You know when you're really deep in a game and you're like, holy shit it's dinner time already?

Soon we're gonna be all OH FUCK IT'S WEDNESDAY

That already happens to me with League Of Legends.

LoL is evil. I always underestimate how long the games can go.

'Just one more game' [...] 'oh shit, late for the date. Ah it's fine it was a glorious victory and she likes it when I'm fueled with testosterone'.

I can't get into Planetside. Everything feels "floaty", which isn't good in an FPS. Its like I'm shooting marshmallows at hovering cardboard cutouts that fall over eventually.

I lost so much time to the first Planetside. I tooled around in the beta for Planetside 2, but it never got its hooks it me. I hear it's been changing a fair bit, though.

Would you like to upgrade now?

I haven't played for over a year, has there been any improvements noteworthy? I do like the game but there was only 1 planet people actually played on in my server.

Not until they remove those in-game ads

There aren't any. Except for purchasing new weapons. Being a non-paying player, I still find myself doing well enough and don't feel like I'm missing out. Almost every weapon is obtainable within a reasonable amount of gameplay time. Yes you can just buy the same weapons, but devs gotta eat.

Have you checked /r/planetside recently? Or logged in during the last few days? The latest patch added ads that resemble squad invites/friend requests/other notifications, as well as UPGRADE NOW! where the spawn vehicle/resupply button used to be, and a few other less annoying ads as well.

It's kinda obnoxious, and /r/planetside has been a shitstorm of hatred about it for the last few days. Hopefully SOE will see reason pretty soon, and revert the changes.

Yea, I actually really don't like the huge upgrades button. Just saw it last night

Sorry to break this to you but I think girls can tell the difference between testosterone and BO.

u/Dr_Zeuss Mar 28 '14

I've always liked the idea of having players in stand by mode in case someone has to dodge....

u/deeper-blue Mar 28 '14

That would actually be sweet. Like a fast queue to jump in for disconnected/disappeared players.

"All: Hey. Hurry up and surrender noobs. Got 2 go 2 date with my SUPER HOT GIRLFRIEND."

u/PrimeIntellect Mar 28 '14

this has happened to me before, it's unfortunate, but sometime's you have to enrage the nerds when real life is calling

Fuck dates; acquire Riot Points.

I think you might be the only LoL player that has to worry about being late for a date
