214814Nta, but the main problem people (reddit) have with the infiltrator is it quickly de-cloaking and one shotting you. Smg infil to them has never really been a issue?My problem with infiltrator has always been that it's a sniper class first, infiltration class second. And I think a lot of it boils down to "what are you going to infiltrate?" Spotting is pointless, hacking sucks, and sniping just works out better in the end anyways.>>695215020Pretty much this. HA is the combat class for 90% of all engagements. No reason not to use it.>>695216601Fuck you I'm still angry.
>>695211761ps2 is an over dev'd messit was really fun in beta though
>map too big for no enough players
>>695216731>Smg infil to them has never really been a issue?It is and after nanoweave armor nerf smg cloakers can decloakc on your face and kill you like 30% faster so you have now like 0.7s to react and not like 1s previously.A simple 2-3s delay form decloak will fix all the problem with inilniggers and you can give them an infinite cloack and silent declocking. I would also change to infils so they would not be able to cloak for 5s after receiving any damage.
>>695216731smg infil only works in 12-24 fights or 24-48 fights in a part of the base that has barely anyone in them. Retards seethe over them but if you have an iq over room temp you will just position yourself so you dont have to deal with them shooting you in the back and they lose to any other class in a 1v1 from the front
>>695211761I was there since the begining when they were live streaming the beta with Tramell, Higby, and Margret. When I saw all tge cosmetics that fucked up the visuals of all three factions I knew it was over. As much as I loved PS1 I knew it was an inherently flawed concept and gameplay loop. And PS2 didn't really fix that even though the graphics were pretty. Planetside historically just seems to be something it's devs struggle to understand. And that pattented SoE "You think you do but you don't" mentality from SWG and PS1 remains (pic rel worked for SOE on SWG and was directly responsible for the NGE) even after SoE died and all the spin off companies came to be.
>>695214814thisImagine complaining about infil when HA exists.
>>695211761Bad continued development direction and bad faction balancing. Wrel was the worst thing to have happened to PS2. Also they let blatantly OP bullshit stay unnerfed for to long while keeping useless garbage stay garbage for too long. I'm looking at the lancer as example #1, literally the best AA weapon in the game by far.
>>695217857>lancer>best AA weapon.... wut?
was cheating ever an issue with PS2? There were some suspect deaths I would have but I could never tell if it was my 200 ping or the guy actually cheating.
>>695217948>does almost deci damage to a liberator with a charge up>extremely easy to use and hitIf you don't know what i'm talking about then you're a scrub. Theres a reason all the vanu bushido infantry fags take out the lancer and shoot from the spawn room instead of pulling a flak max,
>>695218087maybe this change happened after I left the game in like 2018 or so but when I played the Lancer was always giga shit and super gimmicky
>>695218051Not particularly. The problem with cheaters is the very obvious ones that kill everyone in a fight form underneath the map which was a big problem last time i played around 2 months ago. Dunno if that got solved or if they're still ruining primetime emerald unimpeded.
>>695211761Construction update was assSome vehicles are too oppressive (Magriders climbing to a mountain 1km away and lobbing shit, progamer flying a liberator and switching to gunner sit to destroy your tank column)Stuck playing the same 3 maps every day because some bases sucksWhatever that flying aircraft carrier shit isgame had a good run but maybe it's time to let it rest
>>695218137One charge up hit and two quick follow up hits will kill an ESF now, or basically 3 charge up hits to get a liberator on fire. It's been buffed to this degree for years now.
>magrider 1km away on a hill hitting a tank for 1/10th its hp every dozen or so shotsTHIS IS RUINING FACTION BALANCE>Prowler with HE on a hill camping the spawn at a 12-24 fight Prowler is so underpowered Higby plz buff plox
>>695218485see this kind of faggot ruined the game
>>695218485>magrider literally climbs 89 degree incline to shoot from mountains no other vehicle can get to>constantly moves so C4 fairies can't get the drop on him>puts a ranger on so only a fully manned and experienced lib crew can kill himYou're a fag. Why is it always Vaniggers defending their blatantly OP crap.
>>695218051No, because dying to a infils is same thing as dying to a cheater from under the map. You cant see it and you cant so shit about it, yet in every 40-50 deaths by this broken class you get killed maybe by 1 obvious cheater. Cheaters are less harm to your game expierence than invisible snipers.
>>695218485the vanguard was always the best MBT in the game by a country mile. All they have to do is wait for the shield to come off cooldown and they can just charge any tank line they want with little to no penalty. Oh also their main cannon is the best in the game by far too
while we're complaining about vehicles, shotgun asf were aids
>>695211761"I'm ON YOUR SIDE!"
>>695218747>>magrider literally climbs 89 degree incline to shoot from mountains no other vehicle can get towho cares? Any time I see some magrider on a hill a mile away I just watch the cliff top, plink it a few times and then it fucks off. The dont have time to peak, spot me, fire, and retreat before I take like a quarter of their hp with my vanguard.
>>695218051There was a several year span in which you could modify a file to increase hitbox sizes.
>>695218981Meanwhile the magrider kills all your vehicles attacking the base from the safety of a mountain that only aircraft can access and the best you can do is slightly annoy it with a anti-material rifle while dodging the most accurate AP rounds of any MBT thanks to chassis stabilization. And you think that's balanced? Seriously?
>>695219195>Meanwhile the magrider kills all your vehicles attacking the base from the safety of a mountainit has time to fire maybe one shot. Seriously I dont get the hate I can suppress multiple magriders while being the only guy in the tank line paying attention to the hilltop unless theyre shooting at a deployed sundie that nobody in the zerg wants to repair
>>695219409why are you like this, spandex plantwe all know you're bullshitting who are you trying to convince
>>695211761don't know. I had fun playing it 10 years ago like everyone else
>>695219409You're only fighting bad magrider drivers then. Emerald is infested with autistic magrider fags that are only killable with dedicated coordination because they know how to use the busted vehicle properly.
>>695219409The problem is that the autists come out during off hours in groups of two or three; gangbang anyone who has the gall to pull armor and then farm infantry and sunderers while stroking off for hours.The Magrider is pretty much balanced during peak hours and alerts, which is why the shitters don't play it then.
>that one BR120 scat max camping in an empty biolab waiting hours for a single guy to walk out of the spawn roomwhat the fuck is this autism?
>>695217403While those changes would mostly fix infiltrator as it exists. I think infiltrator in it's modern iteration is fundamentally confused and needs a full re-work. Say, split into two separate sub-classes for recon/sniping and one for cloaking/infiltration. This is where the original planetside did it right. Despite the games numerous other issues. At it's core the infiltrator stealth suit that was meant to disrupt facilities and equipment. And was not meant to be a weird long-range/cqc hybrid that it is now. Stalker cloak was a step in the right direction, but the end result was just staying cloaked and waiting for somebody to walk by and shoot them. But equipment changes alone wont fix my issues with the infiltrator. It needs more things to sabotage, hack ,ect.Unrelated, but the infiltrator back in the beta could use shotguns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MbTb5NSbdY
>Ignored issues since beta>Dogshit servers on start meant that most people just dropped the game on launch. Current servers can support only 750 pop (MMO btw)>Horrendous optimization>Traded Physx for muh consoles>Infiltrator>Mediocre gunplay>Dogshit air controls>Removed inf/veh/air resources for muh nanites>Removed punishing vehicle timers>Removed tech plant req to spawn MBTs >Shit gun models>Most guns back then were priced for 1k certs>One faction gimmick is gated behind muh fpsMind you those are early SOE issues, Wrel added even more shit
>>695220074ngl I kinda admire the autistic dedication to being a faggot.
>>695218365>ignores when the NC had engineers with the anti material rifles that could 3 tap ESFs and could shoot down libs and galaxies
Just make Planet Side 3 you fucking faggots. The Unreal engine it's on is shit, fuck Daybreak and fuck Vanu.
>>695215512>>695216323wwew lads
>>695220215Yeah but at least they eventually nerfed it to the point where now it's merely good instead of being OP. Lander has been bullshit for fucking years.
>>695220319Well I thought it was unreal, but it's even a shittier engine, forgelight, the fuck is that?
>>695211761vanunigger favoritism
Can they remove the beetlejews already? It’s too fucking OP.
>>695220319Daybreak doesn't have the will or the money to make PS3. They're better off selling the IP once the last few remaining whales finally stop paying 60$+ for every reskinned NS weapon bundle.
>>695220473they nerfed it to be worse than the default VS gun its based on
>>695220497It's not really that much worse than the Orion, and the infinite ammo and "reloading" while you switch weapons makes it the best infantry farming weapon still. Theres a reason VS infantry mains still use it as their main lmg.
>>695220497>I sure love having Ammo Printer 5 and Scavenger 5 stapled to my fucking LMG. Having like two less shots is a fucking nightmare but I've learned to cope.
the seethe towards VS is funny because on paper their guns are usually middling except a few standout guns that were actually good (orion/beetlejew, pulsar C). But in a game about throwing a 100 retards against another 100 retards the winner is whoever can throw the most lead down range so the VS would seem OP because the retards cant into recoil control for NC and TR guns
>playing this game shortly after launch with The Enclavethere was nothing like it brosI dunno why BuzzCutPsycho removed his videos. They were kino memories.The best I can find without spending too much time looking is from the perspective of the purple gayboys getting hit by ushttps://youtu.be/e6LhaWtqij0?si=E277r48kQ5BcJjVT&t=55
>>695220704VS had the most busted crap for the longest time which attracted the meta fags and turbo autists. NC I would say has a generally better arsenal on average so they should be on top, except the average NC player is retarded which is what holds them back. VS still have blatantly OP shit though, namely the lancer, magrider, and the horizon.

>>695221164>>695221012"@BuzzCutPsycho2 years agoEverything got deleted due to cancel culture. A lot of my videos had some not good for modern YouTube words and ended up being brigade reported a few years back. Oh well."not surprising I suppose lmao
>drop podding on top of enemies with 120 of the boysI miss it broshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-p_hXP6mqY
>>695220437This. ZOEpocalypse is what basically sent the game into death spiral. People dont want to get farmed - they leave (casuals, midlevel players). Only hardcore fans remain and even they lose interest over time.
>2024>Still nothing else that even comes close to the feel of early planetside 2At this point, I almost wish I'd never known how good we had it, it hurts so much
>My mobo had some sort of proprietary software that would break hit reg in the game>Almost always happened right after I'd pull a max>Only solution was to restart the game, thus losing my max>Devs eventually fixed it and said that less than a hundred people across the entire playerbase were affected
>ywn go back to the summer of 2014 every again>Wake up>Shitpost on /ps2g/>Play with your outfit galaxy dropping on Vanu shitters and causing the koreans to seethe>Comfy lightning columns across the plateaus of indar>Light assaulting over the walls of bases>Going on massive killstreak in a biolab>Auraxing guns>Finish playing, load up a higby stream, and watch them showcase the valkyrie>He drops codes for cash camo in the /ps2g/ thread againTake me back :(
>>695216553>p2wActual retard >>695220319UE5 would never be able to support even a tenth the players and map size. And it'd run just as bad as planetside 2 did on launch.
I played this for years but about six months ago the game stopped forced me back to default keybinds and wont let me change them???
>>695224841nigger you can literally buy cortonium
They never got rid of forced mouse smoothing in vehicles. I remember wanting to learn how to fly but it was always gatekept by autistic retards who spent a thousand hours just learning how to adjust to that.
>>695211761>multiple huge maps that are supposed to be similtaneous warzones>only enough players for one or two midsized battles on a single map at a time>then you get a dozen people trying to stealth cap stuff on one of the other maps behind everyone's back>been like this for damn near a decade at this pointI like the game and still play it sometimes because the gunplay and combined arms stuff is enjoyable and there's nothing else quite like it, but the game has been on death's door for a long time and the premise is completely wasted because it has not had the community to support the intended scale. It's a real shame that it never got the treatment from the devs it needed and the amount of active players it needed.
>>695220089Ingame voice chat is also a fucking joke. Imagine meeting new people and squading up, but you can only hear each other if your characters are within ten feet of each other.
>>695227093>cortonium
>>695227113I always wanted to do the fighter and bomber stuff too, but it just feels like ass in this game. The planes handle retardedly and like you said, there's always been a handful of players who only do that shooting you down instantly (and I'm unconvinced that most of them aren't just cheating anyway). I play a lot of flight sims and the skillset doesn't translate due to how flying controls are closer to a drunk helicopter in PS2.
>>695227874Air definitely needs a shakeup, making everything a VTOL but also not letting you rebind roll/pitch/yaw is probably the funniest shit i've ever seen. Another thing the console push took from us.
