They grow up so farm

Yesterday, my son reached the last part of the Basic Training directive. So, use the Warpgate, pull an ESF, and get 3 kills with an ESF.

He had never used an ESF before, so we headed to the VR for a little half-hour of training, mainly crashing into trees and shooting still targets on the ground with the default nosegun.

Then I converted all his (not so) hard-earned certs into a Banshee with thermals and hover chassis lvl3, and we got back to Amerish. NC were attacking Onatha, so there were targets on the pods. After a first crash in a mountain, we tried a second time, and he got his three kills fairly easily. Then he had to bail, and got shredded on arrival by a HA with a shotgun.

His first A2G mini-farm. It was such a nice father-and-son moment. I think I shed a tear.

TL;DR Banshee smiley-in-the-shape-of-a-heart.

Heh, well, like father like son they say.

That said, I play like a coward, always have. He doesn't. He plays his LA bravely, without fear of dying.

In fact, he kinda inspired me to be braver, at least on my TR alt on Miller, the one I use to play with him. Isn't that a beautiful story ?

..You're letting your son play Planetside? I need to call child protective services.

(But that sounds pretty cool! Hope there's many more moments like this to come!)

This much salt can stunt a child's growth.

I added the links because people often confuse reality with tv.

Don't forget about the trial feature! You can trial the A2G nosegun or pods, which should be enough time to get three kills.

Willingly giving your son cancer? This could have been prevented.

Even a kid can farm with Banshee. Got it. Let him try it with PPA, see how that works out.

Haha exactly. To this day it's still my fastest auraxium :)

Well if thermal removal goes through, PPA with marker may very well become the only working A2G nosegun.

what kind of responsible parent does this to a child? Its inevitable that if he plays too much you will not like his play style and come to regard your own son as a shitter.

right now A2G is very topical, why take the risk.

To paraphrase you, what kind of parent comes to regard their own son as a shitter ?

And about me not liking his playstyle ? I'm not a judgemental person, everyone plays like they want, I always play games the way I want, and not like it "should" be played. I expect he'll do the same. It's a rich game, and we have tons of different playstyles to chose from.

For these 3 ESF kills, A2G was the logical route, it's 10000 times easier for someone who has never flown.

Just FYI, if you ever want to level an alt, you can get those kills in VR training (IIRC)

I think DBG patched this out when they reenabled the tutorial for new players, it worked for my main but it didn't when I recently created an alt.

Props to him, I've a few hundred hours on PS2 and I doubt I have 3 esf kills and I'm a 23 year old dude.

i dont mind judgmental assholes, they re fun to kill

its when the devs actually listen to the downgrade skill and buff zerg douchebags and implement:

"cater to the lowest common denominator"

thats when i get salty
