Does TR have a place on Mattherson?

    Additionally, find one friend then buy a Marauder/thermal for your harasser.

    First, they never had that many people on at one time. They probably had around two platoons or so, maybe even three at best. That is around 130-140 people, not 400. Second, the TR didn't "drop off" without the Enclave. We weren't winning alerts then either, because The Enclave rarely participated in them. They were great at individual battles, but as far as leading the TR and all that, they were very much an individual outfit that did what they wanted and couldn't care less about what was happening.

    Speaking of TE, Mattherson TR really was doing a lot better when a group of hackers would fly into the spawn of whatever base they were about to attack and kill everyone.

    Some food for thought.

    TR shouldn't have to reload any of their guns also they should be hitscan and insta gib the default pistol should have AOE and damage tanks.

    e: MAYBE then they would be able to match the VS 0 recoil 0 bloom no bullet drop histcan lasers.

    at least you admit the VS weapons are incredibly overpowered

    All I can come up with is an overwhelming "EH..." I've been in enough alerts to know it isn't worth it (fun wise) to pass up a good 50/50 fight to go slam my head against the wall that is 66/33 odds. Why stop having fun what I'm doing to chase a small carrot on a big stick? If anything, I'd call it being lazy.

    I call it "having fun playing a game"
    I fight in the alerts because I earn more experience. However, it's only worth it if the fight is balanced. Rofl-stomps don't earn anywhere near the experience a good solidly-balanced fight does.

    I agree, it's not worth leaving a good 50/50 fight.

    Let's be clear though. If VS has enough people to fight in a 50/50 battle elsewhere AND enough to out-populate the alert by 50-100%, then that's the core issue we need to address.

    Great F'n movie. One of my favorites...but it's only $70 grand.

    So the NC Coalition plays on Fridays, and BWC does ops on Tues/Fri? If so, I'll be alting on the respective factions on those days (in addition to a lot more alting on them in general). Despite the great time I've had on my VS main in the first six months or so after release, it's not much fun anymore. Outside of a few hours during the afternoon and early evening, Mattie is a VS-dominated, fourth faction-plagued wasteland. Playing the other factions really hammers home that point.

    Just... can I use an Orion on my NC heavy? C'mon, I'll pay 500 SC!

    I never said it was your only character, only said I found it amusing your main character is most likely a Ceres VS and yet you wish to taunt Mattherson TR which has been underpopulated the majority of Mattherson's Existence.


    1.Thank you for acknowledging that we have a a lot of low BR's, they cause many TK related tank deaths on the battlefield too.:eek:

    2. VS Overpopulation was so much more extreme and gamebreaking than the NC overpopulation ever was, and to top it off the NC aren't nearly as organized or have the leadership/coordination/ great outfits that Mattherson VS does. NC being overpopulated was the greatest cert farm I could have ever asked for, but giving the VS an overpopulation that was on an even greater scale was and is a complete and total nightmare.

    3. "GINYU FORCE RULES" is something I look forward to hearing during a BWC OP because I know I'm about to get a ton of certs lol:D , but that being said constantly being trash talked while being outnumbered is draining and gets old fast. I'll do GOKU vs BWC in a 1V1 Outfit match all day long and I'll love it, but when they are present in a fight where the Vanu clearly outnumber but yet we are talked to like it was an even fight we lost is disgusting in terms of sportsmanship.

    GU12 made some good changes with populations... but then GU13 happened and a lot o f the population improvements were undone. Regardless, experienced players can still do well as TR on mattherson. New players should go to a different server however.

    Being a new BR1 TR on mattherson is about as anti-fun as playing against a level 25 Phantom lancer as a level 10 crystal maiden.

    Edit: @OP. Ignore the troll posts. Make a decision based on what you find enjoyable.

    If you compare the servers / continent areas, in almost every server TR has just 20% of the continent.

    But i think it just depends on how much players are online on the faction.
