Mattherson, Rejoice! The Enclave Has Quit!

I wouldn't join any of those second rate, halfwit outfits if they paid me in young hot southeast asian girls. I'm just here until my BF3 download finishes reinstalling.

Who cares

What about AOD? Been levelling my NC on Waterson so I'm not aware of outfit activity. Wouldn't everyone from Enclave move to AOD and make a stupidly huge Zerg?

Now, I ain't an expert on Mattherson outfits or affairs, but as I understand it, what you just said can only be constituted as a silly joke it is that crazy a suggestion.

The real reason seems to be population from most of their posts seems like the kitchen got to hot for these noobs that talk alot of trash

[

I've been working hard getting money, working out to get buff again for summer/ Girlfriend, talking with various developers to try and fix the game, and I typically play Planetside 2 on Tuesday and Friday for BWC Ops. I play on other days too, but I'm surprised I haven't kill you yet VSDerp since I've killed hordes upon hordes of Vanu lately.

BWC= Only real option for the organized members of the Enclave. BWC/TE were on good terms too.

I suppose that's fair and I mean absolutely no disrespect to you or any particular outfit when I say that I would have rather had a bunch of rude ******** on Mattherson TR that did nothing but **** talk to us but got results on the scale we did.

Seems I am seeing a lot of the same misguided idiocy here as I do everywhere. You can call the TE a Zerg outfit, but when they run into an objective from separate directions in squad-sized clumps of balanced infantry (MAX units leading supported by Medics and Engineers) and hitting the same thing at the same time, you have to realize it is more than a zerg. Yes they had zerg tactics of "Throw everything into one pot" but every outfit does that. Working with other outfits and fighting the Vanu, TE was one of the few outfits (There are more of course) whom you could see real organization in.

So you can laugh and call them a zerg, but I have seen how most of these outfits play and calling them a zerg is probably a poor reflection on your own skill and ability to judge the full battlefield situation. Yes they would pull out of heavy grind-fighting (as most outfits do), yes they would drop a lot of resources into a single fight (most outfits do), and in the end the only thing they did "wrong" was to be popular and noticed, and people despised that.

I will miss TE, because TE was fun to fight, when they would show up with 3 platoons it made things interesting when all i had was a Platoon, trying desperately to hide our Sunderers before their squads touched down and wrecked things so we could come back out of the woodwork and blow their sundies up forcing them to redeploy and buy time.

BCP could be a lot of things, the TE may not be popular, but they seemed organized (though large) and were fun to fight 9 times out of 10.

As for the state of the game? It will ebb and flow, it is a F2P game and it needs its Metagame before it can really establish a strong player base. Once that Metagame is established I believe we will see a lot of older players come back.

Uh, you guys know that Buzz was mostly the reason that VS is overpopped? Over the last 2 or 3 game updates it became obvious that the NC is underpowered and, at least on Matterson, full of scrubs who can't win an alert. So what is an NC player to do? Join the TR? Everyone outside the TE hates his guts and by extension, the TR because of him.

What results did TE deliver?

Failing to break the VS continent lock for 50 days?
Failing to hold their own for a day?
Failing to ...

Why? Outfit disbands, players join next populated outfit. Not so crazy if you ask me.

Unless /sarcasm.

Damn, I didn't realize TE was the only TR on Mattherson... But I guess it's reasonable to expect 2 platoons to hold off 2 factions, right?

He's a Vanu spy, pay him no mind

Ahh yes, Future Crew trash. I find it comical that you call another outfit mediocre when you lost to "The Cohort" repeatedly in PS1. You weren't relevant back then, and you certainly were not in this era. Enjoy the rest of your time in this POS though, it's about to be as dead as Raider05.

I came to like their ludicrous zergs, somehow. A pity.

Future Who?

How about, when you have a stream with 200+ regular viewers who watch you every night from 7-11pm, you just "leave"? It's common sense and courtesy to inform your followers of what's going on with your streaming schedule. BCP's stream has always been composed of gameplay, discussion, mixed with explanation and analysis. It's also polite and gracious and, again, common courtesy(Something that seems alien to you) to thank those who have been dedicatedly watching you for months.

We didn't make this thread. We haven't made any threads about us leaving. It was everybody else that's making a big deal.

Why play? We thought it'd get better. We thought the developers would finally show signs of change(I.E. Make changes to the team, changes in attitude). I played only because the outfit was playing. Patch after patch, while some changes have been good, there is too much of one step forward two steps back. GU11 was simply the breaking point.

Patch after patch, the overall game got worse in quality with one or two good changes. Then they spend the next 5 or 6 patches trying to come up with solutions to the bad changes instead of simply undoing them.

Their attitude towards the player base is laughable at best. They scorned us - I could write another post with event after event of their repeated **** ups in public relations, it's hilarious - who brought them tonnes of revenue and publicity, they conned you, who's idiotic enough to actually believe what they're telling you(Hey, please buy more weapons, it'll be different this time!), and they gave the finger to everybody inbetween, and then they put honey on the turd and called it dessert and you lapped it up.

Their business plan is horrible. Their design team is bad. The only good team they actually do have is the art team, and that's the only props I will ever hand to SOE. This is the last game I'll ever use published by this company, they could pay me and I would still not do it.

"Our legacy" is that we have been for the prime of this game's life, the top outfit. Our leader has, for the prime of this game's life, been the top player. We need no validation.

I have "rank contempt" for the game's community because it deserves nothing else. Because of people like you. And by "people like you" I mean people incapable of any critical or rational thought, who simply hivemind whine, blindly cry about everything, are blatantly misinformed and perpetuate misinformation. The simple summation, of "people like you", is idiot.

Higby's comments on this whole situation? Firstly, he shouldn't have one. But he made one anyways.

"Our focus recently has been on new players and making the game more accessible and entertaining to people coming in to the game for the first time. This is about as far away as you can get from features focused on people like Buzz and TE"

I can't even fathom this statement, except to say he has a legitimately serious disconnect from the game. What should be entertaining to new people is outfits. You know, outfits? The thing they marketed to everybody for months up to release? The big selling point? Join your own outfit and specialize! Be an impact on the field! Together you are strong!

Apparently, these ideas don't tie up to what they'd like new players to experience. Tell me, what great strides have been made in making this game accessible? What great leaps and bounds in game development has made the new player have so much more fun? Is it the ZOE MAX? The one-hit shotguns? The performance, maybe? How about the mandatory thousands of certs into Flak Armour(For every class, mind you)? How about the very obvious fact that the game by nature of balance and design sh*ts all over new players? Or how about the fact that there is nothing to entice a new player to stay? The bases have no flow and have terrible design, so all the extra numbers do is create a chaotic TDM in between perpetual spawn camping. The gunplay is not as good as the alternative shooter games. Fighting for bases has no greater meaning to the over all war - a concept that was sold like no tomorrow months prior and up to release. Continent locking is impossible to achieve because their servers are too cheap to handle so many people in one area so they had to change the game mechanics to butcher what continent locking was ultimately down the line supposed to be about - and that wont be changing any time soon.

For every single mildly good change, there is more problems created. Every patch, there are pressing, game breaking issues that are still unaddressed. Yet somehow they felt it was safe enough to take a breather and produce a "Quality of Life" patch(Which by the way did not improve quality of life).

SOE has repeatedly sh*t on outfits, which were designed to be the lifeblood of this game. SOE has repeatedly shoved the important things for this game aside in favour of undesirable things(Trading Hossin for MLG Maps is the best example). SOE has repeatedly let itself be dragged into drama, and this ultimately lead to them alienating a primary source of publicity. SOE has no capability of how to combat cheating, and they are rampant.

SOE has a bad development team that has no clue what they are doing, doesn't know how to address the problems in the game - even when they are pointed out to them - and is simply shaking everybody down for cash before they dump this game for EQ: N.

I know, right? The only reason I know these tryhards is because I played PS1 during the free trial period back in 09 when there was one last server merger. Despite being the "elite" remainder of PS1, there wasn't one person in their ****fit I couldn't wreck in a tower duel despite the fact that I hadn't played a minute of FPS from 2004-2009. You can tell how uncomfortable they are with being nobodies in 2012-13, it's pathetic really.

Im pure support and only have a K/D of 1 thanks to a like for playing as a MAX. Even as a MAX I run as a support with the shield and cover others. If it wasn't for my Mattock MAX then my K/D would be under .5 easy, and I don't care.

Not everyone likes to be a killer. I die so much as medic and engie because I have my tool out doing my job. Risking my *** to keep people at 100% and alive. What the hell can armor and infantry do it there was no one like me?
