    Hello. Sorry for translate.google. I can’t be silent any longer.

    There were few people in the game, the game became worse due to the lack of people. At the beginning of this crisis, I changed the faction, through the eyes of a beginner, the problems are as follows:

    1. Few signals and large intervals between them. My new character at the same distance is 2.5 times poorer than the old one. It is very difficult for beginners to get started.

    This spoils the gameplay itself by the fact that from 8 am on the hossin until 4 pm there can be only 2-3 alarms. It's even worse when you spend two hours on the map, and suddenly everything is reset .. start over.

    2. Due to the lack of people, balance problems are exacerbated:

    No countermeasures against the peacekeeper (plane with a big gun)

    TR tanks are too fast and busy with griefing.

    Vanu is above everyone else. Here we are not talking about a superweapon, but at least about the fact that the obelisk does not require ammunition. There are many examples of why it is uncomfortable to play against them. And they are all not in terms of a shooter.

    The robot tank is too well armed - it is too difficult to survive the sunder. The plane is too strong to hit a flying rib, and when it's big and easy to hit, it will bomb you. Have you ever tried to shoot him down with an anti-aircraft gun? it is similar to the situation with a large plane - it either leaves or comes when there is a window of opportunity for it. For him, not for you.

    The Marines are very strong. Paratroopers + c4 = you can wait two hours for an open landing and not wait. They die instantly. All other classes are completely dominated by skydivers.
    -
    The new design of bases, maps, economy gave the game nothing but a fall online.

    I ask you, players, to convey all this to the developers.

    The best time to have more players are evening hours around 5pm to 10pm (local time). During those hours, most server have good population, so may be it's only you play at low population hours.

    There's no marine nor paratroopers in this game. The one can fly in with C4 is a light assault class which a lot of people have already been talking about that need to be changed.

    You never survive in a sunderer when any tank is shooting at you, so when you see one, run away. Also, usually there are only 2 ways to survive in a sunderer.
    1st) when no one knows you are there, 2nd) when you are being escorted by someone else.

    There are 2 anti-aircraft guns, G40-Ranger & G30-Walker, and both of them are more of deterrence rather killing aircrafts easily. Also, both of them are effective in around 200 meter range because beyond that isn't easy for aircraft to aim at you either. You could try to use M20 Basilisk or M12 Kobalt, but they are not as effective as G40 or G30.

    I ask you to convey the problem to the developer in your own words and in the correct language. I have no choice, to play prime time, I play when there are very few people. And it is in this situation that balance problems arise. Newcomers do not want to play this, they are not just killed, but generally not given the opportunity to play. Big plane, robot tank and tr tank, paratrooper and c4. I drove only Sander for a year and I have the opposite experience of military operations, this is a very strong combat vehicle, but we are talking about something completely different: that open sandrers do not live, especially when there are few people and there is no one else who can be bombed from a peacekeeper or from a tank TR ... Every day I see infantry going into battle through the hexagon and dozens of abandoned motorcycle tanks, since this is not a combat vehicle, but just a taxi. An unprotected sander does not survive in conditions of poor balance and low online activity. A small example: when the biggest battle on the map is 12-24 people, then 1-2 peacekeepers fly there. And when online is high and there are 100+ people in battle, there are also 1-2 peacekeepers. In the first case, he has no enemies, and in the second there are many of them. When, in the first case, half of the newbies see it every day, they simply delete the game. This prevents the game from exiting the network situation. In addition to this, an economy in which a newcomer earns nothing - he physically lacks the strength to wait for alarms. You know, you can make a mistake with a map and sit for hours waiting for the alarm.

    The APC sunderer needs to either sneak around or have an escort. A buggy harasser shows up allot to destroy it.
    Tank zergs (large number of tanks) are an issue even during prime time. -but a apc should not be able to take a MBT.
    During prime time you have large number of air craft in air balls.
    The light assault /paratrooper + c4 is super annoying to deployed vehicles.
    There are a few cert line so 1 can not blow up your vehicle by himself. I favor the shield so it has more HP, an it recovers. The single 50 cal machine gun does a good job at shooting them down if you are gunning.
    Stealth is the other way to go with a full cloak it can hide a little longer but you have to find areas that will take them a while to find. But that takes more certs.

    The easiest way to earn certs as a new player would be support role, medic or eng. Medic if you can find a group of a few people to to rez. The problem is not every one enjoys that role.

    One option is look at the time zone of other serves and how bad your ping is when connecting to them. We have US, Europe and Asian time zones. If you can get a good connection to a time zone with higher population you might have more fun.

    The key to your problem is with lower pop it is harder to fight a tank or bomber during low pop. (I favor the spawn apc so I know you pain you almost need to be part of a main push to make it the base or sneak in.)

    The game is honestly just going to crap with all the bad stuff coming from the devs. Truly sad

    This company should probably be more worried that the Hackers and Third Party Programmers have more control over this game than THEY DO..
    Why should anyone pay for the game or anything in it, when the Hacks control what actually goes on in the game... lol.. Why shouldn't we all just buy the hacks and cheats instead..
    and that is what everyone else HAS DONE apparently..

    This game has bigger problems than some balance issues, or some OP GUN. They cannot get people to play it for more than a month before they quit, cause of some guy cheating with ESP, or some guy in a MAX Flying around, or some Speed hacking infiltrator knifing everyone.. lol

    New people are literally chased out of the game.. by griefers, bullies and harassers using cheats..

    I don't mind paying for any game.. but why should I pay these people for a product they are not even in control of... they don't even run the game or are in control of what goes on IN THE GAME.. is there even an ADIM on at any point?... if so about 50 people should be banned every hour.. lol
    Every Third Person has ESP on apparently.. lol you see it constantly..

    Are they trying to tell us that I can say Taco, with my phone in the other room and then constantly get adds for Tacos for an hour.. but they cannot even detect cheating and hacking or a third party program within their own systems.. lol

    I mean What, they cannot even hire ONE GUY to play the game.. ****.. I find 10-30 cheaters a day EASY.. ESP, EASYAIM [SmoothAIM], FastLegs, AIMBOT.. etc.. Guy ran right up a tower wall the other day, right into the A point.. as a Heavy Bot. and people on chat were like; did you see that too?

    They cannot get people to play this game cause everyone who plays it Feels Cheated.. even if they are NOT.. because everyone knows its going on.. so every little weird thing that happens.. you think its a cheat even if its NOT.. but most likely is... cause THAT is what the game has Become... Cheating has been Normalized..

    That is the REAL ISSUE..
    None of their other games have this kind of issue... Just this one, with these specific developers.. Cheaters are going to cheat, but it shouldn't be the Norm.. Its not in any of their other games.. Just this one..

    Hell, people joke about how bad cheating is in this game, and how they ignore it and never do anything about it.. even when that guy ran up the wall... or the other day when there was a MAX flying around..

    Its why the game has Failed.. and is stuck with just a Niche Community instead of the hundreds of thousands of people who should be playing it with more servers than these people can think up names for..

    This thing should be looking more like StarCitzen by now, than what it currently is.. They have practically had a decade to fix and change the code.. even if they did make a PlanetSide 3, I wouldn't bother. They create the same type of game over and over PS1, PS2, are just games for cheaters.

    No whales are coming in here, that's for sure.. This could have been a multi million dollar franchise, but these people only think about the next marketing scam.. to sucker people into the game.. and hope they buy stuff before they realize its a hack cheat-fest in here and leave..

    The only thing left in this game is a Niche Community of Cheater.. and its getting worse.. believe it or not.. I know I am dropping my monthly fee.. What's the point.. 2021 and the game is still a worse cheaty mess than it was in 2013 that drove everyone out of the game then.

    Insuring people can log on and play a fair and honest game with everyone should be their #1 priority.. Not making an OP BOT.. no one expect to log into this kind of mess in 2021.. in what is considered a "Quality MMO Game".

    The entire game is an imbalance mess as it is.. as they have been MARKETING... items.. one power up after another YOU CAN BUY.. its why the game is an imbalance mess..

    No one should be paying for this mess.. The game needs an entire NEW Development Team.. these people have been doing noting but driving 90% of their customers away for a decade.. cause they WONT fix the actual problem.

    It all feels like one big CON.. like they created the game, and created the hacks... and are trying to sell both.. caues what company sets back and lets another COMPANY ruin their franchise... tell you what kind.. NONE.. cause they would be out of business quick.

    This should have been the Best FPS ever made... and could have been.. but its a disreputable company, run by disreputable people, for a disreputable community of players.. The only people who play this game are cheaters, everyone else leaves..

    This game is a relic of a bygone era of bargain bin $2.99 games from the 90s.

    Hell, I don't even remember, but I think I had to pay like $30 bucks for this game when it first came out..? So long ago, I cannot even remember what email I used.. lol

    One thing is for sure... No way this should be On STEAM.. not without a big *** warning label on it at least.

    I don't know, maybe we should all just get flying MAX's..

    Yesterday. Desert, cobalt 5> hours without alarm. During this time: Wanu captured the territory. Refresh the map. TR have seized territory. NC took over territory. And many more times everyone took over the world. Then everyone got tired. Result: without protection, 70% of the bases surrender without a fight by all factions. Tired to such an extent that enemy infantry ignores equipment and vice versa. Tanks play against tanks, medics chase saboteurs. The planes are also busy with each other. Nobody cares about capturing the base. I buried the armored vehicle with my forehead in a stone and fired at the mountains for 50 minutes from the equipment that was at a foreign base. Then about a third of the disputes were settled by the pilots. Do you want a base? - fly and run, resting your feet on the points. Everyone is already tired of this. Newbies cannot make money. The game of conquering the world loses all meaning, there is no reward for it.
    The game requires constant territory capture modes. And awards for participating in them. Otherwise, new players have nothing to do here.

    Well basically, during dead hours, its just resource farming time and very inefficient grinding.
    They should trigger mini alerts more frequently during dead hours and/or add solo missions
