Overreacting over early info


It seems like everyone likes to overreact over every little snippet of information we get about Planetside 2. This happens with every new game, and its rediculous. Here is the reason that we should stop assuming everything we hear will make it into the final game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzrme...ayer_embedded#!

This is Halo as it was first shown by Steve Jobs at MACWORLD. Yes, Halo was going to be for mac. Even better, it was an RTS.

Now i've known about this for a long time and i'm sure many of you did too, but I was just reading a cracked article that included this video in it, and realized that this is why we need to stop making our final judgemnets about an early build of a game.

If it weren't for baseless speculation we wouldn't have much to talk about.

Really, though a lot of the passion about certain aspects of the game do seem to help though and it would appear from some of Higby's posts on this site they are aware of them good/bad or indifferent.

I to hate people getting all bent out of shape about things we know almost nothing about, but it isn't going to stop anyone, including me from being vocal about stuff that is mentioned, that we hate in other games.

Me personally. I hate quick knives- they've been mentioned I am dissapoint, i've expressed this.
I dislike killcams - they've been mentioned I've rallied against them, though we don't know the implementation I still, in general don't like them.
I dislike OSK weapons in general, but I like sniping so I want to wait and see how it pans out.
I dislike hysteria and specifically unfounded hysterical reactions with no basis in reality... but you know it is a video game, so that is kinda par for the course.

I like to speculate too, I just mean when certain things are announced people go into a "OMG the world is gonna end this game is gonna SUCKKKKKK kill me now they're ruining the game nOOOooOo" phase for a while

The sky is falling mentality is a bit much, but I think we have some pretty productive threads here discussing various aspects.

Do you reccomend locking this forum? since all we have to talk about is small snippets of information.

Really I think anyone who comes in here and says "shut up and wait for beta/release" are trolling.

People that assume that the sky is falling are gone pretty quick. I wouldnt worry, those few regular guys of us here realized how things work ages ago.

I think we should be quiet until the first major expansion or content release is out. After all, thats when they will fix the bug with the Vangaurd and the disapearing wall bug.

What?? When did I... you know what never mind.

I just posted this for a little entertainment. Relax guys

Edit - After rethinking it, perhaps this should have been posted in the general gaming discussion, because people refuse to believe that someone is referring to them when its even remotely negative.

The reactions are almost always going to be either
"OMFG GREATEST THING EVARRR!!"
or
"WTF?!?! EPIC FAIL!!!"

There is alot of great reasoned discussion on the forums, but knee jerk reactions will always be just that. The middle path is usually where we arrive, but it's never the first reaction.

Mostly because when any new information that comes out the vast majority will look at it and say ~"hmmm interesting wonder how that will work out" and not post.

The motivation to actually post something right away is generally going to fall into one of those two extremes.

PRetty spot on. I was completly in rage mode when i heard about the shields for infantary, but got into the reasoning phase after, and now i see the potential. But first reactions are always just RAGE or WOOOT!
