No. Should SOE make a server for all the people who hated the _________ buff, the flail, or Reavers? I think not! Making specific servers gets quite messy after a while.

well today after being repeatedly owned by bfrs I realized I hate BFRs too. But still it is part of the game and we just got to live with it. Kind of stupid to avoid an entire area of planetside... plus it'll make the caves just that much more useless.

I made the very foolish decision to invest in BFRs. God what a mistake, if even one person has a Jammer, consider yourself dead.

YES

PS, now, is not true to it's original form. What made it original..

Instead of following the path that they (PS) made, they are choosing the path more (recently) chosen. Appeasing.

It's like taking a hike with a bunch of friends, walking forward, everyones happy, then walking all the way back to meet the newcomers, who are very late.

Be happy with what is on your plate, or digest what you may not like (and what will be a part of you). You can add some spice, but you cannot change the meal.

well, think about it. That would mean your going to have to reinstall planetside in a nother directory for that one server, because its going to have different data than the regular servers. I think its a good idea, but I also think that BFRs should be wiped off the face of auraxis.

Server pops are low enough without another server being created.

So should SOE make and maintain two versions of one game?

If they did make a non BFR server, they'd have to make a clien version without the BFR's, test it, and then we'd have to download it. They'd have to test two versions of every patch, and we'd have a planetside directory twice as big.

It would never happen, and would be a loss for SOE - all because whiners can't adapt and learn how to use tactics.

BFR's aren't a threat, they're just heavy tanks, they're only a pain in the arse if there is a group of them. Every squad should be mobile, and if you're mobile, you should be able to easily avoid groups of BFR's, denying them the fun of killing you, giving you the thrill of the chase, and the chance to change the tide of battle.

Edit - I voted yes just for you

Freedom of speech 'n all, but why make suggestions for something that simply wont be supported by the development team?

More likely is more buffs and nerfs to help "balance" the game in favour of non-BFR's and maybe even making vehicle varients that combat BFR's specifically.

As for server, one last final merge is probably whats in store for us all.
Not good news for us brits, and not just because us limeys are born to hate every countryman that is not english, but because not everyone has 1mb + BB connections and will receive around 300 odd ping.

On the flip side, apparently the americans servers are still popping a cont on most nights, so maybe we could get it back to what it was like back in the ol' days, when this were all fields...

Probably wouldn't be possible. Besides, you'd then have people making stupid suggestions like a "pre-surge nerf" server.

I've never played PlanetSide on a 56k modem but I can imagine it being hell no matter which server you play on. As for Broadband, I could happily play on Emerald and Markov on 512k.

I haven't played PlanetSide in awhile, but isn't that EXACTLY what the caves are?

I agree, its part of the game, so just live with it

also this idea cant/wont work. Remeber when SOE got rid of Johari and Konreid (sp?), they did that because of a low pop. if you were to make a server only for bfrs, you would decrease the player base on each server, leading to only one very large battle a night. It would make PS boring.
