Quick PS2G! your festive friend just ran behind a shoulder-high wall and straight into an ambush! He has gotten into a gunfight with one equally celebratory enemy of each other faction, and an NSO operative! Can you kill the attackers and save your friend from their faction specific lunar new year helmets?
2nd for fuck vanu, the cancer killing this game. Every Vanu player should be unironically executed mercilessly. Op weapons, annoying ass team color, absurd tryhards, and above all else- cancerous meta gamers that seed discord and spy in other factions just to ensure victory.
>>1189588>Op weapons
>>1189565oh god i didn't notice the fucking earring changes colors. thats' worse than the love bomber helmet where the fucking speakers have camo.
>>1189979>"We didnt make coloured variants because its an artistic choice"I wouldnt even be mad except ice dragon camo looks the fucking same on everyone, and now anyone on the continent can have a blue body and red head. What the fuck do i shoot at, the common pool gun?
>>1189588>cancerous meta gamers that seed discord and spy in other factions just to ensure victory.I had to tell one of my squadmates recently that I didn't believe his name was really Veronica
>>1189565I kill everyone and leave.
Construction walls should be allowed to clip with each other.
>>1190184If wrel didnt want your teammate to die, he wouldnt have put him infront of you with that C4 in your hand...>>1190471Not sure why they didnt do that from the beginning, its not like it would really change anything. Maybe they didnt want people tripple stacking walls over narrow roads?
What gun do you run on your ANT?
>>1191452Walker because it makes libshitters seethe but it isn't completely useless against everything else.
>>1191452Bulldog if I'm gunna be scurrying about an enemy base w/ scout radar, and walker otherwise.
>>1191452Kobalt. I want gunner assists and i want them NOW
>>1191452Basilisk because like air it's FREE
>>1192236Basilisk isn't free for ANT. Your default is a second mining laser. But everyone forgets it exists so your mistake is understandable. Basilisk is a solid choice regardless.
man auto scouts suck fucking ass
>>1190184i'm pretty sure that's an nc, which means i'm gonna shoot anyways because nc
>>1192658Its funny how bad autoscouts are when semiauto snipers do the same job but better.And if you're on a non-infil class, autoscouts just plain suck compared to ARs and LMGs.
got teamkilled in a new way today ncbros........
>>1192679I've been trying to aurax the bar-a50 and dear god the thing is unusable. It has all the downsides of an auto scout with the added bonus of more first shot recoil than the gauss saw so you can't even reliably land multiple headshots outside of spitting distance.
>>1189048And the sequel, based on actual events.
>>1192937damn that's impressive, it does literally 1 damage
>>1192937If theres a way to teamkill, you can always count on NC to find it.
>>1192937There was a spinning sundy hacker a few days ago and i put a bunch of tank mines under our sundy to at least get the free kill on the hacker. Then switched back to infil for scout rifle directive.30 minutes later the enemy was swarming our sundy and I threw an EMP grenade. I forgot the mines were still there and killed everyone.
>>1189048what's the meta ping these days?
Miss this little fucker like you faggots wouldn't believe.
>join rando vs platoon>have a great hour, decent leadership>comms suddenly turn into faggot chat>log offjust one fucking night off for god's sake
>start in 2020>quit in 2021how did you retards get stockholm syndromed into this shit? even the reddit invaders gave up on /vm/don't buy this shitif you did: refund
>>1194139oops meant for a different thread, disregard, there is no ps2 stockholm syndrome
>>1194133You should see late night TR platoons, nothing like 3 am downsies screaming about politics and some nearly incomprehensible dude from the netherlands talking about smoking (yes) adderall
>>1194140>there is no ps2 stockholm syndromeliar
They should have gone the OG route and kept the headshot modifier for precision weapons only.Tying so much win-more shit to headshots really removes a lot of player agency.
>>1190487I feel like it's both so easy to mountaingo at or otherwise circumvent any chokepoint, and so finicky to actually place larger structures on any real topography that this would hopefully not be a real concern of the devs.
>>1189048kekPost that NC webm. You know the one.>>1193320Is there a Vanu one?
>>1196090Which one
>>1196149Kek, this one is good too, but I had one in mind where NC gets sniped by somebody but thinks it was his teammate shooting.
>>1196181>>1193768
>>1193768>>1196184lmaothat one
>>1196090I have plans for a vanu and NSO one, but not yet. I didn't save the .kra from the NC one so i have to find the template again.
>>1196090I've made the vanu one. I couldn't find a 3/4 view of the lynx helmet so i had to draw it. (had to fix a line)
>>1189048What's the network manipulation meta these days?
>>1196895kek
is fisu broken rn?
God damn base building fucking sucks. You’re so fucking exposed and it always becomes a headache dealing with the autists that throw everything they have to destroy your base. It’s just not fucking worth it- what fun is thereYou can’t get an emergency influx of players to help you defend, there’s no more AI, no pain fields to protect little pockets, no sky shields to force entrance from one way, and none of the fucking hardlight shields are one-way. All the construction update did was kill it
Skyshields never stopped me anyway I just put on safe fall and carapace, airdropped in, and C4'd the spawn tube.
>>1189048Brownoids ruin video games and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. The perfect example is Vanu on Connery these days. The low IQ single mindedness they exhibit is completely disheartening. We're actually doomed. Society has fallen.
How the fuck do they manage to break the game so badly every update, on things completely unrelated to the update itself.
>>1201752What did they do this time, i havent played since i realized my team is 60% discord groomers
>>1201790Lib dick gun is like inverted and half of the text in the game has been changed to Arial.
>>1201790All gun turrets are fucked, fonts fucked, chimeras are fucked
>>1201793>>1201794lmfao jfci guess if my team wasnt time to stop then this would have beenrip in peace
OH FUCK OFF.They're mocking us now.
>>1201816You're goddamn right i'm buying that frame though. That shit's cool.
Hello /ps2g/. Been a minute.
>>1201816post the rest
>>1202253That's all of them, they only made infil ones so far.
http://planetside2.com/kekw
>>1202349Embarassing, honestly.
>drop st. patricks "update" with literally nothing new just the old stuff for sale>btw we are totally working on sunies ahahahaha..... buy our bundles ;))))>turn off login servers at midnight sharp>domain expires at the same time>say absolutely nothing to anyoneso this is how planetside goes huh..... right in the middle of tax season too..........................
so much for playing this weekend
>>1202361>>1202460>>1202349>>1202352From reddit, you may have to manually update your hostfile until the new DNS entries have propagated. 64.37.171.22 planetside2.com64.37.171.22 www.planetside2.com64.37.174.148 lvspsn-liv-l01.planetside2.comThe game is NOT shut down (yet), it just moved to a new physical data center and we'll see how that goes lmao.
>>1202479oh yeah. that works, nicethanks
Where are we going to go when Sony inevitably gives up on the game?
>>1203639>sonythey gave up years ago though
>>1194505I play TR all the time and I have that motherfucker permanently muted. Such an insufferable faggot, I actually considered joining VS just to kill him. I hate that he made me consider it.
>>1205409That's the beauty of NSO. You can kill ALL the faggots in this game, regardless of faction.I mean you can do that anyway but you don't get weapon locked on NSO.
>>1205473>Speech check: PASSGood point, Skynet. I'll make a robro this weekend.
I haven't played this game in afew years and want to get back into it to report back to my pso2 buddies about the state of the game, which of theses is the better carbine, please ignore the metals.
>>1206887Lynx and Kindred > TRAC > Jaguar only if you're going for hipfire drift meme > everything else
>>1206887trac burst>lynx=jageverything else is a meme/directive fodderkindred in unsanctioned
>>1206887Kindred if you can control the burstLynx if you want to stuff you barrel inside someone's hitbox and just hold down left clickJag for tryhard ADSing or drifterI would recommend the T5 AMC for mid-long range ADS or the Cougar for drifting with kcap.I auraxed that fucker only shooting legs while midair (sometimes i'd accidentally hit the head)
>>1206967So you're a cougar guy?
>>1207159Nicemore of a cunnychad
>>1207171I know who you are in game
>>1206947>>1206967>>1206910Thanks for replies, think I'll try out the TRACs along with my Kindred.
>>1207726Say hi next time you kill me, it's probably pretty easy i'm a huge shitter.
The amount of seething about infils is so fucking good. You know you've triggered someone when they start complaining about smgs.
>>1207888LoliPatrol? thought you got banned/renamed
>>1208160Nope, guess you got the wrong guy afterall
>>1208009I love xbow/knife but it keeps me directive poor :(
hope when this game is finally put out of its misery someone has the balls to come out and expose all the 1337fit cheaters
>>1208176That anon isn't me. You'll know it when I send you a tell.
>>1209509I get accused of cheating every single day. Why do you accuse me?
>>1194133>>join rando vs platoon>>have a great hour, decent leadership>>comms suddenly turn into faggot chat>>log offI haven't played since this lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fS9FpZZ9K8Is this still possible? Tried for like half an hour to shove a sunderer through that first gap and couldn't get it to work.
>log into the tr for first time in months>immediately invited to a squad by outfit founder>fuckit_whynot.mp3>vc immediately kicks in, entire platoon is talking about sending dickpics and shit with some random woman >zero cohesion, half the guys in the platoon are fuckknowswherethis is why i dont play tr and instead play vanu
I feel like ESF A2G steps on Lib's toes.
>>1213996I feel like Lib thrusters and solo seat swapping to dalton steps on A2A ESF's toes. I'll trade my banshee for a 10 second cooldown on seat changing.
The reason the air game is shit is simple. Ground has>light utility vehicle>heavy utility vehicle, crew optional>single seater dps box>heavy hitter, crew optionalIf you need to hit harder or be effective against multiple things you pay the crew and mobility tax. Air meanwhile...>kills everything>big dps box (crew optional)>medium utility vehicle (crew mandatory)>ultraheavy utility vehicle (crew wasteful)The valk and gal are too shit to justify pulling frequently, so theres no base level of targets to feed the air food chain. And since the esf is so opressive in every role theres no counterplay except g2a, which just kills the air even more. Lib and esf need to switch roles, and the gal needs to be able to deploy in the air, and valks need to be able to support infantry pushes in a way that isnt just more a2g
>>1217058>The valk and gal are too shit to justify pulling frequentlyAh, someone who never plays in a squad complaining about squad vehicles.
>>1190471And with rocks/trees etc.
>>1189048>connery ping has been a solid 50ms higher for an entire year nowMerge when? I don't want to start again on Gemerald bros...
>>1217058Peak hours I have ran into some menacing valks. Not often, but the fucks that drive them sure know how to fuck shit up.
>>1217467Theres nothing you can do with n people in a valk that you cant do with n people in ESFs. One pelter is great, but its not two airhammers. >>1224205The issue is it can contribute well as an a2g platform, but ps2 doesnt need more a2g platforms. If anything it needs less, the entire air game pretty much exists entirely as a parasite off the ground game. Esfs and valks and libs all peimarily hunt infantry or armour, and only fight eachother as a matter of coincidence. Excluding bastions or anomalies theres no air game without a ground game to feed and anchor it. Air should be able to generate utility in its own right so that people have a reason to fly beyond a2g shitting or massaging their skyknight e-peen.
>>1224944>Theres nothing you can do with n people in a valk that you cant do with n people in ESFs. One pelter is great, but its not two airhammers. Dropping a full squad of 10 as a mobile respawn beacon is a lot more useful than 12 airhammers. As long as the valk stays up in the hex they can respawn and drop straight out of it.6 pelter valks can instantly destroy bastions, 12 ESFs cannot. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets patched soon now that people have caught on.
>>1224949Thats an apples to oranges comparison. You can bail out of esfs and deliver your squad that way, and you have beacons that do pretty much exactly the same job as the valk without the g2a issues with loitering or the down time from doing runs.Six valks might be able to beat the ESFs on bastion damage, but you hardly need an optimal matchup against a shit tier unit like a bastion. Plus, the esfs can farm the fighter screen and clear any gals they might have in defensive positions, the valks will be free killsHonestly i like the valk and i want it to be useful, but its spawn and transport capacity is redundant and the spy radar is only good for grinding the reconnisance mission. If it could at least spawn squadmates anywhere on the continent it might get some general use, or if it had an infantry ammo supply built in. Maybe now that the sunderer is getting deployables we can hope for a valks dropping spawn/heal/ammo pylons into bases or something, but as it stands just pull a router or a beacon or anvil in a sundie
make lib the only real A2G threatreplace anvils with gal drops
>>1201816We are SO back, bros
>>1226017>>1227187Zased
how come THAT sort of person always plays vanu? you know what I mean
Indar is the most boring map to fight on. There I said it.
>>1232026le dark and mysterious dubstep faction with lazers and katanas
>>1232088Yeah but you are too good at the game.
>>1232198Esamir and Amerish are solidOshur isn't as bad as everyone saysHossin is lowkey the best map
>>1232450the loudest oshur haters are all on emerald, which is objectively both the lowest skilled server and the one with the most single playstyle autists. on soltech half the population's been running hitbox hacks since 2014 and we just thug it out but god forbid some US autist has to stop lashering a doorway at nasons for 30s
>>1232450>>1232474I dislike Oshur because it chugs like shit on my pc
>>1232892so it's rush, that's cool
>>1232892YESSSSSSFINALLYZOMBIESIDE GETTING NERFEDRevive nade bando is literally the most cancer fucking part of the game.
>>1232892I can't wait to deplete all the energy resource with my .2kdr scrub ass constantly spawning in.
>>1235106TR is never going to win one of these, we body stack far too hard.
girls... ?
>>1213296The only real difference is the Vanu outfits are discussing sending dickpics to men instead
>>1240506>vanu strategy is gay as hell>tfw it actually works
So what game are you all moving to when this one finally dies? I like the idea, but the actual game feels like a clusterfuck of half baked design choices.
>>1241846yeah i wish ps2 was good, it's pretty fun at time
>>1241846Ps1 private servers probably
>>1232474I dont like it because boat sucks. If boat was better I would main boat.
>>1241846Theres literally nothing that gives me the same experience as PS2
>>1232892So, kinda like attack/defend maps of tf2, dustbowl for example?
Checking in just to see why you guys are still here. I quit before Wrel did.
>>1245936Everybody's just kinda here twiddling their thumbs waiting for this sunderer rework to drop.
why do you play overpop?
>>1247036i only play one faction but i am not max asp on my main so i get accused of this
>>1247036You don't like?
>>1247036because on connery all the hackers, laggers and best players on the server play vanu
>>1253874If you haven't gotten the memo we're trying to force everyone to quit Connery. Yes, even utilizing hacks and lag. Read the discord.
So the buyers have finally spoken up.https://www.planetside2.com/news/ps2-studio-update-2024
>>1255616They're not the buyers but also yo what the fuckI hope these new guys can pull it together
>>1255616>and right after that we will release the Anniversary Update. There, we will introduce a completely new theme, which will include a new vehicle typenew vehicle huh?
>>1255704I hope its something retarded>flash but its a two-man ultralight glider (driver and rumble seat)>mobile pillbox (deploy for mancannon)>battleship (has to be built from 10k cortium, cant be healed)>drop pod 2 (with C4 DLC)
>>1255616Where is class balance? What about cheaters? Brain is rotting and those idiots are healing fingers
What finally broke the camels back on this game? It was in decline for years but shortly before wrel's departure every outfit I know of just stopped playing and every scrap of enthusiasm just dried up.
>>1256931It's just doomsaying, nothing has actually changed but people want an excuse to be mad.In fact wrel leaving has been a positive strictly mechanically as lot of his dumbass decisions are being slowly reversed.
>>1256962Uh no. Game has bled extemey badly and is now being passed between owners.
>>1257284And the new owners have come out to say they're updating shit so whats the issue? You're only confirming that its all doomsaying while nothing is actually wrong with the game itself.
>>1255704They prbly want to split sunderer into AMS/support vehicle and Deliverer/APC
>>1257297>Dude what's wrong with hordes of veteran players finally giving up hope and quitting for good
>>1257685>literally fucking nothing has changed about the game>AAAAAAAAAAAA EVERYTHING IS RUINEDpleaseuse your head for a moment
>>1256962I think wrel gets an unfair critique. Sure he made some mistakes, but he managed a small team to keeep constant updates coming to a game desperately needing life support. Without him...>we wouldnt have dervish or chimera, or the new topguns or cannons. >We'd have old nanoweave and old ammo belt and rumble repairs, and old nimitz shield.>no boat and no water in general>no bastion, no colossus, no cortium, no construction>old banana knife, a gal that doesnt deploy, sundies without shields, new players without fire supp>no campaigns, no esamir rework, no mining drill fights and no graphics update>we'd still have the old bloated resistance tables and no weapons rework so no new attatchments>no class specific ubgl, rocklet rework or g2a buffs, and no a2g nerfsThe list goes on and on. And sure there are some people who say "i hate all of that i wish it was 2016 again", but lets get real. If the game were still limited to seven ground vehicles, three aircraft and the same five infant classes in the same three factions on the same three continents in the same premade static point defence bases... it would have died years ago. Maybe YOU want the same nasons nadefest every single day, but those of us without an aspergers diagnosis want something dynamic that isnt over a decade behind the times, and for better or worse wrel gave the game more depth and breadth. Granted containment sites and oshur were misses, but look at the timeline he was on. His updates are desperate attempts to stop the bleeding without triggering a fanbase of vets that are as sweaty and scummy as they are retarded
>>1257746>we wouldnt have dervish or chimera, or the new topguns or cannons.>no boat and no water in general>no bastion, no colossus, no cortium, no construction>no campaigns, no esamir rework, no mining drill fights and no graphics updatebro I fucking wish. you can't just sprinkle in a few alright changes to try and make these look goodthese are horrible additions
>>1258144Its an entire faction with specific specialized vehicles. Esfs are just reskins and that still limits you to three enemy tanks total. It doesnt matter if they're bad mechanically (not that chim even really is), just that they're a fourth option you can chose to play, and get to play against. The armour and air game is dead simple with them, without them they'd be outright braindead
>>1258144>>1257746The boat was a cool idea but ultimately worthless because it only exists in the only map with water that matters and everybody avoids that map like the plague.Maybe if flood indar was real it'd be useful but whoever gets north would either become gods or the punching bag. I guess slightly better than the usual of north indar having a 50% win rateThe deploying galaxy is, amusingly, a concept that ONLY happened because of Oshur because it was the only thing you could deploy underwater. And specifically its weakness was "no shield" so it wasn't literally fucking unkillable. Then another update months later made it so GSD let sunderers get underwater and deploy, and wrel forgot his previous balance change of gals not having shield underwater :)So now you almost never see underwater gals anymore.
>>1258324Yeah, gal really needs a one-way bubble shield or something because its borderline worthless as-is, but at least its something different to sundies, routers and beacons. Esamir's water section is actually quite interesting IMO and its a shame that area of the map sees so little play. Amerish and hossin are good canditates for future water areas though. Amerish has a coastline connecting two warp gates and hossin could easliy handle a deeper swamp somewhere. Boats rushing between trees and conducting shore bombardments against sandcastle bases would be a really nice bit of variety.Or fuck it, esamir rework number 3, lets global warming it and fill in some of those ice ravines. Always hated trying to drive around that CTF bridge
Which faction should I join on Emerald server?
>>1261037VS if you just want to steamroll everything with 40% global popNC if you want the best guns but paint chugging teammatesTR if you want to fight with your recoil more than you fight the other factions, both of which are currently and always double teaming you but at least you don't have to listen to a woman announcer
Who is pale tiger?
>>1261618Above average emerald player
>>1257691Use your head retard. You're clearly emotionally attached to this game.Game is not going to recover. None of the people quitting miss it even slightly.
>>1257746>>we wouldnt have dervish or chimeraGood
>>1261943>Use your head retard.Since you're acting like a huge fucking idiot, fine I guess I have to spell it out to you.ORIGINAL POINT: >>1256931>What finally broke the camels back on this game?Implies something changed about the game, or that Wrel leaving had an impact on the game in same way despite his latest additions being pretty much widely hated (Construction updates & the new capture mode)THE REPLY: >>1256962Stating that literally nothing has changed about the game with Wrel leaving, and the widely criticized updates were getting fixed or reverted. So people are "leaving" for no reason other than fear of the unknown.You again: >>1257284>UMM ACTUALLY NO IM RIGHTMake a point, or stop replying to me.
>>1261618schizo from conneryvery fun to teamkill
>muh people are leaving because wrel!yeah, in a roundabout sort of way>was at 400 players before the map switched to oshur>it will remain oshur all fucking night
It just switched to Oshur on Connery bros... is it over?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NQVcshDo you guys think this is a good PC for planetside? I'm looking to get >=120fps frames in 96+ fights with stability. Is there anything I can swap out for making things a little cheaper. From my understanding, planetside is very CPU extensive so as long as I have a solid CPU, which I heard the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is good, then I won't have any issues. I'm hoping to swap the mobo/gpu since these were recommended by a friend, but I think I can get something cheaper
>>1268414>still plays connery what fac?
