New Outfits Are Pointless

*facepalm*

He's referring to Age of Conan

They speak well most of the time but they aren't the best players and I wouldnt trade either of them for 100 idiots just like you. They have my back every single time and do just what is asked without complaint. They don't shoot that well and are probably our weakest link. Does that mean my entire outfit is weak because I have member laid up in a hospital burn unit. Fuck you dude. Some things are bigger than games and I'll place $1000 in escrow says my outfit would wipe yours if 4 hours.

Just to increase the sample sizes, here's another screenshot from the same user labled October 3rd

That proves exactly and precisely nothing. As outfit points are a linear additive combination of all of the combinations of the members, larger outfits would be at the top, regardless of how uncoordinated they were.

So what you are saying is that just because they are handicapped, they are your worst members?

Who the fuck are YOU to call ME and idiot? Maybe they need to join my outfit.

Fuckin' asshole.

Damn straight, and we're happy to have them. It's a shame some people have nothing better to do but take games so seriously. Remember, it's just a game and at best, an outlet for your frustration. Don't make it anything more than that and enjoy the game because there are many people that can't play for various reasons.

I'm calling you out as well. You, sir, are an idiot. No where did JP say that "because they are handicapped, they are our worst members". He said that despite their unfortunate situation, they still play the game and we're happy to have them even if they are not capable of playing their best at this time.

Everyone has off days, it just so happens this soldier is having a bad few months (if not more with rehab). Are you so insensitive that you'd kick an outfit mate from your outfit because he couldn't play well for a few months while he's in recovery? If that's the case, I hope every single one of your outfit members leave you high and dry because you don't deserve to lead a group anywhere.

I may be new to the Planetside Universe; however, if this is the type of intolerance I'm going to see from the PS community, I'm going to have to seriously rethink my involvement.

I honestly couldn't care either way. If outfits get too big it will be chaotic. More outfits means more room for seperate playstyles and individual operations to happen at once. I think funneling people into outfits would make the game less interesting.

hey Baneblade..... congrats you just tried to mock jp,and failed. and our good friend that is a vet.... you sir are a twat waffle.

I don't even know what to say to this.

I wouldn't give those two guys up for 50 organized ps1 vets regardless of whether they contribute in the KD department or not. They might not roll A squad during CAL or TWL but they are the first on TS and the last to leave.

And when it comes to MMO's no body plays more or learns more about the nuances of the game then they do. They educate me everyday, not only about the game we are playing, but more importantly about how fortunate I am to have what I have.

I'll take my top 10 and you pick yours. I'll include my two guys, who, by no fault of their own, aren't able to physically play as well as most, and we will wipe your fucking outfit off what ever area we are fighting over. Pick some obscure hex and name the time.

I never said anything different, he was the one who jumped up to point out that his 'worst' players are in a burn unit. So get off my balls.

Wait, so you consider him your worst player too? What is it with you guys and trying to make it seem like I'm the one saying it? Why would anyone kick someone for that?

I may be new to the Planetside Universe; however, if this is the type of intolerance I'm going to see from the PS community, I'm going to have to seriously rethink my involvement.

Don't worry, that kind of intolerance came in with your outfit apparently.

I didn't try to mock anyone, I am genuinely infuriated that 'jp' talks and thinks about his handicapped member that way.

I was saying they should give you up fuckwit, you came in here looking for a holy crusade. I'm just sorry they got dragged into your issues.

You don't come across that way to me. The burn unit isn't a joke.

Aren't you the big man trying to cover up your douchebaggery with bravado. So glad I don't have to see your outfit on my team. I bet your two burn unit members aren't going to be happy with you for using them as a PR stunt.

You'll find that only a select few of the "old" PS1 outfits will be relevant in PS2. The majority of the competition will come from new outfits that were forged in games long after PS1.

I'm proud of you. Acceptance is the first step to recovery.

Pardon? I've accepted long ago that we will be one of the select few outfits from PlanetSide to be relevant in PlanetSide 2 so I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at; ours is the burden of excellence after all. And if that was your attempt at a "witty" jab at me I simply have to take but one look at your "Green Day" avatar to realize that you're not only worth ignoring but probably below me on a social level as well.

With that being said I've graced this thread with my divine presence so you may now all carry on with your silly discussion.

He said 'probably the worst' since when does 'probably' == 'are' or 'definitely'. Master the English language and you'll understand the difference.

Did I say he was the worst? No, I said he isn't playing at the top of his game right now. You really are a moron aren't you?

You are the one that has been arguing about the weakest link and how the whole outfit suffers from one (or a few) less than stellar players. I suggest you read your own posts; You are the one preaching to stop new outfits because PS1 vets have it 'on the lockdown', which translates to "you are new, you don't belong" and is basically the definition of intolerance. For the love of god, pick up a dictionary and learn a few new words. I'll even settle for you visiting http://www.merriam-webster.com/ once a day and checking out the word of the day.

You don't like that JP brought up our handicapped member (who is quite pissed that you want to see him cut from the outfit) in defense of the weak? We've accepted him and love playing with him, why are you so angry?

Maybe you didn't see the memo:



Of course we're going to take the issue seriously. We're insulted that you even suggested that the outfit is only as good as it's weakest link. If we applied that thinking everywhere, we would have to kill you off because you're pretty low on the IQ scale and you are weakening the entire gene pool.

Don't be sorry, they were on Teamspeak last night and approved our use of their situation (he was pissed about your post). Since we failed to mention names, their identities are protected and you can't harass them.

Your narrow-mindedness is disgusting as such intolerance is the reason one of the members is in the burn unit. They'll be happy to kick your ass in game and would love to have the chance to show you that no matter how weak a player may be, they still deserve respect.
