I am going to say here some outrageous and then I'm going to give you the solution to all your problems with oshur. If you believe me and say my proposition here in one of your videos they will probably make it happen. If you don't believe me and don't say anything, this will probably be the end of ps2. As a commenter I proposed the Black hand, the throwing knifes, the shuriken, the robot side, the ambusher jump jet pack, the pilot, the emissary, the deringer and the showdown. They were added to the game simply because they are easy to develop and they bring obviously again play themselves. And when I stopped suggesting ideas, the ideas stop happening. Which was about a year ago. Hi hello I'm a developer and a moder a very good PlanetSide 2 player I'm the kind of guy you probably need your entire org to kill and I will still take 10 to 15 out before they get me, I had actually killed in various ocations an entire side (50 players) to the barracks in under 40 seconds with a punching knife back when it was 1 hit kill and probably why they took it out. And I post here to let you know it's ridiculously easy to fix oshure, all they need to do is make the watter so while standing you are visible and can shoot outside and run fast but while crouching you are looking and shooting underwater and moving slow. And then make the other 10% deeper as in a dividing manner to the main islands. If you propose this seamingly stupid modification they will do something like it if not exactly that 6 months later it will be online.

[@Einxeld]

@@whowhowhowhowhowho8139 idea is intersting but very unpolished. I don't see how it will be fun to be killed every time by some rat sitting underwater and waiting for you while you can't see him.

[@theDemolisher13]

The concept of "we respect X member so much that we don't want to touch their work" will only lead to stagnation. Honestly as much as it hurts when I see other people come into my projects and basically replace me. I'm honestly more happy in the end as someone has carried my torch onward to hopefully make it better and go further than I could carry it. The exception to this rule is when the new person actively makes what I had made worse for no legit reason. In all honesty human innovation relies on replacing what others work on before. That doesn't mean we have to forget them.

[@hckr_-gh7se]

i cant speak for every vehicle player but for myself and my friends, we hate oshur as well because getting from island to island inevitably requires us to go under water and take 30 hours to drive across the seabed

[@efraim3364]

Hossin has way more of a graphics load than Oshur

[@MrPDD-NOS]

As a console player for Planetside 2 I agree with you on Oshur. If I remember correctly it was implemented as a way to make construction more impact full but the construction system never got implemented onto ps4 😅

[@CHUCKBALLER2024]

Seems i'm only one still streaming this game EVERYDAY

[@ZealousVidya]

So many people have left the game

[@CHUCKBALLER2024]

agreed and if no change so so will be me@@ZealousVidya

[@Yummeh]

I truly hope they can get it to a stable or even growing state. To get a player boost they can or maybe even need to improve graphics, assets, textures. But that would only be a temporary solution if the core gameplay just doesn't work. Personally smth that annoys me is the respawn timers which feel like they are just a bit too long, maybe its just me though.

[@Brevokh]

If your respawn timers are too long it’s because you’re zerging lmao. The game also needs to run better not look better

[@KanyonMerriam]

Or just shut down the servers and make planetside 3 with better graphics and an all new engine, gunplay, and movement system

[@Yummeh]

@@KanyonMerriam with what money, it doesn't grow on trees. If they can't fix their current game who will trust them in creating a planetside 3.

[@TurtleFootMining]

The game needs a whole new engine.

[@hckr_-gh7se]

at that point just make planetside 3

[@14h8h8l]

No, my pc will explode

[@jobs.1518]

What would really save this game is a submarine. Devs need to add a submarine for oshur, Corsair is not enough.

[@nathanknepper1431]

honestly I’m surprised no one else has developed a new game like this. I play a lot of HLL these days but its more like battlefield and lacks the free for all chaos of Planetside

[@LittleBlue42]

I just picked it up for the first time yesterday. Im not buying membership yet. Its a great time so far, but i havent had time to learn all the systems and get bored of it yet. I think this game basically needs a new version. Planetside 3. Some better lighting (ao and shadows). Maybe a tiny bit more impact when shots connect. Otherwise i dont have enough experience with it to know its flaws. All i see as a new player so far in 2024 is that it needs a generational face lift. I have a 4k monitor. In order to play this game i have to change my screen res to 1440p before i launch the game in order to read or make out anything in the UI. Thats one example of the game showing its age.

[@jakewebb7995]

daybreak is a hospice for games. the best possible future involves changing as little as possible. maby adding an anti-cheat that works.

[@dustix1087]

good video man

[@FazeMann]

All I want for 2024 is for the devs to merge Connery and Emerald, because Connery is quite literally dead. We are losing so much players because of the population issue in Connery. It’s like watching a wound get infected knowing dammmm well it’s gonna kill you 😔

[@ZealousVidya]

True

[@RohanAirsoft]

The priority should be Planetside 3 and making it more like Planetside 1.

[@baronwhite4631]

I want a Koltyr map remodeled after Shattered Warpgate jungles. With Pommel Gardens type bases and not towers. Then return the rock bridge to TI and make it even better aka 2 rock bridges. Essentially " medium map sized nature fight improvements ". I'd favor that even more than fixing Oshur. Since Oshur doesn't even have the island size for jungle tree forests infantry fights. Koltyr has the land. OW maps have the land. I'd edit OW maps & Koltyr . Give players 3 new medium sized maps that all have shattered warpgate trees. As for Oshur. They need to make fights happen evenly at Astira and Pommel Gardens & since the roads to either of them are ignored or silo blocked. That won't happen. Astira to Pomme doesn't even have a link. Instead they keep trying to make all the fights for Oshur get stuck at 1 mid region only and for a map that's already too lane verse lane, you don't want everyone stuck at 1 mid region only. Try 3 mid regions equally.

[@14h8h8l]

I like Oshur, especially underwater warfare

[@ZealousVidya]

Are you a Light Assault player?

[@14h8h8l]

@@ZealousVidya No, underwater I usually use a heavy assault or a medic. The diving propulsion device gives greater speed and maneuverability than a light assault. Many players don't use underwater guns, so you can shoot them from greater distance.

[@pepakczsk6255]

I like Oshur too

[@Eckogen]

Off topic, but you know how to get the S2-50-HCG guns? I didn't see them in the Depot (maybe I'm blind).

[@ZealousVidya]

NSO only

[@Karpata1]

Lately I've really enjoyed the small ops with 4-8 players. This is of course not a sustainable situation but it's a very different and enjoyable experience compared to the peak hour ops with 2 platoons playing redeploy-side.

[@xxjj-dragonxx]

Which weapon is that, that thing looks really good at the beginning

[@jamesrusselleriii8284]

Undo all of Wrel's nerfs Make MAXes revivable again Make vehicle rumble seat repairs work again. Revert infantry power creep vs aircraft and vehicles Find another way to monetize that doesn't involve "pay to skip this line!" during peak times

[@kahlernygard809]

Yep wrels max nerfs killed the game.

[@Brainmaster6000]

@@kahlernygard809 nope max + ingi still op see NC max camping doors

[@kahlernygard809]

@Brainmaster6000 sitting behind a door is way different than fighting in an open space(s). Max used to be viable for attacking. Good luck doing anything vs anti tank rifles

[@henjem14]

Someone said just putting Oshur on immediate alert and also increasing XP gain for that map to incentivise playing it but also keeping it short lived so players can jump on to another conti quicker. I have to say sometimes I have left to do something else instead of playing oshur and when I come back 3-4 hours later its still oshur, welp, try again tomorow.

[@Brainmaster6000]

u playing Miller when i see it right, are DIGT LPS FFS FU KOTV still hacks?

[@ZealousVidya]

never were.

[@1roxyfan491]

well for starters they should stop catering to Betelgeuse mains and learn to understand there's a HUGE difference between actual criticism and just wining man children who complain about stuff being broken and demand that it be nerferd because in reality they just suck at the game. Also, they should defiantly bring back old construction and make maxes revivable again. and also, I don't think they should get rid of Osher, but instead rework it to have more spawns. And above all, make the game friendlier for new players because only us as a community can do that. In my RIGHT opinion of course.

[@hckr_-gh7se]

yeah new player retention and conversion should be prio #1, i know they worked on it before but clearly that hasn't worked as well. also construction needs to be less janky at a minimum if they wanted to actually improve it.

[@jakewebb7995]

@@hckr_-gh7se meanwhile they are selling old packs to get the implants you want for $20 making it look pay to win for anyone new with a brain.

[@hurrdurr3615]

The infil problem and the Oshur problem are very much related though. The issue with Oshur is that sightlines are so long and the terrain is so open that you have to either play infil or vehicle or you're gonna get fucked. That really is the main issue with the continent. A lot of bases are bad, yes, but the underlying issue is about openness.

[@TheLazySamurai]

"Or if you like boats" Oh shit, he's talking about me! But seriously, just make the Corsair amphibious, remove Oshur, and you probably get the best outcome

[@math368]

he should finish the 2023 road map before announcing the 2024 roadmap could start by coming that of 2023 alliance system oufit it not the personalization of the bation not the resuscitation resources outfit not the auto squad not the , me a small unit make alliance other unit could allow us play oufit wars, to solve problems oshur it's simple meter all the time 2 containing open for all people, adds more small buildings to play in infantry from everywhere on adds lots of small paths to climb from everywhere like on howling pass

[@mihigyver]

i love oshur ther is something wrong with you guys 😆 in fact sometimes i just login to see if oshur is open, for construction it is great! and if i have enough i go farming with the reaver. or a lightning

[@osm3008]

just came back to the game few days ago, i hate oshur, whenever i play and the next map is oshur the server dies, or people just try to start the alert and then log off for an our until its done and we can play again

[@jinxclaessen1544]

i dont see what people dislike about oshur... but they could just have it open permenantly and then remove it from the regular rotation..

[@1975Thinkbox]

the amount of aimbot in this game is horrendous.

[@kahlernygard809]

Yet maxes can outplay aimbot. It's why wrel nerfed maxes

[@HansensUniverseT-A]

Removing years worth of bad bloat, which will not happen as we all know.

[@Satori-Do]

agreed, oshur plz get out of the main continent. it seems its always main atm.

[@DanceSC2]

I don't think the solution is to remove a continent or content in general that has already been added to the game. I think a more productive way of handling this scenario would be to create a way that players who are currently on have some means of voting for which content they would like to play on. If each player has the ability to rank their favorite maps, then the game can easily take all the votes from each active and online player and use that information to determine what maps open or unlock next. Another option too, they can allows players to vote to open a second continent.

[@henjem14]

This could be a good idea, Make everyone set their map priority and then pick the most popular of online players who have just finished the last alert. example: 1:Amerish 2:Indar 3:Esamir 4:Koltyr 5:Anything but Oshur

[@konellin189]

they lost me during the new base restructure....

[@tserv2657]

agree..... just wont play the game when that map is on lmao. nerfing everything into the ground didnt help either.

[@jakewebb7995]

the teamwork excuse is such bullshit.

[@magorostravsky5732]

I liked demo version of Oshur they showed years ago. It was good looking, terrain, water, forrests... Good concept. But this version of Oshur... It Is bad

[@LuciarTRPS2]

Oshur sucks and I refuse to play on it. I log off if there is no other option. Hossin sucks too

[@henjem14]

Hossin has really grown on me and 90% of the time its just Nasons defiance which is arguably one of the best bases to play. Oshur really is unenjoyable though.

[@AndraxisCode]

Console updates. Focus on bringing console servers up to par. Or at least implement a system like Warframe etc where they can implement live updates without having to go through Sony for every little thing

[@Goodgu3963]

Consoles are a plague on gaming. Any time spent on consoles is time and money down the drain, or actually makes games worse.

[@bjurling78]

The game needs to have cloak removed. It's killing any possible enjoyment to be had in this game. Cloak in a game like this, with gameplay being what it is on the regular days, is pure digitalized cancer. Dying to any one of the myriad cloakers clambering over each other like a semi-translucent wave of snot is the most UNFUN experience in the history of gaming. Cloak needs to go to save this game.

[@pepakczsk6255]

I want them to remove invisibility, I don't know who thought to put a sniper and SMG together with invisibility. It's the cancer of this game

[@ZealousVidya]

Statistically you are incorrect, barring bolt.

[@pepakczsk6255]

@@ZealousVidya This is not about statistics, but about the fact that there is a bad reaction to it and it spoils the experience of the game

[@henjem14]

Invis isn't inherently bad and it's an interesting and fun mechanic but it just needs some work, I don't think you should be able to use invis AND and SMG. And also decloaking shooting delay should take longer to prevent players instantly appearing out of thin air and killing you. And someone mentioned inverting the damage profile of snipers so they cant OHK you in CQB - their damage gets higher with more range.

[@pepakczsk6255]

@@henjem14 for me, only a Stolker with pistols is enough, and I would move the rest of the weapons to the new sniper class
