What do you think is the worst thing about the game?

[Joe-Azlin]

Title says it all..., but yea I think the worst thing is the continent locking. I mean when battles just start getting good they lock the place.

[1024]

The devs nott listening to the community as much as they should.

[ajohn505]

The lag. Graphical, mostly. They need to figure out a way to render only what's onscreen so I don't chop when there's 100 people onscreen.

Sigh, maybe in another 10 years.

[pauljar1]

The fact that I can't have every cert all the time. :D

No, really. The worst part for me is the lack of platoons. I think this would add SO MUCH more organization to the game with concerted strikes coming from two different directions on a base or an air attack to clear a base on the top and 2-3 galaxy's dropping 30 troops in on a base to clean out the inside. Now, THAT sounds like a strategic war game!

That sounds really sweet. I think that would be pretty cool too.

[pauljar1]

That would DEFINITELY be sweet!

Does anyone know the details of the platoons yet? How many squads to make up one platoon? Also, are there going to be any formations higher than platoons? Something like a "Regiment" - the combination of 3 platoons?

Just a question and a thought...

[gunner_uk2000]

i would like to see more big battles, on monday, there was a massive 100 player battle at Acan on Hossin on moday morning.

there hasn't been any major battles since then.

also you often have to wait ages for the HART to drop you off, it should be 3 mintes MAX, on 8 or 9 like it is at the moment.

[pauljar1]

I agree that the HART takes too long, especially when you have squadmembers in a huge battle that you're itchin' to get into.

THe only reason that I don't think they will make the HART timer as low as 3 or 4 minutes is because is because it may make the Sanc Warp Gates obsolete. Why take the warpgate and run half a continent when I can just wait 3 minutes for the HART. Ya know?

Just my opinion.:)

[Joe-Azlin]

I still think they should make HART 3 or 4 minutes because people that have aircrafts and vehicles will still use the warpgate because that will still be faster for them. HART drops you off wherever you want, but it takes so long that sometimes by the time I get there the battle has ended and they are moving to a new base or worse a new continent.

I have to agree with 1024. There were several things that were promised to be added to the game (platoons) and they keep adding features that are unrelated to what was asked for or what was promised. They did however add the two new vehicles. I will give them that.

Oh, and the adding of new bugs when the patch to "fix" other bugs is annoying. This game has a lot of potential. I hope SoE devs can step up to the plate. They are doing okay, but not great in my book....lots of room for improvement if you ask me.

Don't get me wrong; I love playing this game. It rocks when you can have 20 to 30 people coordinate an attack. That's when things livin' up and battle #'s get even higher (around 100 or so).

As for lag, I don't get lag that much in this game as compared to other games. I think they did a good job in keeping lag down...at least from my perspective. Others may disagree from what I hear.....

All in all, I like this game and will be playing this game for a long time or at least until WoW comes out :p

[Ghost06]

The thing I hate most about this game are the nazis who post threads like this because they can't figure out why they suck at it. Even the computer-challenged can figure that most of the problems with their lag and low fps is either a) their gforce 2 MX, b) 256 MB of RAM, or c) the 30 operations running compared to the "operational" 23. If you have half a brain, you optimize your performance by getting rid of un-needed eye candy.

Maybe you didnt understand the question. I sayed what do you think is the worst thing about the GAME.... not your computer. Meaning lack of platoons, more vehicles, or more weapons. Stuff like that, not stuff like hey my comp lags when I play. Its kind of obvious why it does that.... because your comp blows. Like my comp is terrible, so I dont even try to play it on here and I have to go to a friends house to play, but this is all off topic. The main point of the question was what do you think is the main problem with the game and not your comp plain and simple.

[BUGGER]

the only thing i dont really like is zerg camping. like when a zerg decids to go to a base with no1 in there, and they all just sit around sucking their thumbs. filling up the cc with 10 maxs, and justloading everybody inot the courtyard for n aperent reason, i mean nooffence, but thats just stupid.

this game needs more tatics, instead of a zerg dm, how to override the base, where do u place ur ass inside, just plain tatics, the ctf thing may have some, but its not what this never ending game needs.

[Nixon]

I think platoons are the single thing that most people have been waiting for, even over things such as the Sanc Strike and the Lodestar. For the uneducated, platoons were initially said to be three squads... though how full those squads must be and whether two squads can still make a platoon was something that was never covered. But imagine having 30 people all working together... that's more people then most popular FPSs can fit on one server.

HART changes... it'll never happen, otherwise it defies the purpose of warp gates and respawning. If you get involved in a battle and suddenly you lose the ability to pickup your max suit or access a terminal, all you'd have to do is quickly warp back to Sanc and drop back in. The current time is ideal because it keeps Drop Pods from being abused in various manners, and makes the time between reinforcements further apart otherwise wave after wave of Zergers would come pooring in every couple of minutes.

Now as for Paul's comment, I agree to an extent... most people cause their own problems with performance in this game, either from not having the hardware to support it or from turning on way too many features that they can't handle. I have a very decent rig, mind you, (1.33 GHz Athlon, 1 GB 2700 RAM, ATI 9700) but the game still has some annoying bugs... such as hard locks and CTDs. Thankfully, I only tend to get one hard lock every two hours or so with SOE claiming its either my power supply or overheating that's the problem... which I know isn't the case because I've already taken them into consideration and tested them. Still, the game looks GREAT with everything enabled, and I only experiance some net lag in battles involving 300+ people in very close proximity. Below that, I have no problems whatsoever.

there is no War room. There should be a war room at Sanc, this way the CR5's can actually do a better job and actually place a plan there for all to see. right now all a CR5 does is tell where the zerg is happening. and I hate mob fighting

[gunner_uk2000]

ok i know what you mean about the HART, the reason i said that was because it was annoying joing the game, then having to stand around for 8 or 9 minutes.

a better idea would be to have it so you can drop in when you join the game, instead of going the the sanc.

This would be very usefull. Especially for those really big battles. :)

[Cauldron Borne]

The thing I absolutly detest about this game is those people who choose to look for the things that thay don't like about a game, as opposed to the things that they DO like. There are problems, but all great things have problems, either live with them and be hopeful for fixes or just don't play. If it causes enough stain on you to make a thread concerning a problem then perhaps the latter is good for you.

ELH on Konried has a habit of taking 200 TR and going and taking an empty continent, then saying they owned NC or VS all the way to the WG.

My squad went in sence we saw a TR base or two on Hossin, we figured there were very few TR there sence all the NC were elsewhere. We go over this base, and we see (not kidding) 10 reavers over the base, 4 prowlers, 3 mauraders, a TON of infantry and MAXs, all sitting in a TR base.

WHY DID THEY HAVE ALL THAT TO TAKE AN EMPTY CONTINENT!!?!??!?!?!?!?

[Navaron]

The newest thing I hate are these punk ass recruits coming along and trolling people for discussing the game.

Other than that, the total lack of new content to warrant the monthly fee.

I'd be fine if they'd deliver what they said when they said, but they don't listen to the community, think up their own harebrained schemes, don't test or patch, and on top of it all - work on an expansion pack while this game is less fun than it was in beta.

To sum it up; SOE owns it.

[Hezzy]

I know this is too late to mention, and is common sense. But please. Constructive critisisim. Not "7Hi5 g4M3 5uck0rz! N0 bIg gUnZ!" or anything profoundly dumb like that please.

[Cauldron Borne]

The words never escaped my my lips. I just think Instead of finding whats wrong with a game, why don't you find something that is GOOD with the game, as there is no shortage of material there either. I don't think it is very fair for some complete stranger to up and call me a punk ass out of the blue just because I made a comment. I notice all he was doing was throwing out insults. The game needs more constructive criticism, like all games. I just think some good words wouldn't be lost either. And if the best way you can counter and argumentative debat statement is with an insult than maybe your age and intelligence should be questioned ,in that order, not mine.

Would you pay 26 dollars for the liberator and skygaurd?

[Cauldron Borne]

Yes, uhh, no, uhh. Not JUST the libby and sg, other stuff too, Just can't think of anything right now. Oh! How about the chance to play with thousands of others via the Internet?

[Headrattle]

My main problem?

http://planetside.station.sony.com/game_updates/future_plans.jsp?id=55904

Two of the six things on that list have been delivered.

http://planetside.station.sony.com/game_updates/future_plans.jsp?id=56632

Only a few on that page, and it says "in the next two weeks." Many of them haven't been delivered.

They have promised soo much and they haven't given us what they promised. I can only hope that those things get implemented before the LLM does. I can only hope that the LLM takes as long as those two links have.

I can only hope that the LLM turns into the next Platoons.

They should have devilered what the promised before threatening us with the LLM.

Seems to be a lot of these in here. :rolleyes:

Anyway...

I've heard questions about platoons in this thread, and i would like to offer everything i've heard about platoons so far.


Platoons consist of 3 squads
The members are displayed on the tactical map by color coded numbers, different color = different squad
The different squads are designated at the top of the screen, similar to the way squads are displayed
They haven't figured out how xp will be handled yet
They have no plans(released to the public) about multiple platoons formation
All of this is at most 90% true, nothing is solid, everything is subject to change

[WritheNC]

Basically the devs not listening to the community. That's a huge problem.

I would respect Spork more than anyone on earth if one day he said, "Everyone, we're listening. But we've got families to feed, the suits pay us, and the suits want us to try this CTF(<--- insert whatever else you don't like) thing. I don't want my wife and kids to go hungry so try it for the devs' sake, then bitch enough and rest assured the suits will eventually listen. You know how dumb and stubborn execs can be sometimes. They think they know what customers want!"

Of course that would never happen.

Oh yeah, I think MAXes are too weak, and why hasn't anyone nerfed the goddamned cancer yet? :confused:

[Happy lil Elf]

What do you think is the worst thing about the game?

Valcron and the other idiots that populate the official boards.

Would you pay 26 dollars for the liberator and skygaurd?

See, now to me that question implies you think that for your monthly fee you are entitled to not only new content every month, but more of it that you've been recieving.

Lets get this out in the open right now, because there have been little comments like this since before Beta closed. Your 1$2.95 a month entitiles you to log on and play. Not new guns, vehicles, bases, continents, or any other type of content. Would they be nice? Sure. But they are not mandatory. You do not "deserve" them for paying SoE a monthly fee. If that doesn't appeal to you, please do yourself a favor and look elswhere for entertainment as MMOs do not seem to be somthing you're going to like.

This is an MMO. There will be major bugs. There will be lag. There will be smalll but somewhat annoying bugs that take for-fucking-ever to fix. There will be new content, but it will not come quickly and most of it probably won't be free. There will be idiots, and in your group/squad/guild/outfit too. The players will never believe the Devs listen enough, and the Devs will continue to do what they believe is right for the game which is wrong about as often as it's right. This is an MMO, boys and girls. To me it's probbaly the most fun and frustrating type of game, which is probably why I enjoy them so much.

[tmax]

how soe tries to make the heavy assult weapons "equal", but fails miserably each time they " fix up" one of the guns

[Nixon]

I'm going to have to agree with Happy lil'Elf on this one. It's also important to separate the Devs from SOE, as it is with every game out there. The people making the game aren't the ones who woke up and said "Let's release a game that's not quite done this way we can start cashing in on our investment." Devs are gamers, just like all of us, and they share the same views in many cases as we do. What they're trying to do is make a solid game with the time, money, and people they have. But this is also a business, and there are people high above the Devs calling the shots and are more prone to making decisions that are better for the company.

Spork is like the speaker for the White House... he isn't involved in decision making, and can only report what little information he has and try to dance around the rest, making efforts to keep the name of the people he work's for remain mostly clean. The information "promised" by him isn't anything set in stone. It's like Ari Fletcher (or however you spell it) saying that we'll find Saddam this week... his words just don't have real weight, but too many take it as much more.

I hold more confidence in the Associate Producer's Letter... right there is stuff straight from the fingers of a guy who has some power in the course of this game. He's like one of the President's secretaries, and can make a difference.

Learn what sources are worth quoting, and which ones you have to give a bag of salt to. The Devs are listening, as our favorite PR man Spork has alluded to. You just have to remember that your voice is only one out of thousands, and even a hundred people agreeing on something that needs to change are only a small minority in how many people there are out there to listen to. And like your parents, they have to make decisions for your own good even if you don't like them...

So clean up your room and eat your veggies, people... they really are listening. There will always be a problem with the game, but let's all try to remember that we like it enough to keep playing. Technically everyone here, the Devs, and the PS community are all on the same side because we just want a great game to play when we get home from work/school/picking up the welfare check. And no, I'm not on the SOE payroll... I just know a person or two in the industry.

[Bismarck]

There's an easy way to solve the platoon problem. It only works if all the squads are in the same outfit. Just have the SL's communicate thru outfit chat and then you can have any number of squads cooperating that you want. Although this isn't nearly as good as platoons are/will be, it is an OK temporary solution. It is also hard to organize large outfits into squads, so this is for the smaller outfits, like mine which has a total of 50 members.

It's not platoons and it isn't easy but it works alright.

[Navaron]

That's a load of bullshit. Look at ANY of the SOE or developer responses to the question to why PS deserves a 13$ monthly fee, and every single time they mention monthly updates, constant balancing and patches and exclusive content. What pisses me off even more is that when it comes time for people to renew, then they parade out all this other free shit for people to drool over, then don't deliver it within the same month they say they will.

I'd appreciate it if you'd not fucking tell me where to go or what to say when I'm paying for the same product you are.

[Cauldron Borne]

Hmmm....
I REALLY enjoy this site and I enjoy the game, but I do not enjoy having to glean information out of a post full of cussing. I'd like to read what you have to say but not when you have to curse to do it. It makes you sound childish. Use a more intelligent way to insult someone or express anger. Or dont do it at all. Either way will prove you to be the better man/woman for it.

[Happy lil Elf]

That's a load of bullshit. Look at ANY of the SOE or developer responses to the question to why PS deserves a 13$ monthly fee, and every single time they mention monthly updates, constant balancing and patches and exclusive content.

Saying they will be adding things is not the same as you being entitled to them adding a set amount per month. It's a benefit of the game that it changes and new things are added, not an entitlement. You deserve nothing, because you can cancel and walk the fuck out the door anytime. Don't believe me? Please go read your user agreement, but please by all means I'd like to see the quote that says you are entitled to new content for paying the monthly fee. The Devs respond with that because they want people to stay in the game. They add things to keep people interested, not because you deserve them for paying them money.

What pisses me off even more is that when it comes time for people to renew, then they parade out all this other free shit for people to drool over, then don't deliver it within the same month they say they will.

Welcome to the MMO world. It's called keeping people in the game any way you can. Despicable? Maybe, but it's hardly anything new in the MMO industry. Yes it's frustrating, it's also something I suggest you become used to if you plan on playing PS for a long time.

I'd appreciate it if you'd not fucking tell me where to go or what to say when I'm paying for the same product you are.

I didn't tell you to go anywhere or say anything. What I suggested is if the way MMOs work bothers you a great deal, they're probably not for you.

[Sleepwalker]

it's official. Navaron, i have not read a single post of yours that has not made you seem like a very bitter old man who spits at children that walk by his house.

the worst thing they did was make more promises than they could keep. no, not WOULD keep. COULD. believe it or not, they DO work on the game, and it's NOT easy to program things.

i'm quite happy paying $26 for the liberator, the skyguard, orbital strikes, fixed bugs, vehicle changes, medic love, lasher love (although it's a tough love), EMP blasts, new chat colors, and A MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER with dozens of certifications, weapons, vehicles, and thousands of real people to play with.

New content doesn't make old content obsolete. if you hate everything THAT MUCH, just stop. you've certainly made my forum visit an unhappy one, and i'm sure you're not dancing the night away over there. if there's ANYTHING stopping you from cancelling your subscription,
THAT'S what the monthly fee covers.

[1024]

Ouch. :ugh:

[Hertston]

The XP system.

This needs both a much higher reward for actually contributing (machinery repairs - should be limited to cbt eng, corpse revivals and above all killing stuff), and defense. Not to mention both individual skill, and achievements by a particular unit. Anyone else getting tired of seeing something like "w00t, a 5k cap :)" from people who have done naff all but follow the herd and mill about aimlessly ?

That fits in with the platoon thing. If XP is still going to be dished out in such huge chunks for base caps after the "CTF" changes, you need a unit organisation big enough to conduct a cap against significant opposition by itself, so the reward is (primarily) to that one platoon/outfit/whatever.

[Navaron]

"it's official. Navaron, i have not read a single post of yours that has not made you seem like a very bitter old man who spits at children that walk by his house."

Here, I'll try the coping methods fanbois use. OMG YOU DON'T like it? Leave don't let the door hit you on the way out! Wank wank wank. I don't give a shit if you like me or not, this isn't the miss America contest.


"the worst thing they did was make more promises than they could keep. no, not WOULD keep. COULD."

Sounds like you both admit that intentional deception "is part of MMO's" and we should just grab out ankles and be happy about it.

"believe it or not, they DO work on the game, and it's NOT easy to program things. "

No shit? I thought it was like playing pong all day.

"i'm quite happy paying $26 for the liberator, the skyguard, orbital strikes, fixed bugs, vehicle changes, medic love, lasher love (although it's a tough love), EMP blasts, new chat colors...."

Good for you. Are you happy with all the bugs they reintroduced? Are you happy with all the feedback they just ignored on the test forum? Although, I gotta say, those chat colors are killer.

"A MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER with dozens of certifications, weapons, vehicles, and thousands of real people to play with."

You say thousands as in plural. Enjoy it while it lasts.

"New content doesn't make old content obsolete. "

Who said that?

"if you hate everything THAT MUCH, just stop."

If you'd actually read anything I wrote you'd know I love this game and have probably put in more time on the test server than 99% of the people here.

"you've certainly made my forum visit an unhappy one, and i'm sure you're not dancing the night away over there."

Who are you again? I'm sorry my posts don't fly with your blindfaith fanboy jingoism.



Simple fact is, that prebeta, all through beta, and up until last month I was this games biggest fan. I've put in as much time on the test server as anyone here. I've submitted as many ideas as I can think of.

Am I angry that these guys seem to not listen to the community, goof off when *they* are on the test server, send patches live when they know they aren't ready, intentionally deceive customers on new content updates, implement new abstract ideas as bandaids instead of implementing the ideas the community likes, reintroduce the same bugs every patch, and all in all seem to have lost the vision they had for the game just 6 weeks ago? Yes I am.

So does that mean I should just puss out and leave? Screw that. I love this game and I worked through beta and work on the test server to make it better. If everyone who isn't happy with the game's direction leaves without fighting for their ideas, then you'll have about 400 fanbois fighting each other and a lot of nuetral bases.

Simple fact is, if you don't like my criticism of the game, don't read it. There's an ignore button. My points aren't trivial or refutable. If you don't like it, it's not my problem.

This game does not need a bunch of lemming fanboys who won't speak up about anything, it needs harsh critics who will give the game the tough love it needs.

How much time have *you* guys spent on the test server?

[Happy lil Elf]

I'd hardly say I'm a fan-boy (P.S. fanboi isn't a word, genius). I can't even play the game it's so buggy right now but since I'm paying about $9.99 for the game I'm willing to keep my account active until things get fixed. Let me say this again since you seem kind of dense: I'm not a huge fan of PS right now.

The difference is I have 3 years experience dealing with MMOs so I know what to expect and know that bitching, and on a fansite I might add, will do absolutely nothing. If you want to at least try to make a difference you could go rant about the game wth the rest of the fools on the official forums, but I have a feeling that probably won't happen.

Planetside needs tough critics, you're right. But they need tough critics that are level headed and experienced in dealing with MMOs. You, apparently, are neither.

By the way suggesting if you seem to not like the game, don't like the Devs, feel you're being ripped off etc, that you can always cancel is common fucking sense, something you seem to be lacking. Now do you want to play some more, Nav? Because this is actually kind of fun :)

[Navaron]

"I'd hardly say I'm a fan-boy (P.S. fanboi isn't a word, genius). "

Fanboi is a joke. Dick ;).

"Let me say this again since you seem kind of dense: I'm not a huge fan of PS right now. "

Let me say this again since you seem pretty dense yourself, I am a huge fan of PS.


"and on a fansite I might add"

A) I've seen the devs on here before
B) It's good to present the opposite opinion because it stimulates thought, which PSU has always been good for
C) I do post on the OF with the rest of the "idiots" which include hamma, headrattle and many others.

"But they need tough critics that are level headed and experienced in dealing with MMOs. You, apparently, are neither."

You can be level headed and passionate. All of my points are grounded in fact. You'll never hear me say, "OMG wtf this game sux the dev's suck, monkey's could do better".

"By the way suggesting if you seem to not like the game, don't like the Devs, feel you're being ripped off etc"

Reading comprehension's not your forte' is it?

Fanboi is a joke. Dick ;).

Humor is not really your forte', is it? That's almost as good as n00bhammer OFMGLOLZ!!!11!!..../sigh

Let me say this again since you seem pretty dense yourself, I am a huge fan of PS.

Your writing skills sems to be lacking. You seem to express youself in the exact opposite of how you feel.

A) I've seen the devs on here before

So have I, very very rarely. Admit it, you looking for an argument.

B) It's good to present the opposite opinion because it stimulates thought, which PSU has always been good for

Well I'll be damned, you did. Touche', and really I'm kinda glad there are people like you here. Would get kinda boring otherwise ;)
C) I do post on the OF with the rest of the "idiots" which include hamma, headrattle and many others.

Did you have a point in throwing Hamma's name out there? You are most definately not Hamma. I know he posts there. Does he bitch about the Devs incessantly though? Didn't think so.

You can be level headed and passionate. All of my points are grounded in fact. You'll never hear me say, "OMG wtf this game sux the dev's suck, monkey's could do better".

Eh, so are mine. Thing is we aren't arguing facts, we're arguing opinions of those facts ;). You're miffed that the Devs are breaking promises, I'm indifferent to it because I expect it.

"By the way suggesting if you seem to not like the game, don't like the Devs, feel you're being ripped off etc"

Reading comprehension's not your forte' is it?

Again, work on your writing skills. Stop making it look like you don't like the Devs and feel you're being ripped off and people who don't know you will probably stop thinking you feel that way ;) You've implied you don't feel you're getting enough for your cash per month, and you sure as hell have ripped on the Devs (which incidentally is the best way I know to get someone to listen to you :rolleyes: ).

Keep em comin, Nav. Maybe today won't drag by too bad if I get to argue with you all day :p

Does the movie require sound to be amusing? If so I'm probbaly not going to get all that much enjoyment out of it (no sound cards in computers at work) :(

As if the huge sig that's bigger then 95% of the posts I've seen wasn't bad enough, now every thread is turning into a bitching rant. Would it be possible to create a "Complaints Forum" where useless ranting can be placed while thoughtful discussion can be promoted elsewhere?

Posting more then somebody else is like having a high BR... it doesn't mean you're better then them, just that you've had a lot more time on your hands. Just my two peso's worth...

[Navaron]

Man, the new guys sure are anal.

If you're talking about Nav, he's one of the oldest, and most constructive members of this community.

[Happy lil Elf]

Nixon, aren't you dead? I swear I saw the funeral on the news...

If by anal you mean having an ass, then I wholeheartedly support this comment. :thumbsup:

No offense, but as an apparently respected member of the community, I've only been able to view some of your most recent posts... specifically, anything in the past month or so. In that time, everything has been more or less negative to the point that your name does standout whenever I'm reading the forums... where I know full well that either PS or the Devs will be trashed in some manner.

Respected? Perhaps by your long time peers, but so far I've seen nothing in the recent past to make me think more highly of you then a person even newer then myself. Others have been able to catch my attention both with fruitful comments and/or suggestions on how to improve the game, or tips on certain existing aspects. As a person with "PSU Staff Contributor" under your name, I was expecting... I don't know, at least a less-negative approach to the game. Constructive criticism, not just angry spam... :(

[sptdexs]

What I dislike about Planetside(I dont hate anything about the game :)) Is how long it take for the damn Planetside techies' to respond to my fkin emails.

I also dont there isnt a way to attack Sancs'.

[Skullhead]

There is no PIE in the game... I"M HUNGRY FOR PIE GIMME GIMME...

[Revolver]

Worst thing is that the devs seem to be following their own agenda instead of listening to our requests/complaints :(
I thought the customers were always right. Damn, they must realize that they've hooked enough of us so that we'll pay no matter what they do :lol:

[Everay]

i agree with what 1024 said, the first thing

[Piith]

Invading SANC would suck.
you come on line sign in, and bam, your dead the invading empire is now standing infront of the spawning tubes. There are hours in the day that I see more of one empire then another, and those hours are when I play, I am NC but there are hardly any VS online when I am.
invading SANC is a bad idea, because PPL would take the advantage of lesser players online to invade their SANC.

[Streamline]

I'm gonna go with an interface issue:

Getting raped when your fucking around with your inventory or at an eq term fumbling around with your favorites. How you can't close out of you inv screen very quickly. Or when useing the voice chat binds. The mouse cursor pops up and if you in a fire fight and move that cursor you'll mischat. The whole reliance on this mouse cursor thing sucks ass. Operating the CUD is retarded if you get jumped. Basicly to get out of any of it you either gotta hit [esc] or close it out like you would a popup. WTF do i want popups in my game for?

[Arthell]

Bugs, crashes and exploits. There hasnt been one night since retail that i havent encounterd one or more of these.

Just after making an account i ran out of the re-spawn building in sanc and fell through the world.

[Queensidecastle]

The #1 problem with Planetside is:

A) A point to the struggle that the Empires are having
B) Goals
C) Lack of any incentive for defense
