Everyone is reiterating everything that gets posted in Planetside 2 discussion.

When PS1 goes free to play, watch this forums light up in a massive pile of pure happiness and positivity.

Until then, step back and the warmth of the flames isn't so bad.

Not many people would play PS1 if it goes F2P; probably only vets and the occasional curious passer by. SoE are hardly likely to market it heavily. I might dip my toe in the water.. or maybe not as I'm enjoying PS2 so much.

All the negativity in this forum really sets such a horrible mood on this site.

No.

At times it may seem that there are rather too many posts harking back to "the good old days", but if PS1 vets are able to offer constructive criticism and propose feasible solutions based upon their experience then surely that is a good thing, even if I sometimes don't agree on a particular point (I really like the Indar Hex system, for instance).

I'm all for informed debate; pretending that everything is rosey by brushing problems under the carpet is hardly for the good of the game in the long run.

Edit - that said, I really don't see the point in posts that do nothing but whine; what is needed is solutions.

The negativity in this forum is indeed getting ridiculous. It seems that drama queens have totally taken over this place.

Sure, the game needs improvement but I'm still having a lot of fun playing it on a daily base.

The game will be given praise, the second after I think it deserves praise.

sneeek · 2013-01-07, 12:14 PM

Speaking as somebody who plays a moderate amount (about 3.5 days total, since launch), I don't really see how the game is "shit" or "broken". It needs improvements in certain areas, but I'm enjoying myself in-game. The infantry combat is infinitely better than in the original Planetside.

^ @DaytimeMango I kind of agree with you about the "Who has quit" thread. Not very constructive. That's exactly the reason I ignored it. You're going to get stuff like that on any public forum though. Having said that, the site admins here do a pretty good job at keeping things under control... You just have less of it here vs. the official forums because there is less people who frequent them. Sometime people get angry/upset and feel the need to vent. It happens, I've done it.

Rolfski · 2013-01-07, 12:57 PM

Hamma's "who has quit" post was indeed a mistake but everyone makes mistakes and other then that, he does his stinking best to keep this forum constructive. Problem is that with an overpopulation of (often bitter) vets in this forum, this can become quite a challenge sometimes compared to reddit or the official forum. Especially when people start cranking out topics with ranting titles like "Fire Smed" or "Planetside 2, what a joke of a game,it does not even deserve to be called planetside".

Exactly this is what is the problem atm: People derailing every thread into a rant that is not constructive or helpful at all.

No it wasnt a mistake. It was perhaps the best way to show the devs why people didnt enjoy their game. It was to condense the prevalent negative issues concerning the game into one thread. It is infact very informative and useful info (in the right hands)

People derailing EVERY thread into non constructive ranting ? I think thats an assumption.

Rolfski · 2013-01-07, 01:41 PM

Although I have no doubt it was done with the best intentions, Hamma's thread was giving a very negative signal from this community, giving the idea that this game was broken beyond repair and people were massively leaving this game.

And I dare to challenge you finding a topic that has not a rant in it, because most topics have rants in them and some people seem to rant in every post they reply to so it's not that much of an exaggeration actually.

Broken beyond repair, or just in time to ring some alarm bells?

Hamma · 2013-01-08, 09:39 AM

I stand by my decision to post it. I did it for a reason.. and so far it's been going as intend. It's almost the same theme to everyone who has quit. I did it for me and for the devs.. one thread isn't going to turn people away from this community and if it does they probably don't really want to be here anyway.
