Planetside - For better or for worse?

[Untouchable]

Well, I've been seeing alot of complaints in the last couple of months, and I think this has been mentioned a few times. Was wondering what your guys' thoughts were about having planetside rolled back a few patches, to around the time the liberator and skyguard were implemented, or perhaps to just before Core Combat, therefore removing BFR's, flails, maelstroms and all those other seemingly pointless weapons. I know this probably (or should I just say definitely?) won't happen, but it seems like PS was a much better game earlier on. I wouldn't even need some BS story to tell me why the BFR's and caverns disappeared or why I couldn't get my maelstrom anymore. I'd happily take the old bugs back that came along with it, just give me back "myplanetside."

I say just let the BFRs wear out, just like everything else that is new.

Remember thunderers? Tons of threads like THUNDERERER IS WAAAYY OVERPOWERED NERF IT NERF IT...

Now you hardly see any thundys.

Do you know how many bugs would make a comeback and how many positive changes to the game would be lost if you rolled back to last July (Liberator release) or even October (Core Combat)?

You're mad to even think about it imo.

I find the addition of mechs to the game wihtout ever doing the proimised from way back in the day wrevamp of base defenses just disgusted me more then typed text can properly convey.

Yeah, I'd rather have new bases or actual urban fighting areas. The caves are nice, but I'd rather worry about a sniper in a building that I have to run up the stairs to get to than one in a giant crystal on the ceiling =(

Edit - I'm not saying roll back to pre-cc, I would just rather have that than bfrs (oops)

[Ghryphen]

Well I had to vote for #1 as best choice. #2 will never happen, #3 may happen on its own but is dumb to wish for that.

[GreyFlcn]

I can deal with BFRs

It's the flying ones that I'm going to make certain are removed from this game.

CC was the start of all things ebil in PS.

[drsomewhere]

Now why did they release an expansion so soon after the release of the game. I think it drove away more than it ever brought in.

[Lartnev]

Money.

And I suppose to get new content into the game quicker....

i disagree. the OF whiners were "the start of ebil" - and they've been around since before beta.

[Lartnev]

Since before the dawn of (atomic precision) time!

PS was at it's hight jsut before BFR's i think, but i can't say about now, my comp died for a month and i havent played scence as every one i've played with left or is constantly playing other stuff.

i don't know, this game has been good all along, when ever one thing has been in place. A group of coordinated people. Especialy for me, leading a squad on an objective is awsome.

There's still hope, but we need less of the shiny toys and more interesting gameplay systems / character development.
