Mattherson NC we are badasses :D

Lets get this straight. The NC did not hold one hex. The NC fought for hours before bing pushed back to one hex. Don't forget how long it took the combined forces of the VS and TR to push us to that hex. Don't forget that the NC took a lot of land AFTER defending that hex. As for the tech plant. Funny how holding one hex seems to mean so much to you........but so little when someone else does it

ROFL. When the NC had that awful warpgate we spent all our time trying to kick the VS out of Tawrich. You get used to it.

BTW, I made a video of the fight in question. I made it more geared to addressing the very excuses that are constantly being given for the TR AND VS losing that fight. You'll see several shots of the map showing pop balances, along with the bugs. I cut down 64 minutes of video to roughly 9, so it's more of a summary, but includes the gal bombing the VS attempted...

PS: When I rendered the video it included 45+ minutes of black screen that was cut at the end. Am currently uploading corrected version, and will edit URL when it's done. It's really not 54 minutes

Yet you went through the trouble of typing an entire paragraph just to tell him you didn't read it.

The NC got pushed around the entire night ... They owned more than HAlf the map to start the night. They got pushed to 2 facilities; Akali and NS in which the lost akali and were just about warp gated besides that 1 hex. Of course NC took a lot of land after defending ... derp ... TR population dropped down to mid 20's.

Again, the point is ... this entire thread "NC are badass" ... gj at getting pushed to 1 hex, and being able to hold it due to server problems GJ .... I REPEAT GJ ...

Seems like if they held off the other two factions whose clear goal was to break the cont lock, then they succeeded and went on to broke TR's willpower cause people to rage log or move to another cont. That's how I see it.

GJ NC.

Your statement is inaccurate. At 1800 hours (6 pm eastern standard time), the TR were already beating down on Dahaka's front door while the VS were two hexes away from capping Mao. By 1930 hours (7:30 pm), the VS held Mao and the TR had taken Suarva.

By 1930 hours, the push slowed down as the NC danced around the TR zerg to hold onto as many hexes as possible while simultaneously trying to hold back the VS push. By 2000(ish) hours (8:30ish pm eastern), we were slammed into one hex and the server blew up.

So at no time at the "beginning of the night" did we hold half the continent. In fact, I played -all- day that day. We held more than half the continent several hours earlier. By 1600 hours (4 pm eastern) the TR push had already begun and the VS started pushing up the eastern front not long afterward.

By the beginning of prime time, we had far, far less than half the continent.

Somewhere inbetween 2130 and 2230, the VS got bored of their unofficial ceasefire with the TR and began pushing into their territory. The TR ultimately stalled at NS and finally gave up and left for another continent or logged out. The danger to losing the continent lock was over by 2245 (almost 11 pm eastern).

well even if you get pushed back to one hex, if you defend it and don't give up or lose it to a 3 way battle, with less resources than that is impressive, maybe not badass but impressive to be able to hold that last hex long enough to wear down the attackers.

They didn't want that hex anyway.

Yeah, I'd say his post (the guy Vapid quoted, not Vapid himself) is a card-carrying "I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am" member of TE.

It's kind of funny that he admits all TE really does is footzerg, and yet the bulk of my post specifically said that TE isn't as good as they think they are, because they mostly footzerg and that doesn't hold much more than a crown or a biolab in this game.

Guys.. you held a Hex for a while. Great job. VS do that, we don't post threads about it... actually... it kind of means you got your face smashed in. Which is understandable as both TR and VS were vested in kick you out of your bonus (VS did this on Indar for over a Month btw)... so GJ... not great awe inspiring job, ha ha ha you rule the server... but GJ your getting better.

Please thou keep angering TE.

I like how this change in NC only began to happen right after the patch. Interesting, that.

I'm also pretty fascinated how there are at least as many sub BR 10 players in NC as there are higher level players now. Almost as if there were an influx of new players to the faction. But why would that possibly happen?

Ridiculous nerfs and buffs.. nah... couldn't be.

Here's my perspective of that gal rush:

There was pretty much no time we weren't pushing forward after it

notice how the medkit doesn't heal because there was so much lag
and then the VS sundy in the canyon meters away from where the TR was setup before we took them out

Well NC, 4 days of holding Indar; broken this morning. Back to ghost capping Amerish and Esamir then?

PS: love you guys!

now that the VS has our ****** south east warpgate on Indar, isn't that their job? oh wait, we will just hold them anyway

That's what GOONs do. We don't really /care/ that much about "winning" or holding a cont lock. Nothing is more satisfying that watching BuzzCutPsycho succumb to fits of nerd rage. Many times, when we take territory, we ask ourselves, "Will taking this piss off the TE?" If the answer is an YES, you'll see us en mass.

the south east warpgate is definitely the hardest to get out of, and it is the most campable

Really? Are there? Show me the numbers. How are you tracking this? Feel free to enlighten us with the source of these "statistics" you're quoting. We'll be waiting.

welcome to the southeast warpgate on indar, prepare to have to fight for tawrich everday, multiple times per day
