Does it really happen?

lately i have been amazed at how Planetside looks and the aspects of a flexible game and fun teamwork, but do people actually work as a team if they dont know them or are not in the same outfit as them? because if i start new, i would want to join a squad straight away and get on with the teamwork. Are people like this wen new people join the game or do they just dismiss them?

plz reply

i have to tell you the truth. when i first got planetside i HATED it. the first replies i got from people were sarcastic and rude, i was ignored completely... it seems they are irritable towards people who are new beyond understanding....

i suggest that you go through the training the game offers first and read up on the manual. because some of the newbie questions people ask get very unkind answers lol.

Also, if you want to join an organized squad do your research on the top 10 squads in whatever empire your deciding to be. the more population in outfits = the more people on at the same time in your outfit which means more outfit arranged attacks

I'm always looking for people to form a squad at the Sanc. Give's the noobs a chance. 5000 xp for hacking a base, that's teamwork.

Usually people who are rude to n00s that have done nothing wrong are jerks to others. I met a few great people in the early beta and was to BR 8 in three days due to their help.

if you join a squad with people you dont know, about 99% of the time there is still great teamwork. For the most part, the leader says where the squad is going and people (again not all the time) usually do what he/she says.

The teamwork is one of the best aspects about this game.

Lonehunter · 2003-07-12, 07:30 PM

I agree completely.

MercFox1 · 2003-07-12, 07:31 PM

Probably because you'd get 0wned if you didn't have a team....

The best thing to do is try to apply to one of the hosted outfits here. They are very respectful and good outfits to play with.

I joined up with the DragonWolves back in March of this year when I started hearing and seeing what Planetside will look like. I played the Open Beta with them and have never regretted it. If you're on the TR side, and want to play on Emerald, then go to the site and apply. They go through and do an actual interview with you, so be prepared.

You'll have the most fun with people you know or know about already. It's really important to find a good group of people. I'd watch out for groups with hundreds of members, cause there's no way you'll ever get to know them all.

Yeah, I'd look into any of the clans here.

Well I have had the worst luck with squads. probably Because I always want stay away from the zerg. and then with in 20 minutes of my squad getting there 5 out of 10 people get pissed off because they die and leave. So I try to join squads and only occasionally do they actually work out. So I end up going solo killing about 20 guys by myself and getting 5000 exp when the hack finally goes through.
