[Suggestion] New load screens: Executions and torture, really? Alternative here.

Oh no, I definitely agree that they don't fit. I'm just not going to break out my soapbox for it

Fair point.

I don't understand what's the problem here, you can see the same scene everytime you capture a base with some defenders left.

Is that the fun part of playing PS2? Or is it the actual fighting for bases against enemies who actually stand a chance?

Thank you.

Actually no i didnt.
Loki with that staff would have been way way way tougher than that.
He didnt even really do anything or fight anyone in that movie, just gave orders and let everyone else do his dirty work.
They make Loki out to be about as powerful and dangerous as a rubber covered brick sinking in water.
Poor representation.

EDIT: And why would Loki, one of the most intelligent villains in the whole of marvel, let the Hulk, a beast that he himself knew the power of so wanted unleashed to throw the Avengers into chaos, get that close to him.
What happened to his hologram image trick that Thor never learns?
What happened to being able to teleport himself around?
Why didnt he at least shoot at Hulk with his staff....the staff afterall contains the mindstone, 'unparalleled in its destructive power'?

Really enjoyed the movie, but Loki was depicted as a ***** cat, wasnt impressed.

Well, in Loki's defense, I think he'd lost the staff by that point in the movie. Additionally, Thor barely stood a chance against Hulk during the Helicarrier sequence, and that was with his enormously powerful hammer. Besides, they had to set-up Thor: Ragnarok's status quo of Hulk being able to fight, and beat, Asgardians.

I have only one complaint about the new load screen. There should be a spawn room at the background in each of them. Then they would reflect PS2 game play properly. After all the game is virtually nothing but lopsided battles at the spawn rooms..

Thanks for the spoiler...........
Im no marvel fanatic, i know a bit, dont know Ragnaroks plot.

I hotly debate the Thor hulk hellicarrier scene.
Thor afterall was not trying to kill or really to even fight hulk, just calm him down.
Thor knows not to make hulk even angrier.

Even though, I still think Loki with that staff is far more powerful than he was made out in Avengers, who knows maybe we will see the real powers he holds now he has stolen Gungnir and the throne from Odin.

Excited for the next Thor film, bit of a wait yet tho. I just really enjoy the fantastical worlds and realms and futuristic space travel.
Also why i like Guardians of the Galaxy so much, fav film of 2014.

Your neck beard points have been increased by [1]

Back to the topic at hand.

Now, I realize that this is fundamentally a game about killing virtual people, generally because they are some form of color-coded anti-skub, but I prefer to play the game in a way that is competitive, but still basically respects people. Its not about being "Honorbru" or being a tryhard, its just about basic decency of not going out of my way to wreck up someone's play experience, without just cause, and having a rough (And not always met) expectation that people will do the same. When folks deviate from this, I respond, but generally, you have fun and I have fun.

So yes, we clear out a base, we go and take out the remaining defenders. But we know and expect this to happen. Its normal to us. Running around ganking solo infantry isn't something that normally occurs in the game, because the game already incentivizes us to be in squads.

The point has been made that these loading screens are the first things that many people see when loading up the game. They are also something we see frequently even as regular players. Like it or not, over time, repeated exposure can normalize the behavior in the images. This is not me being an "SJW", its just basic social science research.

Its about the message. I feel the message that game content sends to players should remain focused on fun, competitive team play that encompasses a broad array of game play styles, and that narrowing the appeal of the game to focus on the "Murder-snuff enthusiast" crowd and the "HATE SKUB" cross-section of the player base is counterproductive.

My nerd points must be too low.
Could you explain what a Pro Skub is?
And could you explain what my neck beard points are, and what they actualy earn me?

Thanks
Genuine question, not trolling.

Really since death has no meaning anymore, and anyone can just dissolve into nanites to get around, these staged executions are just some advanced form of sexual role play.

I mean, seriously, TWO daggers? Nobody wields two daggers unless they are about to get frisky.

I don't get it. 'Yeah, these pictures don't fit, but **** SJW's!' Why do you people have to be so emotionally invested in yelling at people for being offended about something, when you really don't give a **** one way or the other about the thing they're talking about?

Yeah, nothing is more taxing on your system than loading a 3 megabyte image on startup. The reason that it feels like it loads slower is because the bar is physically smaller, so it doesn't look like it's moving as quickly.

And FYI, the old loading screen clocked in at 3.8 megs as it was a compressed 3000 by 1686 JPEG, so this is technically an upgrade.

#technical FTW

If I replied as I initially wanted to, this thread would be closed. Did your detachment torture and execute prisoners? How do you dare say this to another prior serviceman? Forumside...

nevermind the OFFENSIVE or not,

SOme of the pics Really dont fit this game, imho

i simply wanted more like the one we had, just with the locations and factions switched up. These pics would be ok to me, if they were part of a Large pool of pictures. Most featuring epic scenery with cool battle stuff visible. These pics dont even have Faction Specific vehicles in them for the most part.

Show of your Assets Planetside, the Large battles the Giants maps, that Empire specific SWAG.

these pics are of COD kids messing around, though i will give the Obligatory "Awesome art"

keep these pics, sure, but lets step it up for the next round? get that PlantMan Lumfiber Chrome Zerg of blissful Chaos feeling in it

(Facepalm)

You have utterly stupid threads.

I don't really care about the photos. I don't think that they should be changed unless the developers actually agree.
I do like the idea of adding your own pictures to a media file. That sounds great. Then I could watch my **** without using up the bandwidth. I mean add my own interesting screenshots!

I'm all for it.
I hate the new art. I find it offensive. I don't find any of them to be in the spirit of Planetside 2 gameplay.
I just didn't really care either way about the old art.

Allowing players to load their own load screens into a file to replace these new pictures is a great option.
They should provide the option for the Classic load screen as well.
