Think if DOTA or LoL went from 3 lanes to 5. What if Starcraft 2 went and had a massive change to how its maps worked like the new hex system changes PS2s maps? How fucked would the esports for those games be for the following months? Very! So much so that it may just kill themselves off without any way to undo the damage. What if baseball added another base or the rules changed in any sport? A game should be feature complete with its feet rooted and base mechanics set in stone before becoming anything like a sport. If it isn't then there's nothing to master as it any/everything can/will change and thus no way to prove who is best. More weapons shouldn't hurt a thing, but things like the hex system is a big fucking no-no for any sport. PS2 is just to young. This should have waited till after the 6 month plan or a year after launch. |

heres whats so goddamn funny to me:
PS2 as an esport (as malorn said a while ago) is a dumb idea. It doesn't work. It can't work. And all the while, they're pushing on ahed and devoting development resources to this clusterfuck when there is a huge laundry list of things that need work. Meanwhile, they're apparently designing these arenas on bases that really aren't designed for fighting, from a tactical perspective. They're actually bad places to fight, structurally. The only reason I would contribute to a base fight at an amp, tech or bio is because there is literally not a fight anywhere near any other decent facility that actually can sustain a fight without involving tanks and air murdering everyone, or isn't an awful slogfest like at biolabs. So not only are they setting up a flawed idea, they're using poorly thought out bases as a basis for their arenas for their flawed idea. Not only that, they've not waited at all, to solve any of the giant issues. They've openly said "No, we're not waiting, we're pushing ahed and your input, while valued, is about as useful as the trash bin". (Imo, thats what it seems like, despite the ideas being downvoted to shit on the roadmap, and being that they are at best divisive if you use the numbers as samples that can be scaled up to the entire playerbase) OK, fine, so be it. Smed and co are digging their own graves for PS2, just like they did in PS1. Its a flawed idea that at best, attracts people with even worse attitudes than mine, being centered around places to fight that in and of themselves, don't lend to fighting. But hey, according to random people, I'm just a "single player maggot" who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. 0.00 cents, because I'm really honestly done giving a shit about this. let me know when it blows up in their face or fails entirely as the joke that it is. I've got other slightly more concerning things to rant about and write about like, why the current base designs had to be designed by somebody who enjoyed BF2 or COD more than planetside.

It's content. And gives the majority of smaller outfits an actual reason and motivation to play.

Anyone remember the outfit wars ??????
Weren't they competative ?????? Pointman stop whining its not going to change a thing. Yes I'm not bothered o e way or another , I don't want to watch it. But as an advertising mechanism to help soe gain more money to spend on the main game I don't have an issue with it. A competative element needs to be in any game for those hardcore players to push for. Be it an mmorpg going for a world first raid boss kill or an esports spot for their outfit its the same it drives the players to do better and play together well. I don't care much for it but I hope its a success because we could all benefit off the back of it. |

You keep stating that you're a cool nihilist and you don't care anymore. But you keep coming back in here to bitch anyway. |

The only thing I don't understand is why SOE instead of placing mlg info about planetside 2 on their twitchtv channel, sends players to twitchtv/mlg channel which you have to actually subscribe (pay) to watch it... Unless I am missing something... |
