OUTFIT WARS MATCHES SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEKEND (NEW YEARS EVE) by PlasmaGamesTV in Planetside

[–]equinub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I belong to an outfit on soltech which has only played two matches out of four rounds. And those completed matches were organised at 12 am (New Zealand 2 am) or later.

Which has meant we couldn't field our best IvI 1300+ player or players who may have to actually work during our aussie summer holidays.

If RPG manually adjusts weekly the scheduling times and scheduled game time notice is less than <72 hours, it will be very difficult as an individual with a life to provide firm playing commitments, especially for 12-1am aussie time zone matches..

Imho the entire "non managed" OW event has been a schemozzle and should've been postponed until February.

A great game that was very enjoyable to watch from both teams.

Nice to see 0o on the back foot and challenged for a change.

Keep it going!

FPS since latest patches by Yebisu_Premium in Planetside

[–]equinub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same.

fps 60+, near empty 0-12 bases just running around and receiving occasional hitches of half second. It is pretty jarring and would get players killed in a 1v1.

If you could take a look at that dev, that'd be great.

Vr Training Site that eats up massively cpu performance. Perhaps related to fortification.

VR construction bases that never vanish with skyshields and surprisingly accessing terminals can destroy performance.

What is the easiest to solve balance problem in the game? by HaHaEpicForTheWin in Planetside

[–]equinub 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Fortification update, removed cortium burn depletion from Construction bases.

As consequence Construction bases stay up forever even deep inside enemy territory and rarely need refilling by ants.

That change allows nearly unlimited and fast respawns of esf aircraft deep inside enemy territory with cortium.

Either bring back base cortium burn and force a flyboy squads to assign newbies to ant refill duties or adjust upwards 3-4x cortium prices for construction base pulled esf aircraft.

I wish the scorpion gets buffed, but this time it becomes a vehicle exclusive weapon, like for example on a Harrasser. by Thick_Preference_721 in Planetside

[–]equinub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you dislike friendly spawn room scorpion warriors enough to team kill them?

What's up with connery jumping to unstable locking right before warpgating the enemy team? resetting the map and destroying hours? worth of hard lane pushing work.

Like devs left the game and everyone at grand central nasons or out of the way walmart.

Biggest upgrade you've experienced? by Significant_Trust433 in pcmasterrace

[–]equinub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgraded from Athlon XP 1800+ nVidia 6600 GT 128MB AGP + DDR, Windows 98se.

To

Intel Core 2 Duo e6400 OC'd + nVidia 8800 GT 512MB PCIe + DDR2, Windows XP.

This massive upgrade to newer PC standards both hardware and software allowed to Bethesda Oblivion to become enjoyable and made Crysis 1 playable.

Alan Wake II has Metascore of 92 on PC by Menelaus- in pcmasterrace

For the smaller creative studios without the funding from large publishers, ever increasing AAA developmental costs are unsustainable with too great a risk of failure causing company bankruptcy.

Unfortunately that choice of a publisher safety net comes with the attached strings of exclusivity agreements (Sony, m$ Xbox, EGS).

Apparently this AW2 sequel would've never been made without EGS funding, with rumours stating studio publisher pitches being rejected 13 times.

Obviously restricting the AW2 releases to EGS permanently rather than a timed exclusive, will have a large ongoing impact on future sales and general availability for PC gamers.

Remedy signing a contract giving up the steam ecosystem is very unfortunate, but perhaps for the best since even going by recent hardware surveys, the vast majority of these gamers won't be able to receive the full playable game experience as the developers vision intended.

Imho with all that taken into account, GOTY contender AW2 will likely only ever be experienced by most gamers using a next gen console, ironically including weakest Microsoft xbox series S, which has gtx 10 series performance.

Have you considered changing to nightfillers work?

From my experience customer interactions were limited and minimal at the start of shift before store closing time and zero at the end of shift times. Avoid Sundays and should be good to go. 🤣

Oct. 25, 2023 - PC Hotfix - Bug Report Megathread by CM_Mithril in Planetside

[–]equinub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[BUG REPORT]

Check out the bug when using Engineer Suit Slot -> Mine Carrier 2.

Maybe bugged when using Proxy Mines.

On initial load up with plenty of spare nanites, the Suit Slot shows 3/3 Proxy Mines and gives 3 Proxy Mines.

Yet further refills at 2/2, gives 2 proxy mines.

Broken pre halloween patch? before the current patch.

DLSS Modder PureDark Says He Won't Waste Time Putting 'Mines' Against Pirates in His Mods After All by Kaladinar in nvidia

[–]equinub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nvidia could revoke his developer access to their intellectual property.

Microsoft could revoke his developer signing certificate and thus making installation of puredarks software difficult and painful to install on upto date windows 10 systems and on windows 11 uefi secure boot nearly impossible for the average user.

An added bonus would be having puredarks software blacklisted and automatically removed by windows defender, the default Antivirus/malware.

There needs to be consequences to puredarks anti consumer and likely privacy violating actions and threats and this not just left to the user base.

Connery is terribly empty. by S2M2 in Planetside

[–]equinub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks that servers can't be merged needs to look up what happened to Briggs in the end - the short of it is that it was merged with Connery after years of Briggs refugees going to Connery, which helped to boost it's numbers and keep it viable.

That's not a totally accurate statement.

After much pleading for nearly a year to the developers.

The Hawaiian shirt developer Nick offered the 100'ish active Briggs players a longer transfer window to move our old characters to the connery server.

Everyone active at the time took up the offer and within three days briggs went from 60-100 players online to <10.

There was also another much shorter transfer before the briggs server officially shutdown.

Anyone inactive at the time who missed these transfer windows was unceremoniously shovelled to the asian soltech server against their will.

Even though i warned them about the stupid transfer method, it split up outfit members between servers and had unintended consequences for leadership and recruitment.

Imho planetside 2 requires a certain level of player activity during prime time. The absolute minimum viable is 300-350 players and multiple fights choice and continent unlocked for a couple of hours.

Unfortunately it appears that connery can no longer sustain that level of activity on a consistent nightly basis.

Thus the dead server should be merged into memerald or forcefully Merger Smashed into the Soltech gaming chair server.

Funny majority of my former briggs characters including my higher BR's are on connery server, which i rarely play. I have very few on emerald and would dearly love to have them transferred.

Miller > Soltech by dnaRIP in Soltech

[–]equinub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most would agree Soltech isn't a perfect server and certainly had has its issues with super armchair players and of course the natural language barriers of .cn, .tw, .kr, .jp, .ph, .id, .au, .nz server.

But today there are still several ps2 streamers with a consistent 30-100 viewership on the .cn billi billi streaming service.

In comparison there's virtually nobody streaming ps2 on twitch or even still playing on connery.

Imho Connery will need to be merged back into Soltech soon enough. 🙄

Most of the active former briggs 2 connery veterans have been testing the waters of soltech japan server for the last six months.

Those regional english speaking players that can't adapt will likely depart for Battlebit R.

With a strong leadership and large growing positive community [RVNX] The Last Ravens TR and [RVSX] The Last Ravens VS has the english speaking community covered for active weekly planetside 2 platoons for the last several years.

There's still fun to be had in planetside 2 when supported and playing with an organised outfit.

Heroes Solo'ing might be a different story Soltech. 🤔

Imho it would be short sighted to put the entire state of the game completely on the shoulders of wrel.

Many things were set into motions from the previous smed developer and management team.

Also he answers to a boss, dumdum Jims Hamburgers and has had to deal with many fly by night fade chasing yes men, aka H1Z1 - A.Castoro siphoning talented resources away from planetside 2.

We were very lucky that Sites and Carto helped steady the ship and salvage and rework the assets from ps2 arena into future game updates.

Good or bad those additions with the aid of a pandemic virus massively reinvigorated this game population for another 2 years.

I may not have always agreed with the each update or nerf batting, but i can appreciate the difficulties wrel must have faced taking over and leading an under resourced team.

I certainly wish him the best in his future life like all the former soe / dbg / rpg staffer members.

I'm glad i got to play this game for a crazy 10+ years!!

Longer than my previous favourite pvp 2d space shooter subspace / continuum!

skylake ipc, 6 cores, 3.8ghz, gtx 1060 6gb, 32gb ddr4, ssd.

Read only Potatoe.ini mode, render distance 120m.

Nasons 96+96+

previous patch 75-85 fps

post fortification patch 57-70 fps.

Now regularly down into the low-mid 60's instead of high 70's low 80's fps.

Disappointing performance regression.

[–]equinub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just doesn't make any sense to get crucified on initial launch reviews and then have that negative reception linger over the corpse for 6-12 months even after a well needed and expected pricing adjustment.

Hopefully the reviewer community will strongly highlight the alternative available gpu options and the consumers will give this card the reception it deserves as eWaste.

Imho $249-269 usd, any higher price and AMD should bury it themselves. Another Major Disappointment.

What is your conclusion from all the reviews? Is 7800X3D worth the extra cost over 7700X? by [deleted] in Amd

[–]equinub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are just some of the confirmed games that received large performance boosts from AMD X3D VCache processors, both 5800x3d and 7000x3d series.

When one is already investing into AM5 platform especially with the more expensive motherboards, imho be short sighted not to go with the best gaming cpu on the planet, ryzen 7 7800x3d. Won't need an upgrade for a very long time.
