I've done some outfit ops but they really slowdown my character progression. You know, capping bases nobody cares about and earning 1 cert every 10 minutes. Time is spent just waiting for the bases to flip. And none of the capping matters cause nobody is there to defend, because its boring and because there's barely any action compared to crown. So everything flips back in 30 minutes.

Also the low population makes it even harder to find people to shoot at any other time but peak hours, and even then my server (woodman) never goes above medium-pop. Crown is the pretty much the only place where u can enjoy interesting battles.

Then people started this stacking thingy where they just skip continent the moment they are doing poorly...which means EVEN LESS PEOPLE TO SHOOT AT.




I miss the strategy of PS1 so bad, this game lacks focus badly. It allows people too much freedom to choose where to go to, so It ends up as just a big sandbox of team deathmatch and hide&seek.

Yea certs do come faster when you go to the hot spots, I mean I find myself going to the crown, or looking at the map for a good 3 way fight. But let me add this if you consentrate in one spot and loose alot of ground you will notice that your resources start to dwindle and you wont have access to vehicles. I think the devs were hoping that players would see the value of bases to keep the resources coming in, but this has kind of backfired. Because when you defending a base, you dont need them as much, but you do gain cert points just faster, hence the crown. I can sit up there for like 2 hrs with a xp booster and rain hell on the enemy. Now alot of players continent jump for resource reason. I mean if your on a continent and you find your resources running low, you can jump to a continent that has more bases and replenish your resources faster. I mean sometimes I have to jump to a new continent because of lack of resources. I mean I like fighting at the Impact sight and Tawrich tech plant as well as the crown. these fights are mostly 3 way and alot of certs points. My outfit does a free for all night were we forgo ops and just run around looking for good fights. We dont consentrate on taking bases as much, just looking for a big fight, and nights like these I gain alot of certs, but at the same time we do have to watch the number of bases we have for resource reasons and tech plants as well. I mean maybe in the future things will change and devs will look add somthing to motivate players want to take a base, or to defend it.

What happened to this ^^^ Still on the PS2 page in the game overview.

They either need to fix the game to match this or fix the page to reflect the crap they've turned it into.

That game you talk of sounds like Planetside 1

Yeah I'd like to see 2 or 1 continent; force people to fight it out. Adding more would be OK but as someone said before; will just thin out the population and leave more open bases for easy XP. I'd rather see populations concentrated and force player interaction.

Really though it's not like this scenario happens all day and all night. Ya if you log in off-peak hours it looks like that. When I log in during prime-time though there's a lot of action going on and people are really fighting over continents. There might be one continent dominated but the other two are heavily contested.
