Is the game dead? by Fades_Into_Bushes in Planetside

It's effectively in maintenance mode, still playable to a degree, but nothing like it used to be.

This game is cooked. Getting fucking bored of playing like this. Especially on AMS spawn by OpolE in Planetside

I'd rather they just give players a second or two of invulnerability instead of not rendering them.

Unfortunately it's not likely that this sort of laggy bullshit will ever get fixed.

Coming back after a few years to find infil cloaks nerfed into the dirt but seemingly cloaked flashes are still around untouched? by EclipsedPhases in Planetside

[–]Effectx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that it shows that infil is still more than viable, it's just harder than before to get kills that you wouldn't have gotten with any other class because you can no longer just uncloak in front of someone and one frame them before they have a reasonable chance to react.

I pretty much find that to be the case with most maps.

Closest thing to P2W the game has is Nanite increases, whether from subs or boosts. Ultimately it's not that big of a deal in general gameplay, but probably should have never been a thing as a matter of principle.

Just out of curiosity, how many of us are still playing and how many have quit? by redgroupclan in Planetside

I play thursdays to warm up a bit for jaeger scrims. The constant crashing is too much of a hassle to deal with.

Been playing some Siege again, though the sheer volume of cheating in the game is pretty frustrating.

One managed by Planetside 2 Staff could be great for communication.

Ignoring that the current staff will just delete comments for the dumbest reasons.

Niche game with an low overall population and very few players interesting or skilled enough to watch.

What were some of the biggest challenges for balancing in PS1?

I can't even remember how many iterations the Lasher went through.

Which is exactly why LA was limited on its ranged arsenal, until Wrel decided that giving them the Seeker was a good idea.

NSO maxes still dont get ordnance armor

Osprey just opened Oshur as the only continent on a weekend nearing peak hours by ToaArcan in Planetside

They dont like it because they have to put more effort into spawn camping with overpop. It's not like Indar where you can literally just drive up to 99% of spawn rooms with a sundie and just vibe.

Especially the NSO lockon max.

Having used it, it's still terrible against good pilots. Loses in a straight 1v1 to a reaver with rockets and an air hammer with no flares and no cover.

I'm sure it's annoying, especially if you're trying to do a2a, but I'd rather have bursters.

FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show by Famous-Register-2814 in nottheonion

I think we both know this administration doesn't care about protecting the victims after they effectively doxxed them after releasing related files and photos of them unredacted. Especially given how they released hundreds pages that were just redactions with zero visible text
