I never see many talk about planetside 2, so i thought i'd make an account and ask if there are any planetside 2 players out there on lemmy. What faction do you play? whats your favorite class? Vehicle? What do you enjoy most about the game?

I'm also looking for people to play with possibly. But im mostly curious what other linux users play in planetside 2.

I play off an on. I'm on Vanu because their weapons have greater range before the damage turns to shit. (Plus purple is a cooler color)

I always have issues with player rendering though. Like, I will spawn in an active fight, come out of a tower and look out and see nothing but my own team, fly down to ground level and die before it renders in the thousand enemy players who were there the whole time.

do they actually have better damage falloff? i know they don't have bullet drop but i didn't know that? honestly i might agree with others that they're a bit op if they have both better range and no projectile drop. but i've seen all factions win, so it's kind of impossible to tell if it has as drastic an impact as i think. Also for some reason i thought that to counter the no bullet drop for vs that they had less range overall. i.e. cant shoot as far as nc or tr, but you can shoot them from closer more easily without having to account for bullet drop.

bullet drop annoying someone should remove it from reality. gravity must be banned. i dont care if we all start floating upwards it's better than having to move my scope up slightly to get a better shot /joking

I might just be confusing it with bullet drop. They use lasers so that makes more sense that they just don't have bullet drop.
