News: Resolved - PS2 Region - Page 11

*sigh*

I thought it was all too good to be true.

The issue for me isnt so much that I cant play with my US friends (PS1 was only one of the games we played) but that the whole EU playerbase will be treated like second class citizens because everything from customer support to patches will be handled by pro7 rather than SOE, and will most likely be utter shit.

Also, the whole argument of "pro7 will be good for PS2 because of its ability to market/advertise" doesnt fly. Im a UK player and have NEVER heard of them in my life before now.

So if we cant do anything about it, what can we do about it?????? Know what I mean???????????????????

there must be something we can do about this, in one way or another?

Yeah, slip of the tongue there. Hopefully they won't do an IP check when downloading the game.

If there are 2 clients then it's easily done if there is no IP region checking.

You could go back to school and learn enough about computers to hack your way into SOE, then when you are arrested and extradited your story is bound to be picked up by the Daily Fail.

Long term goal setting, I grant you. But you seem the determined type.

WARROCK + NETLIMITER = FUN - YouTube

And that, boys and girls, is why Planetside 2 will have server-side hit detection. Becides, Warrock is a shitty game.

Well.

The Split is going to happen, no way to stop this. US players will use SOE accounts to play on US servers, EU players will use Pro7 accounts to play on EU servers.

Thats going to happen, nothing we can do to stop this now.

But if scenario doom happens, and we cannot play with each other at all, then we need to act. I want to spend my free days to play late night with my GOTR and AT buddys, and potentially stalk higby and arclegger to send lazers into their direction, or create a secret secred NC alt to play with them. Dont make it impossible to do just that.

We can do it. We have the technology (and this an NC player telling this to a Vanu

)

All the large outfits needs to publicly denounce Sony's decision and initiate boycott.

Once you start pulling 3,000 players (about 5 large clans), this may be significant enough.

I'm not renewing my Planetside 1 account.

Thank copyright and power mongering "anti-terrorism" lobbying for crap like this, which is clearly designed to facilitate surveillance by regional authority and curtail cross cultural uprising against the establishment. Don't think so? Keep up with news...

sylphaen · 2012-02-21, 05:51 PM

Wait until they have to localize and translate every fucking patch for distribution into European countries...

Euros will need to be patient.

Didnt they pull the exact same shit with WAR?

Alduron · 2012-02-21, 05:53 PM

While I'm not a fan of splitting the regions, it is kinda nice to have reduced pings across the board. :-p

It's been a while since I've been able to play with my UK friends with the time difference and all.

Other than that, it kinda seems like EU players are getting shafted.

this is true , its a shet game with tones of hackers..... but the players have the option to choose what server they want to play on. 90% of the players stick with their regional server.

besides you really want to play a modern fps with a high ping??????? this is not ps1 boys and girls. ttk is much faster and every milla second will count.

not sure about you, but i like to see whats shooting me before i die.
