Now i dont want to make this a blog post but.. i've been bugged out to see what happen to Planetside 2 in one year of work. Have liberators been fixed? Lockon has been fixed? Do galaxys are useful now? Are certs more playerbase friendly? new vehicles or continents? Sorry, i'm just way to confused and there are thousand of news i just want a resume from a player to player of what happen, nothing mean. Please SOE let me hear.
No. Galaxies are great though. Always have been. Sure, I guess. The vehicles and continents are totally irrelevant though.
Libs are still dangerous but not so OP Lockons work Galz have almost no use in redeployside Passive certs stopped so no? Yes both are good.
Just returned after a year absence myself. Galaxies are used periodically by organized groups; to be great effect and virtually none. Abundance of Liberators is SIGNIFICANTLY lower, however they are still effective. But seeing 1-2 a day is a lot better than a black sky of infantry murder. Lockons seem okay, the best infantry based AV weapons are not lock on Based IMO.
I don't mean to be pedantic but don't you mean "It's been a year since I played last?" and "Are Galaxys[sic] useful now?" 1. How were Liberators broken when you left? 2. The answer to your second question depends on which variation of lock-on pathing you were dealing with when you left and which one you thought was acceptable. A lot of lock-ons now engage locking in different ways now and we have at least one completely new lock-on mechanic. They don't always slam into the ground nowadays, anyway. 3. Galaxys[sic] were always useful. 4. What do you mean by this? 5. I want to say "yes" but I'll say "no" so you don't get your hopes high.
Well it certainly isn't "lockonside" anymore. Overall I think its much better since a year ago. Hossin is great and Amerish has been revamped.
One year. Today is the anniversary of the infamous PU02. Here are some I can think off the top of my head: PPA nerfed Harasser balanced HEAT and HE tank cannons nerfed (new HE equivilent to old HEAT, new HEAT can only kill infantry with direct hits) Liberators are OK Galaxies are OK Walker AA gun velocity greatly buffed Lockons aren't really the focus anymore, they're OK-ish Medic tool is left click to heal, right click to revive (this is important) New infantry weapons: pistols, carbines, assault rifles Sunderer got some stuff? Continent: Hossin? New air vehicle: Valkyrie (it's pure garbage by the way) T2 Striker revamped New ESF weapons? A heluvalot of everything, so just check everything out DIRECTIVES: very complicated Edit: oh and the current thing that forumside hates is the m14 banshee and redeployside (maybe)
The most significant things you have missed are Hossin Resource consolidation (only 1 resource now, regens at 50 per min, no more acquisition timers, all acquisition timer certs refunded) Weapon sights finally fixed Valkyrie (but it's terrible) Other than that mostly just back and forth balance changes.
