Oh lordy. So I went to check out a crate drop and got shot at so I ran. They chased me and kept shooting so I turned around and killed them with my bow. Turns out they were goons who didn't hear me asking in Mumble if any other goons were in the area. Sorry, guys. I got all your stuff except for the backpacks at least.  I'm totally keeping this hat, though.

I know it goes against the spirit of being a goon, but a little bit of comms discipline would go a long way when we've got a bunch of goons in one channel. Splitting off into subchannels because people can't stop talking over one another isn't a good solution if it just means we're going to kill each other in the wilds. At the very least, hit the VOIP button to ID yourself if someone is screaming at you.

Republicans posted:Didn't that last server reset break in-game VOIP? Nope. The situation seems to be that whoever VOIPs first has their name pop up on-screen for everyone. If other people start talking before that person has finished, their names do not appear. However, if they wait for the first person to finish, their name should appear. Yeah, it's probably buggy, but it kind of works, so... Pay attention to VOIP and don't just assume you can reply in Mumble if people are serious about using subchannels. E: Regarding what Eonwe said - I mostly agree, but we had an airdrop land close to camp, and goons started telling the airdrop raiders to drop down a channel. Half the people who went after the drop moved channels, the others didn't, and bad things happened. We still got the contents of the drop, but unnecessary goon-on-goon violence occurred, and it would have probably been avoided if goon camp had just quieted down about berry picking while the airdrop was retrieved.

I went looking for some of their PS2 snafus but I didn't want to put that much effort into it right now. Maybe tomorrow. One of the first ones was the issues with camouflage. They wanted it to be cosmetic only, give no bonus, and not be confusing to a player what faction someone was on. This pretty much didn't happen except for the cosmetic only ones. There were plenty of ways to pretty much hide what faction colors you had on by camo. From the first game and some basic game design, you don't want teams or classes to be hard to identify. Normally the outline shape and color of clothing should be used to do this. An example of good design is TF2 where it is pretty easy to tell who is who and what is what. In PS2 they promised that then threw it out the window. There were other issues like things from Planetside 1 not carried over to Planetside 2, a few being map designed for vehicles, air gods, sky guards, drivers / gunners in tanks, faction specific light vehicles, and some other poo poo. But it normally boils down to they have a plan and stick to it but their PR guy, Smedley, or who ever is speaking to the consumers end up promising everything including poo poo not in the plans. Then they apologize and move on since people will still give them money.

OK so just finished a BR 3rd place. The fog stopped hurting me and I got lost inside it. The server said the game ends in 5 min and the purse is split between survivors. I must have sat in a corner for like 30 minutes and the game never ended. So I ran back into a town shooting wildly thinking I was disconnected and got blown away by someone prone in a field. I don't even know. I guess the ties aren't up yet or some poo poo. What happens if the last 2 people never find each other then?

I won a battle royale and all I got was a lousy t-shirt. It's hard to read in screenshots due to compression and the fact the shirt is wet but it says 'playerunknown's BATTLE ROYALE'  apparently it's an account-bound tshirt skin. pretty cool.

PSA: If you find a letter (don't know what else to call it) that has a description of a location of a cache, take the letter to the place, find the cache, and shove the letter in. It'll spawn a bunch of cool stuff like weapons and ammo.

From what I remember of PS2 the main issue was they didn't properly playtest base design and metagame. Bases were horrible as they were designed around chokepoints so at some point defenders would just get camped in their spawns, not so sure what the metagame issues were but they changed back to the same linked base design as PS1 to fix it. I read that they've heavily nerfed the rate at which F2P players can unlock stuff to get people to pay more money.

As a PS2 Megasperg, I can say: SOE tends to take five steps forward (  ) and 2d6 steps back ( to  ) every patch. Sometimes they add a bunch of cool things that genuinely improve the gameplay while only breaking one thing that half the people loved, sometimes they patch out a bunch of bugs while reintroducing a flock of bugs they've already patched out.Smedley is genuinely a bad influence in his games. You can be sure that if he says he's going to do something, even if it sounds good, they'll gently caress it up on his word. If something happens and you haven't heard it was going to happen, it's probably a good thing for the best. On the other hand, sometimes they will take a bunch of people saying things ironically and treat them seriously and actually buff one of the most powerful weapons in the game. Then a different one. Then they'll castrate a super-overpowered weapon and hugely overbuff one that's in a good place in the same patch. Seriously, roll a die on each balance tweak. To date, they have treated me well enough. They've made some grave errors, but nothing unforgiveable and PS2 is wholly playable. As I read this thread, I'm very optimistic for H1Z1.
