I may give it a go again if I don't find something else. If you are not going to fix the following things then please reply to this thread so I can go ahead and free-up some space on my hardrive 1) No more GOD MODE for pilots! Either take the aircraft hps down or make anti-air more effective. If this isn't fixed don't bother sending one of your "Please come back to the game. We don't know why so many people have quit but we need your support" E-Mails. 2) Get rid of the Aimbots. I'm tired of waiting for the cheaters on our side to show up to deal with the cheaters on the other side. If you can't fix it then just make a program and everybody will use Aimbots and that will be that. 3) NC Guns. Judging from other forum posts I don't think I really need to say a whole lot more. What? Do you think people are complaining about NC being very underwelming for their freakin' health? How about you take a look at how NC is doing on the servers instead of sitting around with your thumbs up your butt wondering where the hell you went wrong. If the first one isn't going to be fixed then take me off any type of E-mail list you have for I will not be playing again. For the other two I would be more then happy to try it again to see if you've fixed it. Hopefully before EVERYBODY leaves NC for the other sides of the war.
1. Tweaking will be done soon, need a week or two to sort out cert power. I also assume you drive a tank primarily and you're complaining about your strong counter. 2. You're just bad. BR25 - Not one hacker or suspicious person seen. 3. NC guns work fine, you just have to use them differently. Stop reading the forums, it's all sky is falling threads when it comes to NC. They are just harder to learn and use effectively than the other factions.
You said it yourself its harder to learn so the guns are unbalanced and no easy to use like TR/VS weapons. The NC weapons are a mess right now especially the LMG's. A lot of players are leaving NC because of the infantry weapons. Why fight the bad recoil when you can just point and spray with 0 recoil and be effective at all ranges.
aimbots are getting anoying, i understand if some people can hit with an higher precision then other people in very active areas due to lags and low fps. i know people from real life making very fast headshots but sometimes there ist just one person shooting 3 people on very different places in very few seconds down, i played with heavy assault and it took him just a second to kill me. if people can play that good, fine. then i have to think about what is wrong on my computer and how shall i improve my skills but i quit more and more games due to bots. this is just anoying and i dont like to play in online games against non-players. why shall anyone use in planetside 2 an bot? it is just not necessary because you can reach all areas without automated stuff and there is no advantage you get out of it to sell gold or something or anything else. you just can use every weapon after a very long while of certs-harvesting and hopefully all other players quit the game until this time because you screwed them all out with your bot. btw, what is the motivation to play if planetside 2 just becomes a normal first person shooter if you got everything with an bot? harvesting this stuff and experience the difference of become better is my motivation to play.
I don't know what you're talking about with NC LMG's. I have a blast with em, putting down suppressing fire for my team
Ever notice in these threads that there is always that one guy that doesn't have the problem everybody else has? You know like in old Japanese movies where the guy doesn't believe in Godzilla as everybody shouts and runs to the hills. He's always the first one eaten and in most cases, are the comedy relief. It's like the people who didn't evacuate during Super-Storm Sandy. The Mayors and Governors begged and pleaded for people to leave but there are always those idiots who think they know better. Those are the ones you read about in the news who lost their two kids to the storm. Uncounted, Chriss, and because of his last comment Meurtos are these types of people. If two weapons have the same results but one is harder to use then the other, over time the easier weapon will prevail when statistics are involved. It's pretty simple logic really. If you are going from point "A" to "D" the quickest route is the straightest path. Now these posters I mentioned above will argue that if your fingers are fast enough, you can get to Point "D" just as fast if you go through point "B" and then to point "C" and they have the seen it, proved it, played it, or whatever and so they know! In some cases it may even prove to be just as quick of a path for whatever reason. But the simple truth is, over time, the straightest path will prevail and some idiots want to stick to their "magical thinking" to prove some type of point about how they can hit all 3 points to get the same result as a person who just simply went directly to the final destination. Heck, they even did it faster once! Just stupid. With that said I did not mention one other thing in my post above. 4) I am sick of bullets not registering in this game. Contrary to what Meurtos has said above, I hardly ever drive tanks or fly aircraft. Hard to believe Meurtos would be wrong I know lol Anyways, when I play a Heavy-Assult or Engineer the game will be working just fine and then I'll switch to Infiltrator to go out sniping. I'll hit somebody dead-on and it just doesn't count. The bullet doesn't register. You'll hit him/her dead-on and the game acts as though you never fired a shot. It literally just does nothing. You'll watch the bullet trace effect go into the person..but it just doesn't seem to exist past that point. A good example of this happened last night when I was sniping from a hill. I realized a sniper from the enemy side was below me on the hill by maybe 20 feet. I went to the edge and you could not line-up a cleaner shot to his head. He wasn't moving and didn't know I was there so I could have taken 2 hours to line the shot up if I wished. Anyways, the perfect shot and imagine my surprise when I gave away my location to take that shot only to see that it did nothing. Even got a second one off to his head that also didn't register. Hey SOE, get a piece of paper, normal size lined-paper, and draw a circle on that paper that goes from one side of the paper to the other. Now draw a 2 inch "plus" sign in the middle of that circle, THAT WAS MY SHOT. I have a 12x scope so that was the shot I had. Twice even. So to make a short story shorter the sniper realized after the second shot that I was shooting at him, turned around and in one shot, killed me dead. Thanks SOE. FIX IT!!!
Do us a favor and don't wait for that email: free some space on your hard drive right now. PS2 at the moment has some technical issues: stability and performance, which are hopefully devs priorities. It's not perfect, but it's still a very cool game. Probably some balancement is still needed but imho there's no need to make so much drama. We also have some cheaters: just try to avoid them and report them to the customer service. Then if you still don't like the game stop crying like a 3 yo baby and go playing something else, that's all.
Oldmaster80- Think much? Don't hurt yourself. lol I often wonder what makes people, such as yourself, reply to posts like this. I mean the free bump aside, what did you add to this? "Here is what I'm going to do. I'm going to call him a 3 year old crybaby and tell him to delete the game from his hardrive and he's going to do it I just know!" Really? Is this the depth of your thinking process? LOL What are the chances, right now, that there are 3 year old babies scrolling this forum? I mean you literally, no kidding here, could have just typed, "boo-boo-goo-doo-bee-bop," throughout your entire reply and it would have made as much sense. I'm being serious here. Is it that you have too much time on your hands and refuse to think or what? Scared of books? Logic got you down?
Dear OP: Come back in a few months and decide for yourself. Ultimatums suck though, they're essentially tantrums.
Dear Freyar: I think it does have potential or I wouldn't be taking the time to even type this stuff out. A lot of potential in fact. I also like how the Devs respond to posts. On the otherhand, I haven't played it at all today and I'm fine with that. I'm not hoping for its downfall nor have I offered any "Ultimatums". I simply told the truth. I do not find the game, in its current state, to be fun when people are running around with aimbots or flying nearly unkillable gunships. I can tolerate it in normal gameplay but when it comes down to playing a game in which I can devote a lot of free time these factors simply make that devotion questionable. I don't play games just because they are tolerable. I simply asked them to send me an E-mail when it is fixed and I'd be more then happy to play their game again.
<sigh> I know I shouldn't respond. I fully expect anything I have to say to be dismissed out of hand with some comment about me being a fanboi or some such, or blind, or whatever. But I tend to be a glutton for punishment soooo..... Unkillable gunships? Weird, I shoot planes down all the time. Oh, usually not by myself. Usually there are a couple of other guys shooting at it to. Which is kind of the point of a team game; we're not really expected to do everything solo. Heck, I'm a die hard lone wolf, but I still help my side with cooperative fire and such. Balance. There is no such animal in a game like this. The ONLY way to 'balance' the game is to make every single faction and weapon exactly the same. But even then, people will complain about the difference in skill levels. So you have to incorperate some mechanism that strips away the superior skills of some players to 'balance' them out with the not so good players. There's already a game like that, it's called 'flipping quarters'. It's pretty easy. You take a coin and you flip it. Aimbots. I'm sure they exist, because I've seen the youtube videos. I've even run into suspicious activity that makes me think someone may be hacking. Well, it's going to happen. SOE will NOT tell us what they're doing to prevent it; doing so is the same as telling the hackers what they're doing so the hackers can circumvent. Further, when SOE catches hackers, they're not going to announce it. In part because they don't want people to think there's a problem...if you don't talk about it it doesn't exist type thinking. Yeah, I know. Pretty stupid. But whatever. But they also have a long standing policy against telling 3rd parties about disciplinary action taken against someone else. So they won't tell us that player "IbhackinULOLZ" was banned for using X hack. This may give you the illusion that they're doing nothing. Maybe they're not. Maybe they are. We won't know. However, I'd hazard a guess that MOST of the people who headshot you do it legally. Writing a post in a forum making a request of a company to go out of their way to send you a notification? Really? C'mon, please don't treat us like we're stupid. You wrote this post for players to read, not the Devs. Sure, they respond to posts, but usually in the techie forums. If you REALLY want devs to respond, YOU would send an email, or a written letter, to SOE direct, not write a forum post. You wanted to gain the attention of other players, quite possibly in the hope a bunch of people would say, "YEAH! He's soooo right! We should elect him emperor of PS2! Listen to him SOE!!!" (ok, I'm being hyperbolic; I do it for attempted comedic value; operative word 'attempted'. No, I won't stop doing it). Regardless, it does come across sounding like an ultimatum, "Fix this stuff THEN tell me about fixing it or I won't be back to your free game! That'll show you!". Which is a childish way of approaching matters. Me? If I don't like something I simply don't play it. Can this game be better? Yep, definitely. Will it? Dunno, I'm not psychic. Do the Devs need ultimatums to do their jobs? Well, they've been telling us what they're working on, including some of your concerns, so I guess they're doing their jobs. Will they send an email specifically to you asking you to return because they have fulfilled your demands? Highly doubtful. You'll just get the same generic email they'll spam all of us with in a couple of months. Sadly, you're not as special as you think you are; they see you the same way they see the rest of us, as numbers not individuals.
i know guys shooting similiar like this bot, but this is 100% abnormal and this ruins gameplay [video was here]* maybe those guys still agree and didn't answer or respond if experiencing the same problem and those people who experience different or no problems respont more frequently due to psychical issues(or just human logic). most times i think while reading some threads not about posting if they talk about the same problems i have but if something is from my view completely different then i feel myself pushed to post. the posters who say they didnt got that problem could also be payed from rivals to say they got no problems and use also bots... *the entire post got deleted by an moderator. the youtube-video showed an aimbot in planetside 2 definitively cheatting and aiming very fast, seeing through walls and giving everyone in an incredible time ALWAYS headshots. the crosshair was always without any differences on the right position to their heads.
