@@Slithy you mean those vanu zergs on miller swarming everything they run into? Might be fun for them, but cant be countered. Considering sundy cand survive Orbital.
nice! Unfortunately you won't be able to experience the prime of the game, but hopefully Emerald and Soltech still give you decently big fights to have fun with
@@Hys-01 even if it's smaller fights, I'm still happy. Its a new experience and it's pretty fun. But yeah it would be nice to have a feel of the original.
and as a result - everything is ballanced except sundy. Man, let them sundies do their thing - spawning and stop shooting at me all day. Yeah, dmg isnt too high, but its constant. I cant kill it like skyguard or MBT. They have shield back, they repair. I'd never touch it if it wasnt this much annoying. Due to extreme durability - it replaces skyguard, it replaces AP lightning, it replaces Vanguard as a shield of infantry. They dont even use it as a spawner anymore.
was quite ballanced for a decade. Kinda too weak to c4, but overally did what it has to - spawning. And infantry around it were responsible of keeping it alive. Its like the main base - you loose the game if its destroyed.
the defense isnt ok. Any other vehicle can be destroyed quickly so people are sometimes avoid opening fire, afraid of the answer. Sundy doesnt care, it has so much hp,shields,resists,repair and abuse it. After all these boosts it fair to remove one of sundy's top weapons.
Battle bus wars are back tho and it's fun. Yea the buses are a hair too tanky but it's fun. There's a few bugs such as losing ownership when dropping cargo and people on default 74 max fov will shoot the sheild of the bus dome shield
In my opinion: Sunderer already was a behemoth to deal with. Just takes one person to pull it out but now my [insert how many c4 bricks light assault can carry] c4 detonations do not kill it after breaking the line of 10's, potentialy a hundred soldiers ON MY OWN does not destroy it outright, let alone have ALL damage negated because of some first-hit protection, then I'd consider that pretty OP. Oh hold up, the enemy has three more of them now. fun
I remember when I could use two C-4 and a single burst of the anti aircraft rocket launcher to destroy it. But at the end of the day, there is nothing we can do.
@GEEISKING if think it would be ballanced enough with 2 c4's and 4 bursts. Making sure it dies if anyone absolutely doesnt mind protecting it. If devs ever wanted to keep sundies alive - they'd better remove "200 deployed sundies to kill" directive for white camo.
To be honest I was thinking they should add forward spawns like bio labs in so I guess I can't complain about this. It keeps people in battle which is the most important thing for me. With higher population this wouldn't be needed like a few years ago. They should have made ohsur the small continent for lower player counts or maybe even another map but it's probably to late now
Considering the game was sold less than 6 months ago and is under new development it’s far better for the updated to come out slower and smaller for the first year while the new team learns the game
Its not sold tho, jst new devs(already fired). But you're absolutely right about scale of updates. They jst took a 12 years working game and boosted multiple stats of a single vehicle without even touching any other. Its just so amazingly dumb, i cant even think about how thats possible
It already got fixed and now it’s balanced and it’s really fucking right now you can still use them offensively, but you have to be more careful with your positioning, and it has to be deployed. That way you can make the most of its abilities to actually survive offensively
See? People use it offensively. What kind of spawnpoint is that? Its easier to kill MBT - takes much less time. And its cheaper. And it repairs itself. And it has free terminal to adapt infantry loadout to easily counter current biggest threat. Ofcourse everyone will dump tanks for battlebus.
Imagine to only improve a single one weapon, leaving behind the rest. Imagine you do not main this weapon because its boring. Imagine everyone around you to use it because its overpowered, universal and cheap.
Turns out making a nearly immortal spawn point with heavy weaponry that’s capable of killing air armor and infantry alike and in so taking so much more damage to kill was a bad idea. Who knew? Oh yea, the vehicle players that left the game years ago.
@@R1po Whats the problem then? Hide bus, spawn inf. What a good boy sundy does. I dont touch these. But these who pull battlebus on purpose - they jst want to be a skyguard, but undestructible. All the extra durability buffs cannot overwhelm my endless passion of destroying these abusers. As lib yourself do you enjoy an extra AA unit yourself?
Yeah right now sundies are super overtuned. It has 3 core problems that make it a silly powerful combat vehicle. Nanite armor (is two of them) specifically has the same issue release berserker had, massive constant passive healing even through damage and a giga-buffed fire suppression. The third issue is that by combining racer 3 and rival 3 chassis, they've somehow made the sundie faster and more maneuverable than it was previously with either one so it's moving around at near harasser speed with some ridiculous hill climbing capabilities.
My boys say they had some of the best fights in years after this update
Your boys plays NC, right ?
@@Garlan4 Actually not sure, some of em might be Vanu :P

Ngl. As a new player. Im hyped. Ive switched from cod, to this.

@dragondude6984 It definitely is a one-of-a-kind experience. I hope you have a blast playing!
@@Hys-01 thanks
@dragondude6984 have you played with the 4XP last weekend? There were so many people
This sounds fine, Planetside should be balanced around the sunderer. It has always been the linchpin of PS2 since the start

CAMI, its been this way for a literal decade.

The defense capabilities are fine. Problem is that they didn't balance the weapons accordingly. But it's going in the right direction.

@@dabababa-h6w Sure... But the devs gave up after launch.
I am genuinely surprised people still even play this game after Sony sold it.
Except consoles is still left behind
The console population is shrinking unfortunately. Which probably means less money. Plus new owner likes game and he's on pc.

This update is great! The Devs released a new patch today
fights have been way better. Makes sense troop transports with tanks should dominate. Single sunderers still get wrecked though.
At this point they have maybe a 1000 players on pc and playstation its point it doesnt matter
also broke vehicle ballance in planetside 1 right before shutting down.
So let me get this straight: they IMPROVE something…and you guys can only complain about it.
Imagine to only improve a single one weapon, leaving behind the rest. Imagine you do not main this weapon because its boring. Imagine everyone around you to use it because its overpowered, universal and cheap.
They need to make the third game already

I hope it doesn’t take 2-3 guys with c4 or just heavies pounding the sundy with rockets.
Always so negative about this game. Just stop playing it guy
