Server Downtime for Patch January 9, 2014 6 AM PT (3 PM CET)

Does this mean our footsteps we hear when driving Lightnings has been fixed?

Game went from bad to worse. Just as many crashes and the worst lag ive encountered in a long time.

Great. I'm gonna miss the Crossroads/Brokenarch farms.

Return of the 'Amerish permanent spawn tube sound effect after redeploying' bug. Was fine since around OMFG1.

Noooooooooo the holiday event was great!

If you thought the NC were already bad, get ready for some over populated BS w/ Warpgate advantage
Since when did freedom fighters become tyrants?

After this Patch my Planetside just got horrible,first the terminals didn't existed just as the vehicles(friandly and enemy) to me and I couldn't interact with any thing,second the spawn rooms shields were invisible too and the game was lagging really hard.I don't know what changed in the game directory,but I didn't liked it

Yay! New update.

Still havent fixed the animations on the NS-7 PDW

Dear SOE,
Thank you for yet another patch. I would like to inform you of my inability to play this game anymore due to the excessive amounts of glitches, bugs, and other in-game issues I can't name all within this post in one go. I clearly understand that you are working very hard to fix bugs and please the community at the same time and greatly thank you for it. BUT..... I would like you to know I will not be subscribing to any of your games or will be playing them until everything is complete fixed. EVEN SO..... I may or may not return even after a year playing and over $300 invested into a game I thought I would enjoy long term. *Don't get me wrong I have greatly enjoyed the game and made it fun for me as best as I could.*

I am completely sick of the bugs, the glitches, and the patches that break every thing there can be broken, if it was broken before it became a nightmare, if it wasn't broken than I be darn if it wasn't slaughtered to shreds like a Lib Tank Buster/Shredder on a freaking ATV -.-.

I mean all the bugs and glitches on this game is complete overkill. Even with all the games on the market I have to say this one game has more bugs than all of them put together. Sorry SOE, but seems you lack the ability to fix anything without killing everything else.

Thank you for the experience while it lasted. Till next time.

This post is a little dramatic.

I've seen all of this prior to this latest patch. In my case, it was our outfit sunderer that was hanging in the air at Aurora Materials, as you say showing signs of being in a fight despite not moving on every screen other than the driver. When he deployed, the sundy deployed in mid air. Then, when he got out and we eventually joined him, we saw he was invisible and could take no damage. It took an entire restart of the game, not just a log out, to fix it for him.

I've also been on the receiving end of taking damage when nobody is around and it is frustrating. Additionally while we are on the topic, taking damage from friendlies when you aren't in line of sight (in fact, are in a different room) just plain sucks. Our outfit had a room fully decked out with engineer turrets, but whenever ANY of them fired I took damage, even when I had gone back to the spawn room, and they get the corresponding griefing sound.

This kind of thing destroys an FPS because you can't fight what you can't see.

Wow, this actually happened. Also the smaller but more frequent patches which I've been posting about. Nice ! Thanks ! Someone is actually giving a damn on the forums, go figure ?!

My next gripe would be the major log in queues (lag, some bugs and general weird stuff) after a patch has been release. As most of the times this is just before EU primetime or during EU primetime and would it be better to start up another log in server for a few hours to handle the additional load ? This issue has been prevalent since the game was launched and hasn't quite been addressed.

lol ofc...

1) Please fix the NS-PDW 7 reload animation.
2) Sometimes, the Walker on vehicles and aircraft doesn't show a crosshair.

*sigh* Still no helmet that I like for the NC. I just want one that doesn't look like it's made in haste by improvising, using kitchenware and bathroom utensils. We're mercenaries, not scrap collectors, there's a difference...there's gotta be...

The taunt "Freedom or death!" left you with questions?

Batman/Spiderman/Superman wears skin tight latex, didn't seem to bother anyone. Aside from that, dark purple looks way better than baby blue NC infiltrators wear. :/

Well, you sort of are scrap collectors. Your MAX is an Exosuit used for mining, that you welded armor plating on to and a pair of rooty tooty point'n'shooty shotguns on to.The clothes your soldiers wear (Not including the armor pieces) are regular excavation mining working clothes. The Reaver is a model of an airplane slated to be discontinued, but is used today because there's no time to develop a new one, because of the war

Your weapons are provided by your corporate overlords so you can do their bidding. Most NC weapons have their corporations name in their weaponname, such as the GD-7F, where the GD stands for Genudine Dynamics. AF-4 Cyclone, where the AF stands for Auraxis Firearms. EM1, Where EM stands for Esamir Munitions. LA1 Anchor, where the LA stands for Liberty Arsenal. The list goes on ...

While I absolutely agree with the NC helmets being really bad, in my whole year of playing, I have NEVER gotten a weapons lock. So my only conclusion is that you, and all people who do get weapons lock deserve it, because you don't care whether you're shooting your own. I see a friendly fire marker, I stop shooting. Are you one of the guys who think you have some special right to shoot your own guys because you're a high BR? Do you think your suppression fire is more worth than the 3+ people you killed? Are you one of those guys with HE rounds on a hill shooting at bases for easy farming, not caring what you kill and blaming your own faction for actually capturing the base?

Anyone who has ever gotten a weapons lock deserved it, because it's not as easy to get as some people like to make it look like.

Being confronted with the truth like that, it hurts. I just want a cool helmet, something that looks like a Gundam head.



There! They have the edges Tray keeps insisting on for NC helmets.
