Whats it like in your Clan's forum ?

[TheAadvark]

I have begun to notice the extreme pessimism in posts by our members on anything related to new content or state of the game. There is literally no joy to be found nor any silver lining to look forward too. The only reason most of us still log on is because of the people we play with.

Just want to know whether the same things happening with you guys as well ?

DVS has mainly been trying to make things better. A good bit of bitching if normal but mostly things like how to get use out of a class/vehicle, when OPs are going to happen, our MLG requirements, showing off videos, and what not.

Though the site is going through some reworking and changes every few days. For some reason it's a god awful purple now that looks kinda odd. Looks like a VS website to be honest.

There's always a core base of enthusiasts. On top of that you have people who come and go. You've got ups and downs but nothing too overly negative though.

[LoliLoveFart]

The sky is falling, dev bias and funny videos is about it mostly.

Yea now most of the fun we have is events on the test server, we still fight but without any real purpose it's just for cert grinding in the hopes that all these certs will pay off when the game finally hits it's stride.

We have a representative of the developers thought police on our forums.
His name is Basti.

With an in house cheerleader and constant pep talking it's very hard not to fall in love with the game.

Jokes, aside. PS1 Veteran disillusionment remains consistent - they are active in the community and waiting on a continental metagame.
We have the usual moans about imbalance and op - funnily enough it's usually the other empires equipment that falls into that category.

Mostly we just get on with playing the game.
Nothing else like it - 48 man platoons and hundreds if not thousands on your team.

It's fine but it doesn't take much scratching beneath the surface to see that people are fully aware of the problems but are just not talking about it much.

[Boomzor]

Sadly enough, the majority of our posts are about other games.

Planetside 2 just doesn't grab us as Planetside 1 did. Planetside 2 is like the quick fix farming simulator. PS1 would've have us hooked for days/weeks/months.... like in 1 you could do strategic behind lines warfare with back hacking and cutting off benefits/ drains.

Still play PS2 just needed to take a little break from it. New content is just too slow. This game needed to be released with intercontental warfare with at least 5 conts.

Ours is all about server transfer options atm, maybe to China if possible.
That way we wouldn't see too much of a difference.

Game is getting stale, the new additions to the game are not all that exciting for players who have been here since the beginning. I'm sure when Hossin finally releases people will be back at it. For me the main thing is the sense of doing the same thing every day with very basic strategies. Different locations, but in the end it's really the same battle every day as terrain makes very minimal differences in game play experience imo.

Outfit forums are pretty dead. There's only about 3 or 4 active players left in our outfit and even those people are wondering why they are still logging on when the game has so little to offer compared to PS1. The majority of the outfit is taking an indefinite break and waiting for the actual game to start.

[Shogun]

same with my outfit.

the only thing that is happening in the forums are members announcing that they are leaving the outfit because there is no fun in ps2 for smaller outfits and when they play, they only play for short sessions where solo play is even better than outfit play.

we are a small outfit, and we are only about planetside. so it is no surprise that people leave the outfit if they don´t like the game.
we had years of fun in ps1, but ps2 just can´t keep up. sad but true.

Even though our guys are primarily infantry they have been enjoying update 11. Though we may bitch on comms from time to time I think most of us still hope for the future pf PS2.

[maradine]

We use IRC as our primary comms channel and, as such, don't maintain a forum. We started with 2 in beta and now maintain 25, of which 20 are in regular communication and participate in at least one ops night a month. Standard weekly Op turn out is 12-16. Our BR spread is from the teens to the fifties seventies.

We're annoyed with the constant nerf/buff cycle, and by the general tone in the other communications mediums available, but are otherwise very enthusiastic about the game and playing with each other. We have a bot that tracks our server presence (both mains and alts) and keeps us in the loop on twitter happenings from the devs and other interesting parties. We frequently drink.

In short, our "clan forum" is a pleasure to be in. Feel free to swing by for a different, slightly less serious take on things.
