This last patch is too much, time for action.

[Recondelta]

I feel as though the Planetside Development team has stolen from me.

Anyone who enjoyed using BFRs and paid for the expansion to use BFRs if you feel the same its time to spread the word.

This latest change to the Flight Variants is way overboard and I'm quite frankly tired of these devs using live servers to Beta test. We are paying monthly fees for content not to ride a rollercoaster of nerfs. I paid $29.95 just to use BFRs and they are now useless.

Rather than just cancel. I recommend those who agree with me start an anti-Planetside campaign on the various game sites. I dont take kindly to being abused by a company I've had over a five year relationship. I've given SOE a few thousand dollars over this time having multiple accounts on multiple SOE games. Planetside development team has outright stolen from anyone who purchased the expansion due to the overhyped BFRs.

Time for action.

they Nerfed Mah Instakill! The Sky Is Falling

[Sabinius]

yeah really, there fine now
they used to be KILL-MACHINES
Your probably just used to PWNZ0RING everything in site
it'll wear off when you dont use overpowered crap

[Kam]

Really they have gone overbaord. You people that don't use BFRs may not think so, but they have lost all usefulness. I havent died to a BFR for over two weeks and seeing as I use agile with three jammers and a rocklet and I can kill them, this is bad. I am not going to go "anti-planetside", but come on people.

[EarlyDawn]

Honestly, Flight Varients have to go. They're taking the prime weakness of the BFRs and making it near impossible to exploit in 75% of situations.

Anti-PlanetSide?!... Are flippin mad? Good god wtf have we been tryin to do these last few months with PS?! Not kill it, bring more people into you moron.

You should be ashamed for that remark, I too have been playin since day one, and I actually like BFR's but you've got to chose between the greater evils...

Make BFR's Gods again and lose more people... or ...Nerf em, and bring more people in

You're not supposed to nerf them to get more people in, your supposed to find an equilibrium to keep the ones you have now happy and bring more in

Ok yea your right, but it still upsets me to see someone even suggest the idea of a Anti-PlanetSide ad... I've brought about 5 people into the PS community and I'll go mad if someone starts killin all my, and countless others work

QFT, the PS community has worked countless hours on advertising for PS, no way we r going againts that

[FatalLight]

Hell no im not goin anti-planetside, what I will do is go on the OF and complain like the bitches who got it nerfed

[juggalokilla]

ok if your bfr gets pwnt by a guy in agile you prolly deserved it. As they were created to be in the rock paper scissors of planetside people<tanks<bfr<people theory you shouldnt be around infantry. you should have your roof camping asses out in the feild fighting tanks and air. most bfrs i see getting sloughtered were on roofs, or camping towers or ams's. thats not the bfrs role so you deserve what you get.


your also still more armed than a medeum tank but not multiple tanks. when they first released, you could walk your bfr anywhere you wanted and it took 5 tanks to defeat you and it was worse once you got the flight variant. now If you stay with other vehicles and your infantry instead of trying to lone wolf, you'll have a better lifetime in them. That fits the teamwork based part of PS. they might also quit nerfing them if they were used properly. Just like the pro bfr's said to infantry "adapt to the new problems". well they did, now you bfr drivers have to adapt yourselfs. learn some real tactics and you won't get omgwtfpwned when you used to feel untouchable.

This guy is friggin smart... Same thing I have been sayin since BFR's came out. Back in the day where 2 BFR's could rule the hole damn continent, it was so much fun being a infantry man.... First use your sniper rifle to take out its sheilds, then jammer it, next get several guys to finish it off with deci's...

Ya but when I kill BFRs, I don't hit the ones that are camping structures. I go after the lone wolfs that decide to run into the middle of a forest or stand in the middle of a bridge. I do this in agile with a rocklet and three jammers, to me that is simply too easy.

You said it yourself, you go after the lone BFRs. BFRs are meant to be vulnerable alone. If you die alone in your BFR with no allies around, you were not playing very well. Gunner BFRs should be in the middle of a bunch of friendlies, soaking damage and adding their firepower to the battle. Flight variants should jump in from the sides or rear, kill some doods, and then jump out of there. If you hang around in a flight variant, you'll get jammed and killed. If you go out solo in a gunner variant, you'll get jammed and killed. This is how things work, and so as far as I'm conerned, any cries of "I die to easy" have everything to do with your skill, and nothing to do with the overall balance.
