Things That Make You Log Off (rage quit)

[Fazed]

trees

Dude was asking for it, deliberately ramming infantry with his ESF, lol.

But yeah, trees are murder in this game. Nothing lulzier than trying to drop-pod into a base on Hossin, bouncing off of a 3 inch thick tree branch and barrel-rolling like 800 meters in a random direction.

Not taking in account that you sometimes manage to land on tree branches 500 meters up high.

1 fps. Everyone will quit.

For me its mainly just when theres no organised platoons, theres lots of things that annoy me like when I'm sprinting through a base deep in our territory and get 1 shot by a sniper, dying while in cover cos of server lag, hit detection, but I can get over all these things with a good platoon so I feel like somethings happening.

However when I'm forced to play solo or play with a platoon that has no waypoints and is quieter than a graveyard it just makes me feel like nothing is ever going to happen thus soliciting a rage quit.

Getting one tank or 2 then not being able to get another one because of resources. Just use the fucking timers like PS1

[Gatekeeper]

Yeah, I've never understood why PS2 has resource costs *and* timers. Just pick one!

And did they ever put deconstruction of vehicles back in? I never understood why they felt they had to take that out either.

You're in luck. They just removed the timer in today's patch!

FROM: Update Notes 8/5
Acquisition timers have been removed from vehicles and MAX. The ability to pull additional vehicles and MAX is now purely based on available resources to the player.

[Gatekeeper]

Wow, the dev's are responding to my complaints with instant patches!

Quick, what else needs fixing? Slower TTK! Dedicated drivers for MBTs! An F ability for Light Assault! A voice-filter for MAXs! A better way of telling if your corpse is still on the map, so you know whether to hang about waiting for a rez or not! An NS LMG for MAXs to stop the NC whining! (and an NS MAX shotgun to stop VS/TR whining once the NC get their way...)

The sniper nerf that caused bolts to be useless at really long rage. Rage quitted there and then and haven't played since because of SOE's dumb logic of making a semi auto more effective then a bolt. The fact that tanks are going to move at EXACTLY THE SAME SPEED IN REVERSE is making me fume as well. I know this isn't Arma or whatever, but a little realism, please. Other things like the fail biolab update and such didn't help with my decision of wherever I should continue to play or not.

On the plus side, Hossin is in now and there's shields and cloaks for suns which actually makes me want to give the game another chance. So I'll be putting it on when I can, which will be October because that's when I get unlimited net. As long as the devs don't do anything more to break all immersion.

You're in luck again, lethality on noobtoobs, HE and HEAT is being reduces as the first part in reducing lethality across the board.

This happens a lot for some reason and its obviously some kind of lag thing, even though i have decen 50-70ish ping most of the time.

This is due to lag compensation.

Yeah i watched a very informative video on it recently.
Its still makes me rage.

When I come back to this game, and remember how much worse it is than Planetside 1.

That makes me log off every time.

[Slaughtz]

What makes me ragequit:
When I log on and open the social/squad tab and there's no platoons open or even made. Immediately quit.

After about 10 minutes when there's no platoon that's going to good fights and I'm just generally bored because of the lack of action.

When the enemy has swarmed a base to the point I cannot engage them after an hour+ of play in which minor frustrations have built up. As minor frustration occurrences increase, time playing up until rage quit decreases proportionally.

What keeps me playing:
A smart and competent platoon leader with a group of people that aren't only entertaining but competent themselves.

Consistently getting a K/D ratio over 1:1 or an XP/Death ratio over 500:1 while playing with friends in a squad.
