Mattherson NC we are badasses :D

I personally Bolt Driver'd 54 stationary TE members in one life. I am Vasily Zaytzev and this is my Stalingrad.

Edit: to be fair though, half of them were probably distracted by listening to that Buzzcut guy yelling.

i miss my buddy superDeluxe. he's now nc on this server. You ***** whyd you leave your TR WG camping buddy and #1 wingman for NC. you ****er lol


We shot down so much TR it wasent even funny

re-roll vs already and we'll camp these noobs like old times and then lead the zerg sketters into our AA sunder set up lol

Let's clear up some confusion.

Indar continent pop was dead even 32 % across the board at the time of the showdown at the last hex.

TR and VS had an unofficial agenda to take their side of the NC territory up to the warpgate. They didnt conspire but they thought the same thing like any faction would on any server. If they happened to stray into each other's side, then expect to be killed cause experience is experience.

Showdown was at Alkali, VS to the east and TR to the south.
Grid was so laggy that vehicles could not be repaired, ammo packs didnt work, and some people had unlimited jump jets.

Facts:
NC held against at least 58% of the indar pop. 6% of the pop was probably scattered to hold the surrounding territory.
NC had limited to no resources because we had no territory while VS and TR were resource rich.
There was definitely render walls out there that you could not see the other side until like 30-40 meters.

NC eventually lost Alkali but took Salvage to hold the lock. VS was frustrated with TR and because to cap west. TR tries to push into salvage but fail. The rest of the NC pop who could not get into indar were on Amerish and Esmair, taking TR and VS continent locks.

Consequently VS got warpgated on Amerish and lost their bonus while TR was in danger of losing theirs on Esamir. VS and TR pops began to the bleed when it was clear that their push was defeated. NC wins by a hair.

So can NC do it again tonight? That remains to be seen.

I agree, it was fun until the servers puked. When things start running bad reminding me of Unreal Tournament on 56k days, I called it quits.

Pretty accurate. It wasn't 58% of the population on any one point though; it was more than 6% that was spread throughout the hexes surrounding, and there was a legitimate push on the TR warpgate that sent a couple of platoons scurrying back for the TR, not to mention the VS forces during the first big akali push. Additionally, it's not like the vanu and tr were standing side by side against space 'murica, it was generally one faction versus another. Also that repair lag pushed all the way out to at least the lat 7 line, that was a bit ridiculous.

All in all, fun battle, lets do it again real soon.

Assuming the NC can keep Salvage and the servers don't magically get upgraded, yes. Could the TR do it? Assuming they can keep Arc Bio and the servers don't get magically upgraded, yes there, too. Could the VS do it? Probably not, that corner doesn't have any deathtraps.

What I'm saying is TR/NC NAP and gate the VS until rotation.

edit: What we're learning from these Alamo incidents, imo, is that there needs to be more than just "capture this ***** of a point to win" mechanic.

I look at it like BF2142. To anyone who has played Titan mode, destroying the titan from the inside is nearly impossible as the two routes can easily be plugged by guys hosing an infinite number of bullets/grenades down the only ways in. The alternative is to control the map and have the missiles whittle away at the titan until it pops. Two ways to win. PS2 currently has 1, throw bodies down that hall until you win or get bored and leave. As the people on Indar only care about Indar, there's no incentive to have the entire empire leave that one dune. And, as this thread shows, the ****** swellage from sitting on that one dune (not to mention siiiiick cert farm) means that boredom won't happen. Not for the defenders, at least. For more examples see: The Crown and any Biolab.

Design flaws, the game's still young, it'll get hammered out.

or not.

Yep TR and VS as gang up agains us and Failed miserably like the ones they are Pathetics scum bags

The enclave as fail AT as fails and many more noobs on the others side lollllll whiout tanks and resources we have taken out their miserable attempt to crush us

they will probably cap the continents while we are sleeping lol shame on them

NC 1
TR 0
VS - 2 ( also their color is Pink )

We need to figth over reasources and not try to Lock a continents , ressources as to merge from region to regions , depleate when you harvest a certain amount of it , and come back in others ' we need extractor device that can be destroy / repair to cut down the ressources harvest each zone who worth ressources as to worth a certain amount when its depleated it merge to another ones where intel (( discover )) some ressources to exploits

This is the only systhem thats can create a true immersive FPS/RTS metagame in planetside , ive tell it since the techtest and iam still thinking its the way to go

May i say that the whole (( metagame )) problems as been create by hirering malorn and former enclave member who as (( work )) on the metagame element , we have to thanks him for this continents lock crap and techplant bonus lollll

these thing are jokes and just pale copy and paste of Ps1 wannabe ideas


Planetside 2 was suposed to be meaningfull and strategics and everything was suposed to be based on denying ressources to the others empire and gathering ressources for your empire

the strategies was suposed to be base on that and i think they should do it like i told

In part of the missions sythem the ressources systhem will make players defend for a certain amount of time some strategics points the figth isnt going to be stagnant on the same regions there will be more spot witha decent amount of player to figth with and agains

as it is its free for all + pseudo total domination crap thats create imbalance and frustration to many players

You know, when 2 factions share a border with your last remaining territory, it isn't rare for a 3 way to happen.


There was no truce.

Their was definitely a coordinated effort by major players on the TR and VS side towards neutralizing the NC. Give credit where credit is due. Also, NC 3 capped this morning (I just logged on to check on the daily sale and noticed it). I know it's not primetime, but it's still a nice effort for those playing at this hour so congrats to them.

That battle was super fun, but the game was basically falling apart at the seams. LA and infiltrators had basically infinite energy (I was sniping and if I turned off my cloak for an instant I had full energy again for some reason), unexploded grenades and mines were floating up in the air all over the place, ammo packs were busted, most NC were unable to repair their vehicles, even in the middle of the warpgate (though I got experience for trying oddly). I tried to repair my vehicle over and over again without any success, which was a little annoying since there was a huge battle going on just a few hundred yards away.

Oddly though, despite the lag my sniper shots seemed to register very accurately (though obviously none of it was done at that long of a range due to rendering).

I think one of my personal funniest moments was when I hopped out of my Lightning to attempt to repair it and it drove away..... (not too far, but far enough for a big WTF moment)

I know for a fact there was no truce.

And yeah, the game was falling apart for a good few hours last night. People trying to repair my MAX suit would get an instant repair, then I would drop back to my old health again + 1 bar or so. So it took like 10x longer to heal me, until we kinda figured out the bug.

Excuse us for not being able to push the 5-10% pop advantage NC off their 1 last territory, you should be ashamed for getting slaughtered, not proud for having that much of a pop advantage and 1 territory. Even if it was dead even pop, its the same, cause we're not going to have all our pop fighting you way up there.

I did the same thing just with ~50 per life. People ran in place for 2-3 seconds at a time as I uncloaked, killed a stationary guy, cloaked and repeated. I've never seen server lag that bad but it on my new character I hit all sorts of freaky levels of K that I didn't think non (pre-nerf) libs could get (less than fifty deaths in total and hundreds of kills from a few hours of game play).

EDIT: Cloaking took 1-2 seconds each time =/.

Sigh I haven't logged in a while, but I highly doubt this happened.

First of all we, the VS, hate the TR more than the NC so I can't see the VS allying with the TR.

Secondly, NC on Matterson sucks really bad so hearing you talking about being badass simply makes me laugh.

You need to calm down, kiddo. No one pissed in your cheerios. Rage less, play better. The ONLY time you win is when you win with numbers. Period. Oh, wait, except last night when you couldn't even accomplish that with the help of the entire VS faction. Wake up, kiddo. You got beat. We won. Have a nice day...kiddo. (Don't like being called a kid? Feel free to graduate from that title by growing up and acting like an adult instead of insulting people you don't know.)

Impossible to do things means impossible to attack, it does not mean impossible to defend since you simply have to exist.

And we did break Alkali when server lag got so bad we could just run up to the point.

Don't know about the rest of my TR brothers, but I would sooner dance naked on the Crown then ally myself with a VS.

AHEM......UES....... GET CRUSHED NC

This battle could have been so epic, but the server couldn't handle it at all. No vehicles could be repaired, no ammo could be reloaded, render distance for infantry seemed to be 50 meters if you were lucky. I can't count the number of NC vehicles and infantry I killed because they'd get stuck from lag. Seriously SOE, get it together.

I wasn't there, but it sounds like they held it because the server **** itself and nobody could actually fight there. This gives the defenders the advantage since they just have to sit in the base and wait, while the attackers have to fight through the rendering walls, lag, and broken vehicles.
