May 15, 2024 - PC Update

T7 Chaingun got new sounds, much worse sound that wasn't listen in the patch notes.
Sound is really bad, please, consider reverting it.

fix sunderer, I want to play normally.

Please remove or fix the pointdefense of the sundys. The damage is ridiculous and makes them completely overpowered.

Please pass on my congratulations to the Dev team for once again rolling out a broken update.

I do feel compelled to post here and highlight my frustration at this. I will no longer be subscribing to Daybreak Games. I am willing to support a game financially when I see value for money, or a genuine return for my investment, be that in perks or simply enjoyability, however in this latest development blunder, and consequently allowing the community to continue exploit the sunderer issue completely break the game. If you go to any moderately populated flashpoint you will be greeted by instant death from multiple exploiting sunderers.

The Dev team need to simply roll back the botched update, and release the new content WHEN IT IS READY. Instead we have to wait until next week? You must realise the already depleted player base is going to be decimated as you allow players to use this broken content?

Sorry guys, but it is unacceptable. Revert the update or disable the slots somehow until you have time to revert the rest of the sundy update.

It's UNPLAYABLE right now.

Surprised the update wasnt rolled back within the first few hours. The fact that its gonna be here for a week is shocking. Currently can't do armor, can't do air, can't even risk attacking a deployed sundi. Side Note: It is very funny for about the first 30 minutes though.

revert the chaingun sound please! its horrible and boring now. one of the reasons i loved it is because of the funny cool sound. its sounds like an old moan engine now

In addition to the sunderers issue, I think the chat/friend system rework broke something else. We cannot add players into the ignore list anymore (which was a really appreciated feature considering the huge amount of salty and toxic players we encounter).

The fun is only while engaging with the new Sunderer features.

Outside of the Sunderer, the game is completely broken, and for the majority of players who don't focus on the Sunderer, it is nothing but a detriment.

I feel that Reactive Armor and Point Defense are issues that urgently need to be addressed.

I've heard rumors that leaving the discretion to users has sparked a debate: "Therefore, reckless use should be avoided," versus "Since it's implemented, we should use it freely and enjoy it while we can."

Aren't the in-game reports from players already indicating the urgency of the situation?

Sigh. How about shotguns that got nerfed before Wrel left, and he admitted that they were likely overly nerfed and would need to eb tweaked (but then he left)? The sunderer rework honestly feels like it wasn't tested at all.

Potentially controversial opinion here but I actually prefer the new chaingun sound, it's more appropriate to the rate of fire and sounds meatier, in my opinion. I like it. The point defense sundies are admittedly hilarious, but also yes, completely broken.

It seems to have outlived its usefulness in PlanetSide 2. I would love to see PlanetSide 3 released. However, it seems that DBG has not made any effort for this and will not release any REMASTERED versions for improvements (graphics, sound, etc.) for PlanetSide 2.

I've been playing this game since the first day it was released, and it's a very, very sad situation that such a good game has come to this state.

Just as the game engine cannot be improved, the game only has "new cosmetics, events" etc. You would have to be blind not to see the attempts to keep it afloat with updates.

Developing and launching a new game may be costly and time-consuming. However, it is really ridiculous and funny that this game's optimization problems continue even on today's best computers.

I'm sure some players will think the following.

- A new game means a lot of mistakes.
- I spent too much money on the game. I purchased a lot of cosmetic items for the game. I don't want to repeat this with the new game.

etc. I have come across many messages before. However, I think these friends have user agreements etc. I assume you didn't read the pages. As with every game, it is useful to read these user agreements.

Just because you spend money on any game, you are not guaranteed to play that game for life. When developer earnings drop and server costs become unaffordable. They retain the right to terminate the project and shut down the servers.

Developing an existing game is of course easier, but only if you can manage to update the game engine. Otherwise, it is much easier to create such games from scratch with new game engines.

The day when you will experience such a situation is near. Because planetside 2 suffered a serious loss of players even on American servers.

Of course, there will be many bugs and things that need improvement in new games. Isn't this the case in every game? Instead of making this a problem, it is necessary to participate in testing processes to contribute to its development and speed up the process.

I was very excited for PlanetSide 2 after the PlanetSide servers were shut down. I hope we have the opportunity to experience this excitement again. Even if it wasn't PlanetSide 3, I would love to see PlanetSide 2 REMASTERED released

With the updates coming to the game, the game is now losing more blood. What made this game PLANETSIDE was its unique system, which they destroyed.

The game continues to lose blood with every update.

First they weakened the aircraft because they disturbed the infantry, and then they weakened the ground vehicles. If this wasn't enough, they added anti-vehicle weapons to the infantry and made sure that people who liked driving and only loved this aspect of the game would leave the game. Although this was actually unintentional, it caused a lot of damage to Planetside 2.

Later, as these updates were not enough, weapons were added for the infantry to repel the vehicles, and they completely ended the war with the air and ground vehicles of the game.

Yes, the purpose here was to protect infantry battles, but more than half of the people playing this game were playing for vehicles. Instead of destroying these wars, they chose the easiest option, instead of supporting infantry wars with covered facilities, underground shelters, and underground tunnels to reach the facilities, where infantry could fight more easily.

Farming infantrymen in vehicles 24/7 is not good, as someone who frequently participates in infantry battles, I am against this, but breaking the mechanics of the game and destroying the other crowd while trying to protect these battles was not an ethical move at all.

The update for Sunderer is a complete disappointment, I think there will be many more player losses. Because this update was a very, very damaging update not only for vehicles but also for infantry battles. It is almost impossible to destroy a deployed Sunderer, especially when I saw them coming together and grouping, I immediately closed the game

Not only the damage it caused, but also the combination of hundreds or even thousands of gunshots per second around me made me very uncomfortable. An update that is extremely negative and will cause loss of players.

It is very important for developers to be open to such criticisms and take them into consideration. These criticisms are certainly not to disparage DBG company and DBG employees. On the contrary, it is because we want the game to be in the place it deserves and to be updated and fully optimized for the computers on which we easily play today's games.

By restoring all the mechanics of the game that were broken due to personal preferences and nonsense. Preserve infantry battles with closed facility updates with the REMASTERED edition. This will be much more logical and straightforward than any update made a step towards.

I hope that the game will return to its old days and endless wars with PlanetSide 3 or PS2 REMASTERED. Until then, I uninstall the game from my computer. Hope to see you soon. Have fun and good luck everyone.

I logged on this evening and no matter what.. I was killed by these players using the glitch to camp spawns and I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend playing, but after tonight. It won't be happening!! I think there should be some punishment handed down for all the players who used the exploit to gain an advantage. I'm sure nothing will happen as you sold off the game to another company, but I hope the other company does a better job than you did. Will be playing Planetside One this weekend instead.

It's more fun if you think of it as just a slightly late April-Fools event. We all in crazy-town for a bit, it's ok, have some fun.

Coming from a Developer background myself, I appreciate how multiple projects and time can run away from you. How your list of to-do's piles up, getting larger and larger every day. How the code-base of this game is old and all the original devs have moved on, leaving a tangled mess behind that is likely impossible to unpick or understand without breaking a hundred other things you have no way of conceivably knowing, because you're not omniscient. It's an old game and you're doing the best you can with limited fingers on keyboards and time. Income from the game, after server fees and other costs might not be enough to support a 1/4 of a developer and their trained nut-fetching squirrel so honestly, I get it and I really am proud that at least someone, somewhere, is keeping this wonderful game on life-support. I don't understand why though, you wouldn't roll-back the update within a few hours. I can only assume there is scheduling issues, perhaps costs involved in doing so across the servers and there simply isn't time or money to do so. Which is terrible. And sad. We love this game. Understand that. We truly do. So if there is anything we, as a community, can do to help, let us know. Don't just say, sorry we broke the game, you need to wait a week. We're a passionate emotional dedicated user base. Talk to us and we will support you.
