Oh wow. Will we get decent Quartz Ridge battles again?How's population nowdays btw?
>>335735402
its pretty good on primetime on emerald (every other server is in pretty sharp decline) but its about to explode when they launch the new ad campaign.
>>335735508
I really hope so since I'm on cobalt and can't be bothered to farm all the certs again. Man, I'm hopeful it will kick off, I miss playing that game
>>335735202
SCV good to go sir!

>>335735402
There's a lot of playerson PS4,no problem finding big battles.
As for PC, I'm unsure, haven't played that version of Planetside 2 since 2012
>>335735202
>implying i touch P2W shooters.
>>335735202
Who the fuck asked for base building...wtf
What it the playerbase like now, I haven't played for over a year
>>335735990
pretty streamlined. its either the hardcore or stayed or lots of new players that get wrecked. but plenty of shitters to sustain yourself on.
Neat, but are there full sized activate-able swords yet? I want my chainsword/HF Blade/lightsaber.
like fallout 4 style or starcraft?
>>335737384
not "full sized" but yes. i have more kills with this than any other weapon. they're just this fun to use.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyrP4HTbWEg
So can I just be a miner all day and still be credit to team?
>>335737847
yea they kind of desinged it to be like that. there are player placed silos that you deposite mined rescources into. you have to protect convoys of SCV's or else the resources never get there.
but is it gonna run like shit?
is the new player experience still fucking brutal?
>>335738034
runs pretty great now. they did a otimization overhaul a few months ago. i can usually get 50 fps in fights with over 90 people.
everytime i reinstall the game the following happens
>oh cool why did i stop playing again this is pretty fun
>instantly vaporized by a vanu weapon from a million miles away
>uninstall
>>335737528
Oh yes I am aware of the knife versions. I was just merely hoping that they would take the next step and go nuts with swords.
>>335735202
>Planetside re-launch
fuck you, I thought it's about the first game
>>335738495
>Quitting because some faggots in purple spandex killed you.
>>335735931
>being this bad
>>335738528
they could probably just make it a cosmetic if they really wanted. theres the machete cosmetic, that's about as long as sword.
>>335738751
Well i got 200+ hours out of it when i first played regularly but all I did was infilshit with an smg since it was super easy to go on massive kill streaks with that
trying to get into it again is a bit meh
>>335738112
I played for the first time last night
I got the drop on someone and started shooting him in the back
He had enough time to turn around and instantly eat through my shields and health and keep on going
Fuck tiered gear
>11 posters
You sure love shilling this game huh op?
>>335737971
Sounds neat. Is there a whole skill line to upgrade related to it or is it just the Ant thing
>>335735931
>P2W shooter
>default LMG is the best in the game
what is being a nigger like?
What did they actually change in the update?
>>335735202
I'll get laughed at, but PS4 too?
>>335738947
light assualt is more challenging while also being more fun than smg runs. at least you didn't get burned out on HA like most people do.
>>335739069
added a base building/resource gathering element, and completely redesigned a continent to accomodate it.
now its a proper MMO RTSFPS
>>335739206
interesting. I might have to give it another look. I literally uninstalled a week ago after not having played it in about ayear
>>335739071
yes.
Do you still need to grind a fuck ton to be able to get anything without paying real money?
>>335739379
obviously
>>335737847
And I can harass the shit out of you
can't wait
>>335739379
if you make a new char, the first 15 levels give enough certs to completely optimize a class
>>335739071Likelyt. Ex-PC, now PS4 shitter
>TR will always be second class citizens
>>335739539
untrue desu
>>335735402
There's going to be a temporary population increase in Emerald next month, since Ross Scott will be playing with his fans.
Aw shit, looks like it's time to pick up the old Reaper DMR and free the shit out of Indar again. It's been too long.
>>335739624
yea it is. 1500 gets you a maxed out class ability.
and all the guns are sidegrades
>>335739767
I think you mean invade. New Conglomerate scum
>they couldn't just have done this when the game wasn't buried on the steam mmo list.
so we ace of spades now?
>>335739379
The best weaponsminus a few LMG'sare 1k certs each and demand a LOT of time investment. OR you could spend some money and get it in a fraction of the time. Your call.
>>335735410
that was fucking sick
>>335740052
no terrain deformation but the general experience of setting shit up and figuring out player made structures is about the same.
>>335740143
and most of them are worse than the default guns. especially NC guns for non HA.
once you make a smart purchase with the first 1000 certs though you make them a lot faster.
>>335739806
and what about all the other shit like armor
i remember playing for a really long time and barely being able to fully upgrade a single class because that damage reduction thing costs a fortune
>drive ANT around
>micspam it ain't me
>shoot some rocks
>build useless shit
>get farmed by vanu autism air squads
sounds comfy desu
>>335740320
Here is your (You)
I'm glad that they're not letting this gem of a game go to waste. How populated are the EU servers?
>recon drone sill on indefinite hold
what the actual fuck though. now we actually need for scouting peoples shit.
what's the meme clan for TR
>>335740320
no
>>335735990
It's a good thing. The game's a complete wreck, maybe basebuilding will make it less of a zergfest.
>>335740283
> Implying the Reaper isn't the GOAT assault rifle
Advanced laser even makes it a monster in CQB, as long as you keep it topped off
>>335739071
The game is on PS4 but the updates only on PC atm, just came out today.
What team should I join boys?
>kind of want to play but my character is in Briggs but im living in yurop
>my internet is spotty at the best of times
>current rig probably cant handle it anyway
Is it still jewy as fuck?
>>335740754
TR
DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA
>>335740754
TR - whiners
NC - retards
VS - cocksuckers
>>335740440
Miller is the most populated EU. not quite Emerald level but big fights aren't hard to find.
>>335740754
Terran Republic if you're a man. New Conglomerate if you're a baby or a memer. Vanu if you're gay.
>NC are retarded lemmings
>TR are boring milsim fags
>VS are actual autists
Pick your poison
>>335740754
>TR
Strike fast, strike long
>NC
Tanky burst.
>VS
TECHNOLOGY! and weapons that have no fall-off.
>>335740564
AoD collects all the bads and throws them at places until they win. they're primarily a zerginf outfit.
ECUS is pretty memey in that they specialize in a vehicle thats pretty poitnless
>>335740607
the indar redesign looks great. they've had 3 years of fight data to base it on.
>>335740754
VS has the highest average IQ and best vehicles.
NC has the best guns except for LMG's
TR isn't a actually a faction.
I haven't played in about a year, is the optimization any better?
>>335741181
>VS has the highest average IQ
Found the autist.
>>335740754
TR was the de facto team for 4chan, while reddit was vanu.
>>335740808
if by jewish you mean balance issues, some things are nerf hammered some things are not.
if by jewish you mean an arm and a leg for cosmetics that's still an issue. i think the game is a lot better now than it was at launch,.
>>335741273
Was anyone in particular NC?
>>335741308
How about the fact that you could pay money to skip 100 hours of grind which didn't unlock sidegrades but rather pure upgrades?
>>335741329
Normies that want to be the good guy
>>335741401
upgrades you still have to know how to use. a knowlegable new character can curb stomp a BR 70 bad with zero effort. there is no P2W aspect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRm6lrLOJN0
>>335741329
Just the cool people
>>335740948
is VS's autism or NC's retardation more entertaining?
When did this new thing happen? I don't remember base building being a a thing, and I was playing about a month ago.
Is TR still the best faction?
>>335739917
>Skubfag
>>335741262
have you played all three? VS has at least a reasonable IQ distribution.
>>335741329
>>335741273
NC and VS had an alliance on /vg/ against the TR shitposters.
>>335741831
and that's how you weed 'em out ladies and gentlemen.
>>335740808
Yeah it's still the same as it was three years ago. If you're okay spending an eternity grinding for objectively better weapons ala tribes then go for it.
>>335741625
That's what they said while vanu could one-shot anyone with 100% accuracy at 10x the visibility range, and anyone could bomb anyone from so high up nobody could touch them, not even other planes, let alone HA, and the necessary upgrades for that required so many points you'd just give up and pay up or just quit the game.
>>335735202
Does it still have optimization issues and take hundreds of hours of grinding certs to have any fun toys?
>>335740754
Vanu
>>335741813
litterally a few hours ago. its been in the works for about a year though.
>still playing Planetside 2
>>335741745
NC's retardation gets old after the 50th time you've been shot in the back of the head by your own team. Still better than the uptight milsim faggots who play TR.
>>335741860
>scrubs who needed to crutch on OP weapons decided to switch factions
ftfy
>>335739754
Speaking of him
>makes the ULTIMATE tutorial for new players
>immediately outdated because of construction system
Ross..
>>335741926
Yup.
I remember seeing first Planetside as an underage b& with a shitty computer and thrifty parents and thinking "Holy shit it's 3D Infantry." Is that how PS2 is?
>>335741926
Optimization patch was forever ago.
>>335741969

unless you play HA on nc. in which case kill yourself.
>>335741640

>>335735202
>basebuilding
>re-launch
they gotta do better than that lmao
>>335741907
they nerfed the orion, and A2G considerably. they're still problems but not broken ones.
>>335741745
NC's retardation, easily. People generally take the game easy as NC, but are terrible at it and will constantly teamkill you. NC will lose a 100 v 20 fight, but have fun doing it.
VS is a bunch of tryhard sperglords, but the guy next to you does know how to aim and kill someone who isn't on his team. If you accidentally teamkill a guy, expect his whole outfit to go turbo autismo and kill you on sight for the next two hours.
People who play TR are boring.
>>335741926
optimization no. grinding really depends on what you want. a fully certed tank yes, a single gun that's good, no.
>>335742047
Vehicle weapons, max weapons, high velocity sniper rifles and associated modules. HA is a strange class, they get good stuff early.
>JUST DELETED THE GAME A FEW HOURS AGO
SHIT
They should split the game like they did with H1Z1. They can split it into a game for VS v. TR and a separate game for NC v. NC.
>>335742043
pls, go back jerking off your bettlejesus and keklones
>>335742060
I tried PS1, gunplay wasn't as good as PS2.
But the mechanics were far better and it felt more like a sandbox.
I found the inventory system to be pretty neat, and most vehicles required at least 2 people to operate.
>>335741937
>not playing planetside 2
>>335741994
Not exactly outdated, it just misses the building and gathering part, the most important things are there
>still playing this awful trainwreck
jesus christ how do you people do it? just accept that this game is completely unsalvageable, its a massive turd and higby should be taken out and shot for this piece of shit
>>335742264
You deleted the game L I T E R A L L Y minutes before the patch came out.
That's fucking amazing.
>>335742475
nice opinion you nigger
>>335739583
As someone who mostly plays PS2 as an anti-air tank driver, this webm makes my dong rock hard
>>335742475
but it's fun. Don't you Like having fun? Oh right, this is /v/.
Why are the Vanu always edgy kids, tryhards and griefers?
>>335742475
higby was the one guy trying to save it.
>>335742475

>>335742635
>planetside 2
>fun in any way
pick one, 60 different ways to get insta killed with the fucking retarded cod-wannabe ttk they decided to run with this game + the ___TERRIBLE___ base designs and then top it off with the entire playstyle revolving around meatgrinder zergs, yeah real fun.....
oh and the 30fps they thought was fine for 2~ years, what a fucking joke this game is
Tried playing this on PS4 and it didn't make any fucking sense at all, could never tell whose base I was in or how vehicle spawns worked. Warframe was confusing too, it seems all F2P games are shit at explaining anything and have a shitload of unnecessary menus.
I was so hyped before this game launched. But I stopped playing after a couple months. I don't remember why.
>>335738968
Yeah, this was one of the reasons why I dropped the game. I'm not going to sit there wasting my time with utter shit battles being unable to do anything when I hose someone down at point blank but they kill me in two shots. That and most battles are just utter zergfests and rape my fps.
the mining creates frustratingly autistic reaction in me. when i see a crystal its like i need to get to get it.
just like those fucking snowmen.
>>335742862
>Get fucking destroyed
>Call the game shit
>>335735931
The game is a fucking mess but P2W is the last thing that its guilty of. Some of the best weapons in the game are the starter defaults.
>>335742876
The difference is at least Warframe has been optimizing and adding more of an early game experience to tell you that kind of thing
>>335742876
you might just be bad at video games, anon
>>335743010
except i have something like 5~ kdr playing medic/heavy only
eat shit, the game is plain awful just accept it m8

>>335742876
this is bait right? sorry sonybrony
>>335742653
You're describing TR. NC have fun. VS have fun. TR tryhard and rage and spout edgelord bullshit.

>vehicle weapons
like you really want everyone to get these right out of the box. and the starter tank guns are SO bad?
>max weapons
maxes aren't balanced inherently. they give you decent CQC max wepaons for less than 300 certs per arm. you can have an insta gib max for pretty cheap now

>still has a pretty large active player base
literally because its free, if it was a $40 game it would be completely dead
>>335743139
Nah, I'm pretty sure VS is full of kids, 90% of the VS infiltrators I see have a shitton of cosmetics, always carry either an SMG or expensive as fuck Sniper Rifle, and have retarded names like xXMasterSniperKillerXx, and I don't think it's ironic.
Also, there were these 3 faggots constantly ghost capping a base at like 3 am and camping the spawns, when I finally managed to drive them off they bought they're buddies and camped like 6 tanks around the base
>>335743517
>sub 300 spm

>>335742862
im sorry, planetside is for people with a greater situational awareness than a down syndrome 4 year old.
you might like call of duty though.
>>335743384
The game was always cpu-bound such that no matter your hardware you'd get 25-30 fps max.
>>335743570
Starter vehicle weapons are shit.
Starter max weapons are shit
High velocity is mandatory if you want to snipe at any reasonable distance, this is why the phaseshift is shit.
Kill yourself for defending shitty microtransactions.
>>335738112
This is what its like trying to be a new player with shit fps.

>High velocity is mandatory if you want to snipe at any reasonable distance, this is why the phaseshift is shit.
again, why should they be cheaper? sniping is cancer for most shooters this not exluded. a bloo bloo you cant ruin everyones fun right from the get go, fuck off. the privelidge to sit on your ass 5 miles from a fight and pick off people with the audacity to stand still for 3 nanoseconds should have a steep cert investment you dumb nigger.
kill yourself for advocating giving new players cancer playstyles for nothing.

standing a chance against older players by flooding your game with low BR players using cancerous weapons is how you kill servers you fucking mongoloid.
annoying, low skill/low risk investment playstyles SHOULD cost something to get into. they give every new player a semi auto shotgun. just go use that.
Can anyone show me the base building or is it still new no one has done it?
>>335741889
PS2 makes T:A look fair and balanced
>>335745474
do want to compare stats nigger? AR's are by design the best guns in the game. highest damage over distance, highest accuracy, and low recoil. the only sacrifice is mag size.
