This last patch is too much, time for action.

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 · 2005-01-21, 02:32 PM

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

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 · 2005-01-21, 02:51 PM

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.

FatalLight · 2005-01-21, 04:00 PM

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

internetn · 2005-01-21, 04:01 PM

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

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...

Kam · 2005-01-21, 07:02 PM

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.

I agree, but not with anti PS. BFR's were great in the test server, and as no-one complained, they were powerful. But i hate it how the dev's are nerfing them just because some people dont like them.

All you Anti BFR's, its your own folt. You should of standed up in the test server and say they are too powerful. If you did, there would be no fights between pro and anti bfr's as we would all agree when they came out onto the live server.

BFR's should be brought back to there full power, no more nerfing, i paided for them, I was on the test server using them, and there was no problem.

There was no problem on test because EVERYONE was in a bfr, sure they ended up balanced against eachother, but they did not fit into the game at all. Also becasue you paid more does qualify the right to screw over everyone else's gameplay. I pre-fucking-ordered core combat a year ago and have yet to see anything good come of it.

also test server users are a minority of the populace, you cannot expect to get a totally reliable balance off of ~50-100 people screwing around on searhus with some bfrs. Most of the test server was error-fixing, and sadly enough only a little balance.

BFRs are finally what they should be and actually fit into the gameplay rather than taking away from it.

I have friends and outfit members who use bfrs, a lot of them have either moved back to grunting, or simply become better. They still pull off 1 KpM and rarely die before their timers because they play smart and use them as they are ment to rather than some solo rambo roofwhoring dual AI tard who gets jammered and dies in under 15 minutes.
