*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

Losing my patience with this game and the constant crashing. Been an auraxium member since launch but jesus christ do I want to smash my head against my monitor when I pull a Scythe and the game crashes.
 
Its times like this when I find a break is good so that's what I'm doing atm.

Seriously don't know why they put the liberator stuff in so soon... it was on PTS for what? 2 days? during which the server was really unstable.
 
Since I let my sub lapse I find it very difficult to keep my consumables stocked up. I'm down to my last 4 infantry mines at this stage, and I never, ever have enough resources to pull a max anymore. It's starting to feel a bit pay-to-play.

How did you forgot? Thought you played this as much as I did though I did have a break from the game for about two weeks with on and off playing for a hour or two.

No idea, I did! I moved this time last year and just got out of the habit of playing I guess with so much other stuff taking up my time.

Can still fly a reaver pretty well :D but there's so many more people flying around at level 90 with maxed out aircraft I get taken down fast.

This is why I will keep my subscription, the extra resources and queue jumping is a must keep.

Also TR's great leader came back and played a bit from the silly game hes been playing since he left, here is what he said.


I love Planetside 2 but I have to agree with him a lot. The game runs like crap, it's far from balanced and it's got numberless bugs and problems that annoy me.
 
I see what you mean about libs now IW - a skyguard lightning should be the scissors cuts paper for anything in the air, they shouldn't be able to just hover there and take it while you're pumping shells into them at close range.

Hey it's not just Skyguards, shooting at Liberators with tanks has been made much harder since their got their armour buffed and why? It already took a good amount of hits before and only then if you was lucky.

Really wish the Skyguard got buffed instead, it really needs Air Engagement Radar which slows all Aircraft within 200-300m plus their heights.

Yes, they been buffed against mostly tanks weapons so they require more hits then before or in some cases, the same amount of hits but not, something. lol, anyway it's all in the patch notes.

They also got three new weapons.

There is a new Nosegun that allows the pliot to aim now, you have like a 180" view of fire now but it's not as good as it sounds since you have to switch to first person view to aim it otherwise it fires forward in third person (unless my controls are wrong?) since the view inside is crap, it's not as useful as it sounds.

There is a new belly gun which fires smaller HE rounds called the Duster. It sounds great, it looks great to fire, it sounds great but it's pants. It's totally useless, it has such a large cone of fire that hitting anything is a joke and to control the shots you have to fire slowly, fire any faster and the shots start to go everywhere, that sounds balanced right? Well the good old Zepper does is miles better then this. I'm suspecting a buff to this weapon soon since it's pants.

The final weapon is a new tailgun which fires heat-tracking rockets at targets which is nice if the enemy are close but at any distance then it's pants too.

But all weapon mounts have more degree's of fire now so the Walker can "almost" fire at the same time as the belly gun.
 
I played the other day and I was invincible. I only noticed after running out of ammo, not that I killed many mind you. I stood around a little while a mag tried to shoot me and eventually logged in and out which fixed it.

Bug reported it, apparently its happened a few times. Wish I recorded it now

Yeah, that old bug is back and it's affecting everything from infantry to vehicles.

Reading reports of Libs landing on spawn roofs and just blasting away since they are invincible.

Higby has tweeted that players who "abuse" this bug fully will get banned while the others who didn't really "abuse" it will be fine.
 
HAVE WE ALL UPGRADED YET?

I haven't seen the pop ups.

Probably because Miller was down again last night and then my game CTD every single time I pressed login...
 
WTF??

I have not played the game since January and I logged in today and I was sent to the character creation menu??

I have spent over 150 hours on my character and now I need to start again??

Take a deep breath, read the very first notice on the launcher about how the game is down for maintenance, and then go and stand in a corner :)

Then maybe they should not allow the game to launch then if it is in maintenance mode??

You know like with other games like D3 or almost any other online game.

There is loads of crap in the info area,mostly about wanting you to spend more money or getting more rewards,etc. No wonder I ignored it.

Jumped on this again last night after a bit of a break and forgot how great it is.

For all its faults, it's basically the most epic scale game ever made. I often just have moments where I pause and just soak in the view of hundreds of players waging war. I was in a squad of tanks and we were attempting to defend an area against all odds. A huge TR zerg pushed us back but we were still loving it because of the fact that it felt like something out of a movie.

My lightning was pretty much wasted so I bailed and managed to run away and survive the zerg. Loved every minute of it.
