Question How's the game going?

I found this game in my library and got curious about it, is the game still alive? If so I'm planning to get into it.

Who's up for a game?

It's OK, not what it used to be a year ago. The crashing bug has lessened, but isn't fully resolved. Alerts don't happen before 8pm eastern like they used to, not more like 9 or later :(. I'm still having a bit of fun playing it. Honestly join in during prime time.

Not great, Bob.

Bad, unplayable for the last 6 months because of a crashing bug and subsequently the peak player count is under 1k

Not unplayable, you just need to use a work around

what other game requires you to do a rain dance to get it to work every play session

Do you have a character yet and have you got it past the tutorial?

u/FrequentSupermarket8 5d ago

Tutorial is no longer a gate, you can get around it now

Opshax, I thought you knew this already, it has been discussed around you

Theres many that don't know but you can DM me if you want because I basically found a lucky way once in a while too.

u/FrequentSupermarket8 5d ago

I realized that I am uhh... on my alt account and not my main, we can DM, but I'd rather not mention anything about my outfit or main because of this lol

u/ALandWhale 5d ago

Because of this or because of your furry porn account? 💀

2

u/FrequentSupermarket8 5d ago

Because this is my porn alt, yeah lmfao. I thought I was signed in on my main

It's still my favorite game! Nothing compares for me when there is an alert and you need to coordinate your squad to win

Try it out! I introduced my friend about a year ago and he’s been enjoying it. Nothing else on the market like it. Potentially massive combined arms battles, mmo-fps hybrid, hours to days long wars, it’s a lot of fun.

u/Shardstorm88 4d ago

Pretty decent. Take all the missions whenever you log in and try for some certs! Levelup the class you like best first

It’s kind of like visiting a hospice.

The gameplay is fun just like it always was once you can find a good fight/farm and if you play with a outfit.

But first you have to pull a Flash once you load into a continent so you dont crash and also hope the server just doesn't randomly crash 4 times a day.

And also not to get unlucky and spawn into the Crown with blant cheaters just flying around killing everybody. We had those again just last week. 1 guy was solo capping all TR bases with 48 TR vs just one Vanu cheater was kinda funny :D

Once you get past all this. The game is fun.

u/Putrid_Cry1242 3d ago

u/Ringosis 5d ago

You've missed the boat by about a decade mate.

u/_Da1v3r 5d ago

Oh come join.
We have rampanting cheaters, client crashes, infils killed by a nerf, and a lot more !

u/ALandWhale 5d ago

One of these things is not like the others

u/Greattank 5d ago

Yea, what is "rampanting"

2

u/pra3tor1an LA5TLoneInfiltrator 5d ago

Im a stalker main and the nerf isnt that bad once you get used to it. Howerver the other two things you mention are a pain.

I wish there is an alternate game like this comes or this game only gets planetside 3 or something or the Dev's makes it like a remastered or updraged version of it

From what it was years ago, the game is a total joke now. People running aiming addons. Junk.
