    Yea, probably should, but right now I'm just disgusted.

    I think we all know what is needed, nerf NC MAX again and everything will be fine.
    That's like lupus, it's always the answer.

    I played NC on Matt on release, VS were the underdogs. NC side would roll both TR and VS when GOON and several other outfits hit their prime time. At the time, many people didn't really enjoy Vanu because the weapons felt like you were trying to kill someone with a wet noodle, the lack of damage, and issues with hit detection in larger fights robbed the VS of their advantages (what we believed at the time, TR ROF was like a golden shower and the hard hitting NC stuff was amazing). ROF was the king stat with any weapon, the ability to throw as much lead down range was more important than damage really.

    The reason you keep losing points is not just because of population issues, there have been many fights where we've gone in with less and won because of coordination. Your lack of it and the vast numbers of lone wolves on your side is really kicking your ***.
    The loss of TE and BCP though has been a blessing for us (the server, not just Vanu) though, we've started to see much more air and other tactics out of TR now. It's refreshing to know that you all aren't riding his coat tails now, and maybe we'll see something good come of it from TR. That person practically ruined TR, and the fact that he's gone means that we will hopefully see some good units emerge that don't follow his warped method of leading.

    GINYU FORCE RULES was something NC started and from what I've been told, we just followed up and kept using it every time we roll a point. You may also realize that we tend to jump on people when they trash talk, we all enjoy it. We also enjoy a good fight, and have complimented people on that fact many times. If you think that it's some sort of elitist crap, YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS HAHAHAHA

    GINYU FORCE RULES!



















    P.S. We all get PHENOMENALLY massive raging purple hard-ons when you people cry. :D

    VS did prevail with a 6 month population handicap on Miller (still underpopulated btw). The recent influx of new recruits meant that every time the population was remotely even, the dominant faction (which is TR on Miller), is getting pushed hard by either NC or VS. Such is the price of months of complacency and having to put little effort into the wins.

    I'd suggest one radical approach. Make a character on whatever is the overpopulated faction in your server and just roll with them for a bit. I bet it's going to be a hilariously eye opener.

    Back when the Swagrider got hit with the nerf bat, VS populations on Mattherson totally cratered. Like, low 20s server-wide at primetime. This was before the Soltech merge I believe.
  7. Linedan

    Yeah but they're good at it. And if you've got an organized outfit like AT/GOTR/NNG/etc. working in amongst the cannon fodder, that's pretty effective.
  8. illgot

    you forgot to mention they usually have 40-50% on non alert times.
  9. Firmware

    I call bull-**** on this. All you guys ever do is talk **** to the poor squad trying to defend a point against a platoon+.



    Then the VS maybe need to get a date once in a while I'm guessing.

    I like playing as NC right now because I'm never worried about finding something to shoot in the face.

    When the VS population soars during an alert, I'm sure the higher BR VS players are doing great. But I feel for the newer/ low-ranked VS players - it can be hard to find enemies if you are new to the game, especially when you have 60 % of the continent. Have fun engi/medic farming in the bio labs!

    I realize that TE tells themselves that GOKU fields 3 platoons or some ****, but most of the time GOKU doesn't even fill one platoon.

    The whole 3 platoon thing is just what you were told to make yourself feel better when less than 1 platoon kept dunking 2 platoons of TE out of a lane.

    Goons have been spamming chat since before Planetside 2.
    Hell, Goons have been spamming chat since before Planetside 1.

    no one told me anything and who cares how many platoons they field, they still choose to follow or lead around a zerg.
    I think it best simply to utilize the ignore function at this point. I have never seen anything but blatantly biased VS posts, without any constructive merit.:)

    Stop having so much problem on your servers there in America.
  14. SgtScum

    There are good reasons to have a few zerg outfits or outfits that collect and guide the pubbie zergs in your arsenal as long as the leadership of them are in the overall command loop and know where to wield the power of the zerg as the more tactical outfits flank out and advance along other lines.

    China will keep the game going. Probably just paid for the next couple years of development in the first couple days since launch.

    Ten year business plan. I know this may be a strange concept. But most of the opinions presented in these forums are terribly myopic.
  16. Vanon

    It doesn't really matter. No one can consider an outfit good if it wins with 4:1 odds +. Saying that your more organized is also irrelevant. regardless of organization 2 full squads will beat 6 players, 1 platoon will beat 1 squad, 4 players will beat 1. What, you think ordering 6 guy's to hold A while 12 camp the spawn and the other 6 in vehicles, camping 6 guy's has any barring on a fight? You can win 2:1, you can slow them down at 3:1, at 4:1 it's just a glorified ghost cap. It's sad, because there are good VS outfits that are good. They just don't matter anymore because there are not enough fair fights to prove that they are good.

    NC on Mattherson doesn't lose because its underpopulated, it loses because it's awful.

    In a 3 continent alert they still lose on the continents where they aren't outnumbered and then blame it on population imbalance.
  18. Ice

    Is there seriously so much whining because an empire sits at the low 40% mark in global population? I would consider it to be acceptable, even for long periods of time. Pushing 50% regularly could be a cause for alarm though.
  19. rickampf

    Is this GOKU that guys that i saw getting kicked uncounted times by Buzzcutpsycho and his outfit on their stream?
  20. KodiakX

    Yes it is.

    That's always been the great joke of Mattherson. In game you watch them get kicked around and bent over repeatedly. There's countless stream footage and videos of them just being slaughtered. However then you come read the forums and it's all, "Woo VS wins every time against TE! Wooooo!" One can only presume they do this to try to troll responses by stating something so wildly obviously wrong that people can't help but correct them (IE: "WOW was the first MMO!")

    I'm sure VS is pretty excited now that TE is gone because it's basically the free farm mode that TE enjoyed since release. I wouldn't be surprised of the pants on head ******* left on TR these days are doing dumb stuff like driving tank columns into mass lancer fire (against infantry they won't even Render).

    Best move at this stage is wait for things to get super bad, TR population and NC population will bottom out further, and eventually they will have do a merge with Waterson and Mattherson. In the meanwhile you can do other games or work on another faction. Then a year later when this has happened they've added some end game objectives and goals and populations are decent again you come back and check it out.
