Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - CaffeinePowered - 06-09-2009
Seeing how Monday went with larger scale phantasm drops that's what we are going to do for this coming Friday, shenanigans will include mass drops on BFRs, hunting crippled vehicles, towers of doom, laying mine fields in unexpected places, having AA maxes riding on the back of a cloaked phantasm, quick re-secures, and general fucking with the opposite factions.
Hopefully we can get someone on the other side to provide us with intel it should be a very fun night. If battle conditions prevent us from running this kind of format we'll fall back on ducklings as a backup plan.
If you plan on coming out please post a response (and what role you intend to fill)
Roles Necessary:
Phantasm Drivers (Up to 3) - SlaveOfAngry, (Myself - backup, I'd rather not drive if possible, as I have expert hack for GTA, re-secures and towers)
Anti-Vehicle/Rexo - At least 6
Thumper Whore w/Jammers - Atom (Maybe 1 other as well)
MAX Units (back-up) - We should have plenty (Probably 'alt' characters would work good if we need people to fill in roles)
Combat Engineers (3 - 4?) - If we do mine laying runs, several engineers can set up a large field working together very quickly
AMS Driver - Surf (might need a backup)
BFR Drivers - Beetee/Angry
My contest for a group of 20 is STILL on, so make sure you come out at 7pm CST sharp
- If I am not there and we hit 20 a screenshot will be required as proof
Day: FRIDAY
Time: 7pm cst (or earlier)
Ventrilo is mandatory
IP: il2.leetvent.com
Port: 3812
Pass: tightpants
If you make a character please post their in game name here
Fun in this game increases exponentially with the more people that join up so I hope to see more of the people that stated they were interested in the initial thread to come out, the game is FREE, but you are restricted to 14 days after which you will have to start all over again. If you get "suspended" or banned since the trial accounts are loopholes just make another one. Conversely you can spend $20 to pick up the game at direct2drive, which comes with a free month, this allows you to keep your character instead of having to re-level someone every 2 weeks.
TRIAL INSTALLER
(If this site is not working let me know, it was down for maintenance last Sunday)
Remember, the trials sometimes will RANDOMLY suspended you, just a heads up.
If you have issues running the game, make sure launchpad.exe and planetside.exe are both bring run in Win95 Compatibility mode

ACE dropping is going to be amazing! We should record it and set it to sabotage with screen caps of hate tells mixed in. If so I want a video of us all putting a boomer on a vehicle.

I'm planning on just setting it up so that I can drop MA and have enough certs to drive BFR, then I can drop AA1 and switch back whenever I want to. That's the main reason I want to go for it, Caff

(you were questioning my available number of cert points the other day).BTW, I've decided that if we seriously get up to 20 I'll match Caff's offer, so there will be two winners. My prize may optionally be traded for a sub to PS rather than a STEAM game.

I'll be cloaking and jacking vehicles/gunning. And if I get enough cert points between now and friday I can either snipe or combat engi.

I'd do CE, it's a lot more fun with cloaking. Also sniping really seems best for the caves. It's almost a must have there. Everywhere else it is way too situational to do much good.
Re: Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - Versus - 06-09-2009
I can drive an AMS, do CE, and do AV.

mainly because the sniper system sucks donkey balls, but I think laying mines in unexpected places would be much more fun. CE it is.
Re: Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - Ianki - 06-09-2009
I might go, depends on how much packing i can finish before then.
Re: Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - cbre88x - 06-10-2009
I did some CE last night and will do some today. It's actually alot more fun than I thought it would be. Laying down sentry guns in unexpected places gets a lot done.
Re: Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - Surf314 - 06-10-2009
Sniping isn't really broken, I thought it was too at first but it fits with the games low mortality rate. Basically the game tries to keep people and things hard to kill so you either have to use teamwork or find someone stupid. If the sniper rifle worked like it did in TF2 it would horribly unbalance the game. Already in situations where the sniper rifle is useful it is extremely useful if you know how to use it.

Sniper/Cloaker Combo team, you have a cloaker behind a group of enemy snipers, when one of your snipers lands a shot, they are ripe for the cloaker to pick off with minimal effort

I'll be there, I intend to grunt
Re: Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - Wedge - 06-10-2009
I actually think I'm going to something this Friday though =/
Re: Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - CaffeinePowered - 06-11-2009
Last night went really well, I think the phantasm drop unit does a really good job of supporting the BFR and helping keep it alive, either by acting as a distraction or outright killing the threat.
Not sure which was more valuable though 2 BFRs or 1 BFR and 1 other vehicle
Re: Planetside Fridays - 6/12 - Its a Secret to Everyone - CaffeinePowered - 06-12-2009
Bump, because having reaver support was working really good last night, also, make sure to be there tonight faggots, 7pm CST, so I can yell loudly over vent at you

I'll try to make an appearance but PS keeps locking up on launchpad since I rebuilt my PC (still XP). ???

He was seriously an interesting guy.

So Kal, are you going to take the shame of being an NC?
