To quote Ertai: Fuck new Oshur.

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

I didn't wanna go but it's where everyone else went

[Goffin]

I logged in tonight to see the global pop at NC 34%  TR 38%  VS 16%


That mapp you posted is pretty much blue with a hint of red.  NC took all Benifits conts,  oshur,  ish,  cyssor, searhus while the tr were blowing each other for the most part.

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

Lol, well the VS can't hold jack if an even number of pops come up on a cont, we know that

[Versus]

got ~50k CEP saturday night 8)

[Goffin]

I need to show you guys some gal bombing if we can ever find a red alert that's not inside a base yet.


I'm trying to find some good screen shots.

You know, I think I finally figured out why VS gets pwned so hard.  It's not even the guns.  It's the fact that their best things are vehicles.  To be effective, you need several vehicles, and this freq means magrider.  May as well pull teeth if you think you'll get any kinda of reasonable functionality out of teamwork that isn't just standing next to another player and shooting the same thing.  And I'd say a lot of players only begrudgingly stand near someone else.  Because they might get caught in the explosions (because their k:d ratio is precious) and the other player might kill steal them.  The TR and NC can just zerg with heavy assault.  Furthermore vehicles mean you can't have instant gratification and have to go all the way back to the nearest base.

Were you getting as frustrated on Ish like I was yesterday?

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

Yes.  It was Zerg.  Also, way to TK me ;P

[Goffin]

Sounds like soloside to me.

Hmmmm, wonder how annoying this would be: Everyone gets a wraith, a med device, REK, and as much Lancer and ammo as you can carry.  Everyone goes to broadcast warpgate and goes to a planet without a fight.  Each goes to a different base, blows the gens, and captures the surrounding towers.  How much annoyance would that cause and how long would it take to unfuck everything?

We could just do this with two phantasms

[/quote]Esp since wraiths don't cloak if you're not in infil armor, so the lancer ammo is useless :/

Strong probability I will not be around tonight...

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

Well I meant the wraiths are the fastest thing on land and allow you to carry any armor.  You could do it with boats I suppose but you'd have to make pickups.  More effective with 3 hackers to hack each base at broadcast.  therefore the enemy loses a lot of spawns very fast and gets hacked.  At the least it'd mess things up

Ill be out this weekend...and next weekend
