View Full Version : A day in planetside

I start of the day in a reaver
A mossie comes up behind me and shoots me down within
two seconds?
Someone tell me when did the devs decide to buff a scout vehicle?
Cmon sabinius, its nothing keep your cool
I tell myself
So I head back, everythings clear were frontin' stuff on hossin
Then randomly, our towers blue
Then out of nowhere, every fucking NC in the world
is in that one tower
So we have about 12 reavers, a bfr, and a tank there at the tower.
ENEMY BFR! oh noes, everything friendly on the radar
IS GONE
Oh its nothing, just forget about it.
I'm in the base, the base still has no warning
everythings fine
The battles out in the field not in the base
Then randomly while I'm heading up the stairs, I learned that three guys
with jackhammers were heading through our base through the backdoor, killing everyone in front of them within seconds
THREE GUYS take out EVERYONE in our base
INCLUDING OUR GENERATOR AND SPAWN TUBES
All the fault of Jackhammers.
This is fucking amazing
I'm walking up the stairs, then within seconds, generators down, base is hacked, everyones dead.
I love my cool and post this
Why did the devs decide to give the NC the god max (AI MAX)
The jackhammer
The dual pwner jackhammers on bfrs,
and the thunderer that replaces their main tank
which is already overpowered
I know everyone is already well aware of the way way WAY
overpowered unbalancedness of the NC but has anyone
attempted to ask the devs and get an answer?
Whenever you look at an article by them, or an update in the update log
the constantly say how they want the game to be fair and great and balanced ect ect ect
There IGNORING fact of all the totally unbalancedness
Its very obvious they are doing so
Now one question remains
The one question I ALWAYS ask in this game
no other question exceeds the full proof answers this one
would give
if the devs just fucking answered it
WTF?

well i'm sorry, but if you ask almost anyone here about the ballance they will complain about is the fact BFR's rule the above ground continents and thats about it.
one BFR has no chance in that situation unless, like you, the rest of the TR at that tower are retards too. Take your PMS induced rant somewere else

ScatMAXes are only as good as they guys using them. I remember 3 scatMAXes were at the top of the first set of steps in a tower we were taking, all the nubs kept charging them. We had downstairs secure, so they move to the top of the next flight of steps. People still rushing them and dying. I go downstairs, hack the ET, and get 5 decis. After a lot of strafing, and some luck (ill admit it, luck mustve been involved) I had a kill count of +3MAXes, and we had the tower.
Thunderers. Right. They wtfpwn infantry. It's a vehicle, it's bound to. So does the aroura (sp?) and the TR variant (name eludes me) - if the gunners concentrate their fire. Take them on from the skies. Seriously, thunderers get pwns by any aircraft (bar the lode ;)), whereas the TR truck can easily down a mozzie/ reaver, and the Aroura could take one down with some skill.
Jackhammer. It's designed for upclose. Counter? Get a decent defence as your BD corridor ;) Or just wait round a corner with a boomer. Seriously, JHs are nothing on what they used to be.
So we have about 12 reavers, a bfr, and a tank there at the tower.
ENEMY BFR! oh noes, everything friendly on the radar
IS GONE
This makes me giggle. You must have the most shitty team-mates, ever. That is all.
As for the NC zerg. "Shit happens." Live with it. If it was on their path to their next target, it's bound to get flooded, isn't it?
And as for the Reaver/ Mossie incident. What were you doing to let him hit you for a full 2 seconds? Sleeping? Dude, this is war, you can't go to take a shit and expect everything to be dandy if you're on a battlefield.

I was just about to post an appology, i took it to far.
But, i'm tired with all these "OMG the devs ruined the game, it be terrible, i'm canceling my account becasue i'm not WTF pwning eveything in sight" people that post one time when that one thing is a giant thing of unbased flame bait, on a forum that is devoted to the game. Its unconstructive drivel and deserves to be treated as such.

I got to admit that at the beginning we (NC) were possibly the strongest empire, but if you have played the NC then you would know that a while back the Devs sorta nerfed us, but Im ok with that because that means you just got to get better, and not rely just on youre uber powerful MBT. I've also seen several good NC players switch over to the TR and VS because they have been playin since the beta and want to try something new..
So in my opinion there are alot of newbs, some soldiers, and a few good men still left with the NC
Now why don't you stop complaining about it and start learning how to counter it?!?!?

That was a pure hunk-o-whiny goodness. Seriously.
1) The mosquito thing... you probably didnt know it, but you got hit by something else at the same time/you are exaggerating, which you are. Nothing can take down a reaver in 2 seconds alone.
So I head back, everythings clear were frontin' stuff on hossin
Then randomly, our towers blue
Then out of nowhere, every fucking NC in the world
is in that one tower
... its called a zerg spawn point. People die, they go there where all of the action is. You cant deal with it, go play Counter Strike. (no beefs to CS players.. I play CS too!)
So we have about 12 reavers, a bfr, and a tank there at the tower.
ENEMY BFR! oh noes, everything friendly on the radar
IS GONE
Let me guess... your playing VS on Markov? oh wait... TR emerald. Maybe it is because they all died because of the numbers? TR emerald hasnt exactly been the greatest bit of fun lately now has it?
THREE GUYS take out EVERYONE in our base
INCLUDING OUR GENERATOR AND SPAWN TUBES
how do you know it was 3 guys? werent you just complaining about a whole zerg coming? its called special ops. You ever played the enclave? or seen them in action? we used to hit so hard and fast you didnt even know what happened. maybe sturmgrenadier? (sp?)
Why did the devs decide to give the NC the god max (AI MAX)
The jackhammer
The dual pwner jackhammers on bfrs,
and the thunderer that replaces their main tank
which is already overpowered
whine whine whine whine.. your a boring person you know that?
If you think they are so overpowered, go play with them, or leave the game. Its the typical response you will get whenever you say that. remember that saying... "you cant beat em, join em." ? i live by that motto
I know everyone is already well aware of the way way WAY
overpowered unbalancedness of the NC but has anyone
attempted to ask the devs and get an answer?

*to the meow mix theme*
Whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine....
of course... they nerfed our Jackhammer once, and twice, ninja nerfed our Vanguard, nerfed alot of things. Please stop whining.
DONT try to make a point with BFRs.. they dont count. Whine about bfrs? whine about the VS ones.. uber ninja sniping instagib lazer for the win.. anyway. BFRS just came out. Give them time before you can complain about them.

I have characters for all 3 empires (although, admitedly, NC is my main char.) Pretty much everything in the game is somewhat balanced, excluding BFRs, which just came out. When I'm playing NC, the MCG owns everything outside. When I'm playing TR, the Lasher owns all in thin corridors in bases. When I play VS, the JH seems overpowered in towers.
In other words, it is 1) Point of view, and 2) Everything has a specific role it fills. You can't expect your cycler to beat a JH at point blank, you have to work around it and attack from range.
Realize that I'm only using HA weapons as an example, the whole game works like this. As either Sam or Spork put it (can't remember which,) PS uses a Rock Paper Scissors approach to combat, you just have to figure out what weapon/cert/vehicle fits in what category, and then use that to your advantage.

If you are whineing about that come join Vanu Markov, You will have great fun being shoot and kill by the NC zerg there.

That first post was a very very crap, whinning post, which I am tired of seeying in the Official Forums and I would like for you to never post again, its very annoying and your just whinning from your POV.
Jackhammer is very good in CC combat, thats what it is, a frikkin shotgun, thats what they do, Lasher is good at suppressing and same for MCG.
We have dual Hammer on the BFR. you have the chain gun thing, tears through infantry just as well.
Mossie has always been able to down enemy air nicely, thats part of its job, mossie VS reaver usually comes out mossie win if pilots are same level, its not buffed.
and finnaloy, no mroe whinning posts, they are shite.
PS: Don't whine about the recent TR lower populatiuon, VS and NC go through the same too ok, so don't start that.
PSS: Thunderer is balanced, it pwns infantry cause tis a good vehicle and Vanguard is not over powered, obviously from your post your TR team can't play very well.
AND:
I was just about to post an appology, i took it to far.

Don't apologise, I for one would like to see rant posts deleted on the spot here at PSU, this is not the place to rant, want to rant about the game do it in the official forums like everyone else.

How did this thread get to the 2 page when it only needed 1 person to take 4 or 5 mins and explain that things like that just happen in planetdie, not all the STFUs.

thats not how MMOs work. We invest our money in them, our lives. Our jobs, our girlfiends, the parties we miss on occasion, and such. But this is plain whining.
Stop the personal attacks.
