my opinion of the "never ending war"

[culkid]

i think that there should be an end to the war.. and once it ends, the match restarts from the beginning with your character at whatever level he was at when the game ended. it would sort of get booring if a team never won, because you would be fighting for a lost cause

[Hamma]

They talked about having servers with that ruleset.

Personally IMO that ruins the whole persistance of it all :p

[culkid]

WTF does IMO mean?

[Hamma]

in my opinon

[BUGGER]

Dont know, but it would be fun to play a never ending war. Constantly hackin into the enemy base, pushin then into the middle of nowhere, wouldn't you just love to rule the server you are playing? When someone joins the server you cant just blow the hell outa them. Man that would be kool.

[culkid]

dude the dumb thing is, when one team is almost dominated, the online team give them power ups like triple hit rate.. i think they should just let the war end

[BUGGER]

Oh well........still if it was me on the strong side it would be fun........if i was on the weak..........still it would be fun for i bet most will not see me hacking;)

IMO I think that the war will eventually end 2 sides are gonna have a cease fire and kick the stuffing out of the other team then it will be a 2on2. It might make the have 4 characters but only in one empire thing bad cuz if ur on the team that got beaten you would have to wait till one of the other two won and the game restarts.

I think they should revise the 4 character on only one empire thing it could get annoying. As for my outfit, i think that the campaign that we will start will have the responsibility for LOCKING DOWN a few continets. The Mother Republic Rules All! The War will end... Belive Me!!!

Dark- The War Is Over, We Won, Now Go Home And Prepare For The Second Coming Of Whoop the Traitors @$$

:nazi: :trrocks: :ncsucks: :vssucks:

Oh... I have A Ninja Mode... JUST LOOK => :furious:

[Airlift]

My opinion is that if one side becomes sufficiently uber so as to lock down every continent at the same time, they have won the war and the rest of the game is just a police action. ;)

Is it possible? Theoretically yes.
Is it going to happen? Snowball, this is Hell.

Here's an interesting question: Say for the sake of discussion the Terrans own everything on the timbuktu server. Full lock on ten continents, and a solid enough response system to maintain it. Would it be more fun to you to be on the guerilla side or the occupation force?

Guerilla warfare all the way!

Only problem is you can't get vehicles to a locked continent, and that is bad if all ten are locked, although like you said, snowball, meet hell.

[BUGGER]

Alittle somethin I call Operation Hell Hole.;)

[culkid]

alittle something i call operation preparation H

[�io]

Well the key is to keep adding new stuff. Persistent or not PS will be like any other game, after a while you get bored no matter what, you need new content. :)

the thing is the dev. team is probably gonna sooner or later make the sanctuarys capturable. Plus you could always air lift the vechicles over, cant you? I would enjoy Gurella warfare though but if i earned the right to be on the winning team why would i switch...

This Was DARK a.k.a DARKDRAGON... See Me As God

[BUGGER]

The galaxy can take 1 vehicle.

[DarkDragon00]

So it would take a Shiz load of galaxys. You have to agree seeing a bunch of galaxys knowing they are fully loaded would make u shiz ur pants. weather it has one vehicle each or squads full. Still A scary thing.


:trrocks: :sniper: :ncrocks: :vsrocks: .......... :blowup:

I got a NINJA MODE just look => :furious:

[Airlift]

How will you get your galaxies in?

[BUGGER]

Heh, ya, well just taka look at this (http://planetside.station.sony.com/screenshots/New-Conglomerate-Army.jpg) . just that makes me cry.

[DarkDragon00]

I was thinking cant you fly them over the ocean? I thought that was possible going continent to continent in air vehicles

They are only available in the sancuary and those cant get captured... FOR NOW

Don't forget everybody will defect to the winning team, unbalancing the game

want some? :spam:

:sniper: :spam: Stupid Spam

Anyway
I wouldn't want to end the war. It's pointless.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

From what I understand you can't fly from continent to continent over an ocean. You basically run out of gas partway through your flight. You stop receiving the neccesary energy to keep you in flight and you plunge to a watery doom. :D

[TEAR] Terran Elite Airborne Regiment


ummmm you can NOT fly over the ocean. All vechs are powered by the gates, and if you go too far over the ocean, you fall out of the sky.

So the best thing you can get to a locked spot is a max

[Discordja]

the way i understood it also was that you will only be able to defect if your side is dominating .. to help balance the factions a bit.

[AztecWarrior]

Here's my opinion of the war:
For three months, the factions will be fighting. One faction will be generally losing, but not too much. Another will be pretty much where they started. Another will be gaining slowly.

Then all hell breaks loose as the Common Pool, wildly rich from arms deals, unleashes a doomsday fleet of Galaxies with auto-turret one-shot-kill heavy lasers and nuclear missiles. A swift CP victory. :p

[KeviN]

Hah! But you're forgetting the Uncommon Pool! They will roXX0r ur b0xxors!

[Deadlock]

i have faith in the ps team. once it starts gettin borring im sure they'll have plenty of add on suprises for us.

on a side note: the idea of hundreds of troops drop poding onto a siezed continent at the same time in order to get a foothold would be an auesome sight.

an even further side note: say tr has siezed a continent, the nc get are able to hack a plant on that siezed island. now nc can use the warp gate, but can the vanu?

[Flameseeker]

Yes, the Vanu can. Also, I WAN'T it unbalanced. I want it 2:2:1: on TR, VS, and NC. That means I'm outnumbered. I love guerrilla warfare. I fight better when outnumbered. Always maintain a 2:1 kill/death ratio. More targets. More BEPs. More fun.

[AztecWarrior]

Captain, are you sure about this? Four versus one in the air is a kill.

[BUGGER]

yeah, but if I was the monkey in the middle and you where the one throwin the ball..........lets just say.........your dead.;)

[Flameseeker]

It's far more complex than 4:1. The equation goes like this;
(4*.5):(1*x) x=10/10 skill And when you solve....
2:10. Gotta feel sorry for em.

[SilentCacophony]

Besides, have you guys not heard of an alliance? If one team was ruling all continents, I'd strike a deal with them (thanks to my ambassador certification) and team up to go take over the most vulnerable continent.

Scout around, and see where the defenses are weakest. Have each faction focus on one continent each for a week or so, and then BOOM, both teams attack an unsuspecting continent. They agree to divide it in half, and build up to overthrow whoever is in power.

Eventually someone is going to break the alliance, or some clan will get pissed at another clan, but hey, it's just one big FPS game of Risk.

[SandTrout]

The only time that an empire gets its totals adjusted is if there is a population imbalance. This imbalance is decided by playtime of the empire, rather than acounts/characters on it.

This way, you can dominate with skill without haveing to give anything up, but you cant use a vast numerical advantage.

[SilentCacophony]

By "them", I mean the other opressed team. Couldn't edit my own post :(

[mistled]

The ambassador certification huh... I'll have to get myself one of those... and maybe a UN cert too... heehee... bring the whole planet to a stand still !!!!!!!!!!!!

[SilentCacophony]

Don't you think that would be the coolest cert to have? You could claim diplomatic status, but it strips you of all weapons. At which point you can then go into enemy bases (learn the lay out if they let you inside) and discuss treaties. Since it strips you of weapons, you can't just all of a sudden kill anyone, and they can't kill you cause you have diplomatic immunity :D

Can you even talk to the other groups? I don't see how they'd have you talking to 3000 people, and I don't see getting up close to someone carrying my giant gun for a little "chit chat".

[mistled]

that would be cool...

but no, you can't talk to the other empires, but if they are close to you and use voice commands, you can hear those... I don't think we've ever gotten official word about how far away the text messages can come from, so I dont' know if you can only talk within your group of people or not

*edit*, you said groups, not empires, sorry

[SilentCacophony]

Groups, empires, factions, tomatos, potatoes. All in all you'd have to set something like that up with other clans from outside the game before hand. Would still be cool though. Tell them "We're striking at 10 PM EST." Then at 10, the empire in charge all of a sudden has everyone from the other two knocking at their front door.

I think they should change that, you should be able to transport over the ocean thats something that would open up new possibilities in attack and defense

The thing is that SPAM SHOULD BE SHOT....i mean if you fly high enough would you be able to kinda soar to the other continent or would you just drop like a rock?



Dark- I wanna go from continent to continent....DIE!

I got a ninja mode.... look => :furious:

If you go past X# of meters past the shore line, you drop, simple as that.

The entire reason they have oceans is in reality for lag issues, each island is its own server, and own load, so you don�t need everything loaded at the same time, thus a great reduction of lag issues.

If you could fly over them, then they would have to make the ocean its own server, and it would greatly complicate the game....

I do agree it could be fun, but it is not feasible the way the game is set up, and then again, who really wants to sit in a plane for a half hour to get somewhere when it only takes 2 min to get there via warp gates and drop ships?

[Madprofessor9]

well I heard somewhere they might be planing ships battle in the future so it may be possible hehe

as for gliding the flying vehicals I hate to say but there not like like planes of today that can glide down using alt to transition for speed thus giving lift to the aircraft but there basicly basicly big boxes of metal held up in the air with powerful engines. you cut the power to those engines your aircraft will be a falling brick
hehe so oceans would be the last place a pilot would want to go hehe :)
wahhhhhhhhh..........splash!..... gurgle..gurgle..gurgle...Blaaaaa...

[NeoTassadar]

How fast do those start back up and cancel out the inertia? You might be able to pull some badass manuvers with vertical drops.

Personaly if my teams is loosing bad ill jsut wait up till about 4am on a tuesday night with 6 friends at my house on a LAN and we'll to some serious late night takeover while everyone is sleeping heh :cool:

This is what I hear alot of people say that only play FPS or RPG say, but to a person would likes war strat games, this is cool. Some people need a blinking text on the screen saying "You've Won", others perfer to have their "wins" they way they want them.

Exp: I could care less about CTF x # of times, I want to crimple the enemies defence, or make my fort uber so no one can brake into it.

Taken out the turrets so a main force can attack is my WIN. If they hack the base or not, if I do my job well, I've won. I don't need some computer saying I've won, I know I did.

[Lonehunter]

I think land battles are just fine. Matbe that's becouse i like to blow shit up!:blowup: :twisted:
