    Just had 160ish mb download. Now game insta crashes after character selection.

    We released a fix. Please restart your client for the update.
  4. kimsh030

    Will this update bring back Max jump sounds?
  5. RahulTheWaffle

    Hey Mithril, are there any plans to bring back the 8 year and 10 year anniversary bundles back to the store? I'd love to be able to pick up the Endeavour weapons and of course the Stormbringer axe. I saw all the other bundles are currently listed.

    Thanks!
  6. Xiaoxuesheng

    Why don't you change the damage of the instant knife back? There was a cool way to play it, but now this knife has no value at all.
  7. dxmuza

    Not to be apathic or anything... but when are you guys fixing the server lattency issues, the conexxion issues and the Emerald and Connery ping lowerd?
  8. Wodaz

    >The most powerful class finally gets a much needed nerf
    >Said class is now in a really good spot overall
    >Players immediately cry and piss their pants
    >Daybreak reverts the changes and it's back to business as usual

    I really hate this playerbase sometimes. No offense to you guys at Daybreak, I know you've gotta do what your players want.
    At least the MAX changes didn't get reverted.
  9. Mithril Community Manager

    This is something we are reviewing. We'll share an update on this when the time is right.
  10. Grandizer


    I thought it was just me noticing this. My ping to this game is 10-25ms higher than normal, server ping is higher and I'm seeing Infils uncloaked riding around on cloaked flashes, medic tool not displaying the link to rez, TR scout rifles sounding like Viper tank sounds when getting hit and downed by them, burst of packets as you get hit like a 1000rpm gun fire and worst of all, shots going through players or headshots doing practically no damage while you die to someone hitting you with all body shots. Hope it's addressed
  11. Golconda

    this is the best game ever and I love you guys for working on it <3 hope the changes are good and the game still runs on steam deck!
  12. NameBrandHipster

    This is awesome. But I think all we really wanted is a more actionable response than a wrist slap when it comes to hackers. They are running rampant right now and continuously ruin an otherwise enjoyable experience.

    The problem has gotten exponentially worse these last few years, and everyone has given up on even reporting because Day Break does nothing about it.

    I run into hackers nigh daily these days. Just experienced three at once and quit because there's no fighting them. They totally destroyed our base in an instant. Just no point in playing.
    It's frustrating that Day Break employs little more than a cease and desist tactic.

    Hello, I would like to have the answer to a certain question: where was the end of the roadmap announced? I'm still waiting for the automatic escort system for alliance outfit groups for players from the same base as the unit resource overhaul? is the last point of the roadmap abandoned? I am still extremely disappointed with your games at 11 years old, without communication or advertising and then made beforehand with big YouTubers who were not specialized in Planetside 2. I remember that the French side had Bob make a video Lenon and joueur du grennier (jdg) on this game. would be well limited the ping to 500 virais all it's a cheater meeting new player try to learn the cheater guy who you loop them the guy all leave the games I hope measures will be taken quickly on this subject finally 11 years planetside 2 very sad that I no longer see anyone connected the servers still in progress languished on cobalt the same everyone we pull on the head its key not it's crazy it's worries it's always been there for years so lots of people in my oufit this discourages artté the games seen this games rewards more invested player it's a shame :(
  15. Twigs81

    I'd love the Endeavour weapons back for purchase. Also, been having intermittent problem with the commissioner not have it top sight available since the update. Oh, are there any plans to merge Connery and Emerald? All my good stuff is on Connery, but the server is, well, dead for the most part. I end up playing on Emerald or Sol-Tech, depending on time of day.

    Hello...

    Vehicle signal limitation 2-3 minutes

    There are many incorrectly configured players who specifically press the signal button without interruption for 10-30 minutes and annoy the players of their faction.

    They deliberately annoy players, appear at important bases where a large-scale battle is taking place, install a vehicle closer to the main number of players of their faction - and start honking without interruption.

    Or they specifically switch from another faction and follow the bulk of the faction's players, annoying them with a continuous signal from their vehicle.

    Please set a limit on the use of the signal in the technique - one signal with a delay of use of 2-3 minutes.
  17. BattleWarriorZ5

    It's time to merge Connery into Emerald and Cobalt into Miller.

    1 NA Server

    1 EU Server

    This would shore up populations going forward. The servers would be alive again.
  18. MUTALISKUS

    combine the European servers into one. bring back the old beautiful graphics. let us enjoy planetside in the last years of his life

    Hello... Please fix the nine bugs of the game.


    1. Please correct the error - rounded textures. Cheating using a game bug.

    Jump from a great height to a round surface and use deception without hurting yourself when falling from a great height, avoiding damage from hitting the ground, on a round surface or texture.



    2. Please fix the error on the base where you can hack the terminal from the other side of the protective field - glass, bypassing textures and walls - move the terminal away from the glass, away from the wall.


    3. Please correct the error. Melee weapons deal damage through the protective fields of bases, goggles, protective screens on all bases.


    4. Please correct the error that caused you to fall into the "thunder" technique, overcoming textures, walls, ceilings, protective fields of the bases.


    The error is used on bases with shields, the player drives into a vehicle located behind a wall, or on the roofs of buildings - through the ceiling, through the walls - behind which the vehicle is located.


    They put the transport next to the screen field and get into the transport, which is on the other side of the protective field of the base, then enter from the transort = penetrating into the base and bypassing the protective field, the wall, and so on - this is a serious mistake, the same knife strike penetrates through the protective field of the bases. Please correct these errors.


    5. Please correct the error. It's right to use texture, but it's not fair to new players and generally in relation to the balance of the game. These textures should not make it easier to use another infantry class, including MAX, to infiltrate the base. Use a jump pack of the "Parachutist" class.


    6. Please fix the textures - walls and fences. Textures are not used by honest players and are misleading. They bounce off smooth textures. The players are deceivers.



    7. Please fix the bug with grenades for the Paratrooper. These grenades are not used against the enemy. These grenades are used for mistakes, and very fast movement on the map is not fair! If you leave it, then one such grenade should cost like a tank or a jeep.



    This is a mistake of the game, and it is easy to fix it, prohibit the use of these grenades for the account. For myself. or raise the price on them, since this gives a huge and unfair advantage to the class of the Disantnik, who can move anywhere anyway.


    These grenades are used as a mistake with lateral movement, flying sideways is not fair.


    Prohibit the use of these grenades for yourself. Register in the garnet code, the account name, prohibit using for the account = respectively for all characters of this account.




    8. Please increase the wait for the use of disantion capsules at the lighthouse. The wait for the BEACON to be reused is increased to 30-45 minutes. You can use the BEACON when entering the game only after 30-45 minutes. The lighthouse gives a huge advantage, and at the moment it is used very often. This will give a good balance between experienced players and beginners of the game.





    9. Please set the wait for the use of vehicle signals - it is very annoying for a bad player who specifically presses the signal for 10-30 minutes without a break. Please set a limit of 2-3 minutes.





    Thanks for attention.

    Happy 11th. Figured I'd reinstall and play again.
    Oddly wasn't tempted by any of the anniversary packs this year.
    That said, the 10 year one was amazing.
    Thanks for all the work and the updates.
