Man I like what im hearing for the head Dev of PS now. He seems to be actually listening to the Community and comming up with some great Idea's himself.
Hell I might just have to reinstall this game once the buff to AV hits.
Any other former PS vets been checking up on the progress lately?
In game now
FV BFR nerfs, Nerfing the rabbit event
Comming Soon
WPN Variants, New Deployables, New Web site and PS logo, Free trial, AV buffs?
All in all things are sounding very good for the furture of this game.. Add that with the fact that there is nothing to really play right now and Damn.... PS might be making a mini comeback.

Tell me "after" they have implemented these changes...because before that means squat. SOE is infamous for dangling carrots and in PS they are experts. FV's should be totally removed from PS to begin with. Infantry needs more powerful AV and AA at their disposal. Until that time I'm not going back to PS. I really wish SOE would sell the rights to Planetside to so other publisher that will at least make PS a better game and advertise it. SOE has been promising to advertise PS more over the last year and they still haven't done it.
FV BFRs will never be removed from Planetside, but they've now been nerfed so much you rarely see them. In fact they nerfed them 2 days before I finally qualified for them, only to discover they are now nearly useless. Typical! I have to admit it's improved the game though! That's right here and now.
I was also glad to see the recent announcement that the Rabbit event will now be much less frequent. (Hopefully like never). That has also improved the game.
Bases/towers are for grunts. Outdoors is for vehicles & aircraft. That's the way it is and that's the way it should be in my opinion. Play both and enjoy the variety rather than crying about getting wasted by vehicles.
Planetside was my first MMO, I have huge memories of it but got tired of SOE's management.
When I left the game, there was the vehicles variant (Aurora...) and the capitol system (shields and stuff). Since then there have been, as far as I know, the BFR and the BR buff.
Except the usual buff/nerfs I saw from the beginning, can you tell me if the dev team released new content ? I mean new weapons, new vehicles.
When I stopped a year and a half ago, they were talking about new deployables for engeeneers (mount turret, barriers, special AV mines)...
If there is a lot of new content since I stopped, I will maybe give it a new try.

yea the new dev is the best, he by now is the only dev that thinks that BFR's should be taken out of hte game, we will see when the fodder system comes out, if too many BFRs are on the battle grounds and it disrupts gameplay he even said " we will take them out, we want the community to have fun instead of getting streased out "
I just started playing PS again recently (Markov/Vanu) and you don't see many BFR's.
Besides, I kinda like them because they're big and easy to hit and eventually they go BOOM.

Ok, saw some words mentioning changes over the last 6 months. I left about 8 months ago, seemed rather...boring. I am a night player and experienced the lack of playing during the midnight hours, kind of boring running around putting out small fires here and there. Been doing WOW but, no land holdings like PS, same thing over and over. Nevertheless, $14 may be worth it should something be happening in the worlds.

night in america is noon/evening for Euroup and the opposite way.
did u tried to play in diffrent server ?

Yes, there were some things added to the game, Liberator Variant (forgot its name), Several nerfs to BFRs, most notable one making flying BFR worthless, rabbit event, Fury (wraith variant) - is a kickass weapon vs BFRs and good weapon vs vehicles. Rocklet machine now can shoot Anti Air rounds (very nice for troops), uhm, what else... Maybe some more stuff, cant remember them all...
I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

Well the AA maxes are as dangerous as the skyguard espically the VS AA max.
BFR can only survive in large battles.On werner today me in a AV max and a team mate using jammers took out a fresh adv BFR with zero problems.
Considering the lock out time and the cert points u need to waste to get a bfr i think they are just right.I myself have the imprint and have used it before but like most others will not waste my points for it.
Anymore nerfing and they become extinct and that be a shame as they add colour to the game and are fun to blow up

I agree taking out BFR's kinda takes out the colour in the game, but in the end, I wouldn't miss them. I am fully enjoying my return to this game. Just nothing out there like it till that other title Huxly comes about , but even then the RPG/FPS is a turn off for me. I rather shoot my way threw my ranks then questing :P. PS thou is a blast again, I like the devs thoughts as well on the way it's been going and it is definilty allot more fun latly.
"The monster created isn't by the company that makes the game, it's by the fans that make it something it never was"
PS rebirth is upon us, I truly think so.
Huxely won't come out for awhile, might as well enjoy what we have now. ANd hell, Huxeley could be dog doo for all we know.

I doubt it the Game Engine (Unreal engine) alone will make this a far superior game to Warp Side. Not to mention the game will be server side hit detection instead of the crap client side hit detection that PS has.
So no more warping at the top of stairs or near objects and no more getting ran over by a vehicle that appears on your screen to be nowhere near you yet they kill you. And no more hit detection exploits that has plagued PS in the past and present.
