    If you ever get tierd of mass zerging, join an organzied outfit. By organzied i dont just mean they run squads and platoons, im talking about galaxy drops, squad objectives and command communication. I was part of the enclave on emerald (OMG enclave!??? kill him!!) and being in an organized outfit like that is what made it worth it. I tried playing solo but it just inst as fun. I quit when the enclave disbanned, came back when it joined again, and quit again when it's leader got banned (For telling Dan B that he hopes he would die in a fire stupid ****ing jew)

    Number 5...is that the highest it got?  Damn it should be #1!

    Im pretty sure when i say, people who full-out hate Planetside hasnt played enough. When you sit there on the battlefield as a meagre grunt, surrounded by explosions, gunfire and tanks. Its amazing, but it requires some hardware to handle these days. Or when during a base siege, you arrive as an AI MAX, seeing your "softie" friends camping outside, you just take a chance and walk right in causing much +backing and panick reloads. All the while you target some thumper spammers and make sure they stay down to allow the zerg inside.

    I agree the BFRs was an unecessary addition, time could very well have been spent on making the engine dx9 and more userfriendly.

    Besides, they are making the engine DX9 compatible in the 3.8 patch .. that will probably make it easier to track down and fix most of the old peformance issues.

    Still keeps coming back to Planetside when i see the grindfests in other MMO:s

    I agree. Compared to other MMOs (RPGs) PS is lightning fast. You dont need time to prepare, camp find group or do anything else, you login, you get into action right away. I used to be hardcore MMORPGer, but as I look back I see myself playing less and less of those MMORPGs and playing more and more PS. I have a total of 5 chars that are 20+ (none are 23 though) spread out through all the empires so I have a variaty of style i can play - meat-shield, grunt, driver, scout, BFR whore u name it
    What I realy wish SOE would do is advertise this damn game. After being for so long on the market its not being advertised! I myself found out about the game from a store clerk who at that time was playing it. I would of never found out about it and missed out on so much fun. 2 years passed, and PS still has this fresh feeling and I love to play this game whenever I can.

    I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

    IMO WWIIO is too slow and requires longer play sessions, which don't fit with my schedule. WWIIO also runs fairly poor and ctds regularly when playing.

    Planetside is more my thing and allows plenty enough strategy with a good outfit, which I've found! :)

    If you guys want a good MMOFPS, without a mass zerg and actual incentives, then come play WWIIOL. www.wwiionline.com
    So. Can somebody please tell me what is so great about it?

    There is 1 FPS on the TOP 7.

     

    I can tell you there are more FPS shooters fans then there are roleplayers.

     

    My personnal interest toward those FPS is indeed quite limited, but I wish them good luck.

     

    1 is on top 7, was about time.

    =====
    World War 2 Online?!???
    Get real, grampa.
    First off, the whole "historical" thing is just lame. Few people got into TSR games for a reason, they kept pumping out "historically accurate" strategy games about famous battles between armies with muskets and swords.
    The World War 2 thing has been done to death, glorifying a war between imperial hegemonies as some kind of moral crusade.
    The war wasn't fought over principles, it was fought over global domination and control of the Earth's resources. The Holocaust was a sideshow, Hitler's pet project to exterminate Jews from Europe, when the animosity between Germans, French and Brits was really about language, and who gets to control the civilized world (Europe.)
    I prefer futuristic battles with top end gear, big guns, lasers, rockets, mortars, without all the moral BS that netions shove down their citizens' throats through CNN.
    TR, NC and VS are fighting for control. The plain truth of planet earth told through a video game, how refreshing.



    The holocaust was a sideshow? Wow, the murder of millions of innocent people a sideshow? God help you.

    Planetside is on the top 5 and wanna know why? It's because thats what happens when the actual people who play the game give it it's proper rating and not when a bunch of Fanbois give everything unobjective 1's or 10's across the board for the game they are trying to boost up or shoot down. I hate when assholes from some competing game have to come over to a competing game and post their blessed ignorant views on the subject. If you dont like the game, stay off the fookin forums!

    Your a Troll. Go die.

    Planetside got temporarily worse with the release of the expansion, and then the BFRs...  but they've been put into their place.  I tried playing WWIIOL, and just could NOT get into it.  Since getting SamHayne as the new producer, patches have been solid, the player-base has been actually listened-to from time to time, and performance has increased.  

    And for reference, I've played non-stop since closed beta. 

    MMO games played or tested: EQ, DAoC, Archlord, Auto Assault, CoH, CoV, EQ2, EVE, Guild Wars, Hellgate: London, Linneage II, LOTRO, MxO, Planetside, SWG, Sword of the New World, Tabula Rasa, Vanguard, WWIIOL, WOW, Age of Conan

    word ... exactly my thoughts. I dont see this game dying anytime soon ... those of you logged onto Emerald last night, especially TR, would know :) Thx to all cr5:s making that huge ass battle possible.

    I have a fraps recording from last night showing TR gathering in sanctuary ... 5 BFRs, 10 or so prowlers, bunch of AMS and a totally black sky from all the flyers. Gave me chills of satisfaction seeing this game can still muster up forces we had on release.

    According to you, if I were to shoot you, id be still right, even though it was wrong. There are things such as common sense, dont confuse this with religion.

Its also a common sense, just as it is common sense not to go smash your skull, even though there is a good reason to do so.

    You think Hitler thought killing Jews was right and that makes it right? You think like an anarchist, who are a bane of society and should be locked out as dangerous criminals. There is no justification of killing millions of people (not only Jews) for purification of the nation or becuase they are different race or color.

    I hope you are impotent or sterile - that way your gnetic makeup dies with you, thus benefiting humanity. There are is strength in numbers and cooperation.

    Alot of what he says is unfortunatly how it is. You would have to look beyond the sheep society has made you over the years, and smarten up. Im not saying i think it is a nice view of the world, just that its the damn truth, and just cause it stings my eyes doesnt make it any less real. Most of our "ugly" traits exist in the animalworld, wich i think is evidence enough we are just evolved animals. I dont beleive in good or evil ... the definition is entierly based on what benefits you best.

    Best MMOFPS was Endless Ages in Beta and early gold, now its just horrible. Planetside i played for a few months but just got dull to quick

  • TealaTeala Member RarePosts: 7,627

    Endless Ages?  Are you smoking crack?  Endless Ages is a joke of a game.  Why do you think nobody is playing it?  It has graphics that look 2D, blocky and to be about 5years behind the times.  It's game play sucks, the GUI is poorly designed...OMG, etc, etc, etc.   Please...to say that EA is better than PS is so far out there it makes me think you have never even played PS.

    If you did and still think EA is better than you're, sorry to say this, wacked in the head.

    No maggot, there is good and evil some things are wrong and right now matter who you are. But I wont waste my time other than saying you Corp1 and psdood69 are both ignorant and stupid. Yes theres a difference between the two and you two are both. Have fun in hell image

    I dont believe im being a sheep. I have my opinions, they arent often same as most peoples' opinions. Each human being is an individual, generalizing majority of population is very wrong. So your comment about me being a sheep is actualy offending, you say I am a group animal without my own individuality - which makes up a human being.
    You have an opinion, and whether I like it or not, it is yours to keep. So, im not trying to "convert" you or enforce my opinion, bit I want to defend my own. Whether you believe in evil or not is irrelevant. There are always individuals whos actions result in torture and death of thousands or milliions. Whether its good or evil NOBODY has the right to take away human life without at least a fair trial of sort. Glorifying or even showing any kind of approval of the horrific things Nazis did during WW2 is almost as bad as the genoside itself. You dont realise it because you havent been there, you havent felt it on your own skin. You will never know what those people went through untill you actualy smell the gas as you walk into death chamber.
    Genoside is wrong weather its genoside against Jews, Gypsies, Caucasians, Christians Muslims Blacks Asians or any other race/religion.
    You are right in one thing, we are hardly above the animals. What makes human a human however is ability to go beyond that, to see beyond race, gender, sexual orientation or religion. Untill we do that we are nothing but a bunch of semi-intelligent animals. As I said before, strength is in unity, and there is no room for xenophobia there.

    No with the sheep comment i meant, just cause its bad, dont mean it doesnt exist ... something society is trying its best to have you think. I wasnt calling you a sheep, i meant people in general. I think you are confusing what we wrigt with what type of people we are ... i am not saying "this is how bad the world is, and i like it" ... but as soon as you start saying something is "good" or "bad" or "right" or "wrong" ... please, take a philosophical approach and analyze just why you have that opinion. You think all good things in society today that you enjoy has derived from entierly good actions? Its been "good" all the way, thru and thru? And that stuff about "common sense" ... yeah in small portions when a baby perhaps, but unless you tone down that kids ego fast you created hell for yourself.

    Just cause i want to analyze the issue instead of making hasty comments on wrong and right im going to hell? :P well well, since im not a traditional christian i guess im going there twice then. If you read AND understand what i want to have said, youll understand im not a nazi and i do not approve of it or the holocaust. And if i was calling you a sheep m8, its only cause you identified with the description :) Thats hardly my fault. I still think intelligence is nothing but an evolved instinct. You still have to obey certain laws and earlier experience when making decisions. I hardly think an animal is seeing its existence as "forced", that it has no contoll over its actions ... no, its under the impression they have full controll over their behaviour, just like us.

  • jimmyman99jimmyman99 Member UncommonPosts: 3,221

    I think what anarchyart was trying to say is any attitude that is not resisting to what psdood69 said is a comment in support. Its like if someone murdered someone and youd say "Well, @#it happens. What can I do". That kind of passive attitude promotes racism, maybe not directly but it still does. If u see a girl being raped in the park and you have a gun in your hands, would you just watch it happen or would u try to interfere?

    You dont understand what is being said, thats the problem :) You think you do, but you dont. Its very clear from your replies. But i can see how reading too fast and having the brain in "flame-mode" might do that.

    Its turning ugly too so im off this discussion :) Its obvious the message isnt taken in as intended.

    Back to Planetside eh? yeah good

    I don't understand why people complain about Planetside not having a point.  What point does any game have?  Entertainment.  I play because when I log off, I was entertained.  Everytime I play there is a unique battle that my outfit and I work together to do our best to win.   True there is no real point to the battles, no war to win, but who cares?

    What is the point of everquest?  Killing MOB's and looting imaginary equipment.  Getting levels that have no real meaning.  What is important is whether you are having fun, level 1 or 100.

    What is the meaning of solving quests that thousands of others have solved before you or will after you?

    It's clear that you haven't understood PS if you say that it's a boring game. try it again...change YOUR game stile and enter in a good outfit, you won't regret it ;).

  • RutabagaRutabaga Member Posts: 5
    I've been playing for almost 2 years now, and have never found this game boring. Frustrating yes, boring no. The community and my outfit has kept me going on and on, and I don't plan to quit. You act like Planetside got into the top 5 through some sort of fluke chance, but I think it just shows how dedicated the fans who do play the game are.
