The one thing that burned me out the most was the Arsenal Update, and how a big chunk of players went to NC. It was a big unbalance in faction pop. The game was almost unplayable for a couple of month, from a VS Miller player's POV.
Right now that is what has me playing other games more. They made NC so appealing to everyone that it's consistently out popping the other 2 factions nearly every night. These last few weeks on Connery the VS have been sitting at 20% pop and TR and NC is at 30-40. Grinding against an overpop on every single base isn't fun after a while.
You know what's crazy? I played PlanetSide 2 back in 2018 got 3 characters to lvl 40-60 eventually got bored and stopped playing. Id play a few games here and there trying to see if I could get back into it over the years and couldn't. Fast forward to 2 months ago, I got this LG C2 4K OLED 120 HZ monitor gave the game a try and I've been ridiculously addicted ever since. I literally play 6 hours plus every day minimum. Bought the membership, bought all kinds of cosmetic skin/vehicle stuff. It's such a crazy experience playing on this monitor(it's actually a TV but great for pc gaming too) I know this sounds like an advertisement but it's not, the game is a complete different experience night and day difference coming from a quad HD 165 Hz 27in to the OLED. I tried going back to the old monitor to see the difference and wanted to turn the game right off.. nothing wrong with the old monitor either was the best of the best a few years ago
I agree about what was said. My main cause of burnout for me is losing alerts. And as a leader of a small outfit , creating a community is also another cause of burnout since most new players joins zerg fits.
If I want to play a Shooter, I play PS2. No, I don't care for all the Weapons being on-point balanced, I often like the Challenge of an underpowered Weapon or just the novelty of it after playing one other Weapon for a while. The whole Water Mechanic of Oshur should not include the special Weapons but rely on the old Arsenal which should not be as unusable as it is atm. I don't do anything that involves Water bases atm. They also should switch the Bases from floating on the water to being on the Ocean Floor itself. My advice for not burning out would be to unlock different Directives. With that, you are set for a while ^^ 1st Phase: Learn and enjoy 2nd Phase: Master Maps, Classes, and Equipment 3rd Phase: Unlock some things, get into being a deciding factor on the Battlefield, and maybe even Lead. 4th Phase: BURNOUT HARD. Then realize that you really like PS2 and can be very versatile and have lots of fun just doing whatever you feel like :D For me, playing with others was a great and awful time. Now I just pop in when I feel like it, do not get bound by an Outfit, and just do my thing that sometimes includes others, and sometimes not :P I now played for over 6000 Hours since 1 Day after Release.
I’ve been playing planetside 2 for two years now and it’s the only game that hasn’t burnt me out somehow. Even with the flaws(and there is a lot) I can’t stop playing. Im sweaty with a competitive background but don’t play everyday so that may help.
Construction needs a buff. Wrel needs to look at inspirations like foxhole for what construction needs to be in plantside 2. I think they should nerf base spawns for vehicles and give that to construction and more. I like construction when feeling burned out on other content. I don't worry about directives as I play what I want to play for infantry or vehicles or air. Just wish they could add some more support items to construction to make it viable.
Its many things for me. Played a long time in the game, have 3-4 characters, all factions. Yet, even though i play differently in different factions, i still burnt out too in the end. I played with friends who left the game a long time ago. Some patches and updates make my style of play worse, which i should just try harder but in the end, the fun isnt the same anymore. And the most annoying thing is the zerging i see or saw in too many fights or the 2v1, leaving the victim of it at his warpgate, discouraging them from advancing and actually play the game. Especially if you main a sniper, wont do much against a zerg of vehicles. Having that every single day... I dont know about anyone but i get tired of it today. And if you dont have the ressources or the right upgrades, you cant do much. I also play 2-3 hours each session, just enough to get an alert or two and then, i log out, which i think its fine. Playing 5 hours or more, i would be crazy XD. In the end, with the games releasing and the work, i hardly get the time to play the game again, including all of the statements above.
How do you run past claymore mines and not have them detonate on you? Like three times in the first two minutes of that video you ran by, or practically stood on, a TR claymore. Is that an implant or something?
I do agree burnout doesn't happen to everyone and those who do burnout get it for a different reason but i've personally been burning out on planetside due to how much of a farm fest it is...sure farming kills has always been a huge thing but in the recent year or so i feel people have gravitated towards the idea of "farming is all this game is good for now" which is sad considering how i remember it being last year and many years before that (this is during peak hours on emerald mind you). Even now i find myself wanting to play the game but not wanting to play it because i know exactly what to expect once i do log in which unfortunately isn't overwhelmingly positive as far as mindsets go lol.
i take brakes & go play a bunch of uther games when i start to get to bitchy. but it makes me super happy this game exists because there way worse games then thiss & its the only game that keeps me coming back most games i uninstall after a month or lvl cap :( thy just dont make games to last anymore:( .but is drives me craycray that i cant mod this i so wanna make this a aliens/xenomorph VS terminator/AI VS space marines ;) something like warhammer 40k or starcraft that all factions play totally differently a perfect imbalance lol and randomize the map links and starting WG out of 6 so its not the same strat every time & bring back some ps1 systems lol i got a long list of stuff i wish i could do to this game lol call it ever quest 40k craft in the future lol at least 6 races per 3factions to pick from with way deeper class & race trees lol .my bad 4 the tex wall to much coffee agan
Vehicle spam needs to be adressed. The Vehicle prices are too low given how fast the resource regenerates. Overpowered Vehicle Convois need to be more expensive. I am not complaining about it being OP it just needs to be more valuable so you have to play more carefully with your vehicles. I see that problem especially with the Lightnings and MBTs. Whats your Opinion on that?
Right now that is what has me playing other games more. They made NC so appealing to everyone that it's consistently out popping the other 2 factions nearly every night.

Yeah, leaning to prioritize having silly/creative fun over getting objectives and certs can really help with avoiding burnout.
As a solo player for 10 years who dislikes zergs , only daily missions are interesting in the game atm. I barely move through directives

I'm still having fun but my wrists are getting burnt out :/

Avoidance implant
Just like with any other game that absorbs a lot of your attention. Take a break and play another game for a bit, then you can come back fresh.
wonderful content. thank you for sharing. have a good day!❤👍
There Are good things and there are bad things. But life itself Is also changing. So what game has changes.
That is me atm, family situation changed and i just dont get on at good ps2 times =[
