Just Me, or is This Getting Boring?

HiroshiChugi · 2013-03-25, 08:27 AM

Is it just me, or are these forums getting a tad bit boring... All I see when I hop on to this website, is nerf this, nerf that. Bitch here, bitch there. It's just full of whining and misunderstanding, and not appreciation of what we already have. There's hardly any constructive criticism anymore... Do you guys think we can amp it up a bit here? I mean, com eon. I know we're all better than this... Right...? o.o

I'd argue the forums are a lot more constructive now than the first two months of the games release.

Are you sure you're referring to PSU or the official forum?

Well it's human nature to focus on the things that aren't working instead of the things that are working.
For example you don't call a superintendent to tell him/her that your sink is working fine, you call to tell him/her that there's a problem that needs fixing.
As to the criticism being unconstructive... Can't claim that I agree. Sure, you will be able to find examples here and there but overall I do believe that people are being constructive.

It's just that, for some reason, this all seems to be just a tad bit boring, and not in a good way whatsoever...

This should brighten your day. I wish she were the weather man for my local news, would certainly be more interesting.

1. If I could watch it... xD

2. I'm not just complaining about PSU, I'm talking about Planetside 2 as well. it just the same shit, different day. Zerg this, zerg that. No we don't need tactics! JUST FOLLOW THE GOD DAMNED GROUP! Whatever happened to the original Planetside 2 gameplay... I miss that.

Well, concerning the game, all i can say is i was hoping for it to be something like this:

Especially when i saw the list they once had (remember that one? player-made bases, mission system, tons of good sandboxy rts-like stuff).

But what i actually got was just more of this:

So yeah, that's why the game got boring for me (i even fail to log in to collect my 48 daily certs meanwhile - i just cba).

As for the forums, it just gets boring to point out the flaws over and over again to no avail. I mean, everything has been said and debated ad nauseam, there are TONS of constructive threads on here. With diagrams and graphs and shit.
So if the devs WANT some good ideas or inspiration, it's all here. Not really much is changing though, so i don't see a point in repeating the stuff all over again (flawed base design, no incentive to defend, emphasis on player performance and not on faction performance, yadayadayada...

)

Not much is changing? Oh? What about the new lattice like system?
I should also note that, like Clegg has pointed out before, it takes five minutes to come up with a suggestion but it takes five months to implement it. Paraphrasing here.
Just because something has yet to be changed/implemented doesn't mean that they aren't reading/listening.

Yeahh ok, the new lattice is something, i give you that.
Still, the parts that got me interested in PS2 in the first place will probably not be realized for another year or so, and that's why i'm bored with it. And i have yet to see any feedback on the fundamental problems of player-centric gameplay and such. Point me to something if you know more.

Besides, i agree with what you quoted from clegg. Still doesn't change the situation as it is. I probably should just check back this winter or something.

Untill then; it's two man flesh warfare i guess!!

I gave up arguing with people that don't even play the game months ago.

PSU has abit more class compared to the official forums which are terrible.

Still the best multiplayer shooter out there to me, but yea I play other games. I still dabble in Minecraft some.. but I have Crysis 3, and soon will have Bioshock Infinite.. not to meantion all the "free" games that came with my video card like Farcry 3, Sleeping Dogs and Hitman: Absolution that I need to play.... personally too many games for me to dedicate everything to Planetside 2.

Not to meantion Elder Scrolls Online starting beta soon... if I get into that then I probably won't touch Planetside 2 for a few months. I'm glad that I don't have to pay a sub for PS2.. just like GW2.. I can always come back if I feel like playing it without having to spend another $15 just to log in.

Extended Mags on left MAX AI arms still broken.
That bores me.

Oh, this is a thread about the FORUMS being boring.

There will always be complaining, personally I think when everyone is happy and has nothing to complain about it gets much more boring.

This weekend I have discovered the joy of two man flash warfare. It is so much fun buzzing around with a buddy doing drive by shootings. Now if i could get an entire squad talked into doing this I think the fun levels will multiply.
