So uh, if anyone's interested, I have a few videos of planetside up on youtube.

I'll just leave em here for y'all.

The ESF update has been taking longer than I expected, and certs were burning a hole in my pocket, so I went ahead and got lolpods. Now I wish I saved up for them sooner, they're ridiculously fun. Though I've developed an intense hatred for mosquitos now, so my next big purchase will be skyguard, and I'm starting to save certs for it right away.

[DJ]

So, people still playing this? I finally upgraded my computer and now I can run the game smoothly at high details, whereas before I'd run out of RAM and crash like every 20 minutes.

Anyhow, I just had to brag about an epic duel I had. I was an infiltrator deep in enemy territory. Just for laughs I took two shots at a mosquito that was filling up on a landing pad. Well, the pilot didn't take kindly to that so he decided to hunt me down. After like 10 minutes of me taking shots and then running away and him barely missing me with missiles, I managed to knock out quite a bit of his health. He landed, I thought to repair, so I emptied two pistol clips into the mosquito, having run out of bullets for my sniper rifle. Well, turns out he just did it to lure me out, and he killed me. But right after I died the mosquito blew up (turns out I did just enough damage) and took him out as well.

I'm waiting for a better computer and/or the performance upgrade to hit live myself. While I enjoyed playing, the framerate just got unbearable.

I'm curious as to what direction they are going to take the game when they're done with working on performance, them having undergone quite a bit of...restructuring. Didn't like the direction they took with developement post launch (lockons, harassers, ground to air, other problemetic design and imbalances), so I'm waiting to see where they take it next. Resource overhaul is a step in the right direction, I'm hoping they do a 180 on continuisly seperating vehicle from infantry combat to.

[Sonlirain]

I don't see anything wrong with ground to air.
Mos of those missiles are easely outran by ESFs and you need more than a heavy can carry to down a Liberator or Galaxy so thay have plenty of time to get out unless you're there with 6 friends camping a hill.

As for performance... when i first installed the game it ran perfectly and only got worse from that point on.
Now i'm barely able to fly a ESF because the darn thing slows to like 14 frames per second at times.
I bought this PC less than half a year ago for petes sake!
Hell it even has a Nvidia card (the one officially supported)... maybe the game hates AMD processors?

[MasterFancyPants]

I'm getting back into it. It seems getting certs is a lot easier than it used to be, I got over 100 last night in a few hours.

[OREOSOME]

Through a wineskin installation of the windows client for Steam, I can now install Planetside 2.

[Jim Groovester]

Yeah, still playing.

If you don't have alts from the other two empires, make them and log in once a week with them, so that you get the free 3-day xp boost from the World Domination Series they have going on. There's no need to participate, you just need to log in to get the rewards.

Having a 50% boost is pretty addicting.

[Toaster]

I got distracted by Minecraft and haven't been back.  I might... sometime.  Maybe.  Probably check it when the performance upgrade hits or maybe Hossin.

[Kanil]

I don't play all that much anymore. I still enjoy the game, but Mattherson is usually empty most hours of the day. It's midnight right now (late, but hardly that late) and there isn't a single battle that isn't 1-12.

A shame those server transfer tokens never materialized...

[Imofexios]

Have to say things have gotten tad boring lately.
Always tried to find side that is underdog given moment but still end up being on side that has
highest population. It gets boring for me to just follow the big group and take bases so easily.
Can't really say but it felt much balanced and more fun on PS1 ?
Still.. PS2 is tons of fun compared any other mmofps

Still playing, about 3-4 evenings a week, PTMC (semi-hardcore) outfit on Cobalt (VS).

Yesterday tried out the striker on a TR alt. WOW that thing is good. Now I know why I fear it.

Cobalt used to sport a steady 33/33/33 population, but lately it's been going all over the place, where TR or VS have the most pop. It's still a fun server, though, the "downside" being good airplay by some outfits, making it hard to make a name as a pilot. Both solo and doing outfit-ops I tend to avoid the zerg, I get a lot more satisfaction from the smaller fights.

[zombat]

The lattice removed all the strategic play, now its just a case of who has the bigger zerg.

[NullForceOmega]

I find the largest detractor to playing to be the incessant shadow capping and hacking, if I hit you FIVE times in the head with my rocket launcher you are supposed to be dead, not knifing me from behind.

[miauw62]

I stopped playing because:
1. You basically need an insane computer to play it with good FPS
2. lel more nc nerfs xD xD
