 BAD. Context: What does VS do after getting pushed off gourney dam? A coordinated armor push from the south!  Is it any wonder why emerald lost to miller? How the mighty have fallen! Ass_Burgerer fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Oct 25, 2015 |

When we wandered over to the West of the map we were at a base on a hill and nine VS lightnings turned up. Of course since they couldn't get into the base they were entirely useless.

Looking at that match, I think he made a few big mistakes, but there were also big problems at almost all levels, from an inability to deal with vehicles and air to losing 50/50's and the big blunder at Mulac. The guy at the top always gets burned. But the loss uncovered some deeper and more widespread issues with Emerald's smash team that need to be addressed. Our air capabilities are dismal, a faint shadow of their former strength. And people seem to have lost that Mattherson "if it flies it dies" way of thinking. Miller had 2k AH kills. That's roughly one air hammer kill ever 3.5 seconds.

I, for one, suggest we train the ground peasants in the art of ESF hunting by subjecting them to airhammer/ppa airballs on a more regular basis.

Hajj Podge posted:Waterson has dumbed down our server. I love making fun of waterbabbies, but I think the reality for our air problem is that our air community was particularly toxic and pessimistic - once they all started hating the game, making GBS threads on it, and making GBS threads on everyone who played it, it was only a matter of time before the vast majority of them left en-masse for something else. Strangely, ArchAge took many of them away... but their departure was already predetermined. Contrast with some of the EU pilots I know - many of them are not happy with the air game, but they have their elite AC-like air squads and continue to play and farm and stroke their ego as pilots are known to do. Over 2 years, almost all of Mattherson/Waterson/Connery pilots are gone save but a few, and Miller/Cobalt still loses a lot of their pilots over time (inevitable with a 3 year old game) but have intact communities and more retention. I'm not a euroman so don't take this as absolute truth, but compare BLNG/INI/RO etc to PREY/TGGW/QRY/N. Most of the remaining Emerald pilots play on the ground, burned every known bridge to the community they could think of, or flat out left filled with bitterness and contempt for everything planetside. It's no wonder we have SSGO guys leading in the air for server smash.

It's no wonder we have SSGO guys leading in the air for server smash. Can't say about the Miller outfits but BLNG hasn't played ServerSmashes in a while, and for pretty much exactly the kind of drama you describe (i.e. they're huge twats and everybody hates them). One or two of them show up as volunteer solo players, but that's it.

It's no wonder we have SSGO guys leading in the air for server smash. Neither INI nor RO are known for their pilots, they're both pure infantry barring the one or two exceptions you find in every outfit. MCY often brings 20-25% of the Miller Air and indeed the top killer in that match was one of our pilots - Aircraftdoodle. We're bringing 24 to most games at the moment.

Game ain't dead to me. Cont lock every day, just play on that one. Shoot mens. Run people over in Harasser. Good times had by all. If there's been a massive pop drop I haven't noticed it at all.

Here's the thing that confuses me about the companies doing MMO's. A big thing about LoL is that they have constant patching and tinkering with balance changes because one character is dominant or something is occurring that the developers don't want. These balance changes cause discussion, and continue player engagement. So if you still have a playerbase worth making changes for, why not continue with continual tinkering so players don't get bored? Or is PS2's codebase just a bunch of spaghetti that they no longer understand like it's Warhammer 40k all over again?

LoL can release new characters to "balance" old characters by making them a hard counter. Doesn't really work as well in something like Planetside.Lovely Senorita posted:I'd pay to see the comments in the Planetside 2 code. I expect them to roughly resemble the ones for Goonstation in SS13.

It just amazed me that one of the best-case dream scenarios came true for the game, a new designer taking over who was willing to throw everything away and start over, on a game that nobody played anymore and the company had no reason to spend any more money on.

It boils down to SoE/DBG does not think balance is an important aspect of the game. They're still stuck in the same attitude they had in 1999 when they told people 'you should just group with your friends and not worry about balance!' in response to terrible balance. To SoE balance is this ephemeral thing that doesn't impact the enjoyment of the players or the success of the game.

A thing that a game like Planetside could of course never do, because everything must be ridiculously expensive forever.

If we were using a truly Russian model, loadouts would be whatever you pick off of the dead soldier you marched behind. Thinking about that further, it would be cool if you could deploy without primary/secondary slots filled and grab the first non-launcher gun you find, which you're then stuck with. Incredibly hard to balance and a waste of programming time, but interesting.

Man, I had a locker full of Repeaters and Beamers I took off of dead infiltrators as trophies. That poo poo was awesome. Used to break out the Repeaters sometimes for a lark.. not so much the Beamers.
