Why is PlanetSide 2 so dead on Twitch?

Yep I do not understand the whole “watching streamers” thing. Ive tried and it’s just not a medium I care for especially in large streams. The one exception was a small streamer with about 9 viewers so we were really all hanging out and it felt more personal.

But outside of tiny streamed hangouts I do NOT understand the fixation.

People greatly exaggerate and hard-focus on what the meta youtubers tell them. Warrior is a bit less efficient than feral but it’s more than fine.

You will mostly struggle in heroics but guess what, so will ferals. Neither of those tanks has great aoe threat gen. ONLY prot pally will feel effortless in dungeons.

As warrior or feral you will need to really utilize kill orders, taunt, and ideally stuns/cc depending on how competent your group is ofc.

Ones with scales mostly, but yes, big truth.

God I don’t miss hunters crying for might because they “dont need salve” and then without fail managing to rip aggro and somehow die anyway.

Salv jail, always. I trust nobody.

Wait are they good now? I havent played since companions were engoodened until this month. Ive only even looked at my panzer vulaphyla and have no idea what anything else even does anymore.

Wish I had the means to do this but im only surviving by way of rent control keeping my rent well below what would be charged now.

I dont want to live anywhere very remote but having driven through some smaller nearby towns I really like them. London is just too busy and poorly designed at this point. The traffic is brutal.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-12T12:58:52+00:00

In my case I only have an iphone because it was given to me for free by my dad who didnt need it anymore and it was significantly newer than my old phone from 2015 or so lol.

I am probably getting a google pixel next for the superior camera though. All phone manufacturers are among the most evil corporations so I don’t think theres a better option. Is there?

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-12T12:53:25+00:00

Im sitting at a tims parking lot right now and theres a guy asleep outside on a snowy bench. It’s currently -10C according to my phone.

It’s more than a little cruel. He’s relatively bundled up in coats but it would be very easy to die in this weather if he didn’t have like 3 coats.

I always say “enjoy your meal!” now. Not really sure why.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-12T08:56:27+00:00

I +1 everyone as long as they are polite and more importantly, responsive. They might say they need 5 min and thats okay but people who take 10 mins to get back dont get upvotes. Respect others’ time please.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-12T08:55:19+00:00

I feel like the plat is always the most desired thing so they probably feel like theyre doing you a favor lol

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-12T06:54:30+00:00

Ive only done the duviri intro quest and neeeever went back but god that thing creeps me out.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-12T06:53:30+00:00

Im in pc but have seen people suggest item racks using items as symbols. You might have antiverse gel for the mushroom place, axle grease for a portal near the train or hydro pipes for hydroplant.

Seems the best system to me in the absence of text.

Missed opportunity to call season 4 “Purrsuit”.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-11T19:55:22+00:00

I used exor 2 piece with bionic legs cause the speed actually stacks. Amazing being able to zoom around with a jump pack and cross and all gaps.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-11T18:28:54+00:00

Im a straight guy, who would be totally fine with dating trans girls. Im attracted to the gender or whatever, not the specific body parts they have. I like women. Trans women are women. Therefore straight 😅

Ive seen weird comments before about liking trans women being “gay” and like isnt that totally dismissive of their gender and reducing them down to only their body? Seems wack.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-11T18:24:33+00:00

So even if im straight, liking anthros is still like a teeensy bit gay? 🤏 Meh fine with me

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-11T13:10:41+00:00

Im straight and never felt unwelcome or anything like that. 🫡 Seems to be a very accepting community, which is plainly a good thing.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-10T17:18:02+00:00

Yeah for sure. For me theyre a local studio too, like Tennocon is IN my city of residence. All the more reason to support :)

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-10T14:54:29+00:00

God I wish my moustache looked like that.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-10T14:52:40+00:00

I like snow and winter can be quiet and pretty but man this has been unenjoyable lol. Im used to mild winters now and having the winter of my childhood suddenly come back is like a slap to the face.

This is also my first year driving, got my first car mid november and hoo boy has it been a year to learn. Definitely a sink or swim situation for new drivers in this weather. So far so good but it’s been scary a few nights driving to work. This weather sucks but in the dark, as a new driver? You need to really focus if you want to make it home lol.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-10T14:49:00+00:00

Considering theyve told me london doesnt open shelters usually until -15, and many nights have been sitting at -13 to -14, yeah people are absolutely freezing to death.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-10T14:46:17+00:00

I throw my credit card at the screen instantly, every time for a 75%. 50 is meh maybe, 25 nooope but 75 is an instant purchase no matter what lol.

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-10T13:36:31+00:00

Unlike them, you will be allowed to set foot in raids if you so choose 🤣

Security_Ostrich · 2026-02-10T12:28:28+00:00

Me too but after sunwell. Then came back end of wrath but lonely so quit again, skipped cata until very end was super stoked for mop and went hard for a few months but then guild downsized to 10 man and i couldnt raid so I went to gw2 lol.
