Posted from the PS2 forum not the general SOE forum as its mostly PS2 people.

Game is officially dead in the water. Today we announced a reduction in our workforce at SOE. As a company, our goal is to focus on our core expertise of MMO games and as part of these efforts, we had to make the difficult decision to eliminate positions to help reduce costs, streamline our...

There is a Weapon cert line that adds ammo to the magazine. Increase it to 13 I think is the best bang for the buck. Also pickup thermal vision and get your ammo up. Nothing sucks more than finally getting into that techplant scoring 40 kills in 15mins only to be bone dry on ammo.

I don't have too much experience with Waterson TR as I tend to just play with NUC in ops and fly outside of ops with friends. ODAM - Stay away. This is the large zerg outfit on TR and they consist mainly of bad new players. Most ofmy deaths from teamtates outside of battles comes from ODAM...

Heres to hoping they can get the Battle Island out before October. I'm worried they will finally give us some competitive contnt, then either never give the Liberator some love this year, or nerf how its currently used (ie Dalton is no longer a OHK against ESF). Either scenario will cause me to...

My new character is Exc1d1umTRhttps://players.planetside2.com/#!/5428061686734723537 If it wsn't for OPS and NUC I would have quit when I was 92 on my VS character back in April. I'm just having massive flashbacks from EQ when we were promised stuff from the devs and it never materialized. This...

Oh I rolled TR the moment they announced the ESL into this game. I was always flying in this game and rememb the Annihilator pre-nerf. Atleast back then we could cause the rockets to hit trees and mountains by flying low. Then they made the damage binary and only flares could stop it. A few...

You don't honestly think that Higby has any idea what he is doing do you? I'm in NUC and have heard our leaders tell us about all the stuff that is coming to PS2. We were suppose to be beta testing Battle Islands 3 weeks ago. Didn't get that. Never believe anything that comes from the Devs in...

The only real way to enjoy Planetside 2 right now is to beat people so bad in the game they quit playing the game all together. There are two great ways to accomplish this with one requiring low certs and skill, and the other requiring bucketloads of certs and some amazing skills. I'm TR and...

What faction do you play for on Waterson? If so you can try out my fully loaded VS or TR mario karts. For TR always use vulcan for armor and the marauder for infantry. For VS use the Saron for everything. The king of the harasser right now on Waterson is Mercid. He uses the marauder...

Having 1000 players in a game without instances is a more meaningful stat compared to 2k players in an instanced world. Just ask the raid scene if they need more raiders.

A great gun for TR engineers is the Jag. For the medic the most popular weapon is the Tar. For farming, a Marauder Harasser is good xp too. If you have 2 people and 13k each, running a liebrator crew that can shoot down ESF and Liberators is by far my best farming too. Insanely high skill...

I just fired this back up and I'm looking for some people to play with. I'm a Level 5 bard.

Do you not think EQ was a complete faceroll too? I 6 boxed on the progression with some simple software and it took less attention and effort than it took to heal 25 man Lich King controlling a single character. Really wish people would put down their rose coloured glass. I don't remember wiping...

Valve showed us how TF2 can go to F2P and not affect the outcome of the gameplay. SoE and EA take it to another level. I play in one of PS2's top outfits and a large portion of us won't pay for another weapon even if we are told to do so to gain the competitive edge. I rather cause 10 players...

I'm more worried about their monetary system they implement. Nothing kills a game more than the F2P model that isn't superficial cosmetics or character slots/bank space quality of life upgrades. If they add XP potions or a system where paying helps you progress faster, this game will be another...

AMD CPUs have been know to run like garbage in Planetside 2. PS2 is so heavily CPU bound its almost comincal. I have an i7 3770k and 2 gtx 670s and I drop to 45-55fps in large battles (around 60-80 people) and 35-45 in massive battles (100+). This whole time my CPU is 30% utilized and both GPUs...

Planetside 2 can get pretty dark at night in some areas if that's any indication of what EQN might use. Sadly it will look and run like garbage anyways because its still an old DX9 game that is only single threaded.

There are no box sales for PS2 or EQN. I'm not including the subscription price in my estimates. How many weapons have we bought that were added after our last weapon we bought was nerfed? This new weapon is clearly OP and will remain that way until enough F2P players complain about how bad they...

Planetside 2 is showing the true colours of SoE when it comes to taking advantage of players and their money. There is not a single person I have met that we play with that hasn't dumped more than $60 bones into that game. Most players are sitting around the $140-$300 Mark. And if you aren't...

Eve is awesome to read about, awful to actually play. When I watched a huge raid, all I saw was who massed the larger force (RTS) and out zerged their enemy (RTS). Shares more in common with an old game called 10six than it does with Everquest. Shadowbane is Dead. UO came out 5 years earlier...

Why do you assume I want a dumbed-down game? You clearly are passionate on grieving players or your wouldn't start talking nonsense about stuff I never brought up. I had no problems with competition in Arenas or Battlegrounds in PVP. My problem comes from players who use their advantage in gear...

Both games never did well financially and EVE isn't an MMORPG. So no, they were failures.

So its up the the person grieving the dead player to make the call if the dead player gets to play. You sure are twisted and I now assume you were bullied your whole life and want to take out your aggression on other players by grieving them. We always laughed at the cretins on the EQ PVP...

World PVP where you can gank and corpse camp is only fun to those who love wrecking peoples day. Its one thing in a game that is only PVP, but PVE mmos (and even PVP ones too) have no room for that kind of BS. I would say I'm the ultimate troll in Planetside 2, but see not benefit to the...

I love how P99 staff gloat that they got Platlord's accounts banned. Instantly DDOS attacks start and duping is now confirmed. The more you try and fight RMT using 'War on Drugs' approach, the worse it gets for all other players. Honestly I don't think people would buy plat if more content...

Felt the same about EQ2. I was unlucky when WoW launched because there were no more boxes for sale even though I was in beta. Decided I should give EQ2 a go around after quitting EQ in the summer of 2004. The moment I got to qeynos and started to level outside the city I questioned my existence...

I always looked back at my EQ and WoW periods and I can't remember much from WoW but remember everything from EQ. Its amazing how little of my memories were positive. It sucks, but Bind on Pickup/No Drop and instances removed these peoples ability to be utter douchbags that affects the quality...

Nothing like rocking out to 'The Pot' either.

Hows the combat? I think the worst thing about MMOs is how disconnected and bloated the combat is with hotbars galore.

I have a Beta Key but was unable to make it to those short betas. What is the consensus about trying this in OB or maybe even launch. Is there any potential to get more than a month out of it before falling into the WoW Grind? And if so, do characters progress other than gear and levels. What...

His the reason a modern day EQ would tank. He was so selfish with content. Has the social skills of a rock and the personality of white latex paint. The guild bank had tons of AoW loot, and I mean a ton. Id say 8-9 extra BoC's Floating around and legs/masks/helms for any alt that even...

I was in Echoes of Elysium on Vulak. I quit because I really was sick of poopsocking every damn mob. When Luclin rolled around we had every single mob that dropped Orbs for VT keys on lock. Ssra and VT were ours. And we still dropped Vulak, All of Kael, CT and World Dragons the moment they...

Boxing ruined Everquest's Economy more than RMT ever did. I think I had around 3 million platinum in 2004 by 6 boxing Halls of Testing quest tears and selling the MQ. I didn't have to split the plat with any person and could control the spawn timer for a month. Combat that requires constant...

You didn't just try and say AO was a competitor to EQ did you? That game never made it past the first month because of how bad the launch was. Graphics matter to some people and both UO and Meridian just didn't have the graphical flare the masses wanted and EQ delivered.

If it wasn't for new new XCOM unknown enemy, I'd have given up on all developers if it sucked. Its good to see people make games from other genres than First Person Shooters and MMOs. We need PC gaming to head back to its roots. I'd kill for a modern Quake that is multiplayer only that is...

Looking to try P99 since it launched and I was wondering what classes seem to be rare and in demand. Mainly looking at either an SK or Bard, but would play monk/rogue or a caster. I assume clerics are in demand too. I don't plan to taking raiding seriously, just want to get some good ol fashion...

Ever since the Magrider nerf, Waterson's VS warpgate has been pretty devoid of retard children spamming proximity chat. Sadly Id take the 8% increase in population and the spam over being constantly outnumbered by both factions.

Luclin had the enhanced texture packages with helms. I never transfer over to Luclin models because the velious textures only worked on classic models.
