What was/ is your goal in planetside? - Page 2

noxious · 2004-02-01, 01:07 PM

I treat the game like it were any other first-person shooter. Once you look at it this way, the concept of having done "everything" seems absurd. I did everything in Counter-Strike a couple weeks after I started playing, and yet, years later, it's still a blast to play. When I started playing in retail my only goal was to make 20/5 again, and like SWARM said, because of this, I actually did quit about two weeks after having done so. Now I'm back and pretty active again but with a completely different mindset. For me, the game is about every individual encounter.

Well when 7th Legion died, i went outfitless for a good 3 to 4 weeks until i decided to join sgx. I dont know if i could devote the time needed to be a significant part of any other outfit, as i'm engrossed in FFXI and CoD leagues most of my online time. But I will think about it silver

Being on the leaderboard has always been a deep down goal, but in reality theres no way anyone can get on it, unless they play this game nonstop and make it their number 1 priority.

Seventh Legion...

What happened to the 7th Legion anyway?

My "goal", if I needed one for PS, was just to be part of and support a team effort. My first (Terran) outfit didn't really have it, but fortunately my second outfit has it in ******. Not counting BR and CR has made the game fun - I don't really have to worry about being in an SOI, which opens up a lot of possibilities.

Mine would have to be...make a BR20/CR5 character on each empire. I also wanna get a 25+ kill OS.

When I first started playing PS in september my goal was to get BR,I got it by suking off Squads exp while sitting off sniping as far as I could go because I lag like crazy then.

Now its all about teamwork as I try to have as much fun with my weapons as I can.

Another goal is to find bugs and exploits to increse fun and making it fair by letting every one know about it.
I already found one:With a VS MAX you can jump on top of an nmy empire sanctuary warpgate by using the ledges on one of the three things sticking around the wargate as steps to get up top, when you are on the warpgate you will notice that you are somewhat inside it but you can shoot inside it.

Most fun with a VS MAX I ever had on a zerg.

Some good outfit members (Anarchy 99) and finding new and unsual ways to kill people with CE. The possiblities are endless with CE and I really enjoy coming up with new ways or places to kill people with it.

I play because its fun, BR20/CR5 is just a bonus.

That's an admirable goal, Vick - anyone who's willing to pick up some random ant driver and cart them all over the continent in a lodestar for no gain is worth kudos in my book. which you did for me on sunday on my NC alt (SomeDumbBlonde).

as for my goals, I dunno ... I hit the XP cap a long long while ago, I put a lot of time in as an outfit lead, I've tried to get my empire to achieve new heights and learn new strats. I've kind of hit a block with the TR now where i've done it all, seen it all.

my new short-term goal is to get ny NC alt up to BR20, and try out some of those weapons that I got ganked with. and to learn how to be a tower bunny.

I dunno- all I know is, GammArkantis their former leader and former friend of mine, ninja-recruited a bunch of members from various outfits in the Emerald Alliance, resulting in his addition to about five hundred Kill On Sight lists.

I played to blow people up with boomers. That's gone to hell now though.

A) You should be appealing bugs, not broadcasting them
B) You can do this with liberator bombs as well

My goal is to snipe as many people as I can, which I do because it's enjoyable. So ultimately my goal is to have fun, but to that end I engage in copious amounts of steamy bolt driver love.

Visor · 2004-02-01, 04:36 PM

Refering back to SandTrout and what he said I'd rather go choice B.
Im new how do you quote.
