I played planetsidecraft building stuff around random places, and its hilarious how overly restrictive construction is. They need to reduce the no build zones by like 10%, some areas you simply cannot construct anything to help push/defend cause of overlapping no deploy zones from multiple close bases. A bigger problem is that there will be zero cortium nodes anywhere near the front line. In particular these problems plague me around Sungrey, the mountainous terrain didn't help matters either since automated turrets will take so long locking on then firing that whatever they were shooting would be in cover. When I needed to get cortium I had to end up driving all the way back to NC Arsenal, a base that really could have one or two of its like 5 nodes taken and moved around Sungrey.

Then when it comes to trying to put an anti air turret somewhere jeeze, this loving thing needs aircraft to be right up on it. Its range could be extendeed by a couple hundred meters

Shield ant with a bulldog is pretty nice against harassers who think you're an easy target :getin:

how do they work?
My mates all started playing, complained about how you're just cannon fodder and can't really influence a fight.

I immediately jetted over a sunderer, blew it up and the hill we'd been stuck on for 10 minutes was taken in the next 30 seconds.

Cert gain is definitely faster than release. And the game is still capable of producing some pretty rad moments like what you briefly described. That said, if there were any other game like it that did it all (or mostly) better I'd be over all over that in a heart beat. But there isn't, so I still play nearly 4 years later.

There's still a few of us playing GOKU and LWTX regularly, though we don't usually get more than a squad or two going at a time. The glory days of having a full platoon are gone, I"m afraid. :(

Briggs is still pretty decent at peak hours, 5-8pm but if you're on any time before or after that you'll be lucky to find a 24/24 fight going on. Still, it seems like the people who are playing are pretty consistent about it. It'd be nice if they'd do another doubel DB cash sale or x2 XP weekend or something.

Overwatch and WoW: Legion has claimed most of us. I quit playing on the regular when it turned into bad starcraft.

I spent yesterday being 1/3rd of the sunderer support for an assault. We were getting completely destroyed trying to take this point but my tireless efforts to get a sunderer on a different side of the base and open up the assault to a new direction helped us win the day! I felt good after that.

That's a big part of why this game is so good, at least for me, even playing solo there's a lot you can do to affect a larger battle.

I mean if Jorts were actually any good maybe people would give a poo poo about what he says. But he isn't so the fact that he's an insufferable shitlord as a person as well doesn't bode well for him.

Of the multiple annoyances in this game, snipers are pretty low down my list

- 80+% playtime VS betelgeuse heavies
- lolpods
- (loving) gatekeepers (gently caress gatekeepers)
- AV turret rockets STILL not rendering or showing you directional damage
- teleporters to biolabs now expose you outside of the shield so you get randomly killed using them
- The NC in general

Otherwise I think the game is still fun :shobon:

poo poo is it really that bad? It must have been like over a year since I last really played but that's pretty sad to hear. I remember when there was well over a full platoon every night and all sorts of wacky mumble logistics had to be done to accommodate it. Every couple months I think of loading the game up and then look at this thread and see that people are still complaining about the exact same issues that were there for literally years (like a lot of the bullet points in the post above me).

Playing with GOKU was some of the most fun I've ever had gaming but rip this dead game I guess. :(

Yeah, seems like DBG has just kinda tucked it into bed and doesn't seem to be rolling out any new content. Construction was pretty great, but seems like that was the last hurrah in terms of ANYTHING new being added. I mean, maybe every couple of months they'll add like a single armor options for some vehicles, or a new helmet here or there, but that's about all that can be expected.

I still play, but anything other than peak times of 5-6pm or weekends is pretty much dead/ghostcapping. Still, there's fun to be had.

How is "Dumbass 'teammates'" not on that list? Out of everything else I can try to stomach, but drat the people who are supposed to be on my side makes me want to kill them more then the enemies.

  • This is a loving outrage.
  • Okay.
  • Okay I guess.
  • This is a loving outrage the best part of high intensity radar donging is placing it close enough to be useful but far enough to avoid being detected.
