#Planetside 2

Online Cooperative Games form such weirdly natural friendships. I’m not even talking like people you’d hang out with or anything but you just interact and get talking as if you’ve known each other your whole life and then leave not even remembering them the next day.

The most memorable moment I had like this was in Elder Scrolls Online. I was in the PVP area and I came across a raiding party and joined up we got into a casual conversation with everyone, started talking about work and finances all while tearing down a fortresses walls and slaughtering everyone inside. It was such a tonal dissonance between what was happening and what we were doing.

Another game is a cult classic game that’s been going since the ps3 era of games called PlanetSide 2. If you need to know what it is imagine Helldivers except it’s on a single planet across 3 continents and it’s three player factions fighting each other. You actually travel across the continent taking bases and outposts with the goal to dominate each continent. Really fun, really simple and I’m shocked that sort of gameplay never caught on.

However during while fighting to take the mountain base called The Crown all three factions met one was fighting from the base while my faction and an opposing faction were storming the Beaches of Normandy to climb that mountain. Everyone was getting into it myself included and bonds were formed as rag tag group formed to help each other climb just a few inches further. I heard someone yell “we won’t let those fuckers take this land!” I was an Infiltrator (basically a spy armed with a Sniper Rifle, pistol, radar gun and cloaking tech) I remember saving a group that was surrounded by sniping a few soldiers and distracting them enough for the others to mow them down. I was a squishy class meant to move solo and… Infiltrate but in that moment I became a part of the crew. We legit started taking bullets for each other as I led them to an emergency exit tunnel I scouted out. It was poorly guarded and I like to think we helped turn the tide by sneaking in a squad into the center of the enemy base. Michael Bay wishes he could direct the story that unfolded during that battle.

Tumblr would LOVE PlanetSide 2! None of the factions have any perception of nuance in their ideologies!

Enad Global 7 Q4 2023 Financials Still Riding on My Singing Monsters while the PlanetSide IP gets Sold Off

On Tuesday Enad Global 7 released their Q4 2023 and overall 2023 financial results.  You can find the documents over on the investor relations site which I have linked at the bottom of the post.  These things always get tagged as “interim” or the like, but if they change anything they are going to have to do a filing and publicly announce it. Enad Global 7 The overall message was something like,…

Today I remember waaaay back in 2013 where I got a 970 for my computer, so I used it to play Planetside 2 at ultra settings for the first time and was utterly blown away by it all. PhysX, huge player battles, enough explosions to give me a sensory overload... it was quite an experience! It’s still a game I like coming back to occasionally too

My 5 Favorite Bows in Gaming

Since Medic recently covered her 5 favorite bows in Warframe, I was inspired to do something similar, but for gaming as a whole. I’ve often found myself gravitating to bows when available, in part due to their uniqueness in a modern setting. They often play wholly differently to regular firearms, with arcs and draw times and often extra ammo types. The general trend is “rewarding if you learn how…

Finally got this done! Started all the way back in february, took a complete break for multiple months. I got the values done in the beginning of august, worked a bit on the colours after, and got it all finished today.

I'm really really proud of the armour and the gun, its what i spent the most of time on and I'm happy with how it turned out. The background is very sloppy, I'll have to practice backgrounds more, imo they're a lot more difficult than characters since you have this giant space that still has to look good somehow. But since the focus in this piece should be on the character anyways, the background wasn't a priority for me.

John actually made it his avatar in the discord after I sent it to him, I'm very glad he likes it. I spent around 28 hours on it I believe? Stopped keeping track after like 20, so not entirely sure.

Definitely glad I did it though, had lots of fun, and another friend actually asked me to draw him as a cat, so that'll be my next project lol.

Wow, do you know how long it’s been since I accessed my Sony Online Entertainment account? SOE isn’t a thing anymore. DAYBREAK GAMES was really cool about recovering my old Station Account and letting me set up a new password. Sorry, SWG and Matrix online, still dead. BUT if you don’t mind private servers, SWG LEgends would love to have you I’m sure, I keep hearing great things about them!

Playing and Planetside 2 talking about the new developers, Toadman Interactive. They've now shared their roadmap for 2024, and also presented what they want to do in general when it comes to fixes and improvements in Planetside 2. What do you think?

I'm pretty sure nobody here cares about this game, but... after the better part of a year and a half (don't @ me I'm bad at games okay?), I have finally achieved the goal I was striving for in Planetside 2.

The Black Camo is mine.

5800 total kills, 2/5s of that with two versions of a weapon I came to loathe, but now I have the coolest armour colour in the game.
