*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

I never said I didn't enjoy the game, it just lacks direction at the moment.
Been in since the tech test also, it's had a lot of positive changes in the right direction but it still is far too early for release if you ask me - mainly because what you just said here:

Once the warp gates become active and they move the home gate to your home continent I fear that all we'll see is three different continents in 3 different colours and everyone will be just sat around drinking a nice cup of tea unless they add another continent quickly.

This will undoubtedly result in a stale meta, with nowhere to progress on the map and players getting tired of fighting on the same continent til they introduce more.
 
Is it just me but tonight you don't die and respawn. You just run around with no life? You have to quit and rejoin? Happens every time I get killed grr

It is aligned with the HUD, what you're experiencing is the point in which it actually fires from - not the center but on the left, the canon itself.

I know what the $%£%£ am experiencing thank you very much.

Ain't god damn aligned, what you see in your hud/crosshair is what the weapon system is meant to see and not this.

I don't expect to pull a trigger when looking down the sight only for the shot to go elsewhere.

Never fired a weapon in your life or something?
 
So I spent 450 certs on the "Lasher" which is the Ghostbusters gun.

Useless, god damn useless, more useless then the AA guns in this game. I caught three guys totally unware, one was scoped with his sniper rifle and was firing point-blank in his face and upper body. I couldn't see any damage being done to him, but he killed me in a few seconds.

I did manage to kill one guy with it, but it took a medic to revive me and am pretty sure the squad I was with did most of the damage.

Honestly, how can they put broken weapons in this game? Is it really that hard to type a few numbers to weapon stats?

Like I said before, bloody glad it's free, because I would be the biggest fool in the world to waste money on this game.

Have to say, this is the worst game I ever played regarding balance.

But there is something about the game that keeps bringing me back.

Ok well maybe I misread your initial post, so I apologise if so but is there really need to get so riled up? I personally haven't experienced what you're describing, and i've camped behind a lot of trees in the Prowler. When the turret is aiming towards the tree it happens but i've not had it as bad as you make it out to be - if what you're saying is the canon on the left isn't aiming AT the tree yet still hitting it.

Was racking up some points with the Skyguard on the Lightning earlier. NC were assaulting the crown, I pulled up behind some rocks and everytime the enemy aircraft came in for our tanks, a few of us unleashed hell and down they came!

Great fun, might go back for 30 minutes more, really should be in bed!
 
I am going to try and get a mic from somewhere this weekend. We really need to sort out a OCUK outfit. Any suggestions on what faction to do it as?

From what I've garnered from posters most of OcUK are split between the following outfits based upon faction:

SAS - NC
BRTD - TR
ISK - VS

Don't recall any others coming up. If you want to pick a faction however you should probably know that however the balance is currently will be very different to how it will develop over the coming weeks / months. Currently on the VS / TR weapons feel reasonably balanced between one another, NC are fodder until some tweaks get thrown their way. If you were to pick between TR / VS I'd say VS because Prowlers are fundamentally bad tanks and Magriders are fundamentally amazing tanks.

Any comment on the new meta-game stuff? Does it do anything to bring it slightly closer to PS1 and less like giant battlefield?

It's not in, patch was delayed until tonight. I'm hoping it will give you more of a reason to defend a particular base or make that extra push, too easy right now to just swap to the other side of the map or change continent if it's not going your way as there no real reason to fight an enemy when they're in full momentum, you're just asking to be farmed.

I think after the patch biolabs and tech plants will be high priorities with biolabs giving slow health regen after 40 seconds or so of none combat and techplants giving the ability to spawn main battle tanks in connected territories. Could see the end of some mag rider pushes if people cap tech plants from behind the push :D

There a release date for this yet? Of upgrade due pre-release :p
Click to expand...

10 days time - 20th November is release date.

Personally it's too early & they should delay until the new year to refine the game more. Doing big sweeping tests of such things as Bio-Lab control giving health regen this late in Beta isn't good.

True, the NC have swung from being hard hitters with slow rate of fire, to slow rate of fire, soft hitting squishies. Slightly out of whack balance tbh and something hopefully the Devs will rectify. Only problem they have is if they tweak the NC again, everyone player & his dog that hates NC will claim it's Matt Higby flexing is power. :rolleyes:
