If SOE told you these things about PS2 Months ago...

[Tigersmith]

People are up in arms about many of the new changes to the game. As I agree with some people on these issues, lets look at the larger set of ideas.

To be honest the way Planetside 2 Sounds right now, it does not sound like any game I know of. People say its gonna be exactly like Battlefield and CoD.

There is alot of new stuff to look forward in this game. No need to really big negative right now. Let things unfold.

Look at this List Below. Tell me If you told anyone these features...would they be excited or what! They have a class system for a reason. BALANCE. And im all for that.

• Territory Conquest
• Time Based Unlock System
• Resource System (A actual reason to fight!)
• 2000 Players fighting at one time (Unreal.)
• Mission System
• Outfit Bases
• Full customization on weapons and vehicles..ect
• 40 Player Platoons
• Weather Actually Effects Gameplay (Hide full gals in clouds...whatt?)
• Full Day and Night Cycles with Dynamic Lighting. (Its what we always wanted in Planetside 1 )

I don't know about you. But ill take a class system so we can have all of these amazing things Above ^^


But the Question is if SOE told us about these features months ago..what would you think?

-Be sure to vote above ^^ or please respond below

class system still shatters it with a fucking sledgehammer attatched to a tank.

it ruins the entire concept with one of these, IMO.

As I agree somewhat as I like being EXTREMELY versatile in Planetside 1. You can do everything at basically whatever time you want to.

And im sure this is exactly why people don't like the class system. They dont have the chance to snipe, kill aircraft, close combat, and maxes all at the same time lol.

You need to look at it from a bigger perspective. Players need some sort of direction.(We may not want it this way, but for new players they do.)

In Planetside 1 there was no direct path for players to follow. It was 100% freeform. Start and get whatever you want to get. Im sure for many players (Not us vets) it led to confusion.

If SOE wants a lot of players to play this game, make it easier to get into. And this is the simplest way. (And I know many of us here will never really enjoy the class system, my suggestion to you...Just wait for the game to release and see how the classes actually work. - This is what im exactly doing. )

And you're an idiot. Thats what makes planetside... planetside, IMO. If this is how it is, it makes my descision for me. I'll stick with PS1. New players can be tutored and helped, if they're not braindead zombies who love WoW.

You think I want the Class System?

Well let me tell you I don't..Im trying to understand it better before I go ahead and fully say I hate it. And no crap it makes Planetside...planetside. Only been playing for 8 years.

The difference between me and you is im willing to be patient and see how the class system works in the game. Its been almost 10 years since the game came out...some change is needed.

I think thank whoever is making PS2 should keep the certain tree so people can specialize in whatever they want. If there are classes in PS2 like in battlefield or call of duty it will completely throw off Planetside entirely. A community of Players are what make the game what it is. Games nowadays guide players to on how to play as a medic or an engineer by using a class system planetside allows you to make use of whatever you decide to make use of. The point is planetside 2 should strive to be like no other game, so why would they introduce classes.

I agree, for SOE it sounds like to big of a risk to do the same cert system in Planetside 1. Like it or not, this class system is being made for the casual player.

If you can't make a point without calling someone an idiot it's probably best to not reply. Please keep the thread on topic, and don't call people names to get your point across.

We need constructive conversation, not name calling and swear laced posts.

pretty much all ive got to say is in the screenshots.

Since This is is how it is, then it has made your decision for you.

Here's a link to the planetside 1 discussion boards just in case u somehow get lost and post here again. which I don't understand why you would since your not going to play the game and I would hate for you to attempt to contribute your completely useless opinion on a game that, again, you refuse to play.

Fucking Jackass.

Well it looks like planetside 2 in just going to be another mainstream game, like Bad Company 2 and CoD. If I wanted to play a "casual" game then I'd play those, but I want to play planetside, the most epic fight in the universe. Adding mainstream things into a one of a kind game defeats the purpose of Planetside. Planetside is not made for the "casual" gamer, it's made for people who want to move at there own pace and be apart of a community that wasn't created in matchmaking.

I feel like the definition of casual is moving at your own pace.

If SOE had told us this months ago, I would still say "Play the game first before judging it".
