I'd like to resurrect a FNO style show every Friday showcasing outfits, various discussions etc.

For now it would have to be every Friday at a reasonably early time in the evening, but starting July I can set it up for prime time US.

It would be featured on the Planetside 2 Twitch. there's a lot of changes, players coming & going, outfits changing with the redeploy. It would be interesting to see how outfits fare and with the PS2 releasing on the PS4 I'd also be able to get PS4 outfits on. (I don't have a PS4)

What do you guys think?

Also, anyone here decent with graphics? I'd need help setting up some templates that I can adjust depending on guests and outfits.

Do it because no one at DBG gives a slightest poo poo.

What are the odds of getting killed by a random frag nade thrown into the air because i swear 1/3rd of my deaths are from them. About 30 minutes of play time 12 deaths, 2 from frag grenades just exploding on me with no warning. One i was literally on a roof as an LA then a nade comes from the loving spawn and airbursts right on my chest.

quote:


I've been leading The Enclave since 1998. From our humble beginnings as a small Rainbow Six clan of 10 or so people to our massive Army of thousands in PlanetSide 2. I've seen members come and go, I've seen the good and the bad and been here for every up and down. I've done my very best to keep The Enclave going and make sure that whatever game we "main" is fun, worth our time and one we leave a legacy in.

Since our departure from PlanetSide 2 we've dabbled in a few games and planned to go hard in others. Games that have come and gone were Wildstar, Elder Scrolls: Online and Warlords of Dreanor. We got lucky by avoiding the first two but the third was an unforeseen failure that has left us once again looking for something else. Do I regret my time in WoW? No, no not at all. My time in WoW has given me great memories and friends that I will always hold dear to my heart. Unfortunately that game is gone now and it was an amazing ten years but I will always have those things it has given me and for that I am grateful. I'll look back on it and smile for what it once was but I now know it's time to move on.

I don't have that same fondness of PlanetSide 2 and that may come to as a surprise to many of you. The truth is I always had a strong dislike for PlanetSide 2 but I loved what it allowed me to do with our community. It gave me the chance to organize and play with a lot of people of various skill levels. It did not matter if you were good or bad you always had a place in our platoon and could do your part to help. It's what the game allowed me to do that made it great for us not what the game was. While I am sad at the death of WoW I smile and cheer as I watch PS2 die a slow, painful death.

Anyway enough about those gams because here we are now. Two of our big games are no longer options and we're on the long road to the "new" Dark Age of Camelot. Will it be good? I hope so, but it's a long ways away. We've got to do something, right? I think so. We've decided to play Guild Wars 2 and here is where the question comes in...

..Why are you here? If you're not playing the main game with The Enclave why are you even still here? Don't take this as a "Play or get the gently caress out!" stance because it certainly isn't. I've never been that way and I never will be.

I think GW2 has had a negative stigma around here thanks to certain people whom I will not name and I personally refused to play it because of that. Boredom set in and I said to myself "gently caress it, let me try it!" and I did. And you know what? I really like it. It has a lot of what made PlanetSide 2 good for us and has a healthy mix of what made WoW fun for us. Is it as good as PS2 or WoW in it's prime? Hell no but really what is? Nothing. Nothing will ever be those two games but that doesn't mean we can't play something new and have a good time.

Today while we were playing we had (for the first time) more people NOT playing GW2 in TS3 with us than we had playing with us. We were forced to run around with the main "zerg" and hammer/anvil to be effective and that is not what I want The Enclave to be doing. The Enclave has always been the "main" force i any game we played and GW2 should be no different. This game is very close to what Camelot Unchained is aiming to be and is amazing practice for that game. By not playing not only are you missing out on skills that will help you with a new MMO coming out but you're also kind of hurting us too because GW2 is very much a numbers game.

I've never taken a stance of "play with us or get out" and I still refuse to take such a stance but I have to ask why are you even here? Why are you still using our TS3 and what are you waiting for? This community is far from dead and we're in a game now that is an absolute loving blast to play yet I don't see everybody getting on board for it.

Why? Why aren't you playing? That is my next question.

Why aren't you playing the game our community is focused on? Are you afraid to commit? Does something confuse you about the game? Are you afraid to invest a little over $40 to play a game with more content than most $60 games? What the gently caress is it? We're not hurting or dying in GW2, no not at all but we could be so much more if you'd come play with us and help us make The Enclave that much better. I've always told you guys that you make The Enclave what it is and when we're lacking in participation we're not what we could or should be.

So there you have it boys. Quit being loving retards and come play GW2 with us. Your lovely MOBA clones, DayZ clones, garbage WoT clones and lovely ship games can all wait because we're already in a game that supports our numbers, our play style and is not only what we want but what we need to help grow our community.

I've never understood the thing where making it so low settings conveys a significant advantage over people with higher settings. No vegetation, no smoke, poo poo like that. Leave that stuff in and make some oregon trail trees and bushes that you can't see through. Same with smoke. No textures, just a giant gray blob you can't see through.

Even after I built my new computer I kept vegetation off, it's amazing how many people you'll shoot that are crouching thinking they are hidden in a bush. Smoke I kept on because when you mess with that setting it also removes bullet trails which makes using an AV turret kind of hard.

This is literally what World v World v World is, there is absolutely zero strategy to it. Get your entire zerg to an outpost and get full supplies, build a hundred catapults and shoot down the walls and rush the capture point while spamming your AOE attack. Other options is building a trebuchet somewhere where its a pain in the rear end to remove, plop a hundred arrow carts to defend it and just wait literal hours until the walls of a maxed out keep is destroyed. Defense is building a hundred arrow carts in the right spots to not be hit by enemy AOE and rain your AOE on the enemy.

It really is what killed GW2 for me, I was really into WvWvW in the early days before it became the zergfest, aoe spam, trebuchet cheese it is today. On top of the server where goons play having nearly no WvW presence.

Everybody I talk to who is familiar with PS2 quit because of release-era HE or the extremely poor optimization. Some because of the hex crash exploit, and the rest because of ZOE.

Honestly it seems like anybody who makes it to the "quit due to burnout" phase is like the 0.01%

Can't wait for the next wave of "oh gently caress this poo poo" veteran player emigration once they walk back the LMG nerfs but leave the buffs

Remember the community backlash when they made low graphics play at medium graphics instead? Same poo poo will go down if they force certain visuals into low graphics.

That legit made the game unplayable for people. Let them keep their 64bit graphics, just make it so there are legitimate drawbacks to running like that.

e: cap the FPS on low settings at 30. Can you imagine the freakout?

If you're going there for gunplay depth you're going to be disappointed. ADSing is what you do when you want to get headshot chained from across the map from a hipfired LMG

If you like moving like a greased up air hockey puck then it's for you, but not if you're hoping for a PS2-style combat experience.

But poo poo, it's free so give it a shot. Just never ADS

The HA spergs will riot every time :soe: talks about making their class balanced. See the original exclusion of the .75 ADS LMGs from the .75 ADS LMG nerfs. The proposed overshield nerf in '14 and the current proposed and abandoned LMG changes.

The spergs will burn the game to the ground to defend the lovely stale infantry metagame that pads their KDR.
