Well, I don't really need to say it, but I will anyway.
The game is raw and unattractive long-term. There was some hope for the six month plan, but it doesn't include enough of the vital solutiuons to make the game better, and now I finally give up. I tried Crysis 3 Multiplayer, and, excuse me, but Crysis 3 CTF (Capture The Relay for that matter) is more fun to play, than PlanetSide 2.
Perhaps my feedback on what I dislike, aswell as the things I like will help in some way:
Dislike:
- Solo MBTs
- Absent limit for vehicles (Be it unlimited CP, low vehicle prices, bad landscape/building designs, forcing spam, it all contributes)
- Unlimited customization
- Unlimited CP
- Bad base/tower/outpoist designs (too much open space)
- Defensible Crown vs Non-defensible pretty much everything (like towers with 1 point inside a tower for defenders to defend and 2 for attackers to take)
- Overabundance of capturable territory
- Landscape (In its widest meaning - like The Bastion's wall that doesn't makee any strategical sense)
- Significant bugs with every patch
- Money grabbing by invisible pay to win
- Liberators with artillery cannons
- Too much flak
- Lacking linearity in continent capture
- Unzoomable minimap
- Lack of desire to fix main problems first (six month plan reference)
- Command being a squad/platoon-leader prerogative instead of dedicated people (just for the note - two-man squads also have squad leaders)
- As a result of many things, the game doesn't generate different situations all the time. So in short it's zerg zerg zerg.
Like:
- Visual Designs (except for camos)
- TTK and game pacing
- Vivox
- Shredder Liberator
- Many small things (There're many small things I like, and there's even a saying that it's small things that matter, but I'm afraid it only applies to when the general architecture is more or less complete)
I'm upset to post it, but since this is the place where most people know me, I must say "Good bye and see you no less than year after!" first. (I will still be lurking the forums, so don't forget to post news
)
To SOE: I hope you spend my bucks wisely.
