been this way for years. its so hard to find a friendly player on NA, let alone a player that isn't a purely-silent unreacting bot. its sad i wanna have fun but it seems that people care more about getting more kills on their maxxed auraxed guns than cultivating a community. the game devs are huffing their own farts on top of it.
Honestly, I supported their movement of closing the sub in their movement. But also you cannot remove communication from a community so small. It can kill a game having no communication.
Too funny...I quit the game years ago but the subreddit was always a toxic cesspool of shitters and terminally-online losers who lived their entire lives mired in their weirdo high-school-esque discord dramas without ever even seeing grass never mind touching it. I'm sure it hasn't changed much if at all. The fact that the sub being private might have actually hurt the game and further lowered the already dismal player counts is even funnier, and really shows the sad state of the community - the only ones left are casuals who don't really care about any of this stuff, and the hardcore planetside 2 addicts who can't see themselves ever playing anything else, and now jealously guard their game against any change or influx of new blood, as often happens in the end-of-life period of MMO's - those who claim to hate the game can't stop playing it, and end up as toxic gatekeepers preventing any reinvigoration of the community.
Ps2 subreddit had been the go-to community "barometer " of everything that goes on in a game that I still play and enjoy. While I've noticed its absence while it was off, it's mostly not affected the way I've played ps2 or interacted with people in-server. I'll be on the sub again to browse, and filter out the garbage content from the useful posts as before
I have to go for the "cesspool I actively avoid" option. That goes for reddit in general and has been the case before I ever started playing Planetside. The internet can be kinda toxic at times but people on reddit take it to a whole new level imo. I genuinely don't understand how anyone can enjoy a damn thing on that website because you end up reading so much angry bullshit and oftentimes it comes out of nowhere. Just people arguing and name calling over things that really do not matter. I could not care less if the subreddit lives or dies, no offense to those running it or those who do enjoy it. I just can't fucking stand reddit myself. Never could.
@@thatsneakyneenja2595 You're welcome to your opinion but I don't share it I'm afraid. Any time I've ever looked at anything on reddit I've always come away shaking my head. And the stuff I did read, I'm pretty sure it was moderated. It's possible to disagree on something without being a total shithead to the person you're communicating with. Seems to me that some people on reddit could do with learning that.
Most of the time when I want to look something up about a game I find useful answers on reddit, but aside from that I absolutely agree, even on said useful answers I'd typically see a braindead comment or two like the ones you mentioned lmao.
I have been posting memes with decent upvotes (for the sub) during a year, but I don't really want to post in the sub anymore. Although I do want to make more memes. Probably I will go to Discord now.
The original mod (RoyAwesome) shut down the subreddit because he could not search use history for transphobic posts - his exact words. I welcome the change in leadership, I will take anyone at this point.
Before I even watch this video I just want to stat that r/Planetside was very toxic. In fact, it was so toxic it made me happy to see it disappear during the blackout, and that's sad because it could be a decent place to discuss the future of the game, but we can do without the trolls and troglodytes.
When you google a PS2 question, reddit almost always has the largest amount of relevant information, but because the sub was made private, the only way to access that info was to use google cache. I reported the mods because going to google cache every time I wanted a simple question answered was a pain in the ass.
@@daanstrik4293 Don't simp for authoritarian corporate boot lickers. That shouldn't even need to be explained to anyone with any functioning brain cells.
reddit is not my property nor my invetion nor owend by me so the ppl who run reddit can do whatever . that dose not mean i will make an account for it , just like twitter watch it from far far away .
In my opinion, the planetside subreddit was toxic as hell and a large chunk of the people in it would criticize the game then "brag" about how they haven't logged on in 2 years or something. I would pop in every now and then to wade through the toxic stuff to find someone post a montage of cool clips or something similar, upvote it, then leave. I haven't missed it while it was gone, but I guess even with as toxic as it was, it's still an avenue to talk about the game. Every one of those we lose hurts the engagement, and thus the game health, I think.
In my opinion, the subreddit was actually somewhat bad for the game. The passionate vets went from complaining about the game to pushing away new players in many cases. Of course, we probably do need a subreddit. I don't think that the blackouts were effective at all. We needed to stop using reddit. I'm still able to use infinity for reddit luckily (shh) and will keep doing so until it's no longer possible. People need to realise that many regular people in poorer countries can't use the stock app without constant frustrations, lags and other nonsense. In any case, I'm optimistic that Varunda will steer the ship so that we actually have a more positive (but still realistic) community again. Good luck with working on your IRL stuff.
I mean that place has people unironically crying about HA being the worst class in one of the main page threads just as we speak. That cesspool should have stayed contained and left forgotten, to be never looked upon again.
As of now, the ps2 reddit is a cesspool that was occasionally good for memes and fun reads. There are worse cesspools from the saltiest vets with their own personal private ps2 communities, though.
sry when i say this playing since 10 years this Game has realy only Toxic Players 30% hackers 40% bug/makro bug abuse and 70% VPN bug abuse this game is to old to fix this many bugs and support not exist since years has 28 open reports with video since 2 years no comment
I stopped what little time I spent on Reddit over their protests. I get it, but was a foolish move for all subs. So yes, I boycott Reddit for boycotting. It got nothing accomplished.
What happened to Commander Cyrious? No vids for months.
The real sad thing here is the Planetside community trying to kill itself with all this unnecessary infighting.

Reddit: How to kill a company in 6 months
Reddit saw Twitter and said "hold my beer"
The only time I ever went to the reddit was to see what people have been crying about since the last time I played the game.
BIG TRUE!

Why is Darkstar so op

Reddit in general is a cesspool. I deleted my account on it and have zero interest in making a new account.

Yippie, hope the house goes well.
Reddit sucks, always has. Would be great if the community moved to a different platform altogether
Thank you for the info. I would not touch Reddit for a near future. I didn't lost anything because I am more on forumside.
Looking like we might see a dip under 1,000 players for the first time ever on steam charts. 🤡Mission accomplished, Reddit.
REDDIT is an echo-chamber safe-space for fluffy snowballs

Don't know what unmoderated subreddits you have looked at but they are not typically that bad.

That's not a meme? That's hilarious, and totally makes sense for the average reddit mod slaving away to moderate the site for no pay. 🤣
Can we go back to the reddit being removed.
been gaming a long long time never needed reddit for anything
Where are YOOOUUU! ??? COMEBACKKKK!!!

All of Reddit is like that 😂
reddit & sub-reddit is just small people thinking they are big but actually just blowing themselves for the lolz. Down with both!
Any clans still active on here? Downloading this on pc for the first time.
looks at reddit. sees 86k subs
looks at ps2 steam numbers. sees under 2k
i dont even want an explanation
Planetside sits around 68k monthly online. Its tracked on OutfitTracker.
5,000 even being on Genudine.
Hey Commander Cyrious, what Outfit are you in charge of?

I reported the mods because going to google cache every time I wanted a simple question answered was a pain in the ass.
So you reported moderators for doing the very thing they volunteered for (managing a subreddit)
@@daanstrik4293 their job was to manage, they mismanaged.

Reddit has always been whack anyway. Good luck with the house hombre!!
Nah. No boycott necessary. I'm glad it's back. The PvP mode was hilarious. Very interesting
we miss you we need to know whats going on! come back pls!
I like reddit but the default app is just really bad so I don't go on there often
we did it reddit

What happened to him?
He returned
never really cared about reddit
Haven’t been on it in so long but it’s toxic af. The sheer hatred they have for pilots and air makes me happy with what’s goin on over there.
Not just the reddit, everyone hates air players. idk what else to tell you

now the subreddit it obsessed about the game dying

A containment zone for mentally ill people with bad opinions.
Is it possible to just say "fuck Reddit" and make an exodus to the fediverse?
