How is Planetside doing?

noxious · 2003-12-21, 02:34 AM

I quit playing just after CC was released and I'm contemplating returning. I want to know how weather or not you think Planetside is better or worse now than it was then.
I know there have been quite a few changes as of late so I'm curious how some people who still play think they've effect the game as a whole.

I'm looking for constructive input here, reply with something relevent or pass over it, I don't care if you think something similar has been posted before or what not, if you ignore it, it'll die that much sooner.

Thank you for any replies,

Moving to game discussion where it will get more attention

Well, for me at least, loading times were at least quadrupled. FPS hasn't changed much (for me still). I still get that fucking annoying FPS drop in empty bases. Doesn't crash as much. Lodestar is fun. The Mag and Thresher have more breaks now. Mods are somewhat worth getting. The re-certification made a lot of changes to vehicles, now more people have em. Some awsome new "In Concepts."

I think its gotten much MUCH better, especially since release. Since CC there have been many changes as well - my FPS has been stable. But that remains different for everyone. All depends on your configuration.

its gotten beter a few times a week scence CC came out and its bugs were(mostly) fixed. It gets all the Dev attention right now, they even gave us hats(to keep us warm) and lights (to make us cheery!)

Show me some proof of it losing members, all speculation

I suspect since the merge, and with the promotions they are gaining members now.

i just came back to ps from being gone for 2 months and it is much better. the server merge was a really good idea. there are now hotspots on more than one cont and the battles are really big.

I dunno about that... the only reason i started playing is cause of the whole free trial/month thing. Money is tight around this time and i wasnt about to go drop some bills on a new game if i really did not NEED it... though i thought about it often. It's hard to resist a game you get to DL for free.

I've tried to even coax some friends/co-workers into playing it and for them to stop playing SWG.

You seem to be missing some vowels sir, can I interest you in some A's, E's, I's, O's and U's?
A couple of consonants are missing as well, but I won't have those in stock until next week.
