so and what about the mechs/walkers?

great job reviving a long dead thread, unfortunately it seems the devs are on the same wavelength because they plan to add something similar next year. Yipee.

yes I come the first image corresponds to the stryder which must added
put can added the mecha with I am not against it is a new vehicle vehicle I am waiting
for the most in planetside 2 .

I'm not excited about PS2 making the BFR mistake all over again.

Pretty much everything they did with this game was a mistake. Even things that used to work decently like audio, perfoormance or balance have gotten worse throughout the years. They've alienated most of the playerbase by changing the meaning of the franchise, in hopes of attacting a target audience that's just not there. And it just seems like no matter who owns the game they're just intent on going nowhere.

Just looking at the dev letter there's nothing to be excited for, and it just highlights how out of touch they are with the game. I'd be surprised if anyone on the dev team even tried to play the game. I'll actually make a seperate thread to rip into it in detail. But really do we actually need some sort of vehicle/max hybrid like this when the gameplay around the ones we currently have isn't balanced? Why can't we address relevant issues before adding irrelevant things.

Corpos want ranked matches, scripted encounters, daily missions, directives and easter eggs, anything but emergent and organic team based gameplay.

yeah I'm sure the suits pushed for fishing.

We gotta stop with cope and take some accountability here. If you've worked anywhere you know people at that level talk only in numbers. They're not interested in the specifics, that's why they hire people to do that. They just communicate that they want to see X revenue this year, and it's up to the team to figure it out. There's really nothing in the letter than even suggests these ideas orignated elsewhere than the dev team.

Granted, a lot of the stuff like fishing or the mech or even the new base mode seems like they're trying to finish stuff wrel started, but that just goes to show they haven't even taken the time to know the game they're working on. In fact I'm pretty sure if the suits were more involved in this half the stuff wouldn't be in the letter, like fishing especially after the pushback, and most of the updates that don't seem to have any relevancy to fix the current state of the game in order to attract some of the players back. Just seems like a waste of time, and apart from the merges nothing to increase the game's profitability in any way. I don't see how anyone thinks corpo had a hand in this.
