Things that make me RAGE.

[p0intman]

So I came back to the game and ive been back maybe 3-4 days, two of the four nights now I have ragequit from various things that make me want to punch my brand new monitor, or anything nearby for that matter. So, without further delay, heres all of the shit that still pisses me the fuck off.

-Fuck bunnyhoppers. All of them. Fuck light assault especially.
-Fuck the magrider. You can fucking snipe with that thing.
-Fuck bad base design in the amp station and biolab that promotes camping. No, tunnels did not do jack shit, just moved the killbox to another area of the base, closer to where more members of the enemy empire are. Bases are tilted in the attackers favor, whoever came up with that is a huge fucking retard.
-Fuck shields around teleporters and spawn rooms. Just promotes MORE FUCKING CAMPING
-Fuck bad reaver pilots who flip galaxies and blow up entire squads who are loading up
-Fuck people who jump empires and kill sundies
-Fuck bad sundy drivers who deploy ams units in bad spots that then fuck my spawn up
-Fuck giant outfits in general, because they cannot and will not possibly take a fight head on unless they outnumber and outgun you 82:1.
-Fuck indar, especially. Remove this cont, it was not designed to be capture-able, just to show off different gameplay. Its a bad cont, IMO.
-Fuck people who won't go to esamir or amerish for a good fight
-Fuck catering to cod and battlefield assholes
-fuck mlg and putting dev resources on it when there is so much shit that needs to be fixed
-fuck ingame voip
-fuck the chat system and its inability to use straight shortcuts to commands like /t for /tell or /p for platoon.
-fuck the chat system and its inability to let me make my own goddamn channels
-fuck the lame tards who do nothing but camp outside of a base and won't dare fight because they're fucking afraid of nuking their k/d
-fuck lib pilots and gunners
-fuck people who are never in anything but tanks or liberators
-fuck people who stand inside spawn rooms or teleport rooms and camp and do nothing else

that said, there is something that ties it all together, want to guess?

Shit base design promotes camping because attackers have it too fucking easy and apparently capping bases shouldnt be hard because it might drive all of the bads away because they might have to think outside the box for a minute.

[Rothnang]

Well, fuck you.


Some things I can agree with, but getting pissed at people for the way they play, the games they like, the units they pull etc. isn't cool in my book.

[EvilNinjadude]

I agree about the Teleporters and tunnels. Sure, make a low number of tunnel exits that you can't see or attack through but will still try to use because your spawn room has too few doors.

Solution: Multiple spawn rooms around the Amp station. Problem solved.

[bpostal]

You also forgot to fuck people who put mines in teleporters.
Overall, a crass but accurate original post.

That was a problem before the update blocked off the tower teleporters. Now not so much anymore though people like that are still ASSHOLES.

Is it so hard to make teleporters a no-drop zone for mines?

ive not ran into this primarily because of PS1 wisdom.

MAXES GO FIRST

that is the first rule of breaching in planetside. i learned that the hard way on my second day in planetside 1 back in 03/04 or whatever it was.

[bpostal]

I'd agree with you about MAXs being first, if only I could find some outside of a biolab fight.
I'd argue though that there is one more person who is(was) vitally important to Planetside MAX crashes/breaches: The guy with the REK.
Besides, ask anyone in my outfit. I'm not a no learner but I am a slow learner.

[EvilNinjadude]

I'd agree with you about MAXs being first, if only I could find some outside of a biolab fight.:rofl:

Oh that's a good one, and true to boot!

Except maxes of other factions. There'll be one in every non-empty facility you visit.

[Chaff]

How can anyone fault the guy ...... didn't you read the NAME he gave this thread(rant) ?

He certainly made his point, man.

[Falcon_br]

There is an easy solution to spawn camp.
Make the default spawn have teleports to another small sizes secure rooms like those ones in bio labs that come from the outside bases.
Now there will be 4 bases exits to camp, yes, a Zerg can still camp them, but small squads can't.
Also, when I saw that the anti personal mines for eng costed 100-150 certs I asked myself, why am not using it since day one? You can place them and switch back to anti tank mines for the win!

Yeah, that'll be the same as having multiple spawn rooms, which was my suggestion. I dunno which one would work better.

[Roy Awesome]

It sounds like you just dont like this game.

Perhaps you should resub and play PS1?

[DeltaGun]

Who actually uses the freaking "tunnels" lmao. Really not sure what the devs were thinking on this one.

[p0intman]

It sounds like you just dont like this game.

perfect honesty here: I don't actually want to hate PS2. I WANT to see it work, but as it is, the current design or just its implementation (because i dont know the design) DOESN'T. If any one dev looks at this and actually takes anything meaningful away from it, good.

Thats why I wrote it all down. If I simply wanted to see it burn to the ground, I'd have walked away again and said nothing. Hamma suspended me for a week, I vanished for a month with nothing more than a laugh. If you take offense to what I've written, nothing I can do about that, but it is how and what it is. It is the blunt and perfectly honest truth about how I see the game as it is right now. I pull no punches nor do I sugarcoat anything. Don't like it? Too bad.


As for PS1: Smed has only to flip a single switch and turn all of the accounts back on for free, and you'll never see me comment on PS2 again.

[almalino]

Nothing make me rage in PlanetSide 2. For some reason. May be because it is the game I was waiting to replace BF2142 and finally it is here and I play it :)

I just cannot be angry at so beautiful and cool game.

[BlaxicanX]

If any one dev looks at this and actually takes anything meaningful away from it, good.



They won't, because nothing meaningful was said. They'll enter the thread, the first thing that will catch their eyes is the descending "fuck"s, and then they'll just exit the thread. They won't even read your post, just like I didn't read your post.

You aren't saying anything meaningful, you're crying.

[Rolfski]

Come back in 6 months

[Pella]

Things that make me rage, are people that dont even play the game and moan about it.

And still hang around these forums like a bad smell.

Get over it already and move on.

Most individuals do. If there is no cataclysmic event, games die not with a bang, but a whimper.

Those who complain do so because they care. For those to whom the game's success does not matter (possibly because they have been turned off of a game by poor mechanics), criticism is too large of an effort, as opposed to simply leaving silently.

Its a case of letting it go.

-Fuck bunnyhoppers. All of them. Fuck light assault especially.
Bizarre. Not much reasoning given here. Personally I don't think they should be allowed explosives.


-Fuck the magrider. You can fucking snipe with that thing.
/signed


-Fuck bad base design in the amp station and biolab that promotes camping. No, tunnels did not do jack shit, just moved the killbox to another area of the base, closer to where more members of the enemy empire are.

Disagree. Great design IMO. Would have preferred something similar to the original stations with an interior of some kind though.
Language unnecessary.


-Fuck shields around teleporters and spawn rooms. Just promotes MORE FUCKING CAMPING
Well these are here to give defenders a chance against camping attackers, a viable solution to the aforementioned problem.


-Fuck bad reaver pilots who flip galaxies and blow up entire squads who are loading up
Can't argue with that.


-Fuck people who jump empires and kill sundies
/signed


-Fuck bad sundy drivers who deploy ams units in bad spots that then fuck my spawn up
Bad is relative, you have many spawn options, you should be in a squad with a squad deploy button.


-Fuck giant outfits in general, because they cannot and will not possibly take a fight head on unless they outnumber and outgun you 82:1.
Sounds like solo-hero opinion.


-Fuck indar, especially. Remove this cont, it was not designed to be capture-able, just to show off different gameplay. Its a bad cont, IMO.
It's a great cont. Flow needs work.


-Fuck people who won't go to esamir or amerish for a good fight
As someone whose favourite continent is Esamir, /signed.


-Fuck catering to cod and battlefield assholes
I have enjoyed the nods to battlefield, having only played Battlefield 2 somewhat. The gunplay is a billion times more satisfying than Planetside 1.


-fuck mlg and putting dev resources on it when there is so much shit that needs to be fixed
They've said that the people working on that are a dedicated team, which doesn't impact on the core game.


-fuck ingame voip
I like it. I like it with all of its flaws. Except the bugs.


-fuck the chat system and its inability to use straight shortcuts to commands like /t for /tell or /p for platoon.
I thought /t was working. Guess I've gotten used to it.
/p thing is odd tho for sure.


-fuck the chat system and its inability to let me make my own goddamn channels
If you made one, I would not wish to read it. It would probably be called "The fuck everything channel".


-fuck the lame tards who do nothing but camp outside of a base and won't dare fight because they're fucking afraid of nuking their k/d
THIS. A THOUSAND TIMES THIS.
But K/D is only one factor, another is that their vehicles may not be respawnable in the local vicinity and the deconstruction timer for heavy tanks and such is fucking tiny. The chances of it being there when they get back are slim, not taking into account the enemy coming to blow them up.


-fuck lib pilots and gunners
Not the problem they were. I think they're in a good place right now.


-fuck people who are never in anything but tanks or liberators
Fair comment. I imagine many of them will leave them once they hit 100.
For tanks however, there are mines.
I would like air-minefields. Some kind of floating mine dispenser.


-fuck people who stand inside spawn rooms or teleport rooms and camp and do nothing else
Yeah. Unless the base is helplessly overrun, in which case, it's nice to get some kills for your disadvantage.


Shit base design promotes camping because attackers have it too fucking easy and apparently capping bases shouldnt be hard because it might drive all of the bads away because they might have to think outside the box for a minute.

I miss more defendable facilities terribly.

[ringring]

Yeah, that'll be the same as having multiple spawn rooms, which was my suggestion. I dunno which one would work better.

Neither will be a good experience.

If you get rid of spawn camping you still have a lot of running and shooting and a crap Amp Station design.

My suggestion.

make the tunnels 2 way and put the capture point and the spawn gen inside the spawn room (remove or vastly limit the painfield obviously).

[ChipMHazard]

This thread reminds me of my "I hate players" thread. I approve of the hatred you feel for you fellow PS2 player, point:D
Although I question the constructiveness of this rant.

As for PS1: Smed has only to flip a single switch and turn all of the accounts back on for free, and you'll never see me comment on PS2 again.

Probably not as simple as that:p

[moosepoop]

do this to immediately enjoy the game:

stop cert grinding. take it slow.

Barrage balloons! Huge Purple ones!

Good rantage, though. Structure, flow, spite and passion in equal measure with just the right amount of obscenity. Chapeau, sir.

air mines isnt a bad idea. it forces ESF chasing you to disengage.

[camycamera]

even with all of it's flaws, i love this game. it has a long way to go still, but it is still the best MP FPS out there imo. sometimes i get pissed off, log out, but then remember what makes the game so great in the first place, and then log in again, and have a kick ass time.

my suggestion to you is to relax, take a break. and when you come back (I KNOW you will), ignore all of the bad stuff in your head and have fun with the good stuff. ignore all of the metagame problems etc, just remember that time when you looked down into the distance on a large hill, and watched a large battle rain down below...

[bpostal]

I don't think you could have come up with a more condencending, worthless post if you got drunk, dressed up like a sexy pony and spent a month on 4chan...

Perhaps you should try a different forum?

one of the first gaming machines i ever got to try, right alongside a super NES and sega genesis was one of these:

Dont diss the pacman.

[Sturmhardt]

I guess ps2 is not the right game for you. You should play something else. Don't get me wrong, many of these points are valid and I don't play ps2 anymore myself, but those points are not really gonna change. You hate the core of ps2.

Couldnt agree more

The one thing that worries me the most about continent locking is i can see everyone being stuck on there EVEN MORE then now

Simply due to how hard it is to warp gate 2 factions on Indar

My ps1 sub just ran out this morning. No sign of ps2 membership including ps1 access, no sign of ps1 free to play whatsoever. Come on Smeds, we're all waiting.
