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.
Haven't played in like 3-4 Years but I was pretty active on Cobalt during the whole Cobalt Clash phase there.
Played Vanu at the start (to BR100+ I think) but then I found a outfit in NC I really liked the playstyle of, so I switched to NC, squadlead a bit and yeah, was a good time.
Played a lot of sniper but like, close range. And not just the CQC Sniper (was it ghost?), I played every sniper in close range, just loved that shit, I think I even made it to the moonshot (?(auraxium sniper)) that way.
Towards the end I got super into aircrafting and 1v1s, even had my own jaeger account from all the training but then I moved cities and lost the time to play, as I had a new and different life all of a sudden.
Kinda wanna go back sometimes but I sold my pc of and I doubt this random thinkpad is good enough for the slop that is ps2 code base xD
Edit: Oh and since you asked about vehicles: I absolutely love and adore the skywhale, tried to aurax is at some point but lost the drive halfway through but damn, that thing is amazing. Just bonking a unsuspecting lightning is the best feel ever :D
a thinkpad isn't good enough probably i'd agree, but i was playing on a minipc with a ryzen 780m apu and i used optiscaler to convert DLSS to FSR 3.1, now i have an external gpu for this but it was fairly playable at medium like that, i was also running bazzite. it's fairly amazing what performance you can get out of these little machines with linux. i was playing battlefront 2 and darktide and other games fairly well too. not at the best graphics but it was quite playable.
