yeah good for him

[Foxtrot39]

The big question is who's gonna replace him and if its gonna be better or worse in the game direction

[RaymontP]

Love it or hate it : he still managed to make a second life to a game a decade old.
Now...considering that we're going back to a downfall of population, I am unsure we will get major update.

..And I am not enjoying that perspective.

He turned around a game that was in the maintenance mode for years, created a self-sustaining small scale team dev team out of literally nothing and made sure the playerbase kept coming back for more.

You might like or dislike his decisions, but this game only exists right now because of his will to take charge of a decade old game that is made out of spagetti and glue. No modern dev would EVER work for Planetside 2. Waste of time and your skills to do so while ever other companies are looking for devs 24/7 with better pay, while all being future proof.

People in the comments are just too much of a dent to understand this simple thing. This is a colossal loss for Planetside 2.

I am glad you went off, Wrel, these people don't deserve you. Best of your luck in your future.

He said they still had a roadmap on the inside as a dev...

Honestly he should have just abruptly pulled the plug and told the lot of you to eat dirt. The guy took a game that was dead in the water and turned it around but because he didn't cater every aspect of the game to the personal conflicting tastes and wants of every little snot nosed crybaby stamping their feet, y'all spent years harassing the guy.

Y'all don't deserve to have Planetside to be quite honest lol

[Da Silliest Yodie]

hopefully the new devs won't implement stupid ♥♥♥♥ like the Helios

[Wanderer]

I'll do it for free

Why do people keep acting like Wrel singlehandedly saved Planetside? The game lost about 2000 players on average since he took over. That may not sound like a lot, but it was about 50% of the player base. https://steamcharts.com/app/218230#All

Whether that was his fault or not would require a lot more data collection. Maybe the game would have lost those players anyway, or maybe it would have gained some. We dont really know. What we do know is that the game was better off before rather than after.

Well, your punching dummy for everything wrong with the game is gone. Now what are you gonna do?
