I have never seen an ELEB tag in game... unless they lurk on Indar, because I'm bored of going there.
NC on this server is destroying the server imo. Never participating in anything. I really feel sry for the few guys on NC side that try to do something. Individually they have skills, but without organization and participation on the metagame (and yes, you can debate on it or not, but alerts are a part of this) it doesn´t do well in the long run. VS on Woodman are playing to win. They come in and want to get a base. Crush it. Yeah, there are rarely long lasting fights with Vanu. But what is so fun with stalemate fights i see often between TR and NC? Is it the XP? VS is taking a Techplant during a Techplant alert on Indar. NC prefers to fight against TR on an Amp station. Ok... (I am speaking of the majority, not of all ) TR are doing better and better these days (these guys are putting really effort into it). It is fun to fight against them, but there needs to be the 3rd faction that balances everything. On Woodman there is no 3rd faction (in the grand scheme). Destroyed by outfit leaders who don´t want to participate in alerts because it is not PS1-style. Just feel really bad about the situation.
Yeah. Brainless zerg with indar obsession is our trademark + dumb opportunists (look alerts) and voila. Woodman NC
It's a great outfit to be in on my TR - very, very visible also on my VS. Great BR100 players like ALongStory, stoneshank etc.
Cheers for the props buddy. I'm one of the co-leaders of REBR and we are really trying to do what we can for the faction. The other outfits you mentioned are doing the same. The majority of the NC people are holding in high regard are involved in NCHQ and we are trying to come to a solution to the problems mentioned in this thread. Sit tight.
yesterday night NC won a tech plant domination alert with overwhelming domination, being second in terms of population (TR first, VS last) i remember in the side chat some NC going like "is this really happening?" we got our ***** handed to us. it is clear that NC are not weaker than the other 2 factions on Woodman.
KOTV is highly organised, capable of fielding mutliple platoons and very objective focused - particularly in alerts. Squads/platoons follow orders and generally go where they are told. Just because KOTV have numbers does not make them a rabble or low skilled. Indeed, as far as I can tell, KOTV have a very large proportion of high experience players - often people who played in Beta.
It's all tactics buddy! We're so collectively unorganised that most of the time everyone rolls over us, but on the few nights when we DO get organised (like last night) you are all so shocked that we dominate! Or something like that... I think it's more because the NC is made up of more smaller outfits as opposed to the large VS ones, and we don't always co-ordinate on an inter-outfit level. Though clearly, judging from last night, if we got our stuff together more often we'd be quite the fighting force! Here's some screenshots: Galaxy Time! REBR Represent!
i realized it long ago. i encountered a lot of skilled NC, hard hitting and sharp shooting. if your outfits merge or start coordinating more... oh, boy the only infiltrator that ever impressed me was an NC female toon (i remembered the camo and the ifrit mask). i was on a tech plant tower, she was sniping from a hill, i shot her but did not kill. she cloaked, ran all the way to where i was and shot me and a guy next to me with commissioner, finished with knife. then disappeared, nobody around even noticed or realised what just happened, they were busy lol
Lol yea I was online yesterday, saw the air force in the warpgate and spawned a Reaver to participate. Of course my performance tanks between hexes and somehow I collided with poor Dutchman during a 8 second lag spike while he's trying to give out orders in squad chat. Sorry, dude! ALongStory is ELEB - but I think that's the only ELEB player I recognize.
yeah nc CAN win on woodman if GODS, FFS, SINK, SOHO and a few other outfits are strongly working together but there is one problem. i was in for the whole alerts yesterday and played with SOHO who had the job to hold esamirs tech. the beginning was nice and fun. but the last hour wasnt fun anymore. the other outfits went to amersih and indar to get the other techs and the SOHO platoon did everything to hold the vanu mass from the tech plant. in the last half an hour it was 40 % vanu and 20 % nc again on esamir. these nc guys tried to hold three bases against that vanus mass. and that wasnt fun anymore. that wasnt a fight anymore. they ran as a whole platoon to a , b , or c just to get more seconds. from that 40 ppeople everytime only 2 or 3 survivded. we go nearly no certs. in the end we won thats right, but only because these outfits shredded their members against that vanu flood. and thats the reason why nc isnst doing that so often i think. nc can win if they want, even if they are unpopulated. but this is WORK and no fun anymore
When the NC start believing they can win alerts more will participate, they can win alerts when they get there players in the right places. Vanu win because they know they have lots of players that want to take part and make the difference. If the other factions don't make ago of it they just roll over everyone. But of late lots more TR are listening to orders and trying to help where they are needed, the days of vanu domination are in steady decline. We will always take it to the enemy at 2CA and enjoy working with the other TR outfits to crush our enemies..............
There has been a real issue that has been bugging me on Woodman/Indar for nearly 3-4 weeks now. Basically, there seems to be an obsession by TR and VS about controlling NCs Bio Lab. It seems to be top priority. Every time I log in, every time... I look at my map, and see Allatum being fought over or controlled by all 3 factions. It is like the new crown. But what this means, is that NC struggle to get any resources, leaving us with a serious disadvantage most of the time. I can't count the amount of hours I have spent at Allatum trying to fend off the attacking forces. I've barely left the ****ing place. It is depressing and zero fun. I know that I am not alone on this. TR barely seem to bother with VS as a whole, you can tell by the fact that VS can have a small population, but their land mass over on TRs side is barely touched. All TR are heading West, and the VS are heading south west. I for one cannot wait to have a warp gate rotation, and I feel so embittered about the whole bio lab thing, that I feel like I want to do the same thing to VS when they move back into that crappy corner. This isn't a healthy state of mind to have regarding the game. Something needs to change, because NC are (imho) reaching the point of throwing the towel in. VS can go on and on about how well organised they are, but if they were stuck with zero resources, and had 2 factions attacking them, they wouldn't fair well either. It is an NCs dream to have enough resources to pull lots of Maxs like the VS. While it remains as it is, we are lucky to have a grenade to throw at you. I'm not one for complaining, and I take things for how they are... so for me to say the above must mean something. Take it how you will.
SOHO did a cracking job and they knew they were part of the entire picture. The other outfit leaders constantly supported their efforts and they didn't lose faith in what they were doing. Believe me when I say there was just as much "member shredding" on the other continents, all in effort to achieve our goal: winning the alert, which we did. Not once did I hear SOHO complain about what they were doing for the cause. Side note: I can't wait for your wish for server transfer tokens to come true. Even when we win you complain about the NC. When that time comes, I say good riddance. It can't be far from the truth that you're somewhat to blame for a lack of determination in the Woodman NC, specifically for those players that keep up with the forum. Good day sir.
That is because litterally all decent outfits worked together, attacking multiple objectives so we won by organisation, not lolzerg population, but this happens usually once in a week. NC dominates when outfits have good attendance and work together but your regular day NC is utter chaos, orchestra of stupidity and the very epitome of derp. Kind of constrasting and I'd say that from enemy perspective this must seem like the NC turns on their screens and sound once in a blue moon
Its Alll so because there are no any normal outfits NC on Woodman, better go to Ceres or Miller. Many ppl are play on Woodman with VS - only because they have really good public outfit KOTV.
Alongstory is good in vehicle combat. But average when it comes to infantry I have found when up against him.
The Problem is that we have great outfits, but very stupid random players. You can try...set waypoints, write the orders in the chat (platoon AND squad) and also ingame voice orders. If you are lucky, 50% of the random players will listen... so we have no interests in running open platoons anymore...it is just nerve wrecking And btw, i am the soho leader, and yes, we did get shredded to pieces...but we held the frontline against 80% vanus, we held one freaking Building with the capture point....it was like a wild west showdown, but in the end, no vanu entered this damn building and we were victorious. Dont let posts like this drag you down. NC still has potential But i have to admit it is hard to organize stupid randoms...if soe would give the platoonleaders more power, like setting the default spawnpoint, or even locking every other spawn location...maybe some fight at the waypoints and get bonus exp, that would be great Leading random NC platoons is like trying to win with a group of ******** monkeys
