Congrats to the NC on emerald

[JakeLogan]

Congrats to the NC for the amazing offensive they made Friday night. For those of you who don't know NC launched a HUGE offensive against the TR and took over most of the contenints leading to the TR sanc. Even though I was on the other side I found it amazing that they pulled it off. Now its time for the TR to launch a Counter offensive. :D

[1024]

I was wondering, since about 50 percent of the server was NC, and about 29 percent was TR. :rolleyes:

I hate zerging, but it's part of the game.

[NoSurrender]

1024 i was there and it was zerging i was on the forseal crew we saw lil or no action :( but no outfits where divided out and met on different continents we were led by the CR5s so as one group attacked ceryshen another attacked forseal and just b4 we warped into forseal there was like a swarm of reavers tons of galaxys and a ton of skygaurds and the occasional vangaurd it was a amazing feat ill have to admit

[Seer]

Ahhh, I see. So emerald TR got discouraged and logged. That's why their population was so low.

[Revolver]

Actually, we might have accomplished it, except the VS seized the opportunity to become an annoyance and started capping bases on Ishundar for no apparent reason other than to piss us off:mad:

[Big Bro]

I seem to remember pushing VS all over Esamir during this time....don't know about the rest of the TR population, but I wasn't sitting on my fanny. ;)

[Cyber]

Bet Amerish was a blast tonight.

:)

[Diddy Mao]

Not much Slipped by us on Forseal some did and were casuin havok with the tower's we save a tower! they hack one across the map! it wa scat and mouse! but back at the warp it was straight balls to the wall fighting

[WritheNC]

I see new NC players on emerald every day.

Over the last couple days, its also been a little harder to find a big fight like the last few weeks.

I'm curious: is there a small migration from VS/TR to NC in light of the recent lack of changes/changes? If so, I think I'll have to play VS on another server because I like a fight; or they can nerf NC so everyone goes back or something...;)

[OneManArmy]

heh, I got plenty of pictures from the foreseral crew.. ;) I'd post em but you guys would pwn my bandwidth

[Arakiel]

We were getting a 5% XP bonus at one point today while fighting NC on Oshur - why yes, I'd say we were outnumbered just a tad.

[Cyber]

I'm not surprised.

Not only do you have 10% more ppl then everyone else.

But, almost all of you seem to have jackhammers which is just annoying as hell to fight against.

Alot of TR have basically sworn off fighting the NC for the most part and instead fight the VS where the population % are closer and the weapons are more balanced.

I haven't had any problems finding a big fight, but I'm not surprised to find the NC are.

[Confectrix]

This situation was most interesting; and as a matter of fact, the NC have not entirely been driven from Sanctuary linked continents.

Keep in mind, the Vanu took the oppourtunity to seize assests on NC Sanc. linked continents.

It was, to say the least, a glorious defense of Terran territory.

Good job NC. When they inplement Sancutary strikes, the Republic will be waiting.

[kelisis]

Man, I wish I was playing last night. For some odd reason, I was thinking of switching to NC. Now I know why. :)

[MJBuddy]

cyber, dont be sore and bitch about losing

it was fun, most likely we wont see another one from NC for a long time, more likely VS and TR will both try and pull one off...probably on the same day

it was an awsome fight, but TR basically gave up and left, so dont bitch about us outnumbering you because yall quit when we beat you

hell, your outright saying TR are afraid of NC in your post

"Alot of TR have basically sworn off fighting the NC for the most part and instead fight the VS where the population % are closer and the weapons are more balanced."

thats just one big excuse to why you lose

[Cyber]

Afraid, no. Just not having fun fighting the Jackhammer faction? Yes.

Your NC so you don't run into it, but fighting a horde of guys who all use the same weapon is dull. And it's frustrating when that weapon is overpowered to boot.

[Hamma]

Tis true.. its not nearly as fun to fight the NC as it is to fight the VS

[OneManArmy]

well everyone can agree that vanu bashing is good fun to be had by all no matter who you are. ;) :D

[Arakiel]

As a general rule, my outfit would much rather fight TR than NC right now, and our conbtinent selection reflects that. We hit Ceryshen, Amerish, and Forseral more often than not.

[ZionsFire]

OH god another jackhammer fest:rolleyes: THANK YOU CYBER! :mad:

There's weren't many on to begin with. I left soon before this whole thing supposedly started and the population count was already well skewed.

Congrats?

They got it due to a lattice bug

[Sentrosi]

When I logged off Saturday night at 6pm est, these were the population counts:

NC: 46%
VS: 35%
TR: 12%

Not a hell of a lot of fun fighting fayghamers all day long. I was involved on the battle on Ishundar. I logged on at around 4pm. At that time we had most of the northern bases except for Kusag and Lahr, which are usually held by the Vanu. I logged off and we had only one tower. Is it a victory when you can't even take a lone tower?

I feel sorry for those old TR ppl who left our empire and went over to the NC. It's a greater fight when everyone is balanced. Never a fun battle when you're outnumbered 4:1 already. Add to that the fact that 4 lightly armored NC with Fayghammers = about 2 squads worth of TR and you've got a bloodbath.

[Navaron]

I gotta say, TR has really had the wind taken out of it's sails since all this shit started. If they keep nerfing instead of bringing other shit up to par, this game is going to suck. Max's are all jokes now. The NC max always has been, but now I'll take a max on 1 on 1 any day of the week.

The TR need to get their shit together quick. There aren't any real leaders over there. Just some CR4 guys who say please way the hell too much, and make orders every 10 minutes. TR needs a kick in the ass.

AND WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT VANU WEAPON THAT KILLS ME IN REINFORCED IN 2 SHOTS FROM A MILE AWAY? It's not a bold driver cause it's fucking blue and purple.

AND WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT VANU WEAPON THAT KILLS ME IN REINFORCED IN 2 SHOTS FROM A MILE AWAY? It's not a bold driver cause it's fucking blue and purple. I think that TR is just as valid of an empire as any other empire. I would like to think that if someone nerfed the jackhammer we wouldn't have so many idiots that leave that we only have a fraction of the other empires. The only reason TR isn't doing well post MAX nerf is becuase they all jumped ship. In my opinion, the bold statement in the previous quote pretty much sums it up. Cowboy the fuck up and go back to TR, we don't want ya at NC! :D


EDIT:
Oh yeah, and go ahead and take the Jackhammer with ya, I just wanna stop the whining and get the population back to normal. I would gladly switch HW with any other empire to do this, I like em all.

[Navaron]

I should mention that I'm TR on Emerald. To all the deserter's that jumped after the nerf, go the fuck to the Vanu, the NC don't want you, and the TR are better off without you. God know's the VS need help.

God know's the VS need help. You want them to go to VS, just get you and your TR friends to post a bunch of threads in the OF about how overpowered the beamer is. I know it isn't, but it doesn't matter so long as they beleive it is. Those n00bs just go from "overpowered" thing to "overpowered" thing.

[MJBuddy]

i hate people who jump ship

i hated NC but i never jumped, its starting to pay off...we are gettin smarter as a whole, but so are VS

If you're implying that the TR maxes are jokes since the nerf, maybe you need to actually play against them sometime. I can't tell the difference, and 2 locked down pounder maxes is still pretty much impenetrable defense for a CC*.

* - Yes, I know that decimators kill MAXes easily. No, I'm quite sure that "having MAXes that are ridiculously overpowered even after a nerf" is not a part of the TR mythos. That's called a cop-out.

That weapon is the lancer. It's about the only decent VS weapon. We use it mostly because of that.

Oh, and as far as anti-vehicle goes - TR hasn't a leg to stand on as far as lancer ranting. Here's the big difference between the lancer and the striker: the lancer actually requires a degree of aim to down a MAX.

[Smaug]

I'm sick of everyone whining about the JH. Sure its a noob weapon, NOOB weapon, most of the good players dont use it, they'll use gauss cuz they want a challenge. So just stay maybe 10 feet away from a noobcannon user and blast his ass with your pimp ass cycler. I was there on that raid with my outfit NCSF. We were assigned to Ishundar and did an ok job. Unfortunately they stuck me with the support group, running ants. I guess nobody likes snipers these days. Anyways my SL wasn't that great. We got wg camped by 1 tr reaver and 1 vs mosq and he made us sit in the warp gate till a full squad of reaver support came to help us. The squad arrived 1 hour later and I hotdropped my full ant on some besieged, yet still NC hacked base at 10% ntu level. I drove that mother as fast as I could, a blazing 45 KPH and slammed the brakes infront of the silo. Deployed my ant to the response of "wtg man" /tells. Boring, but with respect, tis the job of the ant runner. Seriously I would be so glad to see the JH go. Devs if you're listening just nerf the whole damn thing and give us a water gun for heavy assault. Then make the lasher bullets fire 10x faster. Damn bandwagon noobs messed up my credibility and fun. I can't wait till all the x-trs go to vanu or back to tr. Just wait, NC wont whine, we know what its like to be hounded."DAMN NOOBCANNON." Just fuck off and stay out of its range!

[ZionsFire]

yes all u ppl that think the jackhammer is overpowered we will all just have waterguns oh and our knifes:mad:

While that is true, maxes are not the tools of death they should be. What I'm saying is that a max doesn't require anything special to take down anymore. Before you needed cooperation and teamwork or a big fucking gun. Now I look for maxes cause they are such sweet sweet xp.

A lot of that depends on the skill of the individual MAX. I play Quasar MAX almost exclusively since our outfit lacks dedicated MAXes, and I usually don't have infantry swarming and owning me.

One of the huge parts about playing a MAX is making sure that you only step into fights that you have a chance at. For example, I don't engage 2 striker/decimator troopers unless I'm forced to or behind them.
