Empire choice on Emerald

[keam02]

So I'm coming back...again. I need to know which empire on Emerald would be the best to join. I always played NC before, but I want to try something new. I know one of the factions I choose on Emerald (you can still have 2, right?) will probably be NC. So out of Vanu and TR, which of the two is most populated/powerful/fun. I like being a cloaker, btw, and hardly ever a pilot of anything.

VS is always more fun then TR. Less whining about weapons ;) Of course, if your main is an NC, you never get to whine about weapons.

If you want a challenge play TR ;)

VS = easy mode, just ditch all your initial certs and get Medium and Heavy Assault, and then go spam the crap out of everyone with a Lasher. Don't worry about friendly fire because it doesn't injure friendlies like every other weapon.

TR = game on "Hard" mode.

Terram Republic is da bomb!!!

[keam02]

You know, I was honestly thinking TR. I've never actually played TR, believe it or not. I started in beta, played through retail for about a year, quit, came back, played for another 6 months, but I still havent stepped into the game as TR except to play as the AV Max when it was horribly overpowered in beta. "Hard" mode sounds good to me. Hopefully I can find an outfit or make a few friends so we can actually use strats.

Black Widow Company (http://www.theblackwidowcompany.net), nuff said. We use variants of "real-life" SWAT, infantry, and small-unit (aka spec-ops) tactics in Planetside.

In my grand experience in this matter (LOL, yea right... 4 days of playing) I've managed to get 3 toons up to BR 5.. One from each Empire (on Emerald). Even joined an outfit in the NC Empire.

But to be honest, TR is by far the most interesting. Go Cert yourself in either Heavy weapons or go Uni-Max (Certified in all 3)... Two words, Rockn' Roll!

I personally use the Max armors... I just wish people would stop running into my line of fire (800 Grief points in 4 hours...Sheesh, LOL) and let the bullets do their job.

Go TL... It's the only way ;)

VS! If you play TR you get the easiest MA in the game. If you play TR make sure its not on emerald. And besides, if you play VS you get to shoot hamma up all you want! Actually most of the PSU staff.

Though better yet you could quit the game. You'd never notice!

[Hamma]

Quit the game he's barely started :lol:

I quite enjoy it when I see killspam that hamma has dropped onto yet another tower I CEed :groovy:

[blade_runner]

I like the idea of VS.(technophile) the most so thats what I play.

[BUGGER]

I perfer TR on Emerald although i never play, half because I didn't get to claim my name in the beginning (I have BUGGER (-k or -J from alt servers) on every server for every empire except on Emerald....and that Bugger doesn't even play :mad:)

VS is ok if you advance mainly in heavier weapons and vehicles (Lasher, Magrider). Crap Medium weapons, decent HA, and back down to relativly dull MAX AI weapons. Only good about the Lasher is that you can run back and forth and still get some splash damage. Choose what you like, get on with life.
AA=1
AI=2
AV=3

TR basically upgrades its stuff. Cycler to Minichaingun, Minichaingun to MAX Dual Cyclers. TR is basically sit down and AIM. You are going to get no shots in if you run around with a Cycler or MAXDC, sit your ass down and hit him. TR AV sucks balls, Maurder can be a beast if used correctly (never is), and the Prowler is teamwork.. AA is ok in my opinion. Key is aim.
AI=1
AA=2
AV=3

Basically choose what you are better at. If you can hit a moving target, go TR for a challenge. If you like to know you are atleast brushing up against him go VS.

[keam02]

Is it still only two empires per server? If you have two you might as well do three.

[Jimmik24]

Still...Go TR all the way woot

I'm looking into joining the VS when I start playing. I only started looking at PlanetSide because my friend told me that this would hold me over while I'm waiting for the release of an MMO Halo game. The weapons from the other two armies seem to similar too those from Halo for me, so I'm probably going to the VS to provide a change of pace......

[Geist]

TR is the greatest empire. It's weak first look is just a disguise until it ANIHILATES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:blowup: :blowup: :blowup:

[PizzasRgooD]

VS are ugly, inconsistent, and also not very good looking. TR has a nerdy helmet too but that's about it. NC are cool all the way.

[Geist]

It's not nerdy,at least not the rexo one.

[EVILPIG]

If you want a challenge play TR ;)


TR is no challenge. No empire is a challenge. I do recommend Tr though, the MCG is very fun and so is the Striker. Excellent weapons.
