There are 14 servers now which is a lot, so it was there fault to open too many servers in the first place
That's still not helping in 2-4 man platoons deparment, nor mostly everyone else I have talked with about why they're quitting.

Why don't you write up some lessons learned from PS2 Ironwolf? I think you are way too dismissive of the game but if you are talking to people that stopped playing it would interesting to hear in the context of Dust514. I will, of course, give you my critique ;)
Fine
*Lack of Tutorial leaves far to many players wondering WTF is going on, how its going on, and where to go on?
*Lack of investment of lore, unless you read the planetside 1 manual you have no effing idea who the hell the VS, NC, or TR are?
*Lack of diversity, Same tanks across all three races, similarly designed fighters. The same battle bus, the same atvs, the list goes on an on, this really kills the feel of separate factions to the point its just quite often its RvB with Purple being the only unique faction? Also because of this, I have killed more friendly tanks than hostile tanks.
*Lack of persistence, what I did 10 minutes ago doesn't matter. Battlefried resource rates are capped, so are resource stock being capped, so ultimately why bother fighting?
*Grinds in planetside 2 is so gawd awful for extremly little gains some options are beyond trivial, and unnoticable outside the weapons selections. Along with that what one common ability class unlocks does not transfer to all other classes, How many times do I have to retrain arbalative armor?
*On that note, the most useful guns are locked behind month long grinds each, the default guns for most classes just utterly suck for their roles.
*UI is excruciatingly TERRIBLE in graphical quality. Really it looks like something from 1998 games using 2d sprites to display UI.
*Minimal Graphics Settings =/= Minimal Grpahics to play
*No Punishments for being a failhard outside getting farmed at your warp gate which they're removing eventually.
*No Rewards for being a pro-nwer.
*Facility Maps are extraordinarily terrible they always seem to result into 1 choke camp fest.
*Defense of facilities seems impossible in equal number fights.
*Squad Leaders deploying orders requires leveling up....
*Class Based System sucks more overall.
*Faction weapons between the TR and NC is not distinctive enough.
*The 6 Month plan nearly reflects what dust 514 been doing the last year and does not address core issues with the game.
*The game feels like a total cop out in trying to be long term, unlocks and access to different gear takes way to long to gain access too.
*Constantly dwindling player team sizes just, is just heart breaking, I am not seeing the 2000v2000 fights like some enthusiastic fans where claiming the largest fights these days are 30 vs 10. Adding another map would probably make this much much worse.
*8 Facility maps are boring, repetitive, and non functional.
*there is absolutely no correlation between what facilities do and their design or urgency. |
