Why this game is a failure.

[_-Gunslinger-_]

three letters SOE. These people never have and never will care about thier customers and are the reason Planetside, a game with so much potential, is one of the worst mmo's out there.

[Onizuka-GTO]

...i don't understand your reasoning....

Care to explain this a little further?

[Mango]

Your entitled to your opinion i suppose, not that I agree with it at all.

[TheN00b]

:nod:

Perhaps you could explain yourself a bit more, like ONGTO said?

[HawkEye]

i dont think this game is a failure.

[Hezzy]

I refuse to consider people's opinions if they don't bother explaining theirselves fully.

[EarlyDawn]

I refuse to consider people's opinions if they don't bother explaining theirselves fully.It's also worth noting that Planetside is what you'd call a "moderate hit", as far as subscription numbers go. :lol: :rofl:

Does that mean it's at Yellow or Orange alert? :p

[EarlyDawn]

Most defenitely Orange. :p

[martyr]

it's official: planetside is an orange.

[Baneblade]

I'd still be playing PS if my computer wasn't such a pos...

I do not agree that this game is a failure, maybe SOE doesn't care about their customers but they still have a game that makes lots of money every month and still have people like us that are still here after a full year.

[Desperado]

My only issue with the game ATM is the DC max and my framerate problems, other than that, the game is awesome.

Amen, I wish DC was even close to the scatmax, I might actually use it on my tr. :(

[Keebler]

I think we all need to stop bitching about balance issues and be happy that we have a game to play =). (this coming from an NC, so ehhh)

EA is worse. Motor City online was a great game, and they had to go shut it down so the devs can help the sims online.... morons.

[Rbstr]

the game is awsome, STFU.

Well realy i think it could have been better but it has been the only game i have bought for a year, and i've played it countless hours, it gets an A++ in my book. And the only day i will give up my subscription is if the game shuts down or i run out of all my money.

[EarlyDawn]

Hey hey hey, The Sims Online was a good game. Still is.

But yeh, I will stop playing Planetside when I go broke, die, or the game shuts down.

[scarpas]

we would like a reply gunslinger...

[FatalLight]

Hes right y do u think its a failure?

[EarlyDawn]

Sounds like somebody is a little sore over something. Appears to be pretty baseless.

[Onizuka-GTO]

Well there are problems, but i don;t think its a failure.

The one thing that really annoys me is bad framerate. Just by fixing that can make this games alot more enjoyable.

[Cryptica]

I dont think any game that is still around after a year can be considered a failure. I'd like to know exactly why he thinks of PS as a failure, and why he bothered posting it on a website that contains some of the most die-hard fans of the game, and a lot of them.

[Nalar]

Hmm... I dont think he is coming back. Maybe you guys scared him off b/c this isnt like the OF where every troll arounds jumps in with support comments like "yea!!~! SOE is garbage" and "y0u Sux0Rz"

Im with the rest of you guys here, I think that any game that has been around over a year and still continues to come out great new developments (re: Battle Islands) is ok in my books.

[scarpas]

yep, just as i thought, hes abandoned the thread.

:lol:

[Ait'al]

As to the begining of this conversation. SOE has always been known for exptecting their games to work themselves out. Except maybe when Everquest was first created.

[Real Mulambo]

Well that thread was a resounding success.

Nobody really agrees that it is a failure so crawl back under your rock and boomer yourself.

[Radaeron]

hehe, rock.. boomer :P


well.. i want them to sort out a few of the bugs currently in game before new stuff,... although i reaaally want battle islands asap :P aargh i can't choose!!

clicked on an AMS on pop-locked ish yesterday.. sent me back to sanc...
luckily i didnt even wait a full minute :D still.. i couldve been there for ages..



Me wants:
Old pounder... i only saw a total of around 10 friendly maxes yesterday.. most were bursters, which is kewl :P cause bursters are noice.
i might actually use the maxes then :P

Probly for attention and to start a thread of his own

[_-Gunslinger-_]

Ok whoever stated that I was sore over something was very correct. I had grown tired of strikers locking on to my max (VS) and 3 hits killing me. And I had grown tired of the auto reload on my starfire dropping the lock before my missiles could hit.

Now what 90% of you have been asking for: Why this game is a failure.

My first point was SOE and thier non-scheleant attitude twords thier customers. That is pretty self-expanitory they just dont care and were supposed to accept that. EG. my br 15 cr 2 VS guy was "deleted" and when I asked them why they said they would look into it. I spen 3 weeks playing all the empires until I emailed them again and recieved a dismissive response. I decided that I would just use maxes to build up a new char.

Now onto why this game is a failure. Its BOREING. The only conts that are interesting are imposiible without a vehicle. The largest problem is the stamp bases. I know that if every base was different people wouldnt know where they were going but to err on the side of ignorance RUINES gameplay because it gets boring. Next they attempted to add some type of "RPG" element to the game. The only reasoning I can think of is that they needed a way for people not to quit after their first month free. AV's inbalance to vehicles and max units. Yes the armor class is changing but after the one year mark? wow that type of look the other way mentality is reason alone for me to leave and lastly the fact that besides the massiveness of planetside the game is largely unoriginal. Tribes + Biowasteland = PS on crack. Furthermore the total lack of stratagy required. The fact that weather is implimented yet has no effect on anything because 99% of the players have it off, same with flora.

I realize now that this thread is largly unproductive. As I highly doubt I will change anyones mind in a fansites forum. Nor was that the intention. I apologize for wasting everyones time.

[Rbstr]

Spork actualy said the peopl with weather off acctualy have thier Viewing distances truned down to an aproximation of the way the weather effects it, though i keep weather on becasue it looks cool, so i don't know.

The only reason a character would be deleted was of you own fualt, either deleting him in the game or nt playing with him for 3 months prior to the name cleaning

[Hamma]

This thread is a blatent attempt at some kind of flame war :lol:

Surprised you didn't lock it up Hamma.

[Baneblade]

Because it failed...

Now for the real topic,

Why this topic is a failure.

[Lartnev]

Now onto why this thread is a failure. Its BOREING.

[Spee]

Not to mention non-schalant.


Ive seen some pretty bad typo's in my time, but holy fuck.

[BUGGER]

If you wanted to post bad stuff about planetside, dont post in the forums where the people love PS.

Second, customer sevice may suck balls, but the people who make this game are geniuses. They made MAXs undevendable against any type of AV weapons or else MAXs would be overpowered (its why us TR hate the decimitator).

As for your character i am sorry. It might be your fault or a simple bug (a very bad on tho). Perhaps you tk people alot (purposly or not), done some outragous stuff on chat, etc that would cause people to delete that character.

[TheN00b]

People, stop posting in this thread. Just stop. It is deader than a doornail.

I loved MCO, I can't believe EA shut it down. On top of that, I payed like $40 for the game itself + subscription, and the best they could offer was a choice between 2 or 3 other no-name EA games that ALSO had a subscription. I want my $40 back >_<.

Ima keep this one...

PS: It's nonchalant...

[SilverLord]

This thread sucks.

[JFPhoenix]

SOE does the same thing to SOCOM, sometimes they just don't care about the customers although it's still a really fun game to play it could be slightly better.

[Lonehunter]

three letters SOE. These people never have and never will care about thier customers.

You could never be more wrong. Well, not entirely, but if your gonna say something like that then just say it about Planetside customers. They treat the EQ customers pretty well.

[Ait'al]

Gunslinger! This game was made on an rpg element. It has always been that way. THats how they advertised it years before it came out.

Hell they even go out of their way to explain that to you in the websites description of the game for newcomers.

[scarpas]

if you wished not to waste anyones time, why did you repy with a long answer that was confusing as hell?

[JetRaiden]

I hate these threads. gunslinger I understand you are entitled to an opinion but what you said is completely devoid of logic. please hang up and try again.
