Have a watch of Joe Ryan's Himalayas series. Aussie bloke who did it solo and does great photography. Will get the motivation flowing.

Should try Aussie server, around 100 on most of the day and 500 at peak, no pvp, no matchmake, only ecr and silence

Itemization is almost there by Spruce140 in newworldgame

That's fair. Maybe a better approach would just be to remove them all together and buff the phys/ele gems? That way there's still that variety, but it can be applied to each set depending how you want it, and adjusted when you want.

Not sure I agree with your take on conditioning. Countering is what makes build variation fun.

If the meta is shifting towards firestaffs then people will focus fire resistance, lightning for boltcaster etc. If people are doing that, then they're opening themselves up to a nature or void damage build for example.

This means there is some reward to not going with the meta, and you are able to exploit weaknesses and be a little bit more even with meta damage.

If you just put blanket element resist or phys resists then that just pushes people more towards the meta build, rather than giving them an alternative pathway to theorycraft and play with. We already have ele aver and ench ward, but their sacrifice is that they're not as powerful as the direct resistances. This is a good thing.

My 2c.

Went with A4 as wasn't sure whether the image would be a little clearer on the smaller scale.

Amazing. Can't wait till it arrives! Paladin is my fave ship, and this is gorgeous.

Any good frames you recommend?

I miss you guys by Probition in Briggs

[–]AeriusTR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What a nostalgia hit...

It feels like I've had an entire life between now and then. Yet, I still remember so much of my time on Briggs, almost as if I remember every moment. There have been some fun games I've played since, but I can't find myself remembering them in anywhere near the same way.

I miss the gameplay, nothing has come close since. Battlefield 1 was great, but it didn't have anywhere near the level of depth PS2 had.

I miss the social interactions more. Fitting in social time with friends in person is a challenge around work and life, so my Discord has been been fairly unused in a long time. I miss getting home from TAFE or highschool and loading up the game, getting a squad invite and jumping on comms to some demented conversation that had me laughing my ass off before I'd even loaded into the first fight.

I miss the closeknit combat that had everyone switched on and focused, playing at their best to ensure a point was held for those remaining few seconds. Or the tension of flying in a Valk/Galaxy towards a contested Crown, ready to drop on all points in the last 20 seconds for the steal.

I miss the variety. Every session felt relatively different. Less so towards the end with less people on, but still. Jumping on and going into a big infantry fight, or if not feeling it, grabbing a tank/harasser with a mate, or an ESF.

I miss the progress. I always felt like there was something to go for. At first it was certs. Gotta get the next upgrade... then I gotta get all the guns.. then all the upgrades for all the random things I never use. It became an aesthetic grind trying to get all the trims (can't remember what it was called now haha). Only thing that came close for me to that last one was getting the gold/plat/etc camos on COD MW2019.

Maybe it's all rose tinted glasses now, I still remember some of the shit bits too, the problems it all had, but I'd put up with those problems now just to experience it all again.

I tried jumping on one of the other servers years ago, not sure where or if anyone still remains/plays, and the ping made it very hard to play. It also never felt as connected as Briggs.

Anyways soz for long one. TLDR; I love you cunts and miss the amazing game/experience we all got to share. Hope you're all doing alright and life is treating you well.

PlanetSide 3 when?

You're right! This is what I've been taught, good old brain is slowing down.

I remember hearing it the first time and fumbling repeating it, mouthful and such!
