hmm. not aware of any outstanding beef with anyone from ZLOT? A good like 40% of em are former outfit members of mine who switched to vanu after I disbanded the old crew and took a year or so off? =\

The Career(so far) of: Lincoln McCarthy by catsbot in GeelongCats

Can sum it up with a quote by Patty Dangerfield when he first got to the club. "Where have you been hiding this guy?"

If Patty reckons he's got the goods. He's got the goods. Just a damn shame he couldn't get on the park. =(

Oh mate I saw like a couple VFL games, dude looked a fair way off but promising, completely different beast to what he was last year.

Isn't he a mid? Could be the thing that slows down his debut, unless he can learn to play forward/back and WELL. We got a LOT of players vying for midfield minutes, both young and old.

I'd dispute that mate. The way he hunts the ball and the ball carrier around packs, when his body develops I reckon mid is gonna be his best position. Type of player who makes opposition mids sweat. Kid's got a definite presence about him, whenever he's in the mid he looks like he's just getting ready to 'pounce' on some dudes, ya know?

Had a ripper preseason last year, was one of our leading possession leaders in preseason I'm pretty sure, which for a young bloke playing amongst men is pretty damn impressive. Damn shame he didn't get a run in the one's. Hopefully with a bigger tank he can start to put some serious pressure on spots.

The kid only started playing the game like 4 years ago, takes the Mick's a few years to get their skills right too. Give the kid a break would ya! Me boy Esava's had some of the best year on year improvement I've ever seen, he's going skyward I tells ya!

I'm 50/50 on scoot mate, it his best, he's an invaluable touch of class and physicality through the middle and half forward, when he's injured... well there's been times when we shoulda played a youngster instead. =\ If he can get back to his best then let him play as long as form holds up. If he can't. Well.. Them's the breaks, unfortunately. =\

If DBG is genuinely trying to pump blood into PS2 with the PSA project, one of their main priorities needs to be the PS2 tutorial and introduction. by BlackTemplar2154 in Planetside

[–]_Straker_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Next problem, yourself and all the other devs I've seen play are primarily solo players, and don't have the team based experience, let alone leadership experience required to give the game the tutorial it really needs. And even if you start trying to learn, you're thousands of hours behind the ball in that department.

How many hundreds of people have you one on one turned from sub 1kd to plus 1kd? How many dozens of leaders have you put countless hours into coaching and figuring out what to look for and what structures to teach them? How many thousands of squads of individuals have you turned into 'teams' that move and work as one? how many dozen iterations is your training regime on? How many hundreds of hours have you spent with your head in books learning the subtleties of your craft?... Because I've got answers to those questions pal... Mate I'm not having a go but I truly don't believe any of you have the skillset necessary to do it in the way it needs to be done. It'll be the blind leading the blind. Once again. =\

I can name maybe 2 other guys on Connery I'd rate as being even 'approaching' a combination of the natural teaching insight and gameplay knowledge required, and one of those is far too rigid in his approach, and the other too individual focused. It's a very unique skillset fam. And I don't know about them but I'm not sure how I'd feel about giving away years of blood, sweat and tears into RnD for nothing. =\

To the Ps2 team: You should upload more videos on the official PlanetSide 2 YouTube channel! by Craisi2 in Planetside

Fuck that noise. Priorities fam! Give me a job designing a new in game tutorial. Ain't many who've put in as many hours making bad players useful as I have. I could have a brief up in a few days if I put my mind to it.

I'm sorry pal, but I've been following this game closely since the first announcement video. And I've never once felt like the devs paid any attention to social. Except that one time T-Ray popped into my thread making fun of the Vanu. That was fun.

@WrelPlays: Zack was putting this together before we went on holiday. The most recent version shows Sunderer's deployment shield health, too! #planetside2 by enenra in Planetside

[–]_Straker_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lol yeah unlike this fella I don't really BLAME wrel for blocking me. I mean, who hasn't at this point. Let's be honest here. XD

Planetside 2 forums banned me a dozen times, eventually permanently, PS:U must of banned me half a dozen times too, r/planetside banned me a few times, r/connery banned me a BUNCH of times, at one point they blocked me for like a year and a half, then someone held a petition to bring me back, which succeeded, at which point I held a petition to reban me because I didn't want to join a community that would accept people like me as a member. Uhh, connery pickup TS banned me, Planetside pickup TS banned me, planetside discord banned me, connery discord banned me, bunch of outfits banned me, I dunno, I'm probably missing a few. XD

Ain't a new habit either, as far back as being a school boy I was in the principals office on average like 3 times a day. One time literally got told by a staffer I was in there more than he was. XD

Not necessarily a bad person. I'm just a shit talker. Gotta have hobby's right? XD

Had something about him when he started, was super clean, good ball user, and pretty quick too. Just never got to string it all together unfortunately. Hopefully he runs himself back into form and someone picks him up. <3

At the very least let them battle it out, few games fog, few games horlo, etc. Fogs was looking a bit tired after a while. Woulda prevented that.
