Hey great work. I know you’ve explained have a couple settings guides up. Can you explain how your graphics look muted but not grainy or pixelated? Looks like just less/low graphics without too much visual negativity. Like the walls are just solid gray instead of in-depth rendering or pixelated.

[@SasukeyoUchiha]

I dont play Infil myself, cause i lack the skill and never botherd getting into it. But please, The Infiltrator role is fine stop taking away Fun playstyles. What comes next? I mean the game is imbalanced in some ways, but that is the nature of the game its good as is. Also every op thing in PS also has big downside to it, too. Exccept Vanguards shields. Shields should slow the Tank slightly lol. I struggled against Infils, too but that was when I was playing alone and new to the game. There is always a play around for anything in PS. It is also not easy to get into that playstyle so you stealing that away from people is a Very Bad Idea imo. Same goes for discounts. It takes a lot of setting up with the risk of loosing the setup by destruction and possibly even real money to be able to use your favorite playstyle consistently. Imagine you want to play or train Air play for a couple of hours but cant because it is too expensive. For not experienced players it would be even worse.

[@ZealousVidya]

@@SasukeyoUchiha You could make a strong argument vehicle costs should be lowered if ASP/outfit discounts were like 2-5% each. 85 nanites instead of 350 is wild.

Why is your in game camouflage black

Hackers are not overblown. On Emerald at least. I've quit playing at least 2-3 times in the last month after a hacker would repeatedly kill me and everyone else in my faction.

[@redtsun67]

I don't understand how people can claim the hacker problem is "overblown" or "exaggerated" when it gets so bad sometimes that entire bases are dead. I was fighting at Grey Heron last week, and a hacker logged on and killed EVERYONE in the base. There were points greyed out because everyone died in the middle of capturing them, and no one could get back to the point because they would spawn in and instantly die. Another time I had a hacker following my platoon around in a flying MAX killing all of our spawns, vehicles, and of course, us. Even when we redeployed across the continent, he followed us to kill us. All it takes is one hacker to kill the vibe for the entire alert. People get killed a few times by a hacker and move fights. If the hacker follows them, they will just log off.

[@SasukeyoUchiha]

Every one in your Faction? If you had that many you should be able to overwhelm any Infiltrator eventually.

[@redtsun67]

@@SasukeyoUchiha generally hackers don't play infiltrator. They play MAX or Engineer. As MAX they fly around killing everyone with their arm weapons. As Engineer they sit underground at the edge of the map on a MANA turret, which has infinite ammo, and kill everyone with aimbot.

[@robertluong4652]

Hacker problem is not overblown. Ever since I came back for about two weeks, everyday during prime time there are hackers.

[@gw19344]

I disagree on the hacking issue. Like two months ago on Cobalt you could see a flying sunderer quite often. I remember a few evenings where I started playing and got killed multiple times by some hacker and logged off after 10 minutes. Even ended my membership. But since the merge I haven’t encountered any hackers so far, thanks devs!

[@nevantyr4581]

Time to renew the membership 🎉

[@Rei-internet-fox]

Yeah I quit playing some months ago too because every single night there'd be at least one flying sunderer shooting through walls, or a turret zooming around and knocking vehicles into the sky or something like that. I wanna know if they're completely gone because it just ruins the game for me.

[@lllhunterlll9644]

One random hacker is not a lot considering how small the player base is. People don’t catch on that you have like 1500 people playing and there’s one hacker on a server. A lot of people just suck and this game has a very high skill gap. Making people think there’s hackers. Out of the last two months I saw one legit hacker. Flying his ESF under the map and shooting people he was banned within the day.

[@Einxeld]

Bro disabling vehicles on the defending base is a cool idea but maybe sometimes allow them so it's possible to defend against armor spam?

[@exorias625]

they are trying in the best ways and thats what matters to me keep going toadman

[@Tyvern-c7q]

This game never dies! FOR THE EMPEROR! :D

[@redtsun67]

I think the new vehicle is going to behave similarly to the Prowler. You probably bring it to a fight, deploy it's tail weapon, and start shooting. That's probably how they're going to balance it; you won't be able to use it's tail weapon unless it's deployed, and you won't be able to deploy it inside certain areas. I'm also really excited to see what changes they are going to be bringing to the infiltrator class. Hoping for cloak nerfs across the board. Infiltrators should not be combat classes; they should be support classes, specialized in gathering intelligent and sabotage.

[@daanstrik4293]

No cloaks for snipers. No spotting for CQC Stalker cloak can remain as it is. Something like that I hope for.

[@MachinedFace88ttv]

HUGE recon nerf is needed

[@Lockdown22]

they're already like that though

[@drdidlmaus]

Last week i encountered a hacker but it got better already, few months ago there wasnt a single day without at least seeing one per day

[@miaobrunelle1673]

9:50 really agree with you there, outfits should only accept members manually not automatic

[@motokohammond4737]

Uuuuuggggghhhhhh I get so turned off of a video when someone mentions kills per minute. Planetside 2 players are so uniquely obsessed with this insanely niche number. If someone is a hardcore player, plays 6 hours + a day everyday, plays the map, but they also happen to play stalker infil, scouting for there team, relaying information to there allies over coms, then KPM is the least of there concern. It doesn't make them casual, it doesn't make them any less good at what they do. Planetside 2 is a combined arms game about taking territory and ultimately working as a larger force, KPM and KDR shouldn't be important, it doesn't show how well you can work as part of a team. It just effects how good you are at finding easy farms and wining 1 v 1 engagements.

[@Kna5041]

Hackers were out in full force yesterday after the streamer event on emerald. There were three of them on one faction flying around with mana turrets. Blasting through the map all headshots. Hopefully they take care of it because it doesn't feel good coming back after a year to see that.

[@Luk-Luking]

Woa! New vehicle looks awesome :) Thank you for the constructive video with great points.

[@whowhowhowhowhowho8139]

Why we can't have a Gundam tho...😢

[@0sba]

Personally I hope they move the bolts to engi instead of changing the cloaking mechanic. A timer before you can shoot seems like a bad fix, especially since cloaks are not actually invisible, just hard to see. A timer for when they have uncloaked before they can cloak again like with the wraith flash seems fair, though.

[@CryptoMiningTurtle]

Stalker cloaking needs to be gone. It has killed the game.

[@CryptoMiningTurtle]

You never have 100% complete invisible in a game every time someone has added it the game has doed

[@whomp9130]

@@CryptoMiningTurtle They aren't 100% invisible. You are just blind.

[@fffx2]

Infiltrator is an objective and assassination focused class. Not everything is KDA

[@Garlan4]

for me personaly, it's not the quantity of hackers. I dont find hackers very often in this game. What really kill my faith in this game is the response to the hacking problem: I think it was this summer when the "mana turret underground" glitch came back in the game since long time (please explain how these people can place a mana turret underground when if i try to place a motion detector inside a bush i get a message saying "object view is obstructed) and there was a guy doing exactly that. One day passed. Two days passed and he was still there. 4 days. an entire week, same guy still unbanned. THAT killed my faith. Not the guy himself, but the absolute lack of actions from the devs

[@Ethaniel_UK]

When is this update likely to happen? and is this update due for PC and or PS4

[@forsakensrb]

5:45 "I don't really thing it needs to get addressed" And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why it's a very bad idea to listen to what people who don't play FPS games have to say about changes about a problematic class in an FPS game. The fundamental lack of understanding of why the class is a problem does not reach these people's brains.

[@ZealousVidya]

You are either bad at the game or willfully ignorant of the fact infiltrator is functionally not an issue. Go on the fisu leaderboard and 95% of the time, 12/15 people will be heavy. How you can be so confidently wrong is baffling.

[@forsakensrb]

@ZealousVidya lmao Do you even know why heavy dominates the leaderboards and why skilled players prefer it? 100% sure you don't, because you don't understand why infiltrator is a problem and don't understand the game on a fundamental level. Expected as much but damn I also expected a better argument than a leaderboard lmfao

[@ZealousVidya]

@@forsakensrb Vets like Heavy because you can chain kill + having like 35% more HP is insane value. LA doesn't even have that much utility outside of controlled enviroments(jaeger) because in reality you can get to the same places with beacons/walljumps. a2g also issue. Infil is even more garbage. 900 HP, terrible weapons, delay before you can shoot. I can't see any good reason to claim to class is overpowered and it's why zero skilled players besides the occasionally bolter uses the class. Detection is amazing but you gain the benefits of it while playing heavy 90% of the time.

[@zeloth7]

@@ZealousVidya and this here is why youve become a joke to the community. yes heavy has an insane value, yes its an op class, but its not a class that comes with the same fundamental hardware requirements that allow decloak insta killing, or just straight up rat gameplay. its not inherently fun to fight a guy who uncloaks and camps vehicle terminals all day. heavy is its own seperate issue

[@ZealousVidya]

@@zeloth7 - and this here is why youve become a joke to the community >under what pretense? -yes heavy has an insane value, yes its an op class >ok so I'm right -decloak insta killing, or just straight up rat gameplay. its not inherently fun to fight a guy who uncloaks and camps vehicle terminals all day. >If you are dying to Infil's at vehicle terminals that's a skill issue tbqh. Are they unfun to die to? Honestly if I die to an Infil 9/10 that's on me and 1/10 times it's a bolt sniper. I can't recall a single time I've died to some dumb stalker or smg infil. It's almost always free kills.

[@Vydonis]

MAX: ... I know... Make them 50% HP against infantry(think what damages harassers and not tanks) guns only. Make all their guns hurt vehicles of every kind. Make them 200 nanites to pull so Heavies get their directives done faster, and people can pull more maxes that die faster. Remove max alerts, this alert is only relevant to heavies using orbital strikes to cheese directives. Give them a upgrade path that makes using counter intuitive weapon combos stronger (burster+gorgon gets 20% more damage or something) and make that a starting upgrade for noobs using the poverty max. That's my rant.... Also I agree on the hacker problem, it always happens during dead time that a instant kill turret hacker plagues emerald for at least four hours.

[@Vargrimstn]

Excited for more details

[@bighouse581]

I love this game, played many thousand hours. I played all week. Every big fight eventually had a mana turret cheater killing the fight through walls. Need a GM to play whack a mole so they don't kill the fights

[@ElevenAce]

Hacker issue is serious. Haven't played most of this year but the last few times it was insane.....

[@CryptoMiningTurtle]

Hackers are my least worries. Game keeps crashing every 30 mins

[@CryptoMiningTurtle]

Verifying files and going back to an old gpu driver does nada.

[@Dystinction1]

Fishing seems like it probably took no effort to put together so I dont mind it.

[@dust921]

just make the game cost like 20 bucks & that should help keep the hackers from coming back

[@FamiAoi]

This won't get me to come back. maybe I might try ps2 when I install my new processor but I've been so done with this game. Still interesting vehicle choice. I couldn't imagine how it would work with the game's collision unless the legs are not really walking but just invisible wheels that appear to be legs.

[@Pinetree747]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO. I'm stoked!! Also I am excited for fishing because why the hell wouldn't u want fishing

[@whowhowhowhowhowho8139]

[@samuelbaker8724]

Honestly, to me, I love the maps and the game in general. But PlayStation probably has the weirdest input I've ever seen. The game is great. It's fun. They should just do a little bit of... gunplay rework. Don't even have to have major improvements.

[@kanseiyamazaru435]

Holy Heck I thought this game had died ages ago. And no I'm not being an A-Hole by saying that. I hadn't touch this game in forever and just assumed that it slowly died off.

[@timetravelingoldman6839]

Wow a new vehicle

[@BericHN]

Planetside 2 juego de hace 12 años porque mejor no trabajan en Planetside 3 e incluyen estas actualizaciones de una vez

[@MuadDiiib]

new vehicle looks really ugly. shouldve been a new ESF. Attack jet type.

[@Lockdown22]

heavy / medic tryhards are more of a problem than any infiltrator. people just cry about infil is because its the one thing that is preventing them from having a pretty KD that no one cares about. aside from everything else, i think after all these updates i have some odd feeling we are getting another continent, just based off the photo of the new assault building, the background behind it, and the new armor bundle. none of these updates are going to keep me playing the game though, the only real thing that will bring back players is if they revert alot of CAI stuff. its cringe shooting 1 tank with over 6-7 rockets. i rather die easily to a2g and AOE tank rounds and be able to 1-2 shot them back then having to shoot many rockets / a2g /anti air rounds just to kill someone. this game is full of crybabies who just refuse to get good.

[@zakadams762]

[@Tyzen7]

Hackers are running around soft aimbotting and walling people and pretending to just be good at the game.

[@ZealousVidya]

I mean technically they could be but even the highest kd/kpm players stream on twitch, so they'll usually get caught eventually if they are augmenting their aim and that's okay happened once afaik(haypro or a similar name)

[@gamefan-k8t]

all i care about is stalker infil. it's all i play, i dont give a crap about any other class or playstyles. it's a THRILL to me to go knifing the heavies and elitists who think they're god and can never die by an inf and then hear them talk so much shit in yells about us. DONT ruin the stalker. and besides, it's already easy enough for everyone by adding all the sounds and everything to make stalkers harder to play. how much easier do you lazies need it?! just entitled bullshit is all this is tbh

[@ZealousVidya]

Generally I agree but the class will likely get screwed over fairly hard in a few months so enjoy it while you can.

[@ElevenAce]

Planetside 2 has had a good run but it has so many issues..... To be honest they need a huge influx of players but one problem is that weapon unlocks take a long time. And the average player doesn't has countless hours just to unlock one gun. And when you do unlock a gun theres barely a difference. That's just one of countless issues. Most of which is just fundamental parts of the game.....

[@D_KUE]

Finally I can agree with someone about infils. Infils are literally not a problem. I can't even remember last time I got killed by a pro infil, it's 98% heavy assault annihilating everyone.

This is the way.

Tem coisas mais importantes para arrumar em vez fe inventar moda coisas sem necessidade no jogo.
