Gonna be in the minority on this one: I think the continent is fine. It's different, but not in a bad way. The underwater bases can be neat when you use the propulsion device to reposition rapidly during gunfights. The interlinks and tridents are a nice change of pace from the copypasted stuff on other continents we've been playing on for a decade. I especially like Excavation Cleanup Site at the center of the map right when it opens; you get every aspect of the game (including construction) in a 3-way clash around that central field. Feels like true Planetside. I haven't spent much time in Corsairs yet but I'd like to have more opportunity, not less. IMO it's one of those cases where people hate something because other people hate it. People like to fit in after all. I get that we like and still play this game religiously for what it is despite its age & flaws, but rejecting variety isn't going to help the stagnated clock in, clock out experience on the same old bases. But anyways back to the topic at hand: While the alert scheduling changes were a good compromise, I feel that it was an overcorrection. We barely ever get to play on Oshur, and it is open for so little time. This is bad for those who could use the change of pace like myself, as well as those who pursue directives that can only be completed there. By leaving it open all or most of the time, those who like it can choose to play there and those who don't aren't forced into it if it comes up in the rotation as the only continent. Maybe it could have full conquest alerts as usual but not leave it locked for long, like say, 15 minutes.
Oshur would be better without Outfit OS existing and if Infiltrators couldn't use cloak while using a Sniper Rifle or a Scout Rifle. Also the Corsair really needs an AMS mode and GSD, so it can act as an underwater spawn.
I haven't even checked but can you submerge with a sundy post update? I think I read somewhere that the with GSD removed the submerge feature is not available on sundy.
Man.... That seems like such an oversight. Can't blame the devs too much though most people forgot/hate underwater combat . Underwater combat does suck IMO and could use a major tweaks.
Oshur has stayed open this evening for some reason. I wonder if the devs listened and changed something server side? Or maybe it only triggers the 30 minute alert if there are too few players on it, so that it gets out of the way. Either way, had plenty of fun with it. Hope this happens more often than once in a blue moon
Oshur is best cont, they put in a lot of work for water/underwater and it's best thing in game. IMHO.
