My 8800 poly model would affect the amount of processing that must be done, but only once, and its not RAM that it would have any impact on (the...
Though I'm only one guy and this is simply my opinion, I'm a 3D artist and I say the art style is bad. Textures have no material definition and all...
Better question: how many polygons do you need to get across attractive, intelligently-designed weapons? Answer: Not very many. Polycount...
This just happened to me as well: three minutes from the end of an alert on Waterson where Vanu owned 6-7 of the requisite 9 Biolabs the server just...
Done. That said, I do find Planetside 2's size and scope a much-needed change from the usual 24-32 player two-teams-with-automatic-rifles...
Oh it does. Playing with friends is probably one of the most compelling reasons to join a faction, and makes your faction/server selection a...
Really even something as innocuous as a week of boosted exp or some bonus certs/SC at character creation for playing the lower-populated factions...
I'm sure you could get a number of players to switch that way, which is why it's part of every one of my proposals. Problem is, I seriously doubt...
I should also mention: losing players is an inevitability no matter what you do at this point. If you implement queues to make the game playable for...
Option A: If a faction's world population goes over 37%, players logging into it enter a queue until somebody else on their faction leaves. The...
Yes, but I'm not sure what you mean to prove by stating this. Planetside isn't a sim - it's not beholden to reality for the design of its...
Yet you can buy your own ESF. You can drive your own tank. All of the tools for evening out an encounter are there for you to make use of, just...
"It's like that in real life" has never served as a justification for a broken and unenjoyable game, though. Soldiers in real life don't fight for...
And yet everyone agrees that the best moments in it are the hard-fought battles between forces of equal size. Who would've thought? A game that...
No, it really is that simple. 4 is a bigger number than 3, right? And 60 is a bigger number than 16? One of those is a much larger difference...
Consider, then, what happens to poor old Waterson once he and any other VS/NC upset with the situation leave it behind. Players leave a server's...
They do, and I agree that playing with friends and keeping persistent gear changes the equation, but is that really worth the abysmal lows the...
It's easy to say this when you don't have to experience it yourself. Population imbalance is everyone's problem, and it hurts the game far worse...
But that's not an apt comparison. When things don't go your way... you only have it as bad as Waterson's Vanu at the best of times (and the Vanu...
So in other words, you were at a 33% manpower disadvantage distributed over three continents. I weep for you. Try having a 300% manpower...
