Stop calling every joke a troll. This is getting annoying. That's even more trolly than actual trolling.

Hardcore players like to think it's a measurement of skill and awesomeness.

It isn't.

So much truth it needs to be quoted twice

Sorry but on this forum everyone is serious business. "LOL CASUALS" still gets a few feathers ruffled.

He's a WoW baby, doesn't actually know what trolling is.

Whose? Mine or Aurmanite's? I mean we said what was needed to be said, we could've said it without Prism's post....


But anyway. Competitive play is something I feel I'll be more diverted into, due to (now) being a member of Werner's ehm.. "finest"???

Even if I end up being unable to put enough time into it to be considered competitive I'm sure I will be trying to further team goals, capturing/defending points, and trying to help my faction get stuff done. Can I play 8-10 hours a day M-F? No. But I can probably put in a good 2 hours during the week and big days on the weekends. Am I casual because of my amount of playtime? Does my team-focus change that?

I'm probably going to grab a Liberator and just let people gun for me like I did in PS1 and rack up the experience casually. It was relaxing in the first game once you memorized where everyone would be during a battle.

That and sit back and play the game slowly for maximum k/d. Good times.

I'm gonna throw in an 'other' option too, because I think I made that sound biased.

Where is the option for COMPULSIVELY like a crack head hittin that rock? I really hope that we get a fair amount of warning so I can schedule some time off for release and live and breath all that is PS2.

Guess I'll just choose other

Casually competitive.

How do you play planetside competitively?

I don't think there's gonna be sponsors.

Sounds an awful lot like something you're trying to prove?

omg tards, Hardcore is how you spend your time playing its requires some dedication, yes because you need knowledge and you don't get that by playing for 5 minutes every day, you need to put sometime into the game or be actively reading up on the game.

There are some people who play games for 18 hours a day, they spend their time prancing around doing daily quests, slowy grinding up their mounts or in the case of planetside, sit around in sanc and take screenshots of their zerg outfit in formation. These players arnt hardcore, dispite their playtime.

Hardcore is playing with a purpose and spending your time wisely, I only play PS for about 4-6 hours per night, in that time, i dont stop, i would read some stuff during the day on breaks to confirm I'm running the right loadouts so when i play there is no messing around, there is just killing.

You casuals dont understand the hardcore mindset and never will or perhaps you are more hardcore than you think, you are after all on a pre release game forum, there is nothing casual about that.

Hey guys! I'm Hardcore!

I'm going with other because I go through stages when I play video games. When I start off during the day I get really competitive and tryhard, but then as time goes on my effort varies inversely to the point where I'm not playing, I'm just existing.

Edit: [Afterthought] This is just for playing during the day and not in a specific group. If I were to be in a competitive group then I would give it my all.
