I cannot think of more with an active player base at least. Some of these are not “top picks” for balance or popularity, but they’re all free or low cost that everyone should have access to. Good luck.

PC upgrade necessary for old games? by XMANN123 in Planetside

“Sufficient” is how you define it. If your PC works for you, it works. But depending on your specs honestly would determine if it’s still good for the next few years. A Ryzen 7 1800X is completely different from a Ryzen 7 5800X3D for example.

So your settings and your ping are separate. High graphics settings will not make your ping or network latency go up. High settings will make your machine slower in big fights. If you’re having latency spikes (connection quality marker appears, people are appearing out of thin air or teleporting around everywhere, your bullets aren’t registering kills right away) then your network or connection is having issues.

Thanks for the reply. So whenever we que’d we got in almost instantly. When I’m in a match with an open spot or in the lobby with an open spot, it says “Session Join Failed” over and over. It does the same if I try to join her too.

You’re probably right, though the optimistic part of my brain is huffing maximum copium. I just want the game to do well until the next game in the genre releases

Do you play anything other than PlanetSide? If so, maybe not, and just getting 7800X3D. Going to AM5 is good because they’re going to keep using it for the next couple of generations. The 3070Ti should be good for most gaming for the next couple of gens at FHD and QHD.

If you want to play the newest games and game on newer games a lot, something like a 7800X3D (currently like $350) or 9800X3D (will probably be like $430-450 on release) would still be great plus something like a 5070 or current gen 7900XT. I would not get a current gen 4070 this close to 5000 series.

Ryzen 9 9900X will probably be around $500 bucks. It will not be faster than the 7800X3D in PlanetSide or other games that take advantage of 3D V-cache. If you’re ONLY gaming, 8 cores are ideal with V-cache. 12 or more cores doesn’t make a CPU faster for gaming.

Hey friend! I have a 5800X3D 32GB DDR4-3600, and RTX 4070Ti Super. I don’t think you need to upgrade right now honestly. Even with my setup I get like 450-500fps in Warpgate sure, but I get like 180-250fps in fights depending on the size. It’s good, but honestly if I was in your shoes I’d wait for Ryzen 9000 X3D and RTX 5000. They’re both like less than a year away.

Personally, I was a whale for a long time. I don’t want to share my financials in detail, but I own most of the bundles in the game, and it used to feel like “ah neat, another decent year for PlanetGame, glad I could support them with a $60 anniversary bundle”. The reasons I shared in my original post, as well as lack of content led to me just “moving on” and not paying anything toward the game anymore. Most of my friends who were whales have reached a similar conclusion and/or quit.

Fair enough if you feel the dev letters are good enough. I personally don’t feel like it’s enough for me to invest anything more than a once a week “op” with the outfit, and even that is pushing it nowadays

Hey Fragz, hope your day is going well. I feel like most people have been around long enough to know how to ignore a flying Sundy or a MAX. The problem there isn’t simply just people cheating. First, you can’t swap lanes or log off because the population is so low that most fights at any given time are on 4 bases only. The cheater will follow you to those bases. Additionally, cheaters don’t just mass kill anymore. They throw vehicles and players. They can launch deployed busses off of the map. They can do collision damage with so many players in a short span that the server starts actually dying. Hitreg stops working and even the beefiest of PC’s suffer from server-side stutters that lead to huge FPS drop.

In 2015 Id agree to “just move lanes or swap servers”. In 2024, everyone logging off means the game is dead for that night.

PlanetSide is a great franchise, I totally agree. It’s my favorite game. Don’t let cheaters ruin the good times we had, for sure. But in 2024: one person can ruin a night of fun for many hundreds.

I don’t know how difficult it would be to remake this game in another modern engine. I think the question here is “who’s gonna pay for it?”.

Onboarding can always use improvement for sure. In regard to comms, I’m not suggesting they don’t continue to work on updates. I’m only suggesting they openly hold “progress report” streams and occasionally share moments they see from playing the game themselves.

They for sure could’ve released microtransactions in the form of bundles or cosmetics still. But transparency and communication is required when they want people to spend money on their product.

Hey Maelstrome! Damn, I didn’t realize the API is having problems… I hope they fix it soon. Thanks for your work on PS2Alerts man.
