North American servers are going to be merged soon, EU servers already have been. I would hope this would bring life back to the game, as many people on the NA west server have simply quit due to low population numbers

Its a PVP mmo exclusively, unless you count aimbots and other such scripts on the asian server, or blowing up unguarded construction bases

>>1531189 (OP)
Pretty sure there was an active conspiracy to deliberately depopulate the server to force a merge, so hopefully the discord faggots stop ruining fights and the game is more playable

For the record when i say "pretty sure" its not that there might not be a conspiracy, just that im not sure which server they're on

Was decent many years ago when they let you jump around and capture things.
Enjoyed it when new. Had strategy and let small groups accomplish things. Also made the 3 competing faction mechanic fun.

After that was ended it seemed to just become one sided steamrolls and much simpler. There is always a giant frontline, and being anywhere else is pointless. That removed the whole cool factor of a giant pvp planet since at any given time most of the map is unused meaning in reality it is like playing the much smaller maps of typical shooters, just with more players.

Granted once that change and the results were apparent I never got on again.

You are referring to the old hex system? It was replaced with the current lattice system for good reason.

Merges aren't gonna do shit. Above all else, the game is dying because 95% of fights are one-sided slogs where you stare at a (spawn) door for 15 minutes, and until that's fixed there is absolutely zero reason to bother with this game.

Miller now has almost twice the population, 1200 24 hour peak, that means on weekends it might push pas 1500. that will at least bring back the massive battles of old, for a time

Hex encouraged ghostcapping which is far worse than zergs, and the latter was an issue predating lattice. Player freedom should not come at the expense of gameplay, and while the current system isn't perfect by any means it saved Planetside; we're still here shooting 'mans 12 years on are we not?

>>1547378
This is the main issue with the game, or rather continent/base design. The former dev's blog posts >>1545096 shed much light on the how's and why's, and the only solution is labor-intensive: continent overhauls. Following Hossin's design philosophy, which took lessons learned from the first 3 continents and was made with lattice in mind, every base must be capable of supporting massive fights. Attacker/defender spawns should be equidistant from capture points, and the paths connecting them littered with cover to break sight lines. No idea about vehicles and I won't say anything until the nanite economy is fixed. Shielded sunderer garages are a bandaid solution but these should be generously sprinkled throughout the game world as a stopgap measure, though perhaps the devs should make the generators destructible like the ones at containment facilities.

Maybe it is was stupid spawn room slogs against too large to defeat zerg rushes and people being too hardcore and tryhard. I think this game would be fucking cool if you had as many players as it has even now but also some roleplay aspect to it, but I guess these things are too hard to balance out with how many players there can be and how there can be a disbalance between faction numbers.
It's frankly the only mp fps game that I liked tho, because at time when you can have big even fights and tug of war going it's amazing.

when you joined a platoon for an alert, you get that kinda roleplay if you obey orders. And it usually came down to that: which side followed orders the best. That was the meta-skill for winning: Organization and getting players to roleplay along instead of lone wolfing it.

I have some nostalgia for it, but the game was a broken unfinished mess when it came out and they didn't take anyones suggestions of making it supply runs part of PS2 like it was with PS1. Buzzcutpsycho said it best back in 2013. Shame his video is no longer around.

>The primary goal of Archaeotech weaponry is to introduce a new, visually striking weapon that aligns with the theme while integrating seamlessly into existing gameplay. This will introduce unique mechanics and features that offer new tactical and strategic opportunities. The weapon mechanics include a mixture of energy-based fire, utilizing heat management systems, as well as biologically enhanced kinetic rounds. Additionally, these weapons will come with their own unique attachments.

>Archaeotech will not be an instant update, but rather a gradual evolution of the game over time. Over the course of the year, new elements of Archaeotech will be released, expanding on its visual and gameplay aspects. This will include new vehicles, weapons, and features, all tied to a larger mystery and evolving narrative.

I unironically have never felt infil was more powerful or unfair compared to anything else, and I can only imagine the reason so many people have a problem with it is because it seems to directly counter heavy assault more then anything else and the vast majority of players play heavy more then any other class or vehicles.

Hackers have been a blight on this game since release
Games like these require human control to judge the statistical outliers and ban them efficiently. They, as every other company, wanted to save costs and relied on automatic systems which are easily bypassed by custom subscription hacks.
This killed the game for me. Even though I have like 2k hours in it.
Doesn't help that every time someone "popular" is obviously hacking everyone starts defending them with "lel git gud".
Maybe this could've been curbed somewhat if game didn't try to pander to eSports artists.

This is because it's full of 200 samey weapons with attachements. The ones that actually feel different are usually shitty gimmicks. Compare to PS1 where every weapon can instantly be recognized by sound and has its own strengths. Still, the actual shooting part of ps2 is way better than the fucking a/d/a/d/a+crouch nonsense and awful netcode of the first one.


>>1558521
The game launched to a pretty poor state, most of the major changes they made to it made it closer to PS1 (a good thing). Ultimately I stopped playing because it felt like I wasn't doing anything. I could kill like 8 dudes in a short period of time and it wouldn't accomplish anything because of how quick respawns were, I pretty much stopped completely shortly after the new knives came out. I sort of missed the downtime in PS1 when you're just traveling to a base and had to fly over the wildeness a bit before getting to your objective. PS2 made logistics absolutely optional. Oh your base on the other side of the map is being attacked? You can just spawn there!


oh and ps2 implants are fucking cancer

Default gun is fine
Rotary is better for dueling once you get comfortable with leading or if you're in a big air fight you can unzip it in someone's ass and take them out in a single magazine (hopefully)
Locust is okay, better for harassing libs and gals but has so much ammo it can help you learn to lead shots against other ESFs
Banshee is a2g infantry farming only (it sucks after like 3 waves of nerfs and you're better off packing an A2A gun + rockets)

Same generally goes for all faction ESFs, except the A2G guns vary a lot. Airhammer can still one shot infantry, and is able to actually hit other things in the air. PPA is surpisingly not shit anymore because its the only one that didn't catch nerfs over the years.

Pre-nerf it was just objectively the worst one. Then banshee and airhammer caught nerfs but the ppa was left alone so now they're all pretty much even and i'd even be as bold to say the ppa is slightly better now since you can bomb peoplpe from a significantly safer distance where the banshee and airhammer have to get within Deci range to be effective. Banshee especially had its splash damage nerfed so hard you can still sometimes fail to kill more than 1 person with flak on

Absolutely awesome game I played almost ten years ago. The feeling of running around as an engineer repairing lines of tanks and sunderers while shells, nades, rockets, hailstorms of bullets, the voice emotes, and aircraft dogfights overhead was amazing. Literal FPS ASMR. I have never played an FPS like it and it's scale was everything I wanted to see from other FPS games (huge Starship Troopers MMO battles 24/7). Sad that no one has tried copying the FPS MMO formula, to my knowledge. The only thing PS2 is missing is naval combat, but I guess infantry, armor, and air is already hard enough to balance.

The map design plays heavily into it but for the most part it just turns into tank stalemates until one side starts salt OSing the other or a third party jumps in.
Tridents are cool but are just an attacker farm with how easy it is to spawncamp, defensively its near impossible to win. Same situation with the Interlinks. It's all really spawncampy with pretty much the only recourse being to abandon the base entirely and pull a fuckload of vehicles from the next hex over and bomb them out that way.

Make Planetside 3 with modern graphics, modern HUGE map sizes, smooth 1000 vs 1000 battles and (here's the important part) DONT fuck it with pay2win and letting hackers run rampant.

Planetside is still more technically impressive than any other game in existence. There's no other game that handles hundreds of players as smoothly as it, most modern games shit the bed with 4+ players and run like dogshit on a $500 graphics card. Granted PS2 ran like ass when it released but it was still very functional, even with thousands of bullets flying all over the place.

It's so depressing to think that gaming is actually getting worse from a technical standpoint as time goes on. I remember playing this at release and thinking about how there would be a VR version by now with thousands of players, how wrong I was...

Not really. PS2's issue is that the game was built around the CPU and not the GPU. Same issue with EQ2 where the game was CPU bound (single core ffs) and had optimizing issues throughout its life.

The network coding that allows the massive battles with thousands of players playing simultaneously in the same, huge map is secret, and probably the current devs don't even know how it works, nobody does. For example, star citizen still hasn't figured out how to do it despite it being the entire core of the game they're making, and despite the billions that are being poured into it (supposedly), not even battlefield manages to do servers with more than 200 people fighting togheter and other MMOs with persisent warfare, like foxhole, divide the map in many smaller servers with a player cap. This alone is preventing the creation of a new MMO FPS with massive battles like planetside, even just to make a spiritual successor and the reason why ps never had any competition.
Daybreak is going to go bankrupt sooner or later, after the flop of Planetside Arena they sold the IP to a chinese company, and, as you know, the game is being kept in manteniance mode by a new dev team unrelated to daybreak (the old devteam of Dirty Bomb IIRC), we don't know if they have any future plans, but I doubt they intend to make PS3, certainly not with the current CEO.
The game doesn't really need "modern graphics", PS2 on release looked incredible, they downgraded it pretty hard to make it run on the playstation4 (I still miss the transparent biolabs), a possibile future PS3 really just needs HD textures and the old graphics to look good, but what's really important is optimization, regardless of graphics, it needs to run well.

One of the biggest problems is budget bloat. AAA games easily go over $200mil now and studios only make games which they believe will be a return on investment. PS2, despite its technical prowess, is most likely regarded as a failure since Sony shuttered the studio soon after its release.

Talking about vision though, in the hypothetical situation that a company made Planetside 3, or an equivalent, there would need to be some kind of matchmaking system to separate new players and vets. PS2 is far too hostile to new players; it's not just confusing but also they can easily find themselves getting farmed again and again by the same high-level players. Those of us that stuck it out managed to get past that stage, but as wrel mentioned ages ago, the game had like a 99% turnover rate for new players which never bothered to stick around and find out how amazing the game could be. That was the biggest factor in Planetside's downfall.

The game turned into a soft pay to win meatgrinder. I started playing in the beta and put a few hundred dollars into it, and I notice how often the FOMO weapons would get nerfed after they were deliberately made to be OP at first. Then they changed the whole system and it became even MORE of a meat grindier. In the beginning of the game the default loadouts were perfectly usable. Later in the game I don't think that was probably true but I haven't played in years.

144 (my refresh rate) in calm spots like in the pic, only a few vehicles and dues
Dips down to 80-90 in huge biolabs zergs. Even at max graphics settings it seems to hold about the same, I just turn everything down because all the bloom and fog and shit is actually a detriment to gameplay by making it hard to see.

Could probably pull a higher average using an actual distro and being more specific about which proton version i'm using but i'm lazy, just clicked install on steam and it set it all up for me including the battleye runtime.

Its definitely pay to grind less, 10k certs for your first ASP is pretty fucking steep. Second or third ASP you don't really feel it as much because by then you're actively looking for something to sink certs into so they stop capping.
Even then to be able to do all that for free is impressive whereas I dont think I could last an entire season on path of exile without dumping $20 on stash tabs.

I just laugh when people point at the ridiculously overpriced $20 guns and go SEE ITS P2W!!!! not realizing that its like maybe 1 continent alert to buy 2 or 3 of those with certs permanently.

Yeah, 1,400 certs for a new gun and attachments doesn't take too long. Maybe if they're not doing anything and just playing super casually it could take a while. These events have been spoiling me though.

nowadays there totally isn't, certs fall from the sky and all the events (and sometimes the public XP boost weekends and stuff) mean you're never really lacking on certs

1400 is probably the absolute most you could spend on some of those NS guns since they have fucked up weird prices on attachments.
MSW-R is 350, Rhino 650
T5 AMC is one of my favorite carbines and that's only 650.
Arbalest, Vanquisher, and SAW are 1k but yeah those are literally "guns you will be using for the next 100+ hours" so putting in under an hour of play to obtain isn't the horror that newfags make it out to be.

Resupplying tanks with a sunderer or ant was fun but I don't really know what to do half the time.

Surely not on Emerald right? The only regular platoon on TR is yeeb's shitfest and all they do is shout over eachother about whatever fotm /pol/ topic is happening.

>but it feels like I miss every shot with most TR guns
TR guns have some of the worst horizontal recoil so you have to manually burst your shots or you just plain wont hit shit.

>Resupplying tanks with a sunderer or ant was fun but I don't really know what to do half the time.
That's helpful especially in larger vehicle columns, honestly just do whatever feels fun alerts are just a reason to fight and not that important. It's like those sandbox RPGs except instead of farming cabbages for a year you're farming certs off heads, or resupplies or heals.

At least that's how I play, my kdr dips negative whenever I fixate on something stupid like sneaking around a player base just to play chicken with whatever autismo fort builders are hanging around.

The biggest changes they've made are the EU server merge, the sunderer rework, new facility on esamir, and the reverting of some of the ctf bases. Oh, and the botched Emerald > Connery merge. Outside of that it's just been event directives and random changes to gun sounds for the most part.

The fish are based on the continent, one puddle on Indar is the same as all the others on Indar. In the Collections tab you can see descriptions of all the fish and it'll say what specific size they are (small, medium, large) and where they're located. You've just gotta mix and match the right bait/attractor and be in the right continent to get whatever fish you're after.

Waiting for the right place to open up is the only real pain, rest is easy enough. My robot has a bucket hat now so I'm satisfied.

The most kills I've done in an hour was like 300 with the piston before the buff, arx'd that in a single sitting but that was year ago. In general directive weapons are retarded as ever to unlock and while 70 hours sounds like the higher/shitter end of time taken, I would say my average was closer to 30 hours per directive gun and I'm a 2.5 k/d shitter who mostly plays engi and light salt.

I can actually see it taking longer cuz a way higher % of planetside players that are left are among the elite and if your enemies are harder to kill directive grind will take longer. I've basically given up on getting any more cuz I need to adjust my playstyle around elite heavy assault mains way more often then I used to, and if I don't I'm just fodder and better off flying around in a reaver ganking ground pounders with rotary.

The best time to directive farm was when oshur dropped and there was hoards of retards playing due to fotm twitch streamers, but those years of mindless hoards to farm are long gone and you REALLY need to earn it now.

I spent a lot of time trolling connery TR and their ridiculous boomer mil-sim leadership that would lose their absolute minds anytime even a small unit from an opposing faction did something to them that they didn't expect. At one point they were actually trying to establish genuine rules of engagement for all 3 factions. There was so much drama, it was hilarious.

I've come back to play here and there but its nowhere near the same it was for the first 2-ish years post launch.

redditors are mindless zerglings that want to farm and be farmed, to them the game is just shooting planetmans and not playing the objective. why do you thing they all immediately swarm to biolabs/containment sites/map center bases the first chance they get? or pull massive armor columns that contribute nothing to an attack and actively fuck over their friendly forces inside the base by attracting more enemies? these same faggots cries for sundy buffs for years because they 'die too quickly to dedicated solo LAs or tanks' as if you're not supposed to defend it yourself as the attacking party. why even employ tactics at all when redditors can just keep screaming for sundy buffs until every base has a permanent attacker spawn room that can't be destroyed or otherwise disabled?

The funnier part is it isn't a counter to HA at all, you can't 1shot them through their heavy shield. If anything HA is the soft-counter to infils (hard counter being other infils). They REALLY don't know how to respond to the dreaded scout rifle HA.
People regurgitate this bullshit probably because that's the talking point of TF2 where Sniper can actually 1 shot Heavy.

Bolters can one-shot through both NMG and Adrenaline shields, it's only Resist (and only if the heavy is above like 900hp so any random chip damage ruins it) that can withstand the headshot. Though I guess if you're one of those shitters shooting from render distance dealing minimum damage, then they'll live, sure.

Maybe I just run into a lot of resist heavies, i'm bad at the whole long range sniping thing so i'm mostly suck doing CQC bolts whenever I get that itch and I have like a good 50% failure rate when it comes to plinking HAs.

It's crazy how all they had to do was put the OHKO sniper rifles on a class that isn't invisible and also packing full map motion detection, but no, they combined it. No one would give a single fuck if it was on Engineer, but no. Give them invisibility and wall hacks on top. Fucking Higby, man.

Craziest part is they somehow realized shotguns and carbines would be an issue but not ohko bolts

I would take shotgun infils over bolt infils any day of the week, at least then they would have to play by half of the same rules as every other class

I'm still mad. If you're in farting range of someone you SHOULD lose to a shotgun. I should have farmed the aurax out while I had the chance, pumps feel like such dogshit now.

Mattocks got a separate nerf, in fact basically all MAX guns got nerfed hard but even so the NC one still excels at close range which is exactly where you want to be in a MAX.
TR's a close second because it can perform well at midrange and some other funny niches, but VS's max is just sad.

Those old posts from the game designer really hammered home why ps2 was so fun, and why any sequel will probably miss the mark. Fundamentally the game was made like a sandbox, and most actions you could do would contribute to your war effort somehow.

But because there's no pressure, no metric to optimize other than 'kill red dudes capture red bases', you can find your own fun. I remember I got my friend into it who didn't like competitive fps much, simply by having him be my tank gunner. Eventually he wanted to drive harassers, and we'd pull stupid stunts like finding the best rocks to ramp off into bases.

It was also cool how the aircraft worked, I played this quadcopter sim a while ago and couldn't stop thinking how cool something like this would be in an mmofps. Who knows, technology is improving, maybe some scrappy upstart studio makes the next best thing.

yeah the increase in AMR usage ever since they got buffed into being snipers really cut down on the viability of maxes since now every infil main can offclass as an engie and pick up easy max kills while working on the sniper aurax. the JGX-12 would be usable if we had the old vanguard overshield so you could survive getting close enough to brawl with it. if anything the JGX-12 should've been a big railgun or a gigantic shotgun for the memes.

Maybe i missed a nerf, but last i checked you had the healthiest tank with the best regen from nimitz and like 80% damage reduction from the shield, AND jgx is the highest burst damage in the game.

How are you complaining when im over here picking between the magrider who's special talent is scumming sundies from a mountain, and fucking chimeras who get a giant hitbox and a top gun that cant shoot backwards. Even if i swap to TR, yeah i get slightly ahead on damage when i have the 30% fire-rate boost up, but i also have a longer peek window because burst fire, harder firing while moving for the same reason, harder plane sniping for the same reason, and my faction special is "you cant move and optionally get a bigger hitbox that glows so everyone knows where to shoot"
If i could i would swap to the vanguard on every faction, its got the best stats by far and a rock bottom skill floor

Plus

admittedly I haven't used the nimitz since the buff so it might be better than I remember, but it doesn't matter that the vanguard gets the forward shield since most fights take place at long range where the prowler and magrider are king. a squad of lockdown barrage prowlers will kill render distance vanguards before they get close enough to properly brawl, magriders abusing their antigrav faggotry to dodge every shot at range goes without saying. idf you try to cqc fight against a vanguard then of course you're going to lose, but if you sit back and snipe at them from long range you're going to win most of your engagements. chimera is just a sad sack of shit that's only good for being a ghetto colossus and really needs the havoc ability that was tested on it to be anywhere near useful as a support tank.
Also
>gauss/GODSAW
No longer 167min damage weapons, a fair nerf since they were pretty busted before.

It still is, the only nerf it got was from a 4 meter burst range to 2 meter, so you have to aim a little bit at least now instead of just hipfiring into the sky. It's still quite disgusting and I love it.

>a squad of lockdown barrage prowlers will
A squad of anything will kill anything bro
A squad of lancers dropping out of a valk on the nearest mountain will erase every single tank on the fight.
A squad of fags with AMRs will do close to the same thing.
A squad of valks buzzing by with pelters will take out anything they feel like, a bastion included since i'm pretty sure they never nerfed the pelter damage type doing insanely more against bastion weakpoints.
Hell, a fucking squad of chimeras at render range with the no-drop cannon would do even better because they don't even have to aim since we're talking about the most ideal perfect scenarios.

Fuck magriders though I agree

Yeah, there is nothing quite like this game, that I played.
I need to return. That said, there is a certain balance in the game where it can easily turn not fun when one side starts to zerg too much and such. It's when you get a decent tug of war when it starts to get fun. And when people avoid camping spawn locations too much.

The shitty performance, balance, and so on did not bother me because the gameplay was fun and there simply isn't anything like PS2 on the market. But then they changed the respawn system which made fights end a lot quicker, and then even worse they introduced Oshur where fights didn't even fucking happen in the first place.

All I wanted was to sometimes drive a tank, sometimes shoot mans, and sometimes mess around with the people doing those other two things.

I like to read global chat in Star Citizen on NA servers sometimes though, but simply writing "ahh" in global is certainly forgivable unless it is using excessive pornouns or toxoid professional antifa hate-4-hyre.

Hex system was GOAT. Smaller outfits fighting smaller outfits lead to some interesting battles. Anti ghost capping squads was fun and high pressure.

If you wanted a big ass fight/zerg just go to the crown. They should have redesigned the other maps to have crown like center battles on other continents.

Instead we got the gay lettuce system.

The game was even better in beta back when galaxys could spawn troops like a sunderer/ams. It appears they added that back into the game as a module years later.

I miss the hex and the change to lettuce killed PS2 for me.

It sort of can, any squad can spawn into a flying galaxy and leap out of it.
Hell, you can do it with a valk. 3 valks and you can endlessly drop your entire platoon on top of a base to die and respawn in the valk and drop right out again. Really underrated tactic I don't see often. Granted all it takes is one retard in the spawn room to start shooting at the valks but hey.

The real secret sauce? A Flash with the Logistics Spec implant can spawn your entire squad directly into the room you drive in. That shit is peak clown car ops.
