Not going to pay, it was ruined when the hackers started coming out in numbers when open beta was announced for APBR.... i had fun while it lasted, but sadly... the maps were never balanced out and hackers just run unchecked doing thier business...




 




if only they had done shit that the community asked them to do.. FIX NETWORK AND HACKS, but thats never going to happen.. money talks and they want money over spending it...




 




Case and point.. charging a box version for a FREE GAME!



edit:

 


even the players who owned APB original got stuff out of it... but not much, i wish they would give us old school players permament premium and some access to other weapons for free instead of our generic weapons (and beta testers only got an emote and 1 shotgun that doesnt really do shit...)

Except planetside's liberators have been around longer than the Gunships xD


wait i thought the court ruled in interplays favor a few months back... meh wonder how they will go about this... are they going to make it a decent game or screw it over badly xD


 


guess we will see when Closed betas are going about :P


are any of you guys listening? They can post up unidentified gear onto the auction house, and identification scrolls along with it... they are trying to say that if a player purchases an UNIDENTIFIED ITEM they will have to pay real money for it for the price that the player sets then identify it, and if its not what they were priced to be or what it was supposed to be... then THATS GAMBLING

 

Remember Wirt? and the gambling system he had for in game gold.... its going to be exactly that with real money though on the auction house

Basically what they are saying is this...

 

Diablo 2 had Unidentified items, Players will post said Unidentified items up (that are high quality types of items) then players will use real money to purchase said item, then use a scroll to identify and then it turns out to be a piece  of shit item... thus it is know Gambling for items

 

As much as i like the diablo series, i completely hate the fact that we are adding a real money auction system, it really hurts and is just as bad as COD pulling a 15 bucks a month subscription to get little updates for their game... and shitty 17 dollar addons in the game....

 

companies seriously need to stop throwing shit into gamers faces, they think we are dumb... START VOTING WITH YOUR WALLETS FOLKS NOT YOUR FREAKING EGOS!

webcam + Videoscreen + you = Eve, Reality edition


 


remember folks, this eve avatar is playing you while your playing him... its a world of headsplosions!


eh, they snuck in a lot of sex scenes in the games... i mean come on there were porno scenes in it where women were tied down and some of them had their chests eaten out (you think that didnt bring any sort of flack into the game?) hell its in the beginning when your exploring the beach hotels..

 

this is just another thing they added and im betting the base model was fully nude and they forgot to add the panties underneath..

 

its easier to work with a full nude model then to create clothing that may not work correctly overtop when you are placing the bones into thebody and skinning the rig (means to make it bend and move correctly)

Chainmails are in opposite to what most MMO devs seems to think actually both heavier and harder to move in than a plate mail. In have been proved again and again (if you want to see an example, see when they test them against each other in “The deadliest warrior – Jeanne Dárc  Vs Wilhelm the Conqueror from a few weeks back).
 
Chainmail and platemail represent 2 different technologies and generally are chainmail primitive and offers a lot less protection. Platemail is a evolution of it that offers greatly improved protection and better movement. I own a chainmail myself and have tried out plate as well.
 
And yet in MMOs chainmail is a lighter armor often used by rogues or swashbucklers side by side with warriors using plate mail. It makes no sense whatsoever.
 
Sure, the Romans had both a breastplate and chainmail armors but the Roman breastplate were a lot more primitive than the 15- early 16th century plate armors that MMO plates are based on.
 
Why do some classes have acess to chain armor but not plate? It just makes no sense.

 

 

the answer is simple... look at LOTR, THEY USED MYTHRIL ARMOR!!!

 

ok joke aside, the best place for people to get an understanding of armor is to go back and play UO, armor was really balanced in that when you had heavier armored players they were slower and usually got around via a horse or teleports, the lighter armored players could run away if they wanted or try to fight and get man handled by the heavier armored foes

 

Vindictus allows anyone to access armor classes which is nice, but they are irrelevant if you want to play the correct path of the characters

 

Dungeons and dragons online allows anyone to access any type of armor and play, but then again they have the best setup becuase they damn well invented the RPG's out there.

 

truth is, i dont really understand why most mmo's develop a system where you can only equip and use specific things, but it could possibly be becuase of the sheer amount of coding that would go into the game and they want to make a specific Rock Paper Scissors approach to it instead of giving everyone a blank slate and say chissle your own path out of it.

I won't be buying the game expressly because of this. No need to feel sorry for me though, I won't be missing out on anything. There are other games that will do just fine as an alternative, specifically Torchlight 2. Considering that Torchlight 2 will have an offline mode, modding support, class diversity through skill choices, and best of all, no real money cash shop, it actually looks like it will be a better alternative for my tastes.

 

AMEN!!! Torchlight 2 for Multiplayer/offline play and more specifically... LAN NETWORK PLAYING WITHOUT FUCKING CONNECTION TO MAIN SERVER!

Whatever happened to good old days of pay once an get everything free after, it feels like all that was for old gamers like myself and many others before me have lost all hope in the industries...

 

children today want instant gratificiation and so they have to keep up with their demands and create less than par games and throw as many broken items into the game for them to purcahse to get an edge.... TF2, originally Team fortress was an excellent game, TF2 came about and i was happy for it... then items came into play and MONEY started taking over, it turned to shit in my eyes due to the pay to win concept, yes you can earn the items yourself but that is a time of 100 hours game play to get 1 item thats unique... literally i sat down and played for a week straight on friends server and basically once a week if you played constantly you would get an item.. which is bullshit

 

companies that want to constantly make money... ok i understand its a rough area since you have to look at the point of the designers (i am entering the field so i know more about it) they want to make the game great and awsome for the players, but the suits want to make the most money in the least amount of time possible so they turn the game that was originally a great concept into something once again that is SUB PAR of the original plan and throw in a Pay to WIN scheme for players out there to make the game bring in more money since players HATE LOSING so they WILL SPEND MONEY just to keep up with regular players..

 

it happens almost all the time now in all games, so whatever... what hope i had for games is dying, and i have a giant bill coming in at the end of my education to pay off, wonder where thats going to go if i decide to say fuck this industry and go back to stacking boxes onto trucks...

 

*sigh* like feels so sad right now... Blizzard has killed my hope in games, just because they are the GO TO model for every RTS, MMO, and Adventure game now a days.... much like HALO/GEARS are the games to follow for FPS's that involve HEALING over time instead of the genuine hard modes of not DYING and running for the medkit in the truck at the end of the world past 6 Barons of hell..

 

I foresee within the next two years, since thats average time for game development unless your going the extra AAA mile (which most places dont anymore) you will see all the games follow the concept of pay for content..

 

Steams got the bug for it now since Call of Duty has gone Pay to Play everything now, wish that didnt happen because i miss the old days of PC content being free... the days when Being a gamer meant something instead of being the person with the most money who can purchase the best shit and the extended limited edition body armor that gives you 2 more exclusive maps and weapons that no one can get unless they hack into the game files themselves and edit the registry...

 

but i should stop ranting.. its going to get me yelled and screamed at by all sorts of fans... i should just stay in my corner and sit there wiating for the industries to Revert back to the old days... alas that wil never happen

If you're just throwing money at the game, yeah it's great. If you're trying to sell anything yourself, you're not going to make much of everything. Which is the entire point, is that the gold farmers, hackers, and botters are the ones who truly profit from this system. The average gamer is still screwed no matter what.

 affordable items for cheap cheap prices? he dosnt sound screwed. he sounds like he's getting good gear for a good deal.

 

your point is playing the game not making a living off of it, right?

I prefer my old fashion fight and keep fighting till it drops, diablo was fun that way because the dungeons always changed... its just going to turn into a fucked up game in a fuck up company... so yeah.. no 60$ from me and no 60$ for any other game from them unless they GET THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR MONEY GRABBING ASSES!

Yeah... NOPE NOT BUYING IT, i've lost all hope in MMO games today... Even if Blizzards Diablo is an Server based client side.... oh wait thats diablo 2... diablo 3 is now only their side...

 

with the introduction of a system where they will use real money instead of in game money and then take more money from us for posting items in the auction house i feel like the gamers in general are only seen as money bags, todays economy has FUCKED US TO BEGIN WITH... how the hell are we going to be able to keep games like these around if they only want our money and dont give two shits about everyone else..

 

ive stop subscribing to games because i have no money to pay for them... id love to go back to RIFT and EVE and PLANETSIDE but unfortunately the amoutn of money im making here is limited and college BILLS are rising due to the UNITED STATES FUCKING UP AGAIN....

 

Blizzard really has sold out on us, its a wonder why the WoW community hasnt gone to shit... wait it has xD

 

anyways, my point being....

 

Thinking that real money will solve everything... Micro Transactions, no matter how you say it is PAY TO WIN no matter what, and since Blizzard has deemed Diablo 3 to be the next Pay to Win game... They will most certainly do that to the next MMO they are releasing... on top of Starcrafts next expansion costing another 60$ for a shitty campaign expansion and a reskin of the tech trees.... ok, now youve got my wallet... BULLSHIT You do, you've just angered me and caused me to see that you've literally only care about the $$$ more now than you have back in the original days of gaming when you asked only for our support.

 

*sigh* i know im going to take flak for this but whatever... hit me with your best shot, for i have no hope for anything in the gaming industry now (and im freaking entering it... god its depressing)

UO is getting old? Really? Wow... :P That title is an understatement... I tried playing UO a while back and, in my case at least, the game was neigh unplayable. Games from the current decade have spoiled me, I guess. Time for an Ultima 2.



 


Sir...you have no right to say your a gamer if your spoiled by new modern graphics... i still play Doom 1 because it was more challenging than most games out here, replenishing life, almost infinite ammo from never ending ammo boxes.... Least back then in those games you had to think... and let us not forget the ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN BATTLES!!!


 


I loved ultima online for the reason you had to literally think hard and keep trust to a minimum unless you know your friends very very well... that game was all about trust and politics much like eve today... if you died you lost everything including your ears, head, torso, arms, legs, and possibly your soulstone (i think that was added in later updates?)


 


I really miss the fun times i had with friends in it... and i missed calling GAURDS! in town when someone was threatening to kill me lol


 


anyways, if the free shards weren't so unpopulated i would go back to playing it again... but for now its just a memory to me... the subscription servers aren't a bad idea but im not about to go back to paying 15$ give or take for the game again... i cant really since College is sapping my money for living expenses


I would play world of tanks but i have to say i am very pissed that they treated their Alpha/Closed Beta testers like crap, we had so much feedback given to them and what do they do in exchange for it all? They rip our throats out and have us pay real money to set up a squad to play with friends and make us pay more to get what we spent nearly 500 hours to earn in the first place without any compensation...

 

I got aggiated to see that my Maus i had earned was gone and i had no compensation of Gold or EXP to get it back, i had to start from scratch again and what really got me to stop playing the game was the fact that they wanted nearly 90 USD to even get a starting setup going for players who actually liked the game...

 

90 USD for A TANK!!! and about 4k in GOLD.... mind you 90 USD would get me a year and a half subby in EVE if i wanted to...

 

badmove on their part.... just a bad move...

Do we still have a sanctuary? Or is it replaced with something else?

The sanctuaries and shuttle system do not exist in PlanetSide 2 since they slow down the gameplay. You will be able to spawn directly on squad mates based on skills, squad spawning can only happen outside since squad spawning actually drops a capsule from the sky. Additionally you will be able to spawn in Galaxies.


 


not a good thing to hear in my opinion... Bad company two memories are now coming through of this.... i enjoyed having sanctuary becuase it was a social hub for players and gave them a chance to cool off if they were pissed off in the game (where they could move to the simulator and just shoot stationary targets or practice in a vehicle they never used before)


 


this may change the feel of planetside for a lot of hardcore fans...


ozmodan, i believe its because Xbox requires you to pay per update for videogame releases and since CCP does massive updates almost each week that would lead to substantial costs


 


PS3 doesnt charge for updates and online subscriptions like xbox so that may be the appealing deal for releaseing this on ps3


 


personally i would rather see this on PC over the consoles since EVE is PC!

This will be a true masterpiece. Sony didn't do terrible in PS1 however AS and BFRs really hurt the game for us veterans as we lost a huge amount of player base. 




I hope they learn from their mistakes and when listening to the player base they use common sence and not try to make something so un balanced in an FPS it permently pushes players away.



 


 


Oh how right you are about the BFR's and the AS expansion, they really killed it for me but i did have a blast when it first came out with my brothers and friends... god i enjoyed the ground combat, kicked Battlefields ass at the time and was way ahead of any other game out there that supported 16v16 battles or less... then comes 64v64... what did everyone miss... fucking 500v500v500!!!! though most battles were 100v100v100 due to server stress but it used to go higher in its day.


 


most unbalanced issues in my opinion


 


Medium armor carrying two heavy weapons in a mosquito (screw the squito and just jump out while its a kamakazi, then  hit the ground running with a dual jackhammer/minigun combination)


 


cloakers armed with charge fire weapons (this kinda killed it for me, when they released that damn 1 shot kills all non heavy skined infantry it was like kissing your ass goodbye and the sniper then became irrelevant)


 


rockets through the building fired from a reaver, the biggest GLITCH THERE IS!!! most groups took advantage of it and used it to drastic effect against each other, but the buildings were becoming less and less effective when they updated the game and tried to fix it... basically a reaver would be able to ram into the building and fire all missiles and they would clip through the building and detonate inside at close range against the spawn tubes or anything else vital


 


i pray they make PS2 better, and not as shitty with their expansion choices.... VanuSoverienty and Terran Republic for the WIN!


 


New conglom... kiss my ass xD


there goes my next paycheck... again, full year subscript renewal along with the possabilitiy of getting a headstart on  a collection of 300 million isk for a month


I'm not a big fan of this, they put Spyware on my computer at one point with their god damn anti Piracy Installing Disc (SECUROM) when i bought Crysis 1, i refused to buy any games from them except through steam (becuase steam didnt have any of the spyware at the time) and now they are screwing me further by not letting me purchase Crysis 2 on steam?

 

Awesome... just awesome EA.. you've fucked yet ANOTHER COMMUNITY YOU BUILT IN 5 SECONDS FLAT!

 

im sick of EA and activision and all the other companies getting greedy for money and end up Fucking up gamers like us because they want us to go pay more [mod edit}

so in otherwords... FUCK YOU PC PLAYERS AND XBOX PLAYERS FUCK YOU....


 


thanks CCP
