Mattherson NC we are badasses :D

Holy God you NC and your tears. SE is fine. Matter of fact we have the sweet, sweet starship trooper base, woot.

1st faction to do it.. maybe that's one of the reason TR don't care about capping continents. Just my opinion.

Been there done that.. waiting for meta-game.

The fights were fun but the server lag and bugginess was ridlicious, I threw a frag nade into a group of NC watched it blow up.... jet packed to the top of a tower...25 seconds later I get a kill screeen of 6 NC and a suicide screen ....
At one point I respawned and suicided as soon as I respawned... VS took and held their ground, too bad the server crapping out prevented the TR form doing the same...

It often happens ,NC with inferior equipment, defy the odds often surrounded by TR & VS attacking at all angles, NC fight them of and win, at least for a number of hours. It's fun for me doing both, being on NC and attacking them, some of the battles are epic.

TR and VS most certainly did have a truce, or at least the major outfits did. [ORDERS] was full of "Don't attack the TR"

After TR failed to do their job and capture NS Salvage we got bored and started capping their stuff, once we did that I knew there was no hope as they would pull guys off to fight us.

p.s. Yes the NC on Matherson are badasses btw, as are the TR... much props. It's good to be together in our little endless war.

I don't know about it being a visual way to stimulate an attack. never been on that side of one. i will say however it was a huge OH SH*T moment for me when I saw them. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. I thought for sure we were about to get ripped a new one. Well played sir, well played.

Any excuse in a storm huh? I get it, all those VS who went to the battle were actually replacement players you hired to fill in for you because the "good players" couldn't play the game in that state.

Heads up to all VS who have been playing since the patch. Selentic thinks your mostly bad players, because most of the good ones aren't playing.

If these are you bad players, send them in more often. They put up a way better fight than your "good players" Server pops are up.I rarely had to wait in line to play Indar. Now it's an almost everyday thing. So either people you seem to think aren't playing, actually ARE playing. Or a boatload of high level players who took a break have come back. Either way, the battles are bigger and better.

Your right...you werent there. We werent near the base. We were out on the edge of the region fighting two sides of the strip of land we held. A couple of times we thought the enemy was getting in behind us but we stopped them.

There was no population advantage on Indar at all for the NC.

He doesn't think nor claim to be a military genius. He is making a valid point: You never smash your head up against an incoming zerg. You dance around it and take back what they roll over when they move on. It's called strategy.

whoa man best turn down the fox news spin a bit and read my posts again

Incorrect. Fact: The first hour and a half of prime time, we were actually down 7%. By the 2nd hour, the population stabilized at 33/33/33 with the occasional 1% or 2% shift.

One player or even 10 doesn't make a difference in a huge fight. You can be the "awesomest pwntastic pro" but the beauty of Planetside 2 is that no matter how "good" you think you are, you don't matter in the larger scheme of things. Coordination and strategy win the day - just as it did last night when the NC danced around the Zerg most of the night to drag out the hours until they were finally locked back at Alkali. Where they held until they could dance back around to pick up NS and make that the new "last stand".

Props to NC. Haters are just upset because we pulled it off despite all the criticism.

Around 2200 central time, you had 54% for about an hour. You pushed TR down to about 3 territories. Good fights.

Hah, that's hilarious. We figured something was happening when we watched the map and noticed you guys were colliding with the TR. I'm glad your truce didn't last long. If I were VS, I'd have a bad taste in my mouth if I ever accepted any sort of "unofficial" cease fire with Buzzcutpsycho. That guy is a dbag to his Outfit. He takes this game far, far too seriously.

TR's already been at that warpgate before, back in tech test and early beta. Nothing new.

TR has also already had at least one triple-lock on Mattherson since release. Nobody cares which empire is boring enough to ghost-cap Failerish and Failsamir at 3:00am. I can't imagine being the sort of person that would spend time watching progress bars move to see a map change colors with almost no fighting going on, I would gouge my eyeballs out by minute 10.

Fighting yesterday was pretty good, too bad the server took a dump all over it.

OP is one funny, stinky hippie with all the funny s*it he said.

Roger that, but by then the fight was pretty much over. Well, that's not true. But the danger of losing the cont lock was over. I think the TR (or it seemed so) began to lose players to disinterest or whatever when they realized they wouldn't push us off the continent. Same with the VS. (Which is what caused the population spike for the NC) Things were /starting/ to relax by...I want to say 10ish at night (eastern time) because I was logged out by 11:30 eastern and we had already pushed and taken back several territories on both fronts of the battle.

Again, this is just my speculation as to why there was a sudden population spike. Not a fact.

End of the day, it was a great fight. I'm getting tired of all the hate (yeah I know i dished out enough of it myself). I just get frustrated when another faction does something and it's all skill and awesomeness. We do it and there are 500 excuses why it doesn't count. Props to everyone who fought, regardless of your faction. Lets do it again soon.

There are players from all three factions that are not American that play during off-peak hours. It's not just ONE faction who is guilty of this. Not that there is anything to be guilty about. You have your night shift and you have your day shift. If your night shift sucks, that's on you, not the night shift of the opposing force.
