Planetside 2 V6 - VS capped Indar? It's more likely than you think - Games

TR on Waterson has had a consistently extremely low population, every now and again we get to almost matching the NC, but I've only ever seen us have the most pop. once or twice, both at the dead of night when one extra person on can give you like a 30% boost to your pop. :v: VS has the same problem sometimes, but not as severe. NC is always waaaay on top of both of us.

The entire Pre-Season was just TR winning every land grab because neither the VS nor the NC could stand up, even together. Hell, it was part of the reason I took a break from the game was because going up against the TR was like hitting your head against a brick wall repeatedly.

Connery is getting a bit low on TR pop since the warpgates were rotated :C On another note, I made two very nice new friends today! One was a fine engineer who was willing to follow me through hell and back in order to keep my tank healthy and the other was possibly a gay redneck who kept asking for "a quick once over from Doc Holmes" I'm still not sure why he called me Holmes but he was nice enough.

Factions having a larger pop than another one is usually grounds for the Forumside to pick something in said factions posession and complain about it until it gets nerfed. Case in point, any of the empire specific Rocket launchers each week after they were launched. First it was the Pheonix (partly justified as it one shot infantry) then the lancer (it was never changed but nobody seems to complain anymore) and now the thing i see, moaned about most is the striker... even though the striker has had no buffs since deploment as far as I know. Planetside 2, where the grass is greener in the other mans biolab.

[QUOTE=Kebab;43542718]Connery is getting a bit low on TR pop since the warpgates were rotated :C[/QUOTE] I must be getting on at the wrong times, because everytime I get on, VS, TR and NC are all pretty close in the pop count.

[QUOTE=mon_ons;43543382]I must be getting on at the wrong times, because everytime I get on, VS, TR and NC are all pretty close in the pop count.[/QUOTE] To be honest it's probably me getting on at the wrong times since I'm in the UK. When I first created my character Connery was the only server that showed up so I had to join it. So during the day for me it's pretty much dead and then at night everything kicks off.

At the Tarwich Tech Plant with a platoon of guys, and we try to tell the platoon leader, "Sir, we need to fall back to the Regent Rock Garrison! The enemy is in the hills shooting down on us, and we are unable to fire back!" His response? "Lets just farm certs a little bit longer!" ... And this is why I prefer to command :(

And this is why I prefer to command :([/QUOTE] Yeah that happened during an Amerish Alert in Waterson were the NC decided to all fight over Iknam with the VS and the TR were able to push and take a bunch of our territories. I was the one platoon attempting to prevent that shit from happening back because of no lattice, it was nearly impossible because of back cappers and such. I wasn't in command or in squad lead so I couldn't rip off NC command's head.

100% fool proof way of making sure your faction doesnt take that point/hex. Park the sunderer on a hilltop. Snipers for days.

Nothing hurts me more than when our noble squad leader has to go and he leaves the next person in line to command and the dude doesn't even has a mic. I mean this guy just typed "C'mon let's go squad" and placed a waypoint in the middle of NC territory. After I told him what we needed to do he flew us over (I use the term flew [I]very[/I] loosely) in a galaxy towards a biolab but landed us in the middle of arsecrack nowhere when he bumped into a hill and damaged the ship, most of us were engineers so we all clambered out to make a speedy repair since we spotted a couple of Reavers in the distance. As we were about to get back in he took off and said "hey guys just wait here I'm gonna pick up my friend on Indar" and flew back to the warp gate. An hour later I spotted his icon on the map flying over the same spot where he left us and he was typing "where are you guys at?" In squad chat. Me:"Half a continent away mate" "Oh well I'll pick you up" Gosh darn some people

When I get fed up with the game and am in a leader/command role I always make sure to pass it on to someone I know is trustworthy. Playing since day 1 in the same outfit you learn what members are good at leading those that are not so good.

So what is tonight's update about?

[QUOTE=Framperton;43553709]So what is tonight's update about?[/QUOTE] The new ESF weapons apparently. [quote=Higby]Barring unforeseen catastrophe (always a possibility!), the weekly game update including the new ESF weapons will be live tomorrow AM PST.[/quote]

Oh dear.

Oh my god, NC just completely wiped the TR and VS in Waterson.

I was evidently wrong when I said that the TR were losing grip on Connery. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/885256357781032090/10AC30220CD87EECA21A0CFF2309F5580DD90C88/[/t] We went from barely holding the bases around our warpgate to this in about 2 hours, I also got to lead a platoon for the first time which was awesome.

So there's a "Chrome Laser Sight" weapon attachment on the PTS now. It doesn't look any different.

[QUOTE=Swilly;43553977]Oh my god, NC just completely wiped the TR and VS in Waterson.[/QUOTE] nc has been raping tr+vs on waterson for the last few days. I think their pop is hovering around 48% right now

[QUOTE=ief014;43554161]nc has been raping tr+vs on waterson for the last few days. I think they're pop is hovering around 48% right now[/QUOTE] It was when I last checked, most of my outfit hating this right now. They want a fight and they hate the steam rolling.

Quite happy about the Scout radar changes/addition. While it takes away a nearly crucial defensive item, I always felt that it helped the people on the ground the best. Since the ground people do the important things like capping points, it was always my go-to thing to put on my ESFs. Certainly didn't hurt that I could search and destroy people with a banshee/shotgun cannon either. Either way, since I've really gotten into flying ESFs (Or at least practicing not getting shot down instantly.) this patch makes my bits tingle.

Bought some station cash tommorow to buy myself a composite armor and helmet for my Heavy. Bought an armor for engineer by mistake ;_;

Do you guys know how big the game is by chance?

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;43556548]Do you guys know how big the game is by chance?[/QUOTE] Steam says 12.5GB

From memory, its about a 10gb download while compressed. But yeah, 12.5gb uncompressed.

So the server maintenance went in when we were going to crush the living shit out of both the NC and the VS on an alert on waterson. We had like, 55% pop on the continent and then halfway trough the alert the server closed for maintenance god damn it...

Oh crap the new ESF guns are coming out now, I did not expect that.

[QUOTE=jiggu;43557317]Oh crap the new ESF guns are coming out now, I did not expect that.[/QUOTE] FUCK YES. Flying is the main thing I do and was not expecting them to be releasing this yet. Love the changes to fire extinguishers they are what I use already and are great for stopping people insta gibbing you. Now they have doubled they efficiency of them I am really happy. + time to play about with some new guns.
