Planetside 2's model is albeit very different because you're trying to circumvent years of training with purchases.
To absolutely own everything in Planetside 2 costs.... about 1200 USD.
In Dust 514, its nearly impossible to do this at all because all the items are only early access but fleeting amounts. Pennies or fractions of to try anything out. So for less than 20 usd you can not only get some good gear but figure out what things you want or dont want to train up and get better isk version gear. Thus that sort of grinding to get to a comfortable spot is about 1-2 weeks.
Planetside 2 progression model is a grind fest from hell. To unlock 1 launcher literally took me 2 months as a casual player. I also didn't have the oppertunity to try out the launcher because the damn system has a horrible idea of 'preview' of the item so having to rely on weapon description and the damage over distance graphs.
As for the overall playing environment Planetside 2 is abhorrently horrible, there are bugs in it that have still not been resolved since launch and even worst SOE not only refuses to acknowledge some bugs but some bugs they censor the crap out of. I know a few guys to gotten completely banned by SOE system (all SOE game) for posting videos of some of planetside 2's worst bugs. Disappearing heads (both drawn and physical) miffs me the most in cqc. Invisible walls, falling though the floor. Then the newer bugs such as the NC Max Shield being permanently stuck ON, Even after death. The game refusing to recognize you died and many many more things that makes PS2 a frustration to play at times. Like my new launcher every so often I would fire and the rocket is a dud and falls straight down harming me in the process instead of letting me camera guide it.
The fights are more meaningless most of the time than most lobby shooters, becuase it usually boils down to spawn camped or spawn camping, RARELY do you get what I would call a 'fight' in larger numbers, in smaller numbers fights are more like frustration station becuase there are so few people trying to take and defend the objective it makes it very unfun to be running around in a place designed to host a 50 player battle but with only 4 guys on your team and 1-2 guys on the other team and it takes way too long to unscrew or screw over each other.

LOL... that does not explain why the fight for The Crown as gone from an epic 500 players total to a pathetic 20 lately.
Here's a hint they de-stratigize the crown. Holding just about any territory in planetside 2 is a liability and not an advantage. Just about any and every territory that was hard to take over was made so easily taken over that defending anything is not worth it anymore. |

You sir are smoking crack
I sir play the game as a means of research. I am literally watching PS2 die before my eyes and taking notes as to why.
Mistakes SOE has done so far.
1. Got Greedy.
2. Threw away the road map
3. Not admitting mistakes
4. Gone Googoo over MLG.
5. Hats.
6. Threw balancing out the window. VS Max Suit ability horribly out of balance.
7. The inherit problem with Red =/= Blue =/= Purple
8. The inherit problem that you force players to remain Red, Blue, or Purple.
9. The inherit problem of having Red Vs Blue Vs Purple. |

A relatively weak pc with intel integrated hd 4000 graphics can run PS2 on low setting easily @720p.
And that is another point I wanted to bring up, Lower graphical settings in planetside 2 puts you at a disadvantage, you have to play several settings near max to actually not get disadvantaged. Most notable AA gunning. |

Biased or not its not helping to try to enjoy a game that was designed around multiple hundred player fights with the population numbers I just posted. |

I swear I was the only one defending Mattherson's Esamir today >< Shot down 2 liberators 2 scythes and one harasser and called it a day since they had like 20 more of the damn things in the air and rest of the folk on the continent (five total) where afk.
They need to merge servers again. I can't stand the lack of allies and sometimes the total lack of targets. |
