Point of Existence 2 v1.7 Client Released

Re: Point of Existence 2 v1.7 Client Released

my game crashes to desktop as soon as the map ends loading :\

Noticed this issue with a few of my clan mates... to solve it we did a few various things.

Started off to reinstall the MOD, then patch 1.41 over it again.

Otherwise I think the biggest thing was sometimes a few of them got a corrupted file so they had to download it again.

Re: Point of Existence 2 v1.7 Client Released

This mod has so much potential but imo, it ain`t gonna save it.
It is just too much like BF2. I played it 5 min ago. All i saw was flag hopping, helis flying around shooting tanks and random spots, some lone infantry.

The sounds are good, but the same mistake BF2 has, they are too damn low. I mean, footsteps are louder than a gun being fired next to you.

The mod needs to be more bulky, rugged, etc, you know what I mean. Just a tad slower, a tad harder, a tad more realistic. It`s just another arcade-BF2 atm, which is a failure imo.

I guess now I got to wait for FH2 and see if that will give me the hectic, no bs war I want.

I want to love the mod (I love ukraine weapons, sounds and the overall feeling) but the arcade just ruins it for me.

My dollah.

PS: I did find the M16 (without the m203) very pleasant with the small change it had.

Yes, but they are from a somewhat outside view and should give you an idea of what to expect.

There are REviews from our 1.1.5 release out there still, but I havent seen any for our new release (it just came out yesterday)

That's one of the biggest problems for PoE2 is the Conquest mode and gameplay. Conquest mode just has to go...

They do have other modes, but in all fairness the server admins dont want to run them (?). I've been trying to look for a server running the incursion mode, but I haven't had any luck yet. I think its really hard to get people to move away from conquest mode unless you remove it completely.

Re: Point of Existence 2 v1.7 Client Released

Conquest= one of the worst f ups DICE did.
It was like what, 2004, and still only one gamemode. Makes you think, what the f were they doing during the development years?

Re: Point of Existence 2 v1.7 Client Released

Yeah, DICE is really hung up on the sandbox mode of conquest, they couldn't even do an assault line mode right for BF2142's NS booster pack - it's just conquest with the ability to cap out the main base on one side.

Anyways, enjoying the mod. Some of the maps seem a little over ambitious with regards to what most people’s rigs can handle, I kind of like the fact that it plays close to BF2 (conquest mode aside) – I die enough already without it being one-shot-kill type gameplay.

Re: Point of Existence 2 v1.7 Client Released

Flaghopping will always be bad in conquest if servers are running large maps when the appropriate number of players is not there to make it enjoyable. In POE2 almost all 64 conquest maps have just 5 flags. When the server is full its a solid low number that usually creates less flag hopping. Of course if there is zero teamwork happening on a server then players tend to zerg around and not defend...to me thats not a problem with conquest. If an entire team wants to move from flag to flag on Fallen/Orel then I can't fault the gamemode. If a server is running 64 player maps with 20 people then I can't fault the gamemode. Where you can fault the gamemode(or the map designer) is in maps like Dragon Valley or Fushe Pass...just too many flags.

Re: Point of Existence 2 v1.7 Client Released

I still play like I am playing a game of DC. I pick a strategic flag, attack and hold it. For the whole round. Conquest can be like that, but the players suck more than they used to. The idea of being on the winning side isn't enough. Everyone wants a big kill number, which is more important than their team marching to victory. :shakehead:

Conquest is very good to play.. its a great mode. I just don't like the idea of playing 5mins one life with a FPS game cause then people get bored and drop from the server. Thats why you won't find any running it for only a few wanting it.
