How are Soltech populations?

    Just saw they're getting merged into Mattherson. Enough to get us to a population lock with queues during prime time?

    VS has the most members on SolTech.
    NC and TR usually have high 20% to low 30% world pop, while VS usually is around 38-45%.

    However, I played in a well organized TR offensive last week and we pop locked Indar easily.

    We're doing medium during prime time. Fights are pretty good sized. There normally are 2-4 hotspots on the map where you have Enemy Platoons to go fight. Of course it is all on Indar but there are usually a couple squads from each faction on either of the other two continents.

    The faction balance is also quite good, it is pretty close to even most of the time. The most spread you get is maybe 6-8 points between the highest faction and the lowest. VS has a slight edge most of the time but it isn't unreasonable or hard to handle.

    How is Mattherson looking?

    Indar has been up in the air for weeks now. Other conts are ghost capped by all factions round about throughout the day. VS being crippled by the crap gate and our Mags still broke as hell means no real effort coming from Purple. TR is still sliding down the grade curve like the banana splits. TE zergs East every night while NC basically holds the entire North of the map and never ventures south of the Hvar line.

    Lots of nothing.

    I honestly can't imagine any two servers have enough people on even at prime time currently to create queues when merged with one another. The servers never go above medium that I've seen, and there clearly is never anywhere near 3000 people on (I.E., half of the max server pop). Indar might get over 1000 occasionally (I.E., half of the max continent pop), so it might be the case that we'll see Indar having queues for a short while immediately after the merge, but once the other continents start actually being filled out there will be more reason for more players to go there, which will mean more reason still for even more players to go there, until the populations eventually settle (Indar will of course always have an edge whenever the Crown is being contested). So I doubt anyone has anything to fear.

    Im just hoping with the influx of ''new'' people to Mattherson we might actually get some good battles on Esamir & Amerish now :confused:

    Times have changed....

    VS NC are normally around 35 and TR 30, though often its almost dead even. I've been pretty happy so far now that the VS just don't steamroll everything with mag zergs.

    Hello Mattherson VS! Me and my small group of friends on Soltech look forward to merging with you to continue spreading the Vanu traditions!

    To the NC and TR: We do not come in peace. Join Vanu or die!

    Mattherson is relatively balanced pop wise, though after the patch I have seen less VS on to the point where they are about 30% to the TR and NC 35%.

    NC has some good outfits, GOON SMG etc, just avoid TAS as they can and will TK you constantly.
    TR basically has TE and AOD, which accounts for 90% of their numbers, highly organized but they have crappy leadership (in TE's case anyway). If you TR guys on Soltech have any kind of inter-outfit coms, avoid TE like the plague.
    VS has TEST, AT and GOTR, they tend to be quite organized as well even though they lack the numbers these days.

    Like everyone else, we barely fight anywhere but Indar, though we did manage to poplock Indar a few days ago.

    come at me vanu! I am ready!
  11. Bape

    OH yes lol avoid the TAS they will tk your *** on the spot lol. Goon will tk you if they capture a base their moto is we capture a base a NC has to die lol.
  12. Dr.Destro229

    like in the last thread you need to tell our leader who the hell they are!
  13. Serjikal

    I would take these last 2 statements with a grain of salt. I'm not part of TAS but have played in their platoons/alongside them and have never experienced the level of "TK" which Bape alludes to (find his other thread as well).

    GOON, TAS, CML, TG, WMD, BL, SMG pretty much make up the majority of the NC Mattherson Outfits. As stated, TE, AOD, BONK are your TR outfits, with GOTR, NNG, AT, TEST, making up the VS outfits.

    I've actually never had a single TAS TK and I've been with them since early beta.

    The biggest issue with Mattherson is, IMO, that the NC generally roll through Amerish and Esamir at once while being warpgated on Indar. As soon as we get as far south as the crown some giant beacon goes off at the VS/TR warpgates and they doubleteam us back to our gate. It was that way before the rotation, too.

    EDIT: Effectively what that means is as NC you have 2 choices: get farmed/steamrolled on Indar or go cap empty bases on the other 2 continents. Maybe once every couple of days there will be a big indar push but that always fails within 2 hours or so.

    As one of the leaders of TAS i can say we dont allow griefing in our outfit. We will kick & have kicked many people for being *** hats. We dont TK on purpose & will remove anyone that does. unless your transmitting lame *** music :)

    We run 1 to 3 platoons on any given night & do a lot for the NC faction on matherson. If you have one of our members grief you let us know & we will look into it. Ive had some other NC factions blow up friendly sundies so they can deploy there own. So dont give us **** because you prob walked in the middle of road during a tank rush.

    Well then Soltech NC coming and joining you sounds like it will be awesome. Because we have some pretty strong NC outfits that organize full platoons to prevent us from getting warpgated and push out.
  18. Tycoh

    The TR on SolTech are the best coordinated players i've played with compared to any server. But that's assuming that they organize, which is usually at 9:00 pm. Hell, we've held off both full teams in the Planetside Showdown event.

    The NC performance on Mattherson has been amazing lately, I've been seeing great battles nearly every day from several of our major outfits. I'd have to disagree saying we all go to the other continents, TAS usually has at least one platoon on Indar at any given time, sometimes as many as 3 or 4.

    not to mention had some great fun going up against the TR/VS outfits. I still remember a few days ago a GOTR (VS) squad dropped in on my outfits training session :D Thankfully I was outside overseeing it so I saw the gal fly in. It was a good chance to test what we trained and it turned out to be a great skirmish, one I doubt either of us was expecting.

    Just so you guys know, there's an NC Coalition on Mattherson, we're going to be doing regular out-fit joint operations soon, so if you're interested look it up.

    As for the complaints from Bape, can you stop trash talking our outfit? You've been floundering around this forum spouting **** at every chance you get, not to mention admitting to going on indiscriminate killing sprees against our members, innocent or not. You stir up so much crap it's impossible to deal with it, there's no way to tell if you started it or not, and it's certainly impossible to tell if you're being honest about it.

    TAS doesn't condone griefing in any form, we have and will kick anyone we find out is doing so. I've actually been asking some of the people who make these complaints for details and we have dealt with most of them, the only exception so far is Bape because he's a troll.
    ---------------

    Either way, I'm looking forward to fighting together with and getting to know all of you after the merge.
