For me other than the lack of time it's the toxicity, if you have say one hour to play, do you really want to listen to some no-life cunt who has been playing all day screaming at you because they are tilted as fuck and need to blame everyone else but themselves? Well I certainly don't need that shit in my life.

Honestly there second someone starts talking during a game I just go and mute them. 99.9% of the time it's really annoying. Once in a while you get someone who actually knows what they're doing and talking about, isn't a dick, and actually gives good advice or help. But that happens so rarely it's not worth it

Adding a bit of an anecdote, I’m not good at games but when someone (be it friend or foe) is leagues worse than me I give them advice

For example I’ve been getting back into planetside and this level 7 was trying to kill me as an infantry unit with a rocket launcher (anti tank weapon, can’t one shot infantry) so even with my crappy aim I dispatch him without so much as a nick to my shields. So I send him a direct message that the rocket launcher is for tanks and he should use his LMG for infantry battle

Basically help your newbies

How is Planetside in 2024? I never was really good at it, but I liked the coordination or when a full platoon was assembled and dropped on a hot spot.

I’ve been playing for about a few days since I stopped playing about a year ago and it’s decent

I have a few alright fights and some good ones, standard planetside stuff. If you ever wanna hit me up here’s my abomination of a name and flop is spelled with a zero not an O if your on Connery (us west)

Thanks for the info. I will save that comment and hit you up if I decide to start again.

Oh right... I totally forgot about the toxicity. That also was very different "back then". Even though we weren't much less anonymous. Being decent and honourable just meant something.

We even played in a league with one player who sucked major ass and brought us down. But she had so much fun and that's what counted. Noone cared. Winning was great, but having fun and having a fair competition was greater.

I don't listen to any cunts in online games, voice chat is off. For some reason the kids these days think you can't play a game without a headset and mic on. I don't even own one of those dumbass headsets. I can still be competitive in FPS games without any of that too.
