Its not that we dismiss games because they are browser base.. we dismiss them for that little button there on the bottom right of that pic.. the one called "shop"....

Nice big patch notes.

Sadly the game still lacks "something".

 

Open world pvp xp and the medals to buy pvp gear.. and i would have stuck with it more then three weeks.

I thought the arena were boring and just practice for the real open world "in the big city" pvp...

Im totally against arena on a pvp server that give xp and gear.  In this game, its the only place you can get the gear. Doesnt matter, its too late droves have left... screw em.

That's certainly a possibility. Perhaps the game has been in development for a good long time already.

But, if SOE's track record (and you should ALWAYS take SOE's track record into account), and the cheesy in game model renders Smed was posting says anything about i, the game has only started development recently.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

(mod edit)

 

Wardrop, I'm not trying to pick on you, as you bring up a valid point, but this is SOE we're talking about. All bets are off with them.

 

Agreed.

They are doing it wrong.

F2P is supposed to be an ala cart form of payment

you pay for the features/play that you want.

They can should give a little more with the current free form...like atg's and more infanty access options

but offer campaign upgrades for extra money.

Each campaign you can pay an extra $5 to get access to tanks 1 & 2, $5 more for rest of tank tiers

Same goes for Air.   $5 for tier 1 and 2, $5 for rest

and $5 for access to all infantry atg/aa tiers

This way people pay just for thier style of play, heck if they decide to get everything they would have paid $25

and would start over each campaign.

That's a f2p model

they are offering too little for a f2p model right now.

Yea over here in the states... its a death sentence for a game, cause we dont do ftp cash shops. they come here then vanish from the radar. we are a subscription based market. The games like DDO and LOTRO do well cause you can play the whole game for free by just playing it and get all the content thats in the cash shop, by themselves. If they want to get  full blown packages chalked full of content, its a one time fee like buying an expansion pack, not paying for it only to have it go away after a period of time. And the price of these packs is well within the budget of the normal gamer is this day and age with the economy the way it is.. or as i stated you can play the game as intended and get these packs through play as entended. Choice is yours.

This games already in the grave, has been for sometime hence they charge $2.00 more a month then the premium games on the market.. its frowned upon, and the game gets passed over.

Ive tried to get clan mates to play but when they get the sub cost, they pass it over with the comment " Aint paying that much for a mmo, especially one as old as this." Then we load up call of duty or battlefield badcompany 2 and go out together and have a good time.

Good to hear that Planetside 2 will be released, the pop is really low currently. Besides that Battleground Europe: ww2online went f2p which has a similar concept without any ingame shop.  I wished Planetside 2 would offer to concquer a whole map and not just bases and zones. Anyway, since this year some kind of Planetside clone went f2p aswell called Mars War..but an ingame shop is what drives me away a bit.

Lets see how Planetside 2 will look like...

Battleground europe is not free to play where did you get that from....

Yea its the WOW bg style.. And everyone knows what happened to open world pvp when a game includeds bg's on pvper servers where you can get the same items and awards as open world pvp.. no one rvr's or open world pvps.. then when they do finally do it, they are useless at it cause they learned to play in a tiny box where everything  is predictable.. and those of us that rvr or open world pvp, had quit the game long before those arena kittens came out to play so..

ROFL, you want better rewards for open world pvp ? What for ? For the ussual ganbag 10 vs 1 ? Ridiculous !

 

so its cool that you run a flag in a little arena and get the same rewards while i have to wade through the unpredictable.. to get mine ridiculous! hell most times you can just que up and sit there and still get paid... ridiculous indeed.

Great preview. You hit it right on the head .. As for a review ill take this preview in its place. No need to pussy foot around the truth it is what it is. More gbaming sites need to justy be blunt and frank with its readers. LOOK OUT FOR US.

Too many times i read " its an indie dev team" That doesnt pass the smell test.. i see indie developers putting out some pretty sweet titles. Then there are developers that go past thier means and thier capabilities. Lets not make excuses for these teams. Im sick of seeing fellow gamers fall into the later category. Hay news flash, these dev  teams that put out shit games, dont give a shit about you plain and simple. They only care about ther fat $ in thier eyes thats blinding them.

Remember gamers a turd is a turd. Sure the guy that laid it may be a novice and may not be sitting on a Golden throne, but in the end wtf does it matter its still a turd. Nothing you can say will change that fact. I feel this way about it, if you enjoy getting shit on your hands cause you decided to pick it up and play it well its on you not me.  I will be laughing at you.

Radar - yes they are, but unfortunately its not getting much hype. 

Of course it doesn't help that MMORPG.com isnt giving it its own section even - they just keep tagging this under the old Planetside game link instead of doing it justice and giving it is own rightful section amongst the gaming list.

Have to completely disagree with that.  There have been a ton of articles on the game on this site, and the LAST thing the game needs is another section, people so rarely post in game forums as it is.

It is basically the same game anyways, they are just redoing it to modernize it some.

Your making a damn guess, there isnt anything released backing up your " redoing it to modernize it some" claim.

Very sexy!!!

Id like to see a gameplay vid and a beta invite in my mail... hell i still have the pre beta cd's they sent to the testers on the first Planetside!

I can not wait... i love the die cast metal skins on these aircraft. I cant wait to see a trooper model.

Bravo! Now how are they going to deal with the pb proof hacks. Are they going to continue to use the dated frame rate stealer or use something more modern and secure?

Nice lmao!

Yea good revirews if looked at as a whole.

Classes broken, there are broken peices in every skill tree. Some you need to hit a few times but all repeatable.

PVP on the pvp server death and glory, is an absolute blast, its dirty pvp. Like it use to be a half a decade ago.

UI sucks, the targeting system blows, and is bugged. If you dont lock on things you wont do the full damage.. and it likes to stick to barrels and toons further out then the ones in front of your face.

PVP IS HEAVY GEAR BASED.. yes i said it.. pvp gear has hundreds and hundreds of tougness.  some one posted on the forums he had it up to 1600 -1800 tougness.

PVP IS ALSO VERY SKILLED BASED. Even though these kids have the big gear from playing safty pvp in arenas caping that flag... we who have been killing and scrapping in open world have been able to out play these noobs. cause we know how to pvp in a full city setting  not a small arena where you know what to expect everytime. but this will only last so long as these kids will get better and since there is no open world pvp rewards, except 145xp and 2 cokes for killing 5  people with in 5 lvls on me... sucks that an arena kiddie can safty pvp or afk in these arenas and even if he doesnt kill anyone, get 25-50 renown, and medals to  buy that pvp gear but me who has to wade through the jungle of the city to get my fat 145xp and 2 cokes gets nothing except the thrill of it..

yea what ever.. (super click the cancel button)

Its a month game.. so take it as such.

Is there respawning in this game or is it one life per match, if you die early you have to wait till the end of the match?

Loved planetside. hated core combat and the caves.. loved BFR's.

Hated the hackers and the way SOE abandoned the game.

Im sick to death of the same old combat mechanics in mmorpg's.. its been this way for over a decade...

im sick of sword and board.. i want a mmofps worth a damn with great development.

I will be there with a ton of my guildies.

looks sweet , i loved planetside, i hated the way sony dumbed it down and then abandoned it.

now planetside is full of hackers and low pops.. shame really.

I need a official mention about the pvp endgame content and how two factions and guilds within play a roll. Id like to buy the game,  But if its just silly warfronts, and  mindless  raids then i wont waste the cash.

Sure running all the way there kill a few people, run all the way back, its fun to dick around and do,  but not constantly.

If they say guilds of opposing factions can own a townstone then thats something to really  get excited about. i mean why would they have two factions? just to beable to say  we have two.. why not have one...

Opening rifts near enemy  player townstones yea thats cool the first few times you do it, but then its like  the rifts getting all the kills or, jeesh, that it its over? Or hay why open a rift, it just gives them xp and makes them more powerful faster.

Either way these beta events are great.

Yea the class building is very good,  having all the souls and being able to switch out one or all three depending on your situation. It has a 2 sec cool down or you can click and switch between  full sets of three youve setup earlier.

Its as easy as..  say i have bladedancer bard and ranger. I dont want to play as a bladedance, i click the bladedancer icon, and a little window opens with a list of souls i have saved and pop i click the one i want.. lets say i want sabatuer, so now i have sabatuer,  bard and riftstalker.

My personal concern is the end game open world pvp, how it will run, what it will be like. Will it be like a rvr setting? Will guilds own townstones? What point is there to doing it, from a guildstandpoint.. cause i hate small bg combat.. i can do that for free.

I want a war.
