  • I always play a healer in mmos, but haven't got my healing build going yet. From what I can see as a tank though, it is definitely the hardest job in the game. I have a lot of sympathy for my beakers and am very forgiving in this game. It's a toug…
  • Just wait until you open enough of the skill tree to really start playing with builds. I've seen some great combinations. A guildmate of mine is running a healing build with tanking Passives and gear. He can tank elite instances with no need for…
  • F2P is no longer an indication that a game has failed. It is a viable and lucrative business model that helps to foster community growth. Free to play does not mean a game is bad. This game is great regardless of business model.
  • These are most likely third party retailers offering a sale on amazon. It's probably not amazon itself and it's definitely not funcom. Also, why would you post about this without a link?
  • I judged the game on the first zone back in beta and I was totally sold. If people don't like those first zones, there isn't much you can say. The zones in this game aren't radically different from the starting area. Frankly, I thought Kingsmout…
  • @BigRock I have to correct you on tanking. It is important to take the tanking trees. That would be chaos, blade, and hammer. Well, half of each one of trees are tanking half are dps. A lot of your survivability comes from those trees and a good …
  • Originally posted by elocke [snip] Don't forget I mentioned the "tapping" mechanic.  That alone is new to me, as it means I can grab a mob and someone else can come along and starting attacking it, or vice versa and both players or more get FULL…
  • Originally posted by Wickedjelly Originally posted by Garvon3 The same will happen to this game. It happens to every WoW clone. Except this game is not a WoW clone. Can thump that drum as much as you want but won't make that overdone term true h…
  • Lotro combat is better? No reference to secret societies? Crafting is tedious? Slow advancement? What the crap are you talking about? Saying the combat sucks so I'm going back to Lotro is pretty funny to me.
  • I find the investigation missions to be very innovative in the mmo genre. Thy absolutely are. Just because another jmo had puzzles doesn't mean they were anything like the investigation missions. They simply weren't. SWTOR had a puzzle in EV, wow…
  • One of the best for sure. If we just look at the last couple of years worth of mmos, I would easily put it on the top of that list.
  • Welcome to all the new members that have joined up!   Just as a quick update we currently have 150+ members and mostly from the Cerberus dimension.   We are progressing through content quite nicely and are very active in PvP.   We have a great g…
  • Heh, I never log in to facebook ever. I think I might have pissed my friends and family off a bit by actually logging in for once and spamming the crap out of all of them with planetside 2 stuff.  
  • Just wanted to add that I'm pretty sure you have to have actually purchased the game before a certain date (earlier this year i believe) and payed for at least a month subscription in the past.   They have been kind of flaky on if people that only…
  • Originally posted by Jakdstripper Originally posted by colddog04 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlanetSide_2 SOE has been taking into account balance issues from the first game. Matthew Higby, the creative director, has stated "We're definit…
  • Originally posted by Siveria Easy solution is once a faction has maybe 2-3% higher pop than another faction lock out that faction till the other 2 balance out, then reopen it, can be done automatically most likely. Make it be by number of accounts i…
  • Looking for pilots to join up! If you're interested in flying a Galaxy or other aircraft, we have spots open for you!
  • @Wicoa You are worrying to much. First of all, no sub fee in the history of gaming as ever been able to prevent "ass hattedness" People like that go largely unchecked in every game, even with box fees or subscriptions or xbox live or f2p or w…
  • @gravarg Except there is no purchase price of the game, and also Planetside 1 is still running 9 years later even though it's been merged down to one server. Your argument is invalid in this case.
  • I think there are two ways to look at it. First, I think the more important benefit to having a box cost is to deter hackers. This is a good way to help make bans effective. I kind of wish it had an upfront cost for this reason. However, hackig ca…
