      The whole MMO aspect of the game only pertains to the player Number size of the game. All of the changes that have forced MMO aspects into the game have failed in my opinion. Just look at the sanctuary. What purpose does it have other than wasting a couple seconds over your time to warp to another continent? Is it to mean with your squad? Well VR training can do that. Is for the NPCs? We'll, they add no value(running around "speaking" to 4 npcs for holloween mission peak gameplay) to the gameplay and the missions tab can take over all npc interactions. This isn't an MMO no matter how many "MMO" features the devs force in.

    To be honest, already after the Bastion/Outfit Wars updates it was pretty clear that the devs had lost completely track of their priorities.
    When things are added they are either half-baked or completely useless, unless they straight break previous systems that somehow reached a point of balance over the years.
    I would have understood if fishing was like a side-feature added for quests/objectives for the Oshur scenario/questlines, or if they sneaked it in as an "extra" in a juicy update... but selling this trivial minigame (which risks only to bring people away from the fighting zones, if there any worth-while rewards) as a standalone update is guaranteed to make the playerbase angry.
    No professional company/dev team would plan anything like that while the rest of the game burns and expect the community to be glad for the "update".

    Nah you're not seeing the vision here.
    Next they add farming actual crops and hunting Auraxian wildlife, with ANT/Corsair attachments for harvesting and carrying capacity. These small vehicles will then drop off the crops and game at one of the large/major facilities where they are stored. Sunderers and galaxies will then load up and transport the goods to the faction warpgates where they will be offloaded in exchange for certs and strategic resources. Farmers, fishers, and hunters are paid after delivering to the facility, while large deliverers are paid more on arrival at the warpgate (warpgate does not accept small deliveries). Players can attempt to do everything on their own or take on dedicated roles within groups. Players can also raid goods-carrying vehicles and capture goods-holding facilities to take them for their own.

    In fact, I returned to the game about a month ago, excited to relive the awesome battles I used to experience years ago. Unfortunately, the population isn't as large anymore, but there were still some big battles - not epic, but at least sizeable. However, the worst thing I encountered was witnessing immortal sunderers that essentially counter everything in the game. What good is a defensive turret if it can't destroy a vehicle? What's the point of an anti-vehicle shield if the ability to drive through it is so easy? And there’s so much more. The game has become a matter of simply hitting 'join' to teleport to a base, shoot, and then 'join' again. Honestly, they might as well delete the whole map and just make the game instanced in bases lol. Vehicles are completely unbalanced thanks to recent updates, as are the base defense elements and now this.... f*cking fishing. Oh, and lest I forget, cheaters are everywhere but the priority is the fish. So honestly, I’m done with Planetside 2 I want to keep the good memories and not spoil them.

    I was under the impression that this is a side project for the new developers so they could figure out how this games code works. A lot of stuff that they have added in the recent past has had some lets say growing pains. This "patch" has mostly reused assets and very little depth. Like they were testing somethings to see how it handled when exposed to a live-ish environment. I get that it can seem bleak, but I think this shows that they are hard at work. This was something fun they could do, is it poor timing? Yes, is the community jaded? Yes. I will wait and see where this goes. Time will tell if the community overreacted or reacted appropriately. I know you and everyone else are burnt out and hurt from how the past has been, I remember the years of content drought and how we received broken promise after broken promise and moved goal post after moved goal post.

    Planetside 2's development is a total enigma these days. We don't know how many devs there are on the team, we don't know how much money's being spent towards our game, and we don't know how much control Toadman's team has over the continued development of our game. Fishing was for sure a side-gig though. Toadman Interactive has financial advisors. No team of theirs is gonna look at an FPS title and think of fishing as a financial investment within the game. All I can really say from a studio's perspective is the fishing update likely isn't a big loss of time on the developer's side of things. It really just screams to me "Here are some certain individuals who work for us who had nothing better to do while we were working on other things, so we allowed them to work on a little project of their own until we need them again." Because in the same time frame that this update must have taken place during, the studio was prioritizing bugs and the cheater issues. If the studio really is big enough to work on the Assault update alongside fishing, sound reworks, and battleye/cheater prevention, then great maybe we have nothing to worry about and they've been working on Assault to this day. But in the mean time, I'd assume that it's a small team and that the Assault update is on hold. As for how much the fishing content will add to the workloads of continued development down the road? I've no clue lol. Maybe this will never push to live for specifically that reason.
    Right now I'm kind of seeing hints/vibes that they're they're outsourcing some of the work that's been going on. If that's the case, then they're probably just trying to get the most of their contracts and outsourcing. Since the cheating became an issue I wouldn't be surprised if the contents of the Dev Letter posted earlier this year simply got put on hold in order to dedicate that manpower towards keeping the game playable, and that just freed up time for other employees and contractors. We also don't know if it was Toadman who started that Assault content or if it was RPG right before they transitioned. It's no secret that the transition from RPG to Toadman has been a long one, with obvious complications (example: apparently only one or two guys in RPG knew how to issue cert refunds and Toadman can't figure out how they did it). At the time they had probably hired/contracted somebody for a set period of time to help them fix the sound bug and make new stuff - so if they have nothing to do but gather data, might as well put em to use while they're in the studio with us. Hence the gun audio revamps that we didn't ask for but they did anyway. Artists too. They're doing some ExtraLife 2024 stuff and they're still here so might as well commission them for some fishing art. It's either that or the guy who was coding Assault is also a good artist lol. It's all convenience-based. Again, this isn't something a dev team for an FPSMMO would have willingly prioritized if they had better things to do, especially things they had already promised. This was, as Bob Ross best puts it, a happy little accident, and if it happened for that reason, then the PTS fishing update is okay in my book.

    A less cynical person would say that the new devs looked at the huge crate of half-finished assets and gameplay updates and tried to take out something to finish it within a reasonable timeframe and budget. And that is just a shame that it it happened to be a gag-update that got fished out (ha) from that box.
    A more cynical person might viewed this as the devs purposefully choosing to implement an unrelated feature as a FU to a community that has no faith in them, as if to say - we get paid no matter what happens. You do not like us? Feeling is mutual, have fun with your new update.

    If they had a decent anti-cheat and the community didn't consistently gaslight eachother that cheaters aren't extremely common I would play the game.

    Tbh this could have been a one dev thing, it's not unheard of for devs to add weird features just to test the feasability of something making actual sense for the game.
    If that is really the case, then they really chose the perfect theme for it to be completely impossible to guess what the hell is this thing testing for

    Planetside 2 was my favorite game for many years. It sucks to see them adding pointless garbage to it that distracts from its main purpose. It's a futuristic war game: soldiers aren't supposed to be sitting around fishing in spawn. Why did the current dev team think this was a good idea? Who even asked for this?

    Man i grew up with that game. Started back in the beta while looking for something free and new to play, being the poor little kid i was. I learned everything about fps from it. From Aiming, Positioning, Situational Awareness and the like.
    Seeing it like this makes me sad. But i also couldn't care less anymore. The game i remember so fondly died years ago.

  • @AMDeZani
    @AMDeZani 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It certainly is the decision of all time.
    For the vast majority of players, the last updates that affected them were in March 2023 (MAX revive change, Nimitz Reactor buff) or November 2022 (Arsenal Update iteration)
    That means that for most people, the game is frsnkly the same today as it was two years ago. Oshur and CtF "removal"/OP Sunderers aside.
    And yet this is what we get.
    I know theyre working on more. We can see it in the files. But they have, since taking over development in December 2023, not touched the balance spreadsheet once.
    The guns you were using, the vehicles you were driving, are will be the same in 2025 as they were in 2022.
    They, as PlanetSide 2 developers have for the past 12 years, are missing the forest for the trees. Theyre so obsessed with NEW STUFF that theyre forgetting entirely the simple iteration of the game we signed up for those 12 long years ago.

  • @GustavoMsTrashCan
    @GustavoMsTrashCan 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Toadmen's plan is to (simply) use fishing as a "smoke wall" to hide the real, core problem this game has (which is clientside and on how easy is to cheat in this game due to it) with fishing.
    ...which is a 10/10 idea, mind you, considering the fact this game existed for over 10 years and they -STILL haven't figured out a way to circumvent its core issues even less abandoning the game development altogether with a fresh, new, non-clientside FPS game. So might as well follow the "construction mentality" and add some ways for players to not interact with players altogether... in a PvP-centric FPS game.

    There is actually a cool video about why fishing in video games, even if its out of place, helps the game to retain players and keep motivation up by offering an entirely different gameplay aspect that does not need your full attention.
    Go search that video up, its worth a watch.
    Other than that, i completely understand why one would be upset about the dev team when the last updates werent the coolest

    Quite honestly this game hasn't gone anywhere the past 10 years else then downhill. Can't remember the last update that i felt like "Wow, this really feels like something good." As planetside 2 use to be that one game you always could fall back to, that kind off fell off. I don't know why but honestly a lot of the previous things that was fun is now gone. Ti Alloys use to be a place where at lowpop hours you could have a decent fight without being HE spammed to death. Esamir use to be a decent fight aswell in the center at lowpop hours but now it's just tank galore, same with hossin and basically all maps. The maps are too open now and it's worse then ever with HE spamming, against infantry and indar use to be that one map you could play without being completely nuked by HE. Now that's gone. Infantry basically got completely out of the loop and most of the infantry you will see is infiltrators. Loads and loads of infiltrators. Either sitting in coners or sitting on a hill 1.5 km away with a sniper.
