You propably met the legendary master chief and his golden big balls of flame spittin solstice, forged by the gods themselves on mount olympus , it is told that the one who holds the golden solstice can kill a planet with 1 bullet, so your lucky son.... your lucky he only killed u in the virtual world, u got away with it
OK so... My first post on the forums was about how bad the solstice is by comparison to any other starting gun, just saying. It's NOT a very strong weapon and only in my wildest dreams can I bring down a heavy with it. Mind you I have every meaningful upgrade available to the basic solstice carbine! Chances are you are getting killed by hackers. The Solstice is actually is decent gun, if you are good at aiming at the face at under 30 meters, but other than that it's nothing special and if you are landing body shots it will take a nearly full clip of HITS to kill an engineer who knows how to use his shield.
If a default kitted TR engie and a VS engie both enter a battle at the same time, with equal skill level, it is up the VS engie to make a mistake else he'll auto-win that encounter. Every single time baring lucky TR head shots.
The Solstice is custom-crafted by Chuck Norris himself in order to decimate things while he's busy blinking.
Vanu's default armor is practically invisible at night and they have tanks that can strafe.. they can frikken strafe! Vanu shouldnt even get guns that would almost balance it out
On the other hand, VS very clearly stand out anywhere on the rocky side of Indar and on anything Esamir. Easier to see during the day, harder to see during the night. Red and black on the other hand is equally hard to see both day and night. The strafing of the tank is a necessity, otherwise how would they fire the fixed cannon? l2p
The problem is that you can't really know if it's actual skill, a cheater, hit box detection acting up or flinch contributing to misses. There are so much at play when facing another player, it makes assessing any wins or losses difficult.
One day I got tired of the really long daylight cycles in this game, playing Vanu I do so prefer the night. So, I killed the sun with my Solstice. This day is still remembered annually on the shortest day of the year, and marks the beginning of Winter. The day was named in honor of the mighty Solstice. True story.
