Hello all!
I am new here and wanted to say hello. I was in the Planetside beta but I was unable to join up at launch. However, the good news now I am ready to.
The role I liked to play was medic/repair support type(always did this in tribes and back in the team fortress days). I know I am not the best shot in the world but I like the support roles. Keeping people alive is satisfying for me. Don't really mind dying to keep others alive just long enough for a victory. Near the end of beta, I was seeing that I was not need. So many people in zerg fests had no time to stop and get healed / repaired, or waited to be revived. They would rather turn their vehicle into a flamming rocket before stopping to repair. Unless I wanted to hang out on base defense repairing a max defender non stop nobody really needed me around.
So I was wondering, in the game as it is now, will high level squads want a player like me with them? Would I be of use, or are people just still finding respawning the better way to go? Don't get me wrong, I fight too, just more than happy to fall into the support role.
Reading the official forums scare me as it sounds like a rough crowd of kill kill kill and keep moving leaving people like me in the dust. Definitely afraid to post there as a newbie.
So is there a place for me in PS? Thanks!
