PSU Top 100 leaderboard - has 50% VS

You're across multiple servers? odd no? A clan that doesn't play together? Sounds a bit dysfunctional.
Also, I lol'd at your 'hardcore open pvp guild founded in WoW'. Well. Played. The UO/SB/DF community wonders why you don't play any real open pvp games

Success in PS2 or an open PvP game is determined by how well your group/squad/faction does and not by individual playtime. K/D in PS2 is extremely inflated due to vehicles and most of the parameters that the API tracks don't really give a good indication of player skill as they are most affected by playtime.

That said, I'm sure you are a solid player but some of those top 5 that you list are not all that amazing from their streams. I'm not saying I'm better, but to assert that they are the best due to their ranking is quite a leap in logic.

Autism certainly has it's advantages. I sure wish I could focus my attention on only getting kills for dozens of hours straight per day.

A lot of my "play" time is spent looking at my gear, chatting to people I know for an hour without leaving the warpgate... ect.

I don't care, I still roll vs with my Jaguar Engineer... Nothing is better than riding a flash behind enemy Magriders and mining them up with my extra mines and laughing as they blow up. Rinse and repeat for epic lol's.

Also, if you are trying to hint at VS being OP I disagree, they have the best tank and arguably the best ESF to some people but it doesn't bother me that much, I see it as a challenge and I am happy a lot of VS roll mass Magriders because it brings a different fight to the table instead of fighting only infantry like NC who are very similar to the TR except for the fact that a majority of NC are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Jaguar Engineer.. I am laughing hysterically.

There isnt any tech test or beta people surprised by this.
The vs whined how op nc weapons were and how horrible the vs weapons were ( neither were true) and the devs caved and changed everything.
This is what happens when development listens to pr campaigns from people, you get faction imbalance at a large scale whether its vehicles or weapons.
Nc weapons were never, ever better than tr or vs but took nerfs for no reason. In a low ttk game accurate weapons rule and now we have the result, gg vanu pr campaign from beta you sure made the game balanced.
Devs stop listening to obvious bias please.

Given that he was unbanned, perhaps he was right?

I don't think anyone who complains about Hackusations or bad people reporting good players is right.
Complain about customer service being bad and GMs not properly investigating your account sure, unfair banning okay.

But if you say bad players should shut up and people shouldn't be allowed to accuse someone of hacking is just silly. (except if banning was based on the numbers of complaints and reports, but that is never the case.)

The leaderboard? Is that really what Planetside has come down to?

See... you didn't exactly make it clear that he was arguing against people being allowed to report people.

I assumed you meant that he was complaining that he got banned for hackusations despite not hacking (and therefore it being 100% impossible for there to be any evidence saying he did).

I'm going to clue you guys into something.

The PSU leader boards only count those users that have been searched for, not all users. And PSU is mainly a Vanu outfit.

Do the math.

Actually he's a blatant stat padder. http://www.planetside-universe.com/character.php?stats=kakamakaka&tab=Charts
97.5% of kills are VS, all of them seem to be Engineer. Report.

hi all,

I am the best Vanu in all of ps2. I don't have a job I don't go to school and im currently leeching off my parents. I am number 1 in video games because I spend all my time on the computer (except when I have to pee or pop)

Ps I am number 1 the best...

LOL

People live in Australia, so they play on the servers located there. People live in America, so they play on American servers...I don't see what you are getting at...

On Connery the VS are usually vastly outnumbered. This could also be the cause.

VS simply have more to shoot at.

Battle Rank doesn't mean skill at all it just means time played and XP earned

In any case, the top leader boards are likely mostly VS probably because lets be honest here - with TR having Enclave and NC having Goon, most of the best players are more inclined to join VS simply because it doen't tend to attract players who are nothing more than zerglings instead of being co-ordinated. Not to mention the type of factions that NC and TR are tend to attract the younger, "less skilled" and "worse-at-organizing" crowd. I constantly hear on another community I am apart of how much they hate playing with the NC because most people who play that faction are literally braindead, or how they hate playing TR because the only thing anyone ever does on that faction is zerg wherever the enclave decides to zerg, etc.

Vanu has been consistently the faction that tends to have the most cross-faction organization since early beta which attracts the more hardcore players, plus the very style of the faction isn't as "cool" as NC/TR so most of the child masses don't swarm to it.

I very rarely see vanu have the higher global pop compared to the other two factions on matherson, yet we always tend to hold our own and break up the offense. Sure we have zergs too, but its not only that. My outfit for example (about 24 guys total in this op) was able to hold a point right infront of the TR warpgate on indar for over 45 minutes despite them sending everything they had (that weren't at the crown...) there. And this was a simple outpost. The fact that the #1 strategy for the TR was to simply run tanks and infantry straight through open ground onto the outpost was a large factor in why they couldn't keep it. It wasn't until they literally sent 4-5 sundys and double the amount of tanks that they actually managed to break ground.

This tells me an absolutely pathetic level of teamwork and strategic thinking going on - the only way 24 guys became beat was by simply overwhelming them with a zerg that was 3x-4x our size, and only then were they able to capture this dinky little outpost right on their warpgate.

And this is why the top 50 are in vanu. If you spend the most time in this game or are any good, why would you bother associating yourself with a faction that is only effective when zerging as many people as possible?

Yes? And?

You're taking a TINY sample size of the player base and crying about it. Pretty pathetic.

purely depends on which faction those individual persons chose... if that specific top 10 person choose a other faction he would VERY most likely still end up in the top 10

conclusion this thread is stupid and useless

do agree though that the vanu have the easiest "hold mouse button down and win" guns

pretty much COD guns

TL;DR VS are all gaming prodigies and gods amongst men, whilst NC and TR are young children who will do nothing but run from a spawn into the VS grinder.

Pretty unbiased there, m8.

hes representing the general lack of intelligence of the PS2 community, like the sniper going "OH MAN YOU DONT HAVE A 20% HEADSHOT RATE, YOU N00B!" Morons.

If the top goes by skill or stats... maybe it's simply because alot of big VS organised exist and have account on PSU...
