Getting boring?

Beerbeer · 2012-12-01, 01:16 AM

I'm getting bored. The MMO aspect is nice, but what keeps me coming back is trying to kill good people and I'm finding that they are hard to find.

Maybe I started on the wrong server, and maybe these good people are too spread out, I don't know.

That's my hook and I can't find it.

As of right now there isn't much replay value unless you're playing with friends. Hopefully they add more meaning to resources and bases soon.

There needs to be server transfers. I started a TR account on the Helios server without realizing it. And when I found out that most of the fights are on the Mattherson server I was mighty pissed. Especially since I have spent 20 bucks on it and there's no way to get out. What was SOE thinking? Were they?

Not so much bored as tried of certain mechanics.

I'm tired of Sunderers, tired of driving them, riding in them, shoot their shitty guns, deploying at them, destroying them, getting run over by them, just everything about them. I see them in my sleep and wake up yawning.

I wish the entire game didn't revolve around them.

I want to transfer my main nc guy to matherson, too. Connery is boring, it's too easy.

I want to run into people that just own me, constantly. Connery has zero of that unfortunately.

I am.

It seems to be a lot of
a) roll up with your outfit to a base, cap it with no or little resistance
b) get caught up in a traffic jam
c) goto a:

The fights are short, usually, and any that lasts more than 5 minutes are the exception. Now that we know how to break the tech plant defence even they are becoming less interesting.

AMP stations are a little annoying with all that running between gens.

Here's your remedy, start lone wolfing for a change and give yourself a challenge. That's what I do whenever I've had enough of repetitive outfit play.

Yes. I'm bored that I don't get enough free time to log in and play.

Sundy riding and traffic jam ? Never heard of them. Finish the fight, redeploy and spawn at the next battle, or take a leak waiting for one.

I might get bored with the game when I can get my hands on every shiny guns in the shop (30 min isn't enough), which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I do get bored quite easily lately.

We still have the situation where it's the same old same old. Cap a base, move on, cap another. The last base but one that you capped has been recaptured, never mind, it doesn't matter. Zerg on to the next base.

I guess it will feel this way until there are enough continents for global strategy to develop and matter.

I love the gunplay in Planetside 2, but the gameplay is "meh" if I try to play for too long. I always end up looking at the map and thinking "why are we doing this?"

Planetside 2 feels like one giant perpetual Planetside 1 Interfarm at the moment unless I play it in short stints and play something else inbetween.

I was playing with a freind last night and we had four hours of rediculous fighting on connery. Of course we always went to where the fighting was at. We also used every class and drove every vehicle. I had a bunch of fun.

The fact that a few people are bored of this in 2 weeks confuses me.

Like, how do you guys stay interested in COD#12321132 or BF1232313 ?

If everybody moved to Mattherson, the complaint of the week will be "the queues are too long, what were they thinking, this game is the worst game ever".

I haven't even started recruiting for my outfit yet.

I have only joined a few squads.

Have been just lone wolfing it.

Haven't got bored. My only complaint is that the servers are laggy at times, there are tons of foreigners playing on the US servers, and the render distance and speed that people render is a joke at times.

I also think there are bugs with capturing territory, or exploits, because I have seen some wacky things. Like instaneous captures in parts of the maps that havent seen links to it in hours. I even yelled at SOE because I figured it must be a developer doing it messing with overpopulated factions. Or the map is not updating correctly.

My jetpack stops working sometimes.
My FPS drops to 45 in large battles.
My graphics flickers causing me to restart.

I run into hackers here and there.

Other then that enjoying myself a ton. I can't wait to see what comes next as far as continents, features, weapons, vehicles, etc.
