    in fact, i would ENCOURAGE people, go play other shit. go do other shit. we're a community, not just a PS2/BF group. come say hi and let us know what you're up to, but for fuck's sake don't get so sick of a game that it causes you to quit the team. we've still got SC to look forward to, and who knows what else. don't feel obligated to show up, but keep in touch. </2p>

    I'm trying to get into War Thunder. Just been playing Arcade and getting first place here and there (of course at noob ranks it's not that hard)

    This thread was a good read for me and im glad i took the time to read it. I haven't been playing since beta so i dont have the same level of burnout as many others or the days spent in game. I thought i was burned out after i stopped leading platoons then i realised i had spent over 1000 + hours in the game before i had even started playing. So im not burned out from playing. Far from it i look forward to playing properly on a pc in the next few months. Doing directives, hitting my 2nd BR 100, Auraxiums, accuracy, kdr, one day snipiing mustarde, PAL, CC, Skrims, TK Eienstein, Get a domination on Urechi. For me that is a list of things i have to do/achieve in the game (completionist mentality).

    I do agree that and for a long time ive known that the best part of this game isnt the game itself its the guy/gal on your left and right or up and down (for you flyboys) . If i had not fallen into playing with good groups of people i probably would have bailed out at br 30 and gone back to battlefield. Pretty glad i didnt though thats gone downhill but i would still play it anyway. Point is as good as planetside is for all its floors and not having a real meta game I would say most of us here (self included) would have bailed or not have been quite as committed to playing it as intensely as we have had it not been for those around us. Not just teammates but that guy on the scoreboard above you that place on the server rankings, that guy/gal who has 40 more kills than you for that one gun on the stats site. (Though what is a meta in a sandbox ??)

    I would have to agree that, Ps2 is stilll better than most AAA releases. Destiny looks like shit (so dissapointed), Battlefield is heading down Call of duty road (its a shame). Day Z is never going to happen, if it was going to happen it would have happened already. Its a point in case of the industry at the moment of to bring in as higher volume of people as you can to online multiplayer gaming to make a game as non nieche and skill specific as possible. As well as having a minimal learning curve (the chnages to the game as we approach the release to ps4). This change in mentality is a total reversal of the principles of gaming i have known the entire time i have been a gamer. You put the time in you get dunked you climb the curve you get to the top you dominate with said skill as reward for the time and effort you have placed into honing said skill or ability. X thing in game is OP #Higby PlZ nerf.

    Then there is the community, we all know the state of things so i dont need to go there. The official forums and reddit are a complete and utter fucking mess. (opinion here) The devs would honestly be better off taking a panel of top players to decide how they nerf /buff things or why the fuck even in the first place. #Higby plz. The inabilty of a development team to make concrete decision on how certain game mechanics works shows a lack heindsite and vision (opinion again).

    On a personal note, im starting to get back up on my feet again. Im back at work and getting my security licence so i can have a second job (needs M0ney$ for new PC). If you have noticed i havent been in game or at training of late. I am also trying to get accepted back into my degree after i was unenrolled from my degree last year, which is proving kind of difficult. Ill be around on friday and saturday nights US ECT. So i too will be going into the 'filthy casual/weekend warrior' status.

    If you read it all thankyou for listening.
    Cheers.

    If you need help getting into Realistic ask me or Bacon as we play a good amount of time and could squad up and teach you some tricks.

    Thanks for the offer. Is there any big tips you have in terms of keybinds? I think I have to go through and reorganize them.

    It's a goal of mine too.
    I almost did it the other day too, I got a body shot on him (ugh i'm such a scrub right?) but I'm pretty sure he didn't die after that so I didn't even get an assist :(

    I rebind Max elevator to Shift to pull tighter turns and elevation maneuvers and min value to ctrl to pitch down, rockets to r, bombs to space only.

    Just to give you guy's some feedback on my status:

    Planetside have been unplayable for me for the last 1-2 months now. PS2 are having some problems with level3 routes, and this makes my ping go up to 500. So I decided to take a break from it until this issue is resolved.

    I have been playing Heroes & Generals, BF4, and if you guy's have any other suggestions, I'm up for it. :)

    I'm so glad this thread has taken a positive direction. This lull in action is HEALTHY for us. But for those of you who are still out there piling up a body count, keep squading up and keeping the dream alive!

    I have my usual TR routine starting in the evenings, farming from around 830pm-11pm. If you offer me beer, I will 4th faction :)

    I think it might be cool if we posted what we've been playing

    [​IMG]

    I have like twice the play time in Planetside 2 of every other game in my library combined, and almost half of my library I haven't touched yet.
