Blasmeister posted:The current model has ESFs virtually free - Air resources never mattered, so this is a step in the right direction Yep. As it stands if you're not a pilot ESFs are basically a free drop pod that you have more control over. Even if you are a pilot the only way you run out of air resources is if you're on a continent with no air resources and you keep pulling ESFs/Libs.

I was in a base with my magrider and managed to run over 4 (four) people, all VS, and I killed no one else. It was magical.

I never TK as much as when I'm so much as feathering the throttle on a Flash and there are friendlies anywhere nearby. It was particularly laggy and I was getting TK warnings while sitting completely still.

Epic High Five posted:Known things: This is accurate - though from what I've ssen on the test server you have to actually go to a terminal and pull a loadout to restock items, no more restocking cross-class consumables from the loadout screen while in the field. I don't know how I feel about that, it's probably good for the game but goddamn is it going to make nanites an annoying resource to manage.

Continents locking after an alert is a really dumb idea, I'm finding. You have this thing which is a great catalyst for the creation of fights and then after an hour or two you totally shut them down, creating a (sometimes significant) period of time in which there's nothing but ghost capping (unless it's primetime).

It fills me with sorrow that SOE hasn't reinvested more of Planetside 2's revenue into the game. If they dedicated more resources to bug fixing, polish, player orientation, and new gameplay content, the player base would be much larger. Circa Beta the game badly needed 3-6 months of extra polish. They got some cash flow from releasing early, but the persistent performance and balance issues, lack of new content during O:MFG, and to a much lesser extent the two-year absence of a PS1-style metagame have probably cost them a lot of players. I don't think the game is going to die but to get and keep subscribers SOE really needs to improve the rate at which they're releasing new content, and that isn't going to happen while they're pulling staff onto other projects. I saw a Radar_X post on Reddit saying it's natural for developers to leave a game "after release", but 1) Planetside 2 still doesn't have the polish of a finished AAA game and 2) the game didn't "release" with a full game's worth of content and it's F2P so you have to push out content to keep players interested.

Yeah, it's a similar problem to how facilities used to cap at fixed deadlines, whereas now the cap timer adjusts depending on the number of cap points held by each side. An arbitrary timer dictates how long the fight will last. Popcornicus fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Jul 16, 2014 |

I've noticed the NC meta being roll over and die on some alerts just to ghost cap an empty continent to lock it right after an alert.

Heh, that means in the time it takes for me to kill 100 enemies, I kill just over 3 friendlies, but you kill around 42 in that same timespan. Do you alternate your playtime between lashing, dropping mines and explosives under groups of friendlies and skittling dudes with your magrider or something?

This is true and it's hilarious to see happen, and if the meta is "have something locked for your faction" then it's a good strategy Hope you enjoyed your 3 minutes of half price tanks, nerds  The fights tend to be pretty good on the cont we're alt-capping too provided you don't follow any Zerg. At the very least it's no different than when the VS all piles onto Hossin or wherever to ghost cap it while ignoring all other conts

It's worse if I play while still fasted for whatever reason  Probably because by the time I can play the coffee has worn off and work has just ended. Pretty much just lentils and cheap cheap protein sources at the moment until the new job starts
