ARGH, the pain fields are broken in the spawn tower at Easmir Munitions Corp. We know this is an exploit, but some vanu idiots still decide to sit there and spawn-kill everyone, all the while going "whats wrong guys? This is easy to beat, come on".
How is that even fun for anyone? Why do people HAVE to be idiots? All they have to do is walk away, but no. The internets drops everyones mentality to that of a 10 year old, it drives me mad!

Ok, done ranting now. Smed chimed in that they're working on it (good to see him playing haha), so there's that at least.

Until then, you can always let them cap then do it to them. Show them how fun it is and all.

I never understood why people bother trying to break a spawn camp. Just leave, they're stuck in there and will have to redeploy.

It's the fact that people spawn there over and over and over and feed them thousands and thousands of points in a very short period that they keep doing it. If everyone just said "Oh, they're spawn camping. Spawn at the sunderer/next base over instead and move on" nobody would bother doing it.

Ya, someone quickly pulled a sunderer up. The problem is, if enough people DO spawn at once, it's easy to overwhelm them with 1 gernade lob, so people try.

I find it hilarious when somebody, usually just one person, constantly spawns in over and over and I can rake up the points while they fruitlessly try to kill me. Nobody else even spawns, it's just this one or two guys who want revenge.

Dear Planetside 2...
Enough with the 1GB+ Patches/Updates that come out each day...
Sincerely My Australian Internet Cap...

I guess I am lucky to not have a download cap, but my download speed leaves a bit to be desired.  Averages about 45 minutes for a gig download assuming I am the only one on the network using it (350ish KBps).  Main reason I do my downloading overnight if I can, don't want to annoy the other people in the household.  By chance do you guys know of a bandwidth throttling program for personal use?

I hope that I will get better framerate sometime because playing with visible jerkyness vs playing it smooth is a world of difference.  Did managed to get some kills and assists in the couple hours I played.

Oh Download speed is okayish when its not capped but the moment my Cap is reached... Download speed goes to hell and stays there for the rest of the month... T_T

Hahaha... Be happy you aren't sporting 75kbs average download.

I wish they would fix up the elevators in the defensive towers outside the warp-gate.
They are all borked.  But it is great that they fixed up the turret animations, nothing like making a close target soil his armour when the cannon is able to fire at 90 deg. to the muzzle.  Nobody could tell if the cannon was manned or not.

Anyone else things expecting a release in one month its a total mistake?

Hard to say, things are starting to lock down fairly well. An extra month wouldn't hurt for sure, but assuming they get the last few Certs and the last continent out next week, we're getting close to feature complete. Stability has also been approving a lot.

[sluissa]

I think "official release" is going to be more of a formality. Practically all MMOs continue to get patches well after their initial release. And especially with a free to play game, you're not risking driving people off as much if it sucks at the beginning. It used to be "Well, I tried a subscription, but there were too many problems, I don't know if I"m willing to pay for another month just to see if they fixed it." Now it's just "Well, I tried at the beginning, but I don't have anything to lose giving it another try if they say they've fixed a lot."
