I'm 99.9% sure that he just promised to invite more people before tomorrow so that we can give him bigger battles.

Thanks jawsoflife!

Although you know you are being an enabler of our addiction right?

Well, you are surely able to post a source for that as i cant find one on twitter or in this forum. All i know is that John Smedley said "Not this week for sure." https://twitter.com/j_smedley/status/233531363054215168

Hey jaws when can we expect the footage to be uploaded?
Thx in advance

Has Jaws got a faction? I need to know whether I should feel dirty for loving him....

Soo? Is it up?

Boomhowser · 2012-08-10, 05:41 AM

from what I saw of it, last night's stream didnt show TR faction in good light as Higby couldnt do anything for majority part.. to many players created higby hunters then watched the stream to see where on the map he would be.

However seeing the various loadouts that he was using was informative and I look forward to the upload completing so I can take another look, since watching the feed at 2am meant Info really wasnt sinking into the old grey matter

...I just wish higby would get into some of these multi-squad heated battles at capture points instead of jetpacking around shooting tanks with his machine gun.

That, or let me into the beta :P

I read this and immediately agreed, but then I remembered that Higby is a designer. As a designer, it would be very important for him to play the role of a lone wolf, mimicing the behavior of a new player who has NEVER seen or heard of Planetside before, who has no friends in the game, and has just downloaded it because it is free.

These players are the most crucial because they are the ones who will evolve into hardcore players IF that first experience is positive. It seems likely that Higby plays the way he does because he is trying to make sure that experience is exceptionally well crafted. Always gotta play like its your first time as a designer -- which gets really hard a few years into a project

EITHER THAT... or... he's fucking terribad at the game. Dude dies a *lot*.

You are most likely right, but it would be nice if he showed a little of "the other way" of playing every now and then. Perhaps he could do an "advanced stream" once in a while?
But I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the NDA to lift to see some good tactical/srategic gameplay.

Yup, Higby should cover his squad indicator, and play under an unknown name. That way he might actually be able to show us SOME normal gameplay before his new alias gets leaked.

P.S.: The part with all the planes flipping over on that bridge.... PRICELESS!!!

JPalmer · 2012-08-10, 10:53 AM

It was hard to find good gameplay because TR had very low population. There were literally enemy tank columns every where. And a idiot on the TR did a certain glitch while in the Galaxy which killed all of us.

Strech · 2012-08-10, 11:09 AM

Still no stream recording online anywhere?

LazyBonez · 2012-08-10, 11:22 AM

Here is the only stream that was uploaded on the 9th that I could find but titled says its from the 8th....

If not the one sorry.... If it is then enjoy

EDIT: not the one my B

MrBloodworth · 2012-08-10, 11:25 AM
