Absolutely the worst communication with fans!

    Do the developers even care? I can take bugs, hacks, or whatever if I think something is being done about it.

    Chat not showing kill/death feed:

    -Can anybody find any post saying they even know about this problem? Not to mention they are trying to fix it?

    Weapons shooting blanks:

    -Anything? I just spent 10 minutes with three different weapons that all the suddenly started firing blanks. Couldn't shoot enemies, allies, heck I couldn't shoot myself. Any word that developers even know this problem exists? I mean I see hundreds of people posting about it, but absolutely no info.

    -I think this problem compounds itself because some of those weapons that are not working (shooting blanks) are weapons that were purchased with real money.

    Heck a simple, "we know about this problem and we're working hard on it," would be a billion times better then what we get.......silence.....

    There is a reason why Sony Corp. has lost money for the last 4 years straight.

    You have to pay attention to twatter and ******-it to find out what the devs are up to. The community here on the forums are just not worthy.

    SOE listens, why do you think we have a road map, or the nerfing air got.


    SOE is a separate entity to Sony, SOE also had a profit much larger than expected.

    Developers care so much.

    Don't expect a post to say so but you are their life-force; how can patch notes ever help this restriction.

    Remember a bug is an unfinished feature!

    Keep up the great work reporting stuff <3
  6. Nature

    Air got the nerfing it got because bad players refused to play AA. Now they are buffing it again. And most of the stuff in roadmap is things that shouldve been in the launch. So either we have the roadmap because of their incompetense, or because they wanted to rush ouf the game to make quick money instead of an actually finishing the game.

    I haven't seen them saying anything about weapons firing blanks since the tank issues with this. But I understand your frustration, but all I have to say to you is this. I've seen a sharp rise in the amount of devs commenting on bug threads compared to release. I can assure you that they see our posts, if they haven't replied concerning a bug then they may already know about it and are working on it.

    Compared to release, they're talking to us an awful lot more. It helps if you try not to get too worked up about it. They can only deal with so much at once. If you really want these problems fixed then try telling them how to reproduce the bug in a detailed order of events. This helps them find the cause of the bug and helps us to be able to enjoy a less buggy game sooner. :)

    Silence doesn't mean they aren't doing anything. Why do so many people not get that?

    I have NEVER played a game where the developers had as much interaction with the community as planetside 2. As far as bugs, hackers and such, well Rome wasn´t built in a day. And you can´t possibly think that they will eknowledge every single bug that they are awere of... If you experiense a bug then report it ingame. Have a bit of patience man!

    There's actually now a forum specifically just for bug reports, devs probably wont see what you say in-game regarding bugs :)
  11. Sipher

    Yes there is that as well. I ment the ingame bug report function. It´s under support in the lower left hand of the map, loadout, ec.. screen. But thank you for pointing out the forum function!
  12. Hatamoto

    Hang around yo for cool dawgs Smuttley and Huggby as they rant cool lines about exercising the banhammering on foolz heads while talking about todays weather and helmet design. Twatter be da place for komuniketion!

    Annoys the **** out of me
  13. Hatamoto

    why dont the developers get that this is what people in general think ?
  14. Phyr

    There isn't much they can do to change that view. People will think what they want to think.

    I'd be using AA on my HA if the cert requirement wasn't so damn insane. It's practically forcing you to spend $8 on one launcher because the default launcher is so damn horribly slow.
  16. JohnnyMaverik

    They actually have decent communication... if you use twitter and are following them (by them I don't meant PS2 official twitter, I mean the dev team leaders like Higby). So, follow them all on twitter or remain uninformed (I don't follow them and I'm constantly getting people going, HIGBY ADDRESSED THIS *link to twitter feed*). All in all twitter is a terrible way to stay in contact with fans, especially off the official twitter feed, since I don't much want to have to sift through Higbys breakfast shout-outs and daily life tweets to find relevant info.
  17. Nature

    The default launcher isnt a launcher its a grenade lobber, and not meant for air anyway. In the end 1000 certs isnt that much anyway. And dont underestimate how much damage rifles of all sorts do to low flying ESFs. Killed many stupid pilots with my shotgun when they get too close.

    They regularly post on twatter & gayddit. The reddit PS2 guild [Test] (Matherson) regularly sucks the ***** of the dev team on that site. they probably feel superior to the "lower classes" that don't have that unique mouth to **** relationship.

    It is unknown why they post on a ps subreddit rather than on the official forums. Its probably so they can say everything a developer posts on reddit is not official and is their personal opinion. also probably because more people will see it.

    It's sad because seeing the general way people talk there sickens me deeply and screams of puerile trash.
    In order to get any questions answered, one must suck the ***** of the developers enough to form that mouth to **** relationship. It would be nice if they did a weekly Q&A on certain issues so many repeated questions & concerns could finally be laid to rest.

    But alas it is SOE. They claim to be a big game developer but to be honest they are pretty average. In some areas they shine as a great developer, but in other areas perform what you'd expect from amateurs (improper testing of new content, patches, etc).

    I used to be enthusiastic coming up with big suggestion threads, but in the end no one really cared. It's just wasted thought. The only way you'd ever get your suggestion or idea even looked at is if again you stroked the ego and position of the devs on reddit. I will not do that because I view operating in such manner as being a piece of slimy reptillian trash.
  19. Hatamoto

    They can start to reply is what i meant, to ease the masses and keep the customers happy ... pretty basic i should think

    EVE Online should be the ******* model for dev interaction with players. SOE has been soo far short its amazing. The roadmap is nice, but simple communication or trolling their own forusm would be nicer.


    The problem is, its a skelleton crew. The 'zerg' of dev's has moved on to whatever soon to be released game needs rushing and the remainder is here to limp along, trying to keep people buying SC.

    For example, it takes 8 months to make a new vehcile (the jeep)?
