TR is the worst faction. Losing the War

Connery TR ain't had any leadership since that one ultra Tryhard commander RageQuit the game over the ZOS patch.

This isn't news, pally

How else they going to keep churning out money other then convincing people to faction hop from time to time?

TR on Miller are hardcore, though it's amusing how people say VS are so overpowered yet all I hear about is the VS steamrolling through servers.

Meanwhile NC are in a happy place, we're between hopelessly lost and forever glued.

But TR as a faction seems really appealing, I think they just got the crap end of the stick with lockdown (scrap dat) as an ability for their MBTs and MAXes, but holy hell they have a CHAINGUN.

Lockdown is amazing, there's little reason to pick another ability for the Prowler. You just have to avoid using it in situations where you're likely to get caught pants down. I'd pick Lockdown over Mag boost any day. The Vanguard shield is nice of course, but imagine a Vanguard with lockdown...

Lockdown for TR MAXes though is a bit lackluster, it's really only useful for base defense AA and killing sunderers and base turrets with dual pounders.

Where TR really got screwed is the ESRL which is just a downgraded Annihilator.

You're one of the first players I've seen call lockdown amazing. It's situational sure, but look at the shield or the Mag Boost, they're a lot less situational & that goes the same for TR MAXes. NC get the Aegis Shield, VS get ZOE & TR get... shafted?

I just think there's more cruxes to being a TR member, plus there's not much reason for players to try other factions knowing they have to start from zero again. If you were given a certain amount of certs for already having a character levelled to, lets say level 50, maybe you should get a cert bonus for an alt of a different faction...

Players dont want to play as an underpopped faction but they don't see that playing as them won't make them overpopped

Talk about lying and obfuscation. This screenshot happened during the Amerish alert where the whole TR abandoned Hossin (of course you would lose all your territories as a result). NC is all that is left to defend Hossin from the VS cap. There was nothing we could do. Right after this screenshot was taken, we were warpgated.

We were outnumbered at all bases, so VS capped the continent with them having 42% global population to boot. Now, rewind this picture a couple hours later and NC is the faction that's almost warpgated.

Those battles you see on the screen, we have about 48+ defending those and still outnumbered by the VS.

As a Connery TR, I will stand up and say this is patently false.
