I've been playing Planetside 1 even up until last year (and would still be playing it if they gave it the HD overpass treatment).

I'll wait for a meaningful game over yearly COD's any day.

So, 1 year after "release" and the game is still in Beta...

Hahah yes, this! The next thing I'd like to see is Hossin with continental locking, a resource system implemented for bases and removal of battlezone boundaries to start making the game feel like there is a meaningful fight going on across a planet. This game needs Meta game and polish, not a new horrendous pink bumper for the harasser and some pumpkin hood ornaments...

Also pressing balance issues, such as looking at the ZOE max and AV turret.

Great job on the optimisations so far though SOE. New sounds were great playing last night, vehicle explosions made me say wow, but the fight I was in was a huge AV turret spamathon. Maybe it was just the particular base location in the Indar sea bed though.

You made this thread back in September

http://www.planetside-universe.com/s...ad.php?t=56519

Did you really need to create another one when we all know the reason why Hossin is not out yet?

Heyheyhey, atleast we are in beta now.

The alpha stage of working with an unstable barebones engine has been completed and now the beta phase of implementing the actual game mechanics can start. Hooray!

Ok, i apologize, that was a tad mean spirited. Must have been DOUBLEXBAUGHs in-game names that drove me here.

Also hamma has a point, wasn't it clear back in september that hossin will still take untill after optimizations?
I will still take my time to wait untill the aforementioned basic game mechanics (namely proper resource/support system and intercontinental warfare) are being put into the game before i start throwing poo at smeds door.

Another way of looking at this is that the optimization issue started being acknowledged and addressed 8 months too late, and that in January we thought we'd have 2 new continents by June.

So sure in September it was clear what was promised in January was still going to be a ways off. I'm not sure that makes it any better.

Such an extreme thread title. Chillaxify.

I am now officially confused, LOL.

I'm perfectly happy with them staying focused on the 2nd optimization patch, and then I'd much rather see a big quality of life patch where they put in 50+ no-brainer changes to make the game incredibly more enjoyable. Yeah. Operation Make Better Game sound much better to me.

Agreed. Especially since I recall something was said about PU2 / PU3 being related to making it easier to add new content to the game, kind of like the whole camo upgrade allowing for hacking of vehicles.

Well its officially been a full year since release and there was no meaningful landmass expansion. I can't name a single other MMO that didn't put out a landmass add on after the first year. Basically we are now getting the game we were supposed to be playing last year. I love the game, but its been a cluster fuck.

GeoGnome · 2013-11-15, 04:27 PM

So there is something about this that I would like to point out:

What have we had this year in terms of continents? By my count we have had 3 different versions of Indar, soon to be 3 versions of Esamir, soon to be 2 versions of Amerish, with Hossin and Nexus Nearly complete.

So lets take out what was there to begin with, and just make it, continent work it was done this year: 2 versions of indar, soon to be 2 versions of Esamir, soon to be 1 of Amerish, Hossin and Nexus.

So lets reduce it further, and just count Revamps of continents, and the nexus as half.

That brings us up to 4: 6 half continents and 1 full continent. Look, we've seen Hossin, we know it's mostly done and got held back because of the Optimization. 4 continents in one year next year would double the size of the game.

What needs to happen, is that Optimization needs to be Finished, and they just need to put a pad lock on the files that would allow them to edit Indar/Esamir/Amerish anymore.

So if we count fixing their own fuck-ups as a positive the US government really is pretty damn good.

You are giving them way too much credit for what has been given vs what has been on the table.

I disagree.

Again, they totally redesigned the continents multiple times. At this point, if they would Stop Doing That... we could get new continents put out.

Amerish was done how it should have been done: Just get it done in one go. Unfortunately, there were multiple varations of Indar and Esamir that will be gone in the near future. This is time that you cannot say cannot be used next year on Oshur or Cyssor or Searhus.
