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.

>>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

>>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.

>>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.

>>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?

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?
>>1268884Just waiting for the merge, bros
damn this game is satisfying when everything finally clicks
https://youtu.be/H3tX_1LNYWEchinoyokino dropped
>>1275483>two months oldxiao ni mafe wu
bros... i'm not feeling so good about the future...
>>1262323You're too dumb to have any meaningful interaction with me. Wrel leaving shows that the revival attempt failed, and the game being sold off shows that it's a failed asset. 2nd to last OW was the last hurrah and now it's time for terminal decline as every outfit transitions to other games.
>>1277721So like I said, doomsaying becauase the game itself didn't change. Paranoid idiots looking for an excuse. Thank you for finally agreeing with me nearly 3 weeks later in the most obtuse and retarded way possible, retard. No more (you)s
>>1277896nta but I haven't played in 2 months after returning last summer because too much of my team are literal fags who won't shut up about it and all the news since then hasn't encouraged me to return
that still isn't the game itself changing, retard
>>1189048haven't played ps2 in a while, loved it tho. Is it really that dead as it seems from the steam numbers? and if so, why?
>>1279786Steam isn't required to play the game, that said the actual population is only about double that which still isn't great. Game gets to about 800ish regularly during peak hours on emerald but drops dead as fuck double digits at like 3-10 am for the relative time zone.
>>1279884>DoubleLol
>>1277896As i said you're too dumb to have any meaningful interaction with me. There doesn't have to be a specific balance patch that finally breaks people and nothing i've said hinges on that, the game has continuously recieved terrible updates that make it miserable to play. What finally seems to have broken people though, is realizing that even the devs/owners are giving up.
>ummmm nothing has to change i can just make up an arbitrary scenario where everybody agrees with meno more (you)s
>>1280081MmmmYeah that's gone down quite a bitThen again i've got one API telling me theres 677 online right now on Emerald, and Fisu telling me theres 716.
>>1279884>double
Is console version abandonware at this point?
>>1284077Unironically yes. The PC versions is pretty close to being as well.
>>1268882Do not buy a PC for Planetside, dudePlease don't
https://www.planetside2.com/patch-notes/may-15-patch-notes-2024these new dudes seem to be interested in actually working on this game
>>1290742please dont make me think about itim going to be real mad to come back to groomer chat
>Parts of our upcoming Sunderer changes were unintentionally released in today's update. Please be aware these additions are not final and don't accurately reflect our plans for the Sunderer rework. We'll share an update soon, please be respectful to other players in the meantime.Apparently one of the modules increases turret firerates or something to obscene amounts and lets you just delete vehicles.
>>1290827the [point defense] upgrade (under utility) is currently only 4 certs to max.they must not understand what % means, because they added two 0's to the "increase fire rate by 100%" statsunderers can now magdump any weapon in under 1s of holding m1, leading to a temporary sunderer meta
>>1290827>>1290981This is honestly the funniest shit and i'm glad I got to fuck around with it before they revert it.
ALL FUCKING WEEKEND BABY
Reinstalled just to fuck tank mains and A2G mains in the ass. The skies are CRYSTAL CLEAR. Barely any tanks at all. It's bus vs. bus all the way down. Beautiful fucking patch, I can't wait to play more this weekend.Don't unequip Cloak if you have it in defense slot pre-patch. You can run double bulldog + cloak + point defense to be a cloaked anti-vehicle one shot machine. Otherwise, run double Basilisk + point defense + reactive armor with an engineer healing you. Way better than Deploy Shield, kills enemies at any range in two mag dumps (so about five seconds).Spawn points EVERYWHERE. Always easy to get a fight.Very good patch.
>>1292043It feels so good to be able to join a base fight and not have it instantly ended by a magrider swarm or one retard with C4
>>1291835SUNDEEE GO BRRRRRRR
i am having so much funthere's so many spawn points now
>>1292043i tried this but the reactive armor has physics issues. the sundee will randomly walk on the front wheels and or flip onto the side. it's intermittent, but i noticed only happens when equipped with reactive armor. that being said it's a fun race to pull up to an enemy sundee, to see who will deploy first. and if one of you have bulldogs with extended magazine it's all over. haven't had this kind of fun in game since a long time.
did burlap get cheaper? i just picked it up for only 2500 A7
>>1189048Why does this bug get people so upset? It's just a bit of fun until they patch it bros... why get so angry about it in yell? Why can't we all just get along bros?
>>1296748>bugbreh it would be trivially easy to patch the 100% down to a 0%. this isnt a bug, its a social experiement. a FUN social experiment, i like having spawns even if i cant build bases any more
>>1296748>Why does this bug get people so upset?i just don't know my dude the game is enjoyable again it's just like a little reprieve for a few days>>1296760why does everyone get so angry at me for using it if it's fun tho i had to take a break because the hate messages and doxing were getting to me but i've been doing it since it dropped and it's been really enjoyable and the spawns like you said have been great
>>1296763>doxinglmao really? this is so gay
>>1296748It was funny for a day or two but all weekend plus some is a bit much. It is amazing how serious people treat this game while its on its deathbed even though this bug gave us recent record high playercount. So clearly theres more people who want to have fun goofing off than super serious business.
>>1297385>recent record high playercount
>>1298997It's over.
bros... even The Commander thinks it's overhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DfPa7Q7CjM
>>1300947I hope these dumb niggers realize video titles like this just end up ACTUALLY killing a game. It's not going to boost playercount at all, it's going to make them give up as nobody will dare touch it if this shows up in a google search.
>>1300964Good, let the suffering finally come to an end.
>>1300947>every time I log on now I just spend time repairing the only sunderer spawn that is getting rushed by the same group of high level fags over and and over>pull my own one and just die>everyone logs offDo you or do you not like shooting at other players? There's a point where you need to show a little restraint bros. I just can't get into the mindset of these people.
>>1306396Isn't that literally the point of these upcoming sunderer changes
>>1306396Yeah I've found myself on sundy duty a few times too.My sundy repair loadout is flak armor, repair grenades (because I can instantly restock them), NS-66 Punisher, medkits, and NSO repair drone. Unless someone gets out of their vehicle and shoots me or just hammers me with the dalton it is VERY difficult for them kill any sundy I'm on if it has blockade armor.Blockade armor should be the only thing anyone runs. Deployment shield is a trap, it's good against alpha strikes but loses everything against sustained fire. Cloak is for the BACKUP sunderer.
>>1307691With the way sundy loadouts are right now you can run both cloak and deployment shield/blockadeIt's kinda funny, nice QOL and i've fucked over so many cheeky LAs thinking they were getting a free C4 kill on a cloaked bus.
Haven't played this game in over a year, is it actually dead now?
>>1308593Still clinging on about the same as it was a year ago, just with more doomposting despite a much needed sundie buff on the way.
I just want to run around captured territory defending it from very easy to kill non-humanoid AI enemies.
>>1309520So you want to play on Vanu and fight on the TR front all day?

>>1313623Wrel's retired, development is being handled by a new studio and they sold off the IP. theres a huge bus rework coming and uuh, yeah NC wins most fights because their shit's been overpowered for years now. Theres some new implants but other than that we've had no real changes for about 8 months because of "restructuring" and working on back end stuff basically

ded gaem
>>1327176>How bad is it?Like half the implants they added had to be reverted and thats the only significant change they made since then. They're not complete shit but...>since launchNo my friend there was a big weapons rework not too long ago. The gaus saw is a three tap at crazy range and the vanguard shield is now also fire supression because it restored your nimitz which is also massively buffed. They also have the only unnerfed A2G, the best tank gun (highest burst DPS), the best new common pool topgun, the best AMR (G2A flak sniper rifle) and the only unnerfed MAX guns. Also the pheonix which is a meme but painful with coordinated overpop.
>>1336018>They also have the only unnerfed A2GWrong, that's VS. Banshee and Airhammer got blasted some months ago and the banshee is now nearly useless, airhammer can still one shot but you have to get in to pissing range or get lucky with spread. A2G across the board got a sort of unintentional nerf since nanoweave's removal means like 80% of the playerbase is running flak armor now.>and the only unnerfed MAX gunsAlso wrong, all max guns got hit around the same time the max revive changes hit, NC was the least affected by it though since the big nerf was headshot multipliers going from 2x to 1.5x for everyone, but all the NC anti infantry guns got a range nerf (maxes in general excel at extremely close quarters fights)
>>1336018Oh right also the gauss saw's max damage range got nerfed so its no longer a sniper rifle, its a 4 tap at 200m away now and NC cried so fucking hard over it. Minimum and medium damage range unaffected.
>>1336790I mean ppa was born nerfed, NC has the only remaining g2a thats opressive as fuck. You might want to double check the shotgun one, iirc it was a fake nerf since their shotties never had headshot damage in the first place and whatever they did with pellets was functionally identical and actually improved them at one point. Wrel used to give a lot of help to NC since they're genuinely retarded on memerald, but he'd make it subtle in the patch notes so redditors wouldnt get assmad. Same as when he "nerfed" the crossbow by making it still an AOE sniper rifle accessible to LAs, you just cant fire it from the top of the skybox any more. Tards cant read so they see nerfs and completely abandon weapons that are still best in class
>>1339542>You might want to double checkNah it was a (relatively) recent thing, back when maxes got gigafucked with no-revive and also the vanguard got some buffs lmaohttps://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps2/index.php?threads/mar-29-2023-max-rebalance-new-abilities-server-perf.260821/

>>1351654same anon here, they never fixed the server lag problems did they? KEKThe last straw for me before I quit was the graphics update lowering my FPS to sub 60 in most fights.
>>1351654Also same, literally just watching from the sidelines as it slow dies. Quit years ago.
>>1351777Its cathartic really.

Goddamn. Update.It's actually KINO that wrel gave planetfaggies so much hopium while it was actively bludgeoning players.Hear me out: Wrel is based for convincing Planetsuckers that the game had a future beyond sucking Subscriptionfags and whales dry.This guy gained the trust of everyone while actively fucking up the game left and right and sucking the remaining players dry.It always felt so wrong to me that one of the best games ever turned to complete shit before it dies. It's not fair that we spent 7 years watching this shit ass game get shittier and shittier. It's like watching someone you love being slow roasted over a fire to death instead of just getting shot to death in a split second. If Planets0y dies tomorrow I will sigh a breath of relief knowing that it's over and no one will further suffer the torture of "muh devs will save us" mental hopium.
>>1351654>>1351656>>1351777>>1351897Okay cool you doomer faggots, what superior game did you migrate to that replicates the large battles you can only find on planetside
>>1351897>NSO updateNSO nigs should have never gotten the impression that NSO was supposed to be a fully fledged faction of it's own. Complete waste of dev time.
>>1189048>Please play our game editionNo, it's still p2w and the dwindling playerbase still defends the new player experience.
>>1351897planetside2, one of the best games ever? breh, this game has always been a soulless battlefield clone created by someone who never touched the first game. never at any point has the game been good. the problem with planetside 2 was that it fundamentally didn't understand what made the first game good. planetside 1 already solved all the problems planetside 2 had except the engine sucked and it was plagued with performance issues its entire life including a memory leak that never got fixed/ literally all you needed to do was copy planetside 1 and put it into the new engine, but higby couldn't even do that right because he never played the first game. literally no one knows what it takes to make planetside great again except for the people that played and understood planetside 1
>>1352715>p2w retard againlol
>>1352715>it's still p2wWell I don't necessarily agree with that.>dwindling playerbaseThat's certainly true though lol

>>1351897>Its cathartic really. I disapprove of what Wrel did to the game and I'm glad to see it die.Wrel is gone though and he oversaw the game hitting the highest figures since launch, literally a golden era for PS2. The reason it's dying now is because of no support due to company level stuff.
Somehow this update made sunderers even more OP than the accidental one that gave them 800000% fire rate.>instead of glass cannons now they're just completely invulnerable>can regen infinitely underwater whereas the balancing around "no explosives underwater" was that you also couldn't repair underwater>it straight up outheals any basilisk shooting down from above, a2g, and c4lowpop latenight oshur was positively hilarious today

>>1359728I mean you can still dumpster them instantly by just rushing it with demo pouch tank mines, or bando AV grenade and a deci, but god damn I couldn't stop laughing at this reaver who was slamming hornets at my completely exposed shittily placed sundy and being max health long before he finished reloading until he actually just gave up and flew away.
>>1359734>engie metaBASED devs
>Module Removal>The following previously unlockable modules will no longer be equipable on the sunderer.>Blockade Armor>Deployment Shield>Fire Suppression System>Gate Shield Diffuser>Nanite Auto Repair System>Mine Guard>Proximity Repair System>Proximity Radar>Rival Combat Chassis>Racer High Speed Chassis>Smoke Screen>Vehicle Ammo Dispenseroh so you weren't supposed to be able to equip both the deployable ammo/repair thing *and* the passive one? and no more fire suppression!I don't like how we have to give up our handling upgrade though
>>1358865Covid did that for him
>>1356941please shut the fuck up you clueless zoomer faggot. there is literally no game play in planetside 2 except point and shoot. you also talk about scale? you literally have no idea what you're talking about and are completely wrong. there is no scale in "planetside 2" it's just push on down the lattice line only doing that because the game was made for brain dead niggers. you're probably a dumb subhuman that thinks prowlers mashing he at spawnrooms is good game design rofl
>>1360383The level 3 of both speed and handling are default to the sunderer now, which is extremely silly but even worse when you stacked two racers.
>>1360383As long as you have the old module equipped on at least one loadout loadout you seem to be able to keep it available character-wide. Double-repairs is pretty funny ngl. I cant believe they dont have a script to just swap all the loadouts when you log in. Im loving the new speed though, doing burnouts in a bus is hilarious>>1358865Midwits dont realize that esports wannabes are only like 30% of the playerbase. Updates supporting more than just sweaty infantryside are what kept player numbers high. They complain about bastions being for zergfits and construction not contributing to winning continents without the presence of mind to realize that that's the entire point, to have more people doing more things.
>>1360383Fire suppression got replaced by the burst heal armor slot. It is unbelievably OP.
they definitely overtuned sunderers though. again>>1361405yeah read the full descriptions right after posting that oopsit's part of the auto repair module now>>1360871sundies are so slippery on turns now, and bounce all over the place. it's even crazier than harassers
>nanite armor heals more passively than nanite auto repair did>nanite armor's emergency heal heals more than fire suppression did (it instantly heals to full!)>can now resupply your own gunners' ammo with the ammo tower>crazy speed and handling to the point where physics pretty much don't affect you anymoreall this and you can still bring the deploy shield too!what the hell
also, the passive repair gives me squad repair xp and repair ribbons, even when my bus is emptyI love these new devs
>>1360545what an incoherent and moronic opinion. lmao.
another patch coming this week apparentlyI'm expecting some sunderer nerfs, especially to the healing
the fights have been more dynamic and longer lasting with the latest update. i don't think the answer is to nerf the sundee. it ought to be buff other vehicles and weapons slightly.
>>1364907The only issue with it right now is it can 1v1 everything but a vanguard using the forward shield and even that might not be enough depending on what gun the sunderer has. Two person sundies locking down with point defense can actually just delete 3 lightnings simultaneously if you have bulldog/fury.Its more durable than a harasser and almost as mobile, it outperforms MBT at everything except long range, and its a mobile spawn point.The regen armor was a mistake but the dome shield could be improved, and point defense should turn the top guns into AI turrets like the old construction used to have and that'd keep them as good secure spawn points.
>>1364946the dome getting in the way of your own guns is a pain
>>13649961-way shields have been an issue since forevershooting out of your own spawnroom is like a 50/50 gamble, umbrella deployables, skyshields, etc.
sunderer tweaks coming later, today's patch is just hotfixesnotable things:>Sunderer cargo units will no longer remove ownership of the Sunderer itself from the player.>Fixed Sunderer's Deploy Dome to allow its top mounted weapons to not collide with the shield.second one especially
>>1356941>implying the original wasn't better designed in every way except graphics (obviously)
Question from a possible returning player: can a single player relentlessly suicide rush my Sunderer until it eventually dies? Because that shit pissed me off, no matteri if it was Reavers, Prowlers, C4 LAs, you name it.
>>1365933lmao not anymoreRegen armor right now makes you immune to everybody except an engi with tank mines. LA with C4 literally cannot kill a bus right now even if its completely undefended and dumps his entire load on it.
>>1365933>>1366062That said a MBT WILL kill it eventually. Maybe not a Lightning unless it has the viper equipped.Barrage Kingsnake Prowler might have an easier time just because of reload time.ESFs with A2G rockets straight up can't out-damage the self regen. Even a liberator struggles with it.You can stack Stealth + Regen and cuck flyby LAs who thought they had a free kill.Dome + Plating so you cuck even the suicide tank mine rusher while still having a strong shield, though maybe Dome + Reactive Plating would be better?Point Defense + Regen while you're sitting there gunning your own bus makes you able to 1v1 MBTs that don't hide out of range. It's fucking dumb.
>>1366093Thanks, sounds like I should reinstall.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
man sundies are so busted but I'll still be sad when they get nerfed
Is this game good yet? I quit around early 2023 because the shitty redeploy system made 90% of fights onesided stomps
>>1369132Well they didn't revert the redeploy change so if that was your primary gripe then nothing has changed.
>>1368092It's still the same
>>1369209BUMMER
Are you having fun?
>>1371232Unironically yeah, the sunderer meta spiced shit up a lot even if TR is too retarded to make use of it.
>>1371232Hell yeah. Sundies everywhere is so much better than sundies nowhere.
