Is this game truly dead?

[Corphennicous]

Do you guys want to know why this game will be dead soon? Because the performance of this game is terrible especially in heavy fights. And, Wrel is gone off so yeah. R I P.

Like how many :ps2: players from ukraine/russia would be playing right now if they could?

I remember just as everything began and PS2 executives/devs openly supported one side of the conflict by adding 1 cert flag into the game, everyone began wearing it on camos etc etc. At first nobody cared, big deal, but over the time the amount of harrassment and rusophobia towards russian players has reached all time high, and im not talking about trash talking, im talking about excessive amount of teamkilling, ddosing teamspeak servers, raiding discords of the outfits, kicking russians out of other outfits just for being russians.
There were outfits specifically made on miller just to teamkill russian outfits on spot, for months and months. One of the outfit leaders i had good relations with told me it was just impossible to play because people were tracking them down just to ruin the game even when their outfit members left. So Russians decided naah mate we are done here. Thus the majority left to play BF or whatever there was that offered a solid gameplay.

As for Ukraininans, i don't know, but i did notice how in Mordhau for example their numbers have dwindled down significantly, same on Destiny 2 and DRG. I don't wanna assume but i bet it has something to do with drafting and/or fleeing to Europe leaving their PCs behind.

I know it sounds hurtful but this game will eventually end its cycle. There's a higher probability it will come to an end by year 2025. However, there's still a glimpse of hope changing its destiny if only the devs make this game more reliable, more stable performance, new weapons, new vehicles, new faction, new maps, and others you name it.

Which won't happen since EG7 announced maintenance mode for it - they won't shut down the servers but active development stopped

...I mean... if a game exists, it doesn't mean you need to have any sort of interaction with the game and its playerbase. The "dedness" is obvious at this rate, so why insisting on saying the same thing but with different words? There is "saying the truth", and there is "saying the same thing over and over again, despise not having anyone trying to counterrefute the exposed facts about the game". And the latter does give a negative appeal about your proposals and ideas.

tl;dr: Yes, we get it. The game is dead. Just move on.

That tells us everything we need to know about you. Doomers trying so hard to be relevant, damn.

And how is Planetside 2 any more relevant? The game barely has a playerbase to begin with. Vanu has been overpowered for years now.

I hopped in for some fun but I have to say this game is severely broken.

If you don't buy/have the most overpowered equipment unlocked your basically screwed because skill/strategy means nothing in this game when the other player just 1 shots you with overpowered equipment in a same class. Just pay to win game that could have been way better, not worth the investment/time - far too cheesy/unrewarding when PVP mechanics are so poorly managed.

This game has a lot of potential if they're willing to scale back the overpowered equipment and put everything on a smaller damage scale, but something tells me $$$ they won't.

the only thing ptw is the implants you can get with a bundle other than that most weapons are copy/paste skins. you can earn most weapons with ingame currency

Honestly, do you really think you'd be that much better with tons of cash shop gear?

This game is pretty balanced on that end.

Honestly, it's kinda disappointing how little pay to win there is for this game. Or really, how little there is anything worth buying in the cash shop.

Definitely makes you feel like you'd be better with pay to win, sure, but that's where it ends. Go buy some, and then realize that you are dying at basically the same rate.

The skilled players have an edge, and that edge gives them certs faster, whether they pay or not. Being a squad leader or platoon leader will give you certs faster. Having a full outfit of skilled players is further still a huge edge that will give you certs faster. And being on the winning side of an alert will give you certs faster.

Don't forget that this game is flooded with Asian cheaters in Soltech Server. I experienced that most of the time during my play time. I reported their account names to the devs thrice in a row yet they weren't banned and still continuing to destroy everyone's game experience. Also, the performance of this game is trash. That's all I can tell you mate. Better play other games than this garbage.

Isn't the soltech server the "asia" server? If asians want to cheat on the asian server, that's their call, right? Not sure why my opinion of how they should run their server should matter.

Anywho, sounds like you don't like this game and don't want to play it. Enough said.

But you're here, telling others not to play... Why? I mean, wouldn't it be better for you to leave and not look back at the burning dumpster fire of this game? Is it about being acknowledged as right? Or something else?

If I had the problems you reported, I'd leave and not come back. I might go that route anyway, we'll see. But I'll stop posting here when I leave.

This game won't even get a sequel, simply because this game wouldn't even exist if Sony didn't sell the IP.

Dunno, kinda think this game needs "brand" work if they want a sequel.

I mean, it's pretty old, yet it's labeled as a sequel. But who actually remembers the original? I think I played it once....hyper generic shooter. Tribes was more memorable.

And what's with the name? There's no planet in this game. In "planetside" our planet is flat and rectangle... there's nothing spherical about these maps. And you can't dig, only build on top of what's already there....and there's no space, just sky.

I get that it's a battlefield bigger than most, and that's cool, but the name doesn't really match the game. Don't really see what the point of a sequel would be. "Confusing game name number 3"?

And on top of that, every time I do a search for anything, I, of course, get the much more popular playstation 2. There's not even good brand awareness for this game.

And do any of the game elements seem overly unique to this game? Sure don't for me. Is this game even copyright-able?

I think the only realistic future for would be if they got permission to make this game again with someone else's IP and released the game under a new name.

or rather daybreak, has proven, in my opinion, to be able to manage a mostly balanced shooter online game that is freemium/pay to play. There's where this game's strengths are. They just need an IP that draws people in. doesn't.

Planetside = On the surface of a planet, not referting to the maps but the game's story

Pretty generic, right? And since there's no space combat component, it's kinda meaningless given that almost every other game is planetside too.

...counterstrike is planetside, call of duty is planetside, supermario is planetside....I could go on. Very few non-planetside games if distinguishing between battlefields as on planet surface and off...

Not really much of game title. Doesn't really give the game any direction other than a "no space combat" directive.

PS: since the other quote isn't here, for clarity, I'm commenting about why I don't think a sequel will come to this game, not suggesting that these factors would stop people from playing the game now.
