like the "p2w" airdrop thing, its a big loud as gently caress plane that drops green smoke that everyone on the server will be able to see and go toward

if you manage to get to the airdrop before someone else does and takes your stuff, before you get killed, before a loving bear kills you, or whatever else you might get a gun/guns, you might get like some loving water or whatever

apparently they are going to make guns rarer drops in the crates and also make the drop zone a lot bigger, meaning good loving luck getting your crate

its not so much p2w as an RNG slotmachine with zombies and KOS assholes standing next to you waiting for you to pull the lever so they can steal whatever coins drop out of the machine

Honestly I think if the game was just :10bux: :10bux: pay to play there would be a lot less rage about it. Smedley is already on thin ice with a lot of people because of SWG and Planetside 2 Implant bullshit. Regardless of how they ultimately decide to tweak the air drops, it was a massive PR fuckup. Smedley still seems like a glue sniffing idiot, and their game has made an awful first impression.

Guys, do you understand yet that forums poster "Eonwe" does not care about p2w, and he needs everyone to know it, because any criticism of this poo poo game is met staunchly with his "Personally I don't care" demeanor.

There are valid critcisms of this game. The fact that the developers outright lied. The fact that you're paying money for a buggy soon-to-be f2p game. The fact that its p2w model will likely kill the game. The fact that the game is absolutely terrible and offers really nothing fresh or new (I know, its "EA").

But I forgot, this is a games thread, if I don't just blow this games dick I am being an internet troll :rolleye:

This thread has a very SimCity feel to it. I give it about... two months before everyone has turned on it except for a select few who defend their poor choices to the death.

Air drops seem pretty simple to fix if that many people are really bitching about them. Rename it to Supply drop, have it have a RNG box of survival supplies including gear, flares, high end food & water, and ammo. Include zero guns. Its still a high value target for other players to fight over and doesn't give anyone that pay2gun feeling. Bam.

I've been watching streams all day. Some highlights

- Vod totally loving up because of volume settings
- Phase shifting zombies with zero AI totally ignoring you til they teleport on your face and gently caress you
- Flying cars. Cohh's stream had a hilarious moment with this
- Invisible angry bears
- Items you just can't pick up
- Twitch chat going berserk from air drops

Basically as the game stands now it's a massive pile of poo poo. Hopefully they use the cash infusion from this Preorder "Early Access" to polish this turd into something decent. I'm losing confidence in that by the moment though seeing how Smedley has treated this whole airdrop clusterfuck. Watching people explode from their incredibly over-hyped expectations not being met is great in its own right.

Basically, GOTY for drama.

This is the typical next step in the Smedolution development cycle.

We already passed the HYPEZONE/SO MANY FEATURES iteration, now we're entering into the BACKLASH CONTROL/OHGODWHY iteration.

Next will be the IM SO SORRY, FORGIVE ME REDDIT phase which will happen in a few days, then the FEATURE GUT/GUYS JUST GIVE THIS GAME 6 MONTHS step.

Finally, when the dust settles, Smedley will announce several new handgun skins for Planetside 2, and then disappear again into the shadowy depths that birthed him.

that doesn't change the fact that you can have fun loving with other people in the game and at least you don't have to read Cyrillic to navigate
