Anyone a little bit worried?

[Violation]

Hi fellow gamers, I left planetside (A year ago) and then got into this game (A long time ago now) and have followed it closely. All I can say is it's simply stunning...But I have a few concerns...

. Lack of pve enemies...Lots of games have well over 20 while this has roughly 4 I think

. The 100 men battles (or is it 150?) It won't really be a mmofps if there are 100 men battles. It will feel more like battlefield 2 or something... Yes there can be 5000 people per server, but what is the use? To walk around and talk to but that's it ( I beleive) I want to see huge planetside like battles!

. The lack of high level content...Why would I want to get to such a high level if someone who just joined the game still has a chance of beating me easily ( Not saying they would ) For example a lv 50 V 2 lv 1's.I'm worried that if your caught out (like 2v1 in a little area) you are screwed

. Lack of armour, so far everyone looks the same

. What are they going to do about outnumbered races (most likely the alts who I will be by the way)


Those are just things on the top of my head. Yes these things may change but i'm not sure if they will. What are your views? (ps. luckily I own at cs and ut!!!)

I think this company knows what it is doing... but they're gonna need to add content quickly. I'm diappointed with the lack computer enemies, perhaps they can add some more. I don't know what to suggest for highend content...

not sure wut pve enemys are

. The 100 men battles (or is it 150?) It won't really be a mmofps if there are 100 men battles. It will feel more like battlefield 2 or something...

ill have to agree with you there there shouldnt be a cap on how many ppl in a battle.

. The lack of high level content...Why would I want to get to such a high level if someone who just joined the game still has a chance of beating me easily ( Not saying they would Smile ) For example a lv 50 V 2 lv 1's.I'm worried that if your caught out (like 2v1 in a little area) you are screwed

If your skilled you wont have a prob with level 1's. In the gamespy article it said "if you're a newb with a level 50 character, be aware that a level one with skills might just send you home crying."" so if you suck, ya lvl 1s get own you...but if your good, it probably wont be a problem.

. Lack of armour, so far everyone looks the same

patience my friend there will be more

. What are they going to do about outnumbered races (most likely the alts who I will be by the way)

Remember, they are not SOE, they will find a way.

lack of comp enemys ? have either of you seen the lots of baddies video ? they will be SWARMING all over. also there are diff types of them. im thinking it wont be like with guildwars where they just wander around until you come into range of one of them and that one chases you. no, im thinking it will be your walking along and out of a ally way a arse load of mutants come out. And lvls do mean somthing, which is more stuff. i believe the higher the lvl the more vehicals, wep and/or armor. as for 100 men battles, if its orginised it wont be like that hopfully. as for armor, im guessing they are supposed to so far just because the company doesnt want to give too much away or they want it to look like entire armys where they all wear the same. im sure at some point we will see customizable stuff. and the alts/outnumbered races ..... im trying to steer the clan im in towards alts if possible, but im thinking the same thing, but that may be fixed by the " mutant liberation group ". if im getting this right they may be able to control mutants to a degree, seeing as the chick in the " lots of baddies " video is most likely one of them.

I meant lack of enemies as in different types (common sense) I mean, I don't want to be shooting the same type of enemy a hundred times a day (boring)

[Guyver]

Well of course there are enemies noy revealed yet. They are probably going to have several kinds of hybrids that shoot projectiles. Biological ones(spit) and ballistic ones(bullets)
We all don't know. ALOT of this is being kept under wraps. Theres a good reason too boot.

That reason is the same reason put behind everygame.

Competition.

yes the Hybrid are divided into four sub-species. I thought this same thing. It could become tedious. It is possible that more will arrive later. But then in PS there were no NPCs and this is not WoW we are about to play.

Maybe you should get back to PS? Imagine playing Bf2 on a much larger map with a 64 person limit per zone (32 from each faction) and the battle never ends. Make Bf2 a persistent server with safe zones for the various factions to assemble and prepare.

I have to aggree with SniperKev on this one. Knowing what you are doing and working with your team is a much better game than creating some Uber Character that can own everyone. I prefer this level playing field. The act of leveling should only up up more opportunities for the character through skill enhancement, better armor and better weapons.

Every ten levels you have access to different armor.

Do you recall what SOE did to balance underpopulated empires? They gave them slight advantages. It might be increased XP gain or health.

Use these skills in Hux and you will own there too.

Absolutely. They are leaving a lot to our imagination. Watch the "LOts of Baddies" video and watch for that hulking monstrosity with a pair of earth shattering cannon's attached to its arms /drool :shock:

I'm thinking they are going to have some fantastic boss battles for the pve instances. If you've ever played Serious Sam co-op, it will feel kinda like that but more tactical and not as cartoony. I'm pumped :D

[winged]

well i doubt your looking at npc's the way i am because it looks like you'll have hybrid alts... thats what 4 kinds at least there? then you have npc groups the hybrid liberation frount? and whichever faction you are there should be enemy npc's too? i think that is plenty considering its a mmofps not an mmorpg.

[Cyinn]

As for limited NPCs i read it as 4 sub catagories each having different species in those catagories.

[Backus]

meh, I still agree with the creator of this thread there's not a ton of variation between baddies yet... I'd like to see some form of Flying mutants

[Enemy21]

Remember, they are not SOE, they will find a way

*shivers*

[vivin]

would be nice to have flying and ground, means you would have different strategies for different environments

[Markus]

also, dunno if any one pointed this out, the makers DID say not all missions are pve, but some of them will be you trying to reach this before the other race does , or you trying to keep them from doing somthing, or you ambushing them, now THATS fun. never knowing what they will do to complete the mission, they may even take another route then you thought and you have to rethink your plan. other people are the greatest foes, with pve the intelligence can only go so far, with real people acting as the enemy in actule missions to earn lvls, its more exciting and in a sense realistic stratigy wise.

[FallHammer]

Remeber there are also human type hybrids that most likely carey weapons so not only will we have to wry about zerg/alien type things running at us. We also got to take out the NPC's caring weapons .


Plus remeber there will probay be enemy faction NPC missions as well.... o man this is going to be sweet.... :mrgreen:

[nickfury]

To answer your question, yea I'm a little worried...

:shock:

[Travelstar]

im thinking it wont be like with guildwars where they just wander around until you come into range of one of them and that one chases you. no, im thinking it will be your walking along and out of a ally way a arse load of mutants come out.

That would be really awsome. Good pointing on that. I also hope that there is " world pve " not just instances.

[Zulu]

i think there is
