[Suggestion] Briggs NC, can we please get organised?

This is what we do with over-population:
(btw it was during a Tech Plant Alert on Indar...)


Wait, it gets worse...
(later that day - yes, VS have 38% pop, but NC have 34% pop, TR only have 26% pop!)



It's plain embarrassing.

If you are an Outfit Leader or a Squad Leader, can you please TALK TO THE OTHER LEADERS and get some faction level organisation going?

Please...

Nova, I haven't played for a while, but I might jump onto my NC alt to try help out. I'm more or less bored with the game once TR lost our underdog challenge mode, so maybe trying to do something with the eternally ineffective Briggs NC could be fun for a bit

Sadly it seems Briggs NC is actually happy to be the 'farm' faction.
(Either farming or being farmed...)

TR does so much more with so much less pop, it's great to see.
It's just very annoying at the NC end, mainly because NC get less resources and no population bonus... when we should be dominating without question.

I think Briggs NC is suffering from having a multitude of small outfits.
(and maybe a temporary 4th faction shift, we'll see...)
Instead of a few big, good outfits (like RSNC, IB, AG7, D1RE, AUNC, TOG), we also have dozens of squad sized noob outfits derping around.
(They're soaking up the new players and likely not leading them very well, compared to if they had joined a larger / more established outfit.)

TR are still rolling with JUGA, BOTM, BOH, IDGA, 7OXS, KORN and all of those outfits work well and fight hard.
Even VS, after the TROL disruption, have GAB, VFD, EBAS, TCF8, EDG3 and FCRF, who seem pretty good and organised.

The REAL tragedy is the lack of VS on any continent other than Indar. On Esamir/Amerish, its almost always a near 50/50 of TR and NC.

At least you guys show up.

Wow, things really change fast, I've been off-line for a week, but before that every alert we were facing a NC steamroller. Was getting pretty old. Looking forward to getting back to my machine and bieng in on some TR Alert victories!!

Seriouosly tho NA, it seems to cycle, TR were the low pop, underdogs for such a long time, then the outfits got organized and started winning alerts, then the org got slack and NC got organized, so maybe you guys are just on the downward cycle for a while, but yeah, I don't know what the hell is happening to the VS. We found from the east WG that VS would basically ignore us until Mao tech and then zerg us all the way back to Rashnu. Be interesting to see how TR go from the North WG now, shame I am AFK until mid-feb, we'll probably be back at the east WG by then ............

Step 1: Get your factions lazy a** players out of their tanks, ESF's and libs and into some old fashioned army boots. Mechanised assets don't capture flags.

Step 2: Get organised ffs. Numbers alone do not make a winning side.

Step 3: Continue gloating about beating JUGA when you bring entire platoons to knock down our single squads. Makes us feel warm inside.

To each their own. Other continents are rather boring in my opinion, I'm pleased with the circumstances.

Dont know the Situation on Waterson but might it be that NC just got unlucky because TR/VS threw their troops on them and ignored each other?

Its basically this. I mean sure the NC could get more organised on Briggs, but the TR have been commenting for months that they prefer to fight the NC because the VS won't fight them.

Yeah no doubt the TR and VS are still fighting NC preferentially, probably just out of habit
(even though the Vulcan Harasser and ZOE MAX reigns are ended)

Even if NC are getting double-teamed, with 40% pop they should still be doing better, especially not getting warp-gated...

How much territory did you start off with? If you had around 10-20% territory in the beginning, the sluggish resource gain can hinder your forces immensely, regardless of their proportions. A high population is a substantial benefit as this game is all about numbers, but controlling facilities, especially main bases is just as key.

Oh yeah you guys get ganged so hard...

Only reason I know of that we like to fight NC is becuase you guys give us a good fight, VS are mostly noobs and a Zergfit (Except for VFD and a few others). I just don't think people consider the weaponry as much as you believe. I never worry about it, most inf is CQB and NC are the only ones with scat maxes......................

4th faction are generally the one to be blamed. NC briggs currently is filled with them.

the reason fight the NC = good farming material.

Gonna have to remember that line when the next double xp weekend comes along .

TROL are still very much around in the VS, they just aren't the 'only' outfit anymore. I still see them fielding a platoon or two fairly often.

I agree with the assessment that the Briggs NC seem scattered and uncoordinated. There's some fine players, but they're often pulling in three different directions at once.

Sometimes six!

Stupid NC. Today I had passengers in my sunderer who didn't bother changing seats so they would man the guns. Even when there were enemies around. I had like 4 people in seat 4 to 7.

were they low BR or something? Ive known how to change seat since BR2.

at least we held onto one territory =P
