THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS, of planetside2

1) And you will be with me when you think about it. You open your map to choose where to deploy so you go and see yellow bombarding signals over a particular base... So you click and deploy there thinking you will have a fight!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO its 3 guys inside the barracks and a whole army of 100 noobs outside surrounding it.

WHY THE YELLOW BOMBARDING SIGNALS THERE IS NO FIGHT!!! WE SHOULD HAVE THIS YELLOW BOMBARDING SIGNALS TO TELL US WHEN THERE ARE similar to EQUAL NUMBERS OF CONTESTANTS IN THE SAME AREA!!! So when we DEPLOY THERE IS A FIGHT!!!!! DAMN IT!!!

2) MANY TIMES IN THE LOCATIONS WHERE YOUR SIDE IS SEVERALLY OUTNUMBER AND OUTGUNNED YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DEPLOY IN, unless you redeploy getting closer in every step until you get there.

3) WHY NOT ALL THE CLASSES CAN USE ALL THE WEAPONS(except for the heavy machine-guns of the heavy class.

4) Why as an infiltrator stalker when you get to see your character with his gun knowing that stalkers cant use the main weapon just sidearms... WE CAN ONLY SEE THE CHARACTER HOLDING THE MAIN WEAPON, as an infiltrator stalker you WANT TO KNOW HOW BIG YOUR CHARACTER WOULD LOOK IN EVERY SITUATION BUT YOU CANT ******* SEE NOT EVEN THE GUY STANDING WITH THE GUN HE USES JUST LIKE HE LOOKS WHEN ONE OF THEM KILLED YOU. So you cant calculate... nothing to hide better unless you have 2 computers and 2 accounts...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most annoying thing is players complaining about frivolous balance issues instead of just logging in, playing, and adapting and overcoming the challenges. The game would be much more enjoyable if players overcame their issues on their own, instead of asking devs to fix them.

Surprisingly the OP of this thread doesn't have any really what I would call balance issues. Though I will say the deploying to a over half area is one of design. They don't wish for a base to be attacked by say.. 12 and then the defenders flood it with 2 platoons. And the weapons to all classes thing. I actually disagree. I'd like to see more weapon restrictions across classes to give them a more unique feel.

But back to what I was saying before, we'll see some balance issues from players who wish for the devs to fix their problems for them. Its inevitable.

Infiltrators with shotguns and C4. Light Assaults with sniper rifles. Heavy Assaults with EMP grenades.

Have I defined "unbalanced" for you well enough yet?

but i want carbines for infils and AR for engys.

Last time I tried PS1, I was running heavy armor (Heavy Assault) with a Gauss Rifle (AR) and Bolt Driver (BASR). Didn't seem too bad. But it was rather boring.

Yeah theres alot of things you cant give us infiltrators if you wish to have any fun in this game.

1. You can see the numbers to some degree if you zoom in on your preferred location. You can certainly see if your allies are bottled up in a spawn room or running about the base. I always check first.
2. Never has this problem although there can be a wait for deploying to an underpopped base on another continent if it is full
3. How many people would use a different weapon if they could all get their hands on an assault rifle? Or an LA with a sniper rifle? is that as silly as an infiltrator with an AR? Where is class specialisation in this idea?
4. Um, I think your character is the same size whatever weapon he is carrying.

Nah, I can think of much more annoying things like:

1. being knee deep in grenades and C4 when defending a tower. I swear they outnumber the bullets that are flying.
2. using C4 as a super powerful grenade dropped by a passing fairy.
3. finding four of my six characters on the same server because of server merges.
4. being disconnected in the middle of the only decent fight I've found and not being able to get back to it after reconnecting (and losing my XP and kills record into the bargain)
5. When nearly all my characters default-spawn on Hossin (I hate Hossin)

The handling of vehicles. Most egregiously the Sunderer and the Flash. It can't be an accident that they are that bad, never driven a vehicle in game with such terrible mechanics.

When i try shooting a rocket through a door and the usually regular size doorway shrinks so the rocket cant pass through it.

Click to spawn in a sundy in the territory you are already in. Spawn in a random base of another continent.

For me, the most annoying thing about the game is how hard it is to come by a good fight.

I guess for some people it's Lancer :
