Planetside 2 V4 - The roadmap to Basic Features and a Playable Framerate
1,000 replies, posted
Seeing how things have gone so far, chances are they'll try and fix it and then just wind up breaking it more.
[QUOTE=Schmaaa;39938929]Is this game every going to get fixed? I want to play it, but I can't because of the atrocious optimization, and even if I could, there's just so much shit that's wrong with it, bugs, glitches, exploits, etc.[/QUOTE]
GU4 did break performance for a lot of people, it's just so sensitive to player counts it hurts. Where you could get 50fps before on an area with 100 people you'll get 25fps now, and it can go down to a single digit when outfits regroup at the warpgates in massive numbers.
So I just tried out the lasher on tiral.
I know what i'm saving for now, Jesus dicks those explosive orbs are as large as grenade explosions.
[QUOTE=Samiam22;39939155]Possibly.
I love how the game almost outright refuses to run on 32-bit rigs.[/QUOTE]
is that because of the RAM limitation or the CPU limitation?

cause i'm on i'm on a 2.4ghz dual core 64 bit, but with only 3gb of ddr2
The fury on the flash may just be one of my most favourite things ever
Wow, I really hope Tramell clears up what he means about the Player Studio.
So far he said that player submitted animations/weapons are 'not on the list', which probably also applies to custom aesthetics and vehicle designs as well.
Maybe player submitted armor would be in, but if the only thing people could do is make their own shitty armor camo and decals, then [I]fuck that[/I] I say.
Does anyone know where to find all the music that plays when idling? Vanu's idle songs are really calming.

TBH I have zero interest in player studio and would rather about 100 more things be put in instead of that
the whole work shop thing for Tf2 really makes me not care for or like the game at all, and its one of the reasons I've not bothered to reinstall the game and play a couple of rounds of it again
I'd much rather a game have a consistent and controlled art style to it than something thats completely player driven when that game is something like PS2 or any other shooter
How much can I do with one stick of C4?

You know the items passed through player studio are reviewed by the devs before they are 'ok'ed, right? In comparison to the TF2 hat bonanza, it isn't entirely player driven in that the players don't get to vote for stuff being submitted. It's all on the art/gameplay people looking over it.
Although I'm not too familiar about the TF2 submission process tbh.
I mean I'm personally in favor of a program like this that would allow me the chance to design and participate in implementing something that I know the devs wouldn't have a chance to create. That said, I agree that the style of PS2 must remain constant, and not delve into stupidity like the Jason helmets, or spiral out of control like the TF2 hatbacle.

You can either drop it on a tank and force the driver out, and kill him, disabling the vehicle for a little while and setting it up for other people, or you can fly overhead and drop it on top of clusters of players for fantastic results. It also works well for killing MAXs.
OR, you could put it in a doorway and then set up shop somewhere and detonate it when people try to use the door.
And let's not forget sticking it to the front of a flash and drive it into tanks.

He probably meant you can't make custom animations for the already-existing animations and you also don't get to design the weapons, only models for new ones. I don't know if he was ambiguous on that though, do you have a source?

Yeah, his twitter, I'll post the tweet. To be clear, I did mean only the models for new weapons, not the actual balancing/ect.
Also, here is his most recent tweet on the matter:

i spawned in a tower, fell all the way to the floor and died.
working as intended??
Yesterday I saw some TR guy land his mosquito and hop out in an attempt to ghost cap the base I was in. He was completely unexpecting any resistance so I just ran over and popped him. I decided to go blow up his ride for delicious certs but when I got there and took aim I just had enough time to watch it spaz the fuck out and slowly sink through the ground, never to be seen again.
Working as intended.

An NC MAX got stuck in the wall at an amp station on esamir right by the capture point.
He could still fire out, but gave up aftre 4-5 mins of us just ressing ourselves.
Also, thanks to this free weekend I've gotten damn near 500 certs from revivng and healing allies., just 300 more and I'll have myself a lasher.
I came on today to hope to get a ton of certs from reviving my buddies and SMGing rebel and alien scum, only to find the NC having completely overrun everything by using shotguns with slug ammo from 100m away.
Just witnessed the staggering ineptitude of DVS and another NC faction on Amerish trying to take Raven Rock. They tried to drop in like 3 times from gals as a MAX crash, and got gunned down every time.
Then they tried attacking from virtually every angle, and eventually they overran everything by probably pulling their entire outfit to take it. On Waterson, that is.

Helmets, Decals and Camo first, then eventually Armour.

Everything needs to be okayed by T-Ray and the art team first, and if you've seen some of the stuff people have been sending him and his feedback, he is [i]very[/i] particular about the art style.

Yep, he often has people do a few revisions.
C4 is class specific, and costs 100 res. a pop. :suicide:
I hadn't played since the server merges, and I gotta say the Matherson Reavers are terrifying now that the NC is the biggest aggressor. Plus my squad ran into the Black Arrows and was slaughtered. I never thought I'd prefer fighting VS.
Badger and I shootin 'nd scootin.

The amount of times I've seen Infiltrators just run into the midst of a large cluster of enemies and just throw all his mines down is sickening.
They will either get two or three kills before dying so it was worth it, or blow up everyone who was trying to kill him, Unless you have eagle eyes and manage to spot the wanker coming in from behind whilst camouflaged. You have NO chance
5 minutes before server disconnect TR spawned like 50 Galaxies and flew to the Crown, it was so awesome.

Makes it even more delicious when I'm in a tank (which is almost never) and completely annhiliate a LA who tried to kill me with them right after he places two bricks on my tank.

Flak armor completely counters mines

This is why I love having two C4s with level 5 jump jets. In tech labs I can get myself up high, wait a short time for a target, float down quickly, and blow shit up.
Been using my C4 a bit too much, really ruins my game when I redeploy and I suddenly realize I don't have any nades or C4 on me.

And you can't say the same about a LA flying overhead with C4 or someone running up to deployed sunderer, throwing down a tank mine and blowing it to hell before anyone knows what's going on?
