GU011: Weapon and Vehicle Changes

Increase the resource cost, but not this much. Stop doing stuff and bending over backwards for MLG, if they dont like it they can go elsewhere.

they arent doing this for mlg..they are doing it to get more people to sub and buy boosts.

want to buy a tank every 10 minutes? you best have auraxium level membership benefits AND a heroic or hyper level boost.

going to miss my tank :<

Comments/suggestions in red.

The changes aren't live yet... So the number of vehicles around today means nothing.

When a platoon decides to move or an alert I'm interested in participating in.

WOW populations were already getting lower and lower each day.

This will pretty much stick a fork in it.

Good job SOE only took you 9 months this time to kill Planetside.


Server merges INCOMING!

You already have it so that half the bases can only spawn flashes, sunderer's and harassers. I get that you want the steam rolling effect of 50 MBT's charing a point to go away. However limiting the resources wont do that. It will simply stop people from pulling armor UNLESS they have a convoy. There are a ton of ways to kill vehicles now. Having to wait 10 minutes to respawn your MBT fine, but 10 minutes to respawn ANY vehicles means the battles will be shorter, people will be forced to walk more, and the game will be mostly infantry based. You guy's don't have modern warfares engine, nor is it setup for that. Half the fun of the game is combined arms. Your intentionally removing that. Whats worse is that contenants will be completely abandoned simply because you can't afford to fight back.

If you get warp gated, how are you going to take back the land? you are gaining 30 resources every 5 minutes. Your enemy is gaining 250.

You have 2 huge problems. One is that a single vehicle is easily destroyed and focus fired, the other is that a mass group of vehicles dominates all. Your completely loading the winning side and preventing the losing side any chance of holding on. it will be a snow ball effect.

It's your game, do what you want, but I've been playing since Beta and I have come to accept that you guys like to swing from one extreme end of the spectrum to the other to find the "balance" in between; having said that please push the re-cert item closer than October. I have changed my playstyle almost monthly to accommodate the buffs and nerfs over the past 6 months, and I fully expect to have to change my playstyle when GU 11 comes. I do applaud you for atleast trying to listen to your player base, however this game is in flux almost ever 2 weeks, but my certifications are unchangeable. The recert item will enable me to play the way I want to, rather than whatever flavor of the month you guys decide to nerf into the ground or buff into godhood. (I'm pretty sure you'll charge me an arm and a leg for it, but here's hoping you dont )

Looks like I wont be playing anymore.

Could not have wrote this better myself. This is what most of us feel like SOE.

How is it that some of the most important features of Planetside are still not in game yet.

I'm totally fine with this new Updates. Seems like the most of the community forgot that SoE got professional game designers. This forum sure needs an Age restriction, if you go through this forum and read the posts, you want to cry and puke at once. "mimimi i'm not op anymore" "mimimi nerf this and that" , my respect to the 1% of players that give constructive criticism. You can't read this forum seriously because of the high ammount of cry comments. Whatever SoE does, the community will always have something to cry about, why waiting until the update is live? Rage it to death immediatly! why? because i can, thats why!

VS zoe nerf - thank you SOE for making us even more weaker then we already are .
better remove the ability and give us something else noobs

Your comments are offensive and incorrect.

First off, the median age for MMO players is something like 35. Keep that in mind when you try to treat other people like children.

An age restriction would not solve any of the problems you claim to see because everybody whines. Old people, young people, everyone sees things in the game they want changed. It's when you don't agree with the changes that they want that it becomes whining to you. Hell, here you are, whining about whining. You think that just because someone is younger than you that they whine more?

You didn't actually offer any discussion points on the topic at hand, you just came in, delivered your high-and-mighty "Stop whining, everyone, because SOE has never, ever made a mistake." remark. Anytime something that currently exists gets a rebalance, that's a mistake that was made in the original design. Nobody's perfect, the game designers rely on player feedback to get peoples' opinions on stuff like this.

You claim to be in the 1% of players that delivers constructive feedback, yet you came into this thread with no purpose other than to say "You're wrong, you're wrong, and all the rest of you are wrong." to people who posted on-topic discussion points. Who's not being constructive now?

Hint: It's not these so-called "whiners".

i support all changes except zoe 10%, that's beyond brutal. 5% would be more in line.

oh yeah, and making the lasher beyond useless now. That was lame.

Now capping a continent will actually matter for non members. All around good for metagame buff. Thanks SOE!

Waw... Dual nerf for pump-action shotgun... This is incredibly stupid.

- We can't hit something at 5m when it moves due to the lag
- A single error in CQC = dead
- We need 200 shots to kill someone at 10m
- And now, we will not be able kill something at all with GU11... Good job SOE.

Why ? Seriously, why ?

If only there was a way to increase your resource gain to alleviate these changes...

Jesus Christ, half of you whine about "not enough teamwork" on this forum daily but you all want to spawn solo vehicles whenever you want. How about hop in a sunderer or be a gunner for a tank or something. Maybe use the rumble seat on the atv.

This will just make people want to hop into sunderers more often if anything. Direct sundy buff

with your total of 1 message on this community forums and Member on the forums since today lol I doubt anyones can take you seriously ?

How much of those fake accont did you do to promote your point of view please answer

Reducing shotgun damage will not reduce the slop, it will only increase it as they have to spam more to confirm a kill.

If you want to reduce the slop, tighten the spread and CoF. If it's tightened enough it actually becomes viable short-mid ranges while still being worse than automatics and more skill (aiming) based.
