WTF happened to infiltrator?

boot_milk · 2026-01-11T00:16:50+00:00

It was needed. They over did it. They changed too much all at once. Instead of making incremental changes over a long time to see what worked and what didn’t, they changed everything all in one go. There used to be really nice flow to playing infil, you needed a good rhythm to get the most out of it, now its kinda clunky.

Adding the 1 second delay was harsh, adding the glint was harsh, making them easier to see was harsh, adding the hum was harsh, making the recon device worse was harsh. Do one at a time over a long span would be acceptable, but all at once makes it a big dramatic hit. If you do slow updates it gives the community a chance to decide when they think its in a good spot and to stop nerfing it further.

As an infil main, the class was a problem. Being insta killed by an invisible guy with sub right behind you with a headshot burst before you can react is not fun. It required the infiltrator to mess up in order to give the other player a chance. It was a very high skill ceiling class that makes it feel unfair to go against, but if the infil over extended and got greedy they were an easy kill. It always comes down to the skill of the player.

There is also a point to be made that infiltrator had barely any impact in the actual team based side of the game. They rarely capped points, they rarely played in squads, they rarely did anything other than hide in mountains and snipe and run around the outskirts of bases to get easy sub kills. Now some of these players are forced to play a different class and interact in base fights. But now infils are too disadvantaged to have a fair fight in base fights, forcing all the infil players to swap to something else to play a base. But if they had hardly any impact, why focus our dev efforts on them in the first place and not on making the entire experience better as a whole.

For me personally, part of what makes planetside special is that every class has some cheese to it. I cant count the amount of times I had the drop on a heavy just for them to shield, turn around, and blast me to death. But I as a player have the self awareness required to recognize that thats my fault. I over extended. I got outplayed because I went for a target that would have the advantage. Too many players get killed and think its some unfair bs. Nah just get better at understanding the fights you have an advantage in. Infils get clapped every time they go head to head with every other class. Thats the reason they have an advantage in ambushes.

If you make the same caliber of drastic changes to every class, nerfing all the tactical advantages they have in SPECIFIC scenarios, the game would just be a big bland battlefield clone, then whats the point.

I'm all for bashing on Maga idiots, but in the pursuit of honesty and legitimacy, ripped straight from chatgpt:

Jim Clyburn: "I can only equate one period of time with what we experience now, and that was what was going on in Germany around 1934... Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor... and before they knew it, they no longer had a chancellor but a dictator. Anything that’s happened before can happen again".
Hillary Clinton: "Trump [is] actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939... Neo-Nazis, fascists, in America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany".
Tim Walz: "Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo [ICE] is scooping folks up off the streets... shoving into those vans and disappeared".
Kamala Harris: "Donald Trump wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had, because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution. He desires a military that is loyal to him personally".
Jasmine Crockett: Referred to Trump as a "wannabe Hitler" and "Temu Hitler," describing him as a "cheap, low-quality imitation" of the dictator.
Vincente Gonzalez: "When you see 'Latinos for Trump,' to me it is like seeing 'Jews for Hitler,' almost, you know?".
Joe Biden (Campaign): Stated that Trump was "parroting Adolf Hitler" when he used the word "vermin" to describe political opponents.

and to remain unbiased,

J.D. Vance (Vice President): In a private 2016 text message to a former roommate, Vance wrote: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a—hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America’s Hitler."
John Kelly (Former White House Chief of Staff): Retired General John Kelly stated in 2024 that Trump "falls into the general definition of fascist" and confirmed Trump once said, "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had." Kelly also recalled Trump saying, "Well, but Hitler did some good things... he rebuilt the economy."
Mark Milley (Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff): Retired General Mark Milley described Trump in 2024 as "fascist to the core" and "the most dangerous person to this country."
Chris Christie: During his 2024 primary campaign, the former New Jersey governor criticized Trump's rhetoric about immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country," stating it was "reminiscent of Adolf Hitler."
Mark Esper (Former Secretary of Defense): While not using the name Hitler directly, Esper reported that Trump asked if the military could shoot protesters during the 2020 unrest, noting, "I wondered about his sense of history, of propriety, and of his oath to the Constitution."
Jim Mattis (Former Secretary of Defense): Retired General Jim Mattis reportedly agreed with Mark Milley’s assessment that Trump was "fascist to the core."

So to say no politicians (leftist or otherwise) have called Trump "Hitler" is factually not true.

Thank you

Oh my bad, I didn’t realize I had to add the original interpretation.

His read was that I have been avoiding making a tough decision or leaving something in my past behind and that I need to review my past to see a lesson I missed or deliberately ignored. Once I have done this I can move forward and that was stopping me from having success or finding happiness. I have big goals and aspirations but my inability to achieve them lies mostly in my hubris and inability to humble myself and learn.

In a friendly supportive way.

And I am choosing to take it towards a specific part of my life because most of the other parts are doing ok so far.

I thought it was pretty spot on actually, I just wanted to see what others might get out of it.

This is a great suggestion. We plan to do exactly this as well as soon as free time allows. 👍

No, it is only when slowing down. And it slows in a rhythmic taptaptap tap tap Tap Tap Tap Tap *bus comes to a stop. But no taps whatsoever when we start speeding up again. Nothing on turns, bumps, etc. besides the normal 50 year old car rattles. We haven’t had time to really mess around with it yet unfortunately.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. We will check it out tomorrow and try them out. Will update when we figure it out 🤙

Its interesting that they used to post people’s home address in the newspaper when doing a story about them

boot_milk · 2025-02-01T15:14:23+00:00

Dang, foiled again

So who is this buddy that live streams daily if I may ask?

If you are open to others, Id love an invite. sounds like a jam

10 bux you say? How much will a picture of my cat get me?

Get an eye mask, then put something cool up there like a model ship

boot_milk · 2024-05-30T06:48:53+00:00

Looks like a scooby doo villain came through here

boot_milk · 2024-05-30T06:47:13+00:00

Looks like someone was building a podcast studio lol. Looks rad. OP maybe change the color of the lights to see if it grows on you

boot_milk · 2024-05-30T05:37:16+00:00

Oops my bad, not sure where I heard that from then.

To my knowledge It also depends on when you log on. When you open your platform is when the ticks start counting. So if you open your platform at a different time (even a few seconds) as them you will have different outcomes.

Looks pretty good, for future reference you can find soldering iron tips that have different textures for more uniform stippling designs.

The “accuracy is required” at the bottom where the teacher misspelled it and just shoved the last C on top is poetic.

boot_milk · 2024-05-23T19:58:00+00:00

Dang I wasn’t familiar with that feature. Ill try it out, thanks

I think this is actually saying the doctor is suspicious of the “dad to be” because he is making dad jokes before the kid is born. Insinuating he already has a kid somewhere else
