Was really weird playing the game on a good machine, I had never played with more than 30fps before so with 200+ it felt like a new game, and I could actually kill a few people although re learning key bindings has been a chore.

This is actually what I'm most excited about. Back when I played I had a very mediocre computer.

Now I have a new top of the line custom gaming rig. Syked.

I logged on yesterday afternoon and saw the worst thing that could possibly be happening. New players who had never played PS1 before were on the only cont with any action and BREWKO had activated a squad of Black Ops who were slaughtering them. What kind of impression do you think someone who has never played PS1 before got trying to fight super soldiers (especially since they didn't know they were super soldiers)? I really couldn't believe it.

Wow, Brewko did BO yesterday? Yeah, that's not so good. Also, I did see too many meteor showers happening while we were fighting at a base.

Frotang · 2013-05-21, 12:17 PM

Yeah he was in our PG squad and made them all BO, sadly I was still doing my key bindings and not in squad so I missed it. It only lasted like 30 mins anyways.

Ya, I saw the names. I also macro spammed you and put a Motion Sensor next to you while you were crouching in the spawnroom. I then went out, killed a BO with my Fusion Blade and logged to eat with the fam.

Wow that happened?

That's a real dick move.

Yeah, that is BS. What he needs to do is leave that shit out of the game for the next 6 months and let people play PS for PS. That actually really pisses me off.

well, but that revives the complete planetside experience... including the devs who found ways to screw up everything when it was least expected.

fun aside, BO is a thing that has to stay away until there is a really big population to fight them!
brewko, if you read here, stop doing blackops until you see a poplocked cont to send them to! don´t use the free months to scare away the noobs!

also, when you start blackops, do a global broadcast to inform the noobs what is happening and what it´s all about.

I think the meteorite showers are really cool. First time I saw that happen a few months ago my mind was kind of blown LOL. Had no idea GM's could do things like that. It happened a few times yesterday as well but people were calling out in broadcast chat to stay in inside for a few minutes. Though I could see how the BO event could get annoying. You're just fighting against someone who has more health and amour than you.

Not trying to knock on BREWKO, Dan's a cool guy and he was probably excited to see folks on. It's just a horrible thing to do at this time.

Not just supersoldiers, but supersoldiers who are normally supersoldiers with mumble. I enjoyed it.

Yea, after what brewko did last year in setting up the Oshur event for planetside day then, he's stil my fav. dev.

I've never liked black ops tho. it was never been good.

Hmr85 · 2013-05-21, 01:15 PM

Look, I like Brewko also. Please don't mistake my post as I don't. He stuck it out for a long time with the PS1 community. I just question his decision to do it on opening day with lots of new players logging in to check it out.

Babyfark McGeez · 2013-05-21, 01:47 PM

I read your post as "Brewko is a very nice guy but too much gm (fun) intervention at this time is not a good idea due to new players who might get scared off by it" - with which i would totally agree.

Also, it feels so good to be finally back into this with actual human beings around. Look out for your friendly HolographicDoctor (who still needs a rank to actually revive people lol). Me = happy. :]

EDIT: Also since i was bitching about the whole way SOE was treating PS1 lately a thanks is due for recognizing the game and this awesome 10 year run, so: Thanks SOE.

EDIT²: Damn, i found an old account with a BR 14 on it, woo. ^^
