What do you think about the liberator status?

[Navaron]

I'm not sure what to think.

On one hand, it sure seems like a yank and run.

"Look, don't cancel, resubscribe, the game's only been out a month, and we're giving you two brand new vehicles! Yep, here's the skygaurd, keep paying, any day now the lib will be out, any day, any day, definately this week, wait it's been 10 days since the end of the 14 days we said it would come out? O, well that's cause it's no where near release, but we're testing it, and will get it out soon."

WTF? Either 3 weeks ago they knew it was going to be ready or not. I have a hard time believing that they honestly believed that a month ago, it would be coming out shortly. It feels like they wanted to prevent the exodus of players, so they just said yeah, here it comes, when they knew it wasn't ready.

OOOOOR,

As I've been told, I'm a paranoid ass. Either way, I know the devs are working hard and have plenty of shit to do.

Part of the reason I think they aren't "straight" with the populace is all the bitching that goes on over there. If it weren't for all of that, I bet they'd say, yeah were working on A, B, C, and starting D. The next week, we're having a tough time with A, but B and C are going great! It's too bad the community is so full of fucktards.

What do you think about all of it?

[Hamma]

Would you rather have them release a buggy as hell patch? Thats what happens when they listen to all the impatient people.

I'd be happy if they got the test server going and held off on the liberator so it could get a large scale test. And as I said in another thread, gamers are impatient.

Edit: and SOE knows as well as we do that the most vocal people are the whiners and people who dont even like the game

[Navaron]

Yeah, what's the story on the test server?

What would make me happy would have been another month of beta, but I'm difficult to please.

Beta, Pretty much the same thing as retail, execpt we didn't pay

[IDgaf]

You're not paranoid.

'Nuff said.

[Zatrais]

It's the way of the MMOGs.... *shrug* don't mind it to much since i'm enjoying PS as it is

^^^^^ Hate for the OF, but at least it keeps most of the idiots from PSU

I don't mind the wait, so long as the Liberator doesn't suffer from the rush job the Skyguard suffers from...

[JonnyK]

yeah, the skyguard looks like a piece of ass. but i was browsing the official forums this morning and spork said that he is Very sure it will be out this week. but apparently he has nothing to do with anything Planetside except read forums and tell the devs what ppl are bitching about, so i dont' really trust his word. but he says this week. and i hope it's true, that's going to be my next cert

[Lise]

I personally think the Skyguard ish sechshey, but that's just me.

What I've heard is that the dev team is intentionally taking their sweet time with the Liberator to make sure it's balanced. More power to them, I say. Something like that has a HUGE chance of being broken either way (bombs owning all and sundry or the plane being Striker fodder) so if they want some time to hash it out I'm willing to shell out the dough.

[EarlyDawn]

My issue isn't the release of a buggy patch... my issue, as Nav said, is that this seems like a yank-and-run tactic. I want them to fully test it, but it seems like they JUST started testing it, which dosen't coincide with Spork's "It's this week, I'm serious." attitude.

I just want them to come straight with us about all the upcomming features and their releases. The most important to me are the facility links and the medic additions, but it dosen't really seem realistic to think we'll see them until mid-Spetember, or early October. I just don't want all this stuff to be misrepresented anymore.

[BUGGER]

I dont g a shit about the new vehicles, I could wait. what I ant is the rearm/repair pads for air/ground vehicles. I mean Reaver run out of rockets in less then 5 minutes, we need to stock ourselves! Tho.....if its a hacked base......will you be able to hack the rearm/medi pads? If so, what do ya point the rek at?

Tho i also want the Lib, i'm brobly either gona loose my deliv/skygaurd (i switch between them everyday whichever one is really calling for it) certs or my reaver for it....but then i would have an extra cert just layin around......man i need br 10......screw cm2......



and the skygaurd is awsom, the guns look kinda dopy (shouldv had 1 flak cannon on each side along with the anti infantry guns on each side) and its the only vehicl i flipped 3 times, still, the skygaurd is awsom!

[kidriot]

whatever SOE is going to do to change the game they ought to do it soon. the Liberator will be a fun toy but it will not be the saving grace of Planetside.

[Lonehunter]

I agree with Navaron in a way. Although I know that it takes a while to do some good testing on new vehicles. I wish they would just keep their mouths shut on the subject. They should give us news on the new vehicle, then shut up till they are absolutely sure that it will come out in a couple days. Theres no point in getting our hopes up,

"We've been working on this really hard for the past two weeks now and it should be ready real soon."

then knocking them to the ground with a another two week wait and no new vehicle.
