So.. i log into planetside 2 with my NSO... i look at the map and i see a fight going on but i cant spawn there or anywhere close with an air vehicle so can fly there and drop out... . So, i see another "battle" start ant another base... this time it has a spawn! i spawn there.. nope... timer glitch... so respawn to warpgate so can get a dervish and fly to the fight that i wanted to go in the first place... of course with no upgrading the speed of the dervish.. i finally get tot he base and the fight is already over... i thought the new spawn system was to break up zergs.. not create them... if i was in a zeg, i would have had a spawn beacon to get to the base for sure... why is it that planetside 2 instead of being more fun and easier to play... they are making it harder for us.. brining back an old spawn system that sucked. ive been playing planetside 2 for about 9 years now.. the best spawn system the game had was a few months ago.... now for no reason they screwed it up again... i really hope this changes... i like playing in squads but also solo... now its almost impossible to play solo without waisting so much time to find a good fight and getting there... especially with NSOs... smh
Posted this before. But after I started playing a stalker, something I adapted was staying at a base that we just took to guard point until the next base in line started to change over. Then I would redeploy to that base. More and MORE lately I'm seeing where there's 1 ~ 4 sundies around the base but they are not green, they're blue and you aren't able to spawn at them. WHY??!! It's the next base! TOTAL CRAP and it better change soon.
The fights ARE harder to get to now. But they are better. Longer, more sustained. With exceptions (as always) the pop balance is better, particularly on the stagnant ones. They even spill over to the space between bases. There are still perf hits from the new spawn system and those need fixed. But I'm glad Dev is taking risks to do this. The previous "spawn everywhere" system was truly killing the game. Fights were easy to get to but sucked.
