An open letter to the TR and VS CR5s

[p0intman]

I've no idea how many TR/VS 5's read this forum, but im putting this here anywho.

As of late, people may of noticed a slight change in the preference for targets NC displays during US primetime. We tend to favor Forseral and Hossin... a lot. I can say with confidence that this is due to our annoyance at having our homeconts targeted. You may also note that we frequently cap forseral and get quite nicely into hossin before leaving it to be ghosted back.

This is all intended. What I'll say is this, because I've said it elsewhere:

NC doesn't enjoy fighting on our conts. Don't hit ours, and we won't take your caves/oshur/homeconts with massive pops designed to just steamroll you without much of a fight.

Tl;dr: gtfo our homeconts and we'll not make your nights miserable and leave you without decent fights while we steamroll you. So instead of fighting on ours, we've decided to simply annex yours for a night.

thanks,

Well, next time I'm online I'm taking my squad to Amerish. See you there!

[Baneblade]

Fuck everyone, I'm zerging sanc.

[Goku]

TR can keep the crappy battle islands in my book if they do not go after Amerish. Sounds like a good trade off :).

[Firefly]

So in other words, you want to hold hands, sing songs like "Kumbaya" and "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore" and talk about your feelings and philosophize about life and the cosmos? Instead of actually doing what the rest of us want to do, which is fight it out?

Why don't you go play some Farmville on Facebook? In the mean time, I'm going to take my squads and throw garbage in your backyard.

Have a nice day.

See, imo, theres really no reason to hit homeconts anymore. Well, besides drawing a distraction and to be assholes to each other.

I'm proposing, simply, that we keep fights on benefit conts... that are actually fun to fight on. Or, you can continue to hit homeconts... and we'll be douchebags right the hell back, camp your spawns and blow your gens anywhere we decide to go. Because, you know, we can play that too.

edit: Id rather not do the above. I rather like big tank and air battles.

[Traak]

I'm for anything that gives us big tank and air battles.

That leaves, what, one good place? The caverns are crap.

You make it sound like the NC are the only people who can effectively fight on other peoples' home continents, camp spawns, blow gens, go anywhere they want.

Congratulations. You've just effectively convinced the other two empires to tag-team you and make you the centre bar in a Wobbly-H.

[krnasaur]

pointman you idiot.... why? If they want to attack the homeconts, let them, they are just leaving the bene's open, i dont see the problem.

Fun fact: If your empire works together to resecure, or if enough players who dont suck show up, you can resecure bases before they ever flip to red or purple.

you mean how we blobbed the ever loving crap out of dagon, sungrey and andvari tonight? I do believe we followed through with what I had said would happen: gens died and CCs were overrun with massive sheer numbers. you weren't given a fight, in the sense of the word - we very simply decided to slaughter you when it came to homeconts.

Now, just imagine, if you came to resecure the base, before it changed pretty colors. Then you wouldnt have to stare at the walls for 15 minutes.

I love how bold the NC have become lately. To openly post this to PSU, then to openly mock some of the best the TR/VS have. I mean, you've got some ballz man. Really big cajones. Suck a fart out of my ass, you puss-sucking skidmark.

Putting the annoying troll aside speaking of which, I don't need a bad outside source to tell me if I'm good or bad, self-evaluation + good clan members = awesome.

We have pretty much burned PS out, constant snore fest fights. Can't fly because of the absurd amount of AA and Wasps, can't fight on the ground because of the absurd amount of max units and special assault, can't cloak because every player and their mother uses darklight.

Not to mention SOE's refusal to ban subtle cheaters who aren't actually being that subtle.

Indeed. I am a bit burned out as well. SOE should roll back the max BR to 25. Will cut down a lot on everything mentioned above. I don't have any problem with really anything you mentioned, but in the quantities is we now see it is absurd.

I had no idea the NC where so coordinated to have one spokesperson on behalf of the whole empire. Why don't the TR and VS Emperors come post here too so we can discuss a peace treaty to solve this war for good.

Psssst... OP...

... this isn't much. I could only get quick screen-grabs in Sanctuary because once we decided to put our dick in your backdoor, I was too busy playing to take cheesecake shots of your toothbrush up my ass. Now, I admit, it was short notice, and it wasn't incredibly organized - certainly not as organized as the whole of the NC getting together and declaring you New Conglomerate Public Affairs Officer, or deciding to become a unified fighting force...

... but it was fun fucking you in the ass and ruining your plans at having a unified Farmville cock-stroking event. Again, I reiterate... this game is about PVP. You play your way, we'll play ours, and we'll shoot shit and blow each other up and ruin each otherses plans. Don't like it? Go play Farmville.

I don't exactly feel any need to get into a dick measuring contest. So all I'll say is you all farmed amerish for a day or so. We've farmed hossin for a week now. Good fightz, yeah?

Also, when you come to understand that PVP isnt nessacarily about screwing the other guy over but about seeing crap blow up and blowing crap up... you'll understand.

Sun shines on a dog's ass every now and again, troop. I watched Amerish get turned into a farm yesterday. And your "farm" at Hossin quickly turned into a three-way yesterday, and your blue and yellow friends looked like the poor girl at Casting Couch who's quickly confronted by two enormous dicks and forced to suck 'em both before she gets the double-anal. Speaking of farms - I know you weren't there since you speak English, but I had fun doing a very long gen-hold up at Chac on Hossin against your Chinese comrades while the Vanu were cock-gagging the NC over at Kisin.

Also, when you come to understand that PVP isnt nessacarily about screwing the other guy over but about seeing crap blow up and blowing crap up... you'll understand.
As I said - you play your way, we'll play ours, and we'll shoot shit and blow each other up and ruin each otherses plans. We're speaking the same language here, you're just getting a dose of Firefly-loving because you felt the need to be a little blow-hard. If you can't handle the shit-talking, don't talk shit. I don't know about anyone else but I'm laughing at how hard you're trying to sound. Relax, homie. It's a fucking game. You're gonna take it up the ass, we're gonna take it up the ass, the VS are gonna take it up the ass. Everyone's gonna get to shoot stuff, blow stuff up, and we're all paying a sub for this.

[p0intman]

Ah see, you shouldn't mistake it as an unwillingness to talk crap. I just rather not.

But if its talking shit~

BWC was infiltrated by an agent of mine as early as 2005-ish? Yeah, its pretty lolzy how easy it is. That person no longer plays, but there you go. Not impressed with the armor, either. Whatever happened to the multiple galaxies?

Infiltrate BWC? Please, child. We welcome just about anyone and we actively and publicly recruit. We're not, like, some uber-secret classified organisation. Either you or your buddy might be a fucking retard if you think otherwise.

Applicants merely sign up on the forums, agree to maintain a standard of conduct as well as keep Medium Assault at all times, and they need to be on voice-comms. You know... like (minus the MedAslt) 99% of the other outfits out there? We don't have some ridiculous secret-handshake and ritual. I had a good chuckle at what a moronic post you made. Thanks for the laughs.

[Firefly]

Ah I see. How many does BWC field during prime time?
That formation wasn't all BWC. We're usually at squad-plus or two-squad strength, I think. It comes and goes and it varies. There was a significant amount of non-BWC in the series of images. We all decided that since, y'know, sparky the clown over there started popping his fat mouth off about "ZOMG STAY OFF OUR TURF OR WE'LL GET MAD AND SLAUGHTER YOU!" that we'd go have a little fun.

Fun.

You know, a concept certain people seem to interpret differently and wish to impose on the rest of us paying customers.

[Goku]

That is still good numbers considering the game's current population. I figured you guys had them extra help doing those. Still impressive regardless. To be honest I have completely missed out on all this home cont mayhem. My net at my school won't let me play games here now for 2 1/2 weeks and likely won't be till next Friday making it 4 weeks total (stupid IT guys). When I get home on the weekends seems like all empires are on benefit conts anyway.

Though if this thread it cause all that I can't say it was really productive whatsoever lol. No sense in getting the enemy riled up if you can't defend yourself properly.

Unlikes the NC with its one single obnoxious mouthpiece and apparently cohesive supreme allied command where all outfits and all soldiers willingly obey one single person, the TR doesn't do that (much to my dismay).

And truth be told, I will gladly throw caution to the wind without any single thought for the rest, in order to have a fun time with my outfit mates and allies doing whatever WE want, because we're not under an Oath of Enlistment or any other obligation. Ergo we'll abandon whatever lame quagmire the so-called Brain Trust has gotten itself into and go take a shit on Amerish in your backyard just to mess with the OP. :D

Come what may - success, defeat, the other TR taking it in the ass, namby-pamby whining on forums about how the NC really don't like it and we're gonna pay - the end-goal is to have a good time. Full stop.

I think our conversation from when we (the VS) were getting double teamed on Fors the other day sums this up pretty well...

03/15/2011 12:36:04 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: so question for you
03/15/2011 12:36:11 : To P0INTMAN: sup?
03/15/2011 12:36:16 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: whats the attitude on vs command about the forseral situation?
03/15/2011 12:36:31 : To P0INTMAN: what do you mean?
03/15/2011 12:36:34 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: im finding this hilarious, yall come to our homes alla time... and now..
03/15/2011 12:36:39 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: we have half of forseral
03/15/2011 12:37:12 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: and you guys actually have global pop on us..
03/15/2011 12:37:40 : To P0INTMAN: well we also have TR on us
03/15/2011 12:37:41 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: See... we don't ENJOY fighting on esamir or amerish
03/15/2011 12:40:12 : To P0INTMAN: one wonders why you guys are always so slow to respond to hacks to your home conts then
03/15/2011 12:40:17 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: i think, honestly, a ton of NC would appreciate it if the VS were to back the F off of our conts
03/15/2011 12:40:25 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: Honestly, because nobody wants to
03/15/2011 12:40:39 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: Nobody actually cares anymore, its just a stupid mess to clean up in the morning
03/15/2011 12:41:00 : To P0INTMAN: Well if you dont respond to hacks, conts open. Thats the game
03/15/2011 12:41:04 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: its literally like pulling teeth to get anyone to give a damn
03/15/2011 12:41:27 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: So... our attitude, really... is starting to be to let you all get bored and fight the tr and then backhack/ghosthack it
03/15/2011 12:41:32 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: an hour or two later
03/15/2011 12:42:05 : To P0INTMAN: well the massive fights we get by the time we get to Jarl/Qumu seem to disprove that
03/15/2011 12:42:09 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: and this is coming from somone, mind you, who is all gung-fucking-ho to secure homeconts above all
03/15/2011 12:42:28 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: and by the time you get there, people actually respond.
03/15/2011 12:42:39 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: but for the most part? its really supremely hard to care
03/15/2011 12:43:09 : To P0INTMAN: exactly, but if they responded when it was just one hack; the fight would last 8 minutes, rather than an hour
03/15/2011 12:43:38 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: Again, 90 percent of NC don't really give a damn about the VS.
03/15/2011 12:43:48 : To P0INTMAN: until we're at Qumu
03/15/2011 12:43:51 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: we dont find fighting any of you fun
03/15/2011 12:44:01 : To P0INTMAN: then why hit Fors?
03/15/2011 12:44:11 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: no idea, wasnt my target calling
03/15/2011 12:44:18 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: i was /afk when it happened for three hours
03/15/2011 12:44:32 : To P0INTMAN: it was somebodies, who apparently disagrees with you about fighting the VS
03/15/2011 12:45:04 : [Tell] P0INTMAN: i think i speak for the dozen or so NC in neit lobby when i say we're fucking bored with you all
03/15/2011 12:45:22 : To P0INTMAN: then i wish youd go hit the TR


The point being; if you resecure, home conts don't open. If you don't expect to have to recall and defend them eventually (or get sanc'ed). Honestly, we (DARK) hit Andvari rather often for one of two reasons:

a) it's the only cont guaranteed to get a response from the NC; especially around 11 and later, the NC will let whole beni conts go with maybe 1-2 guys coming to attempt to resecure.

b) We don't like fighting with the VS zerg, but hitting Andvari pulls NC (usually the better NC at that) from the *main* fight, which helps the 'empire' progress without forcing us to hold their hands the whole way.

Everyone get's their home conts hit. I honestly can't say I've noticed an uptick in hacks at Dagda, we've gotten them regularly since Forseral was our home cont. If it makes you feel any better, the TR are regularly at Igaluk, Anu, or Keelut; and we regularly hit Hurakan, Sobek, Naum, and Zal. All with the same intention above (good fights which pull TR). It's how the game works, you shouldn't take home cont attacks as personal assaults, it's how the game works.

@Mightymouser

I cannot say I find a fight assaulting any base with 70% NC and 30% VS defending that fun. Running in getting 2 kills and doing that hour a hour or more gets quite tiring. Hell I don't find assaulting Amerish or Esamir much fun anymore even if it is even pops. Playing the same map over and over every night gets pretty boring.

While I do not completely agree with, Point's, current attitude I see where he is coming from. Though the NC do need to work on their resecures as you noted.

Do the NC lack outfits to accompish the above? Yes. Though I think every empire has the same issue of having the majority of the outfits barely active and even those who are do not do much for pushing the map. There are expectations of course, but there are very few these days.

I jerked off in the toilet at Qumu. I also took a fat shit in the spawn tube at Azeban. Sorry about that.

I'm not sure what in my post you're responding to; but I'm going to guess you're talking about trying to retake a base after the VS open one on your home cont...?

Well, I don't doubt it can get frustrating getting farmed by 30% VS; it happens in reverse too; except it doesn't last an hour because someone (often myself) pops the gen, sets a router, or otherwise progresses the fight. It might not be so much fun for you, but the solution is to resecure the base; not bemoan the people who hacked it; they're just playing the game and setting up what will be a fun fight for them. (being that 30% is very fun)

[Goku]

Yes I am responding to resecuring of bases. The NC is quite random in my experience when it comes to resecuring. There can be a half squad of TR holding Azeban and I call for help. I end up getting 2 squads of NC to help me get the base back. On other days there can be over a squad of VS in Andvari holding the base and I can for help again. Even if I call out when there is 13 minutes left on the base I am lucky to get a few guys coming in with a few minutes left. Seems like the NC hate fighting on Esamir the most against the VS. Though the main problem is most of the time it is only randoms coming in to resecure, and not a organized outfit. I have no problem with randoms getting it resecured, but you will not always get that needed response as a result.

For the most part I always see the NC attempting routers or max crashes. Though if the first few do not work there is constant patrols in the lower levels along with a group guarding the gen. At that point you almost have to wait for the base to go neutral due to the added layers of defense in the basement.

At this point I am so fed up with the constant home cont assaults by all empires I barely even play. Being the defender or the assaulter of the double team isn't fun in either case IMO. Either causes the defending party to have really shitty pops or one the assaulting forces end up ghosting one of the conts. Just makes bad fights and gets people irritated or bored causing them to log off.

I made the mistake of switching over to NC last night, mostly because I screwed up my certs on my vanu. Well, won't be doing that again. The night started off pretty well in Ish, good 3 way battles going on. Lots to do. Good battlefront lines, pushing back and forth between two bases. Pops weren't entirely uneven. All around it was good. Log off for dinner real fast, 30 minutes at most. Come back in and now everyone is in Esamir. Like really, ever single NC in the game. Which would be fine, if I didn't spend 2 hours going back and forth between 3 bases in a lightning, hardly ever seeing anything to shoot at. NC had 75% population on the map, and they still could not take out these 3 terran bases. (TR at the time was somewhere around 15%.) Seriously, Never switching to NC again. The JH just is not worth it. Hell I don't even like HA. VS for life, baby!

NC had 20% for a good amount of time while recapping Esamir from the TR and VS. By the time Kvasir was captured by us the TR pop had gone up significantly from that 15%. Were gens blow? Yes and I enjoyed destorying every single one. Honestly if the gens were not blow more TR would of showed up and the NC would of been screwed. TR had well over twice the global pop we did. The best one was at Jarl when Newskis setup his router by the end and our maxes blew it. The VS were probably not even in there for 15 minutes.

Firefly, you worry me, you are way too angry about absolutely meaningless things. Might look into some meds or therapy man. Or think of it as an excuse to use some weed, i mean how often do you get yelled at by someone on weed? Think about it.

And man you should try the other empires. I find it not only fun but helpful to learn their strengths and weaknesses.

And the rule on rexo piloting, nope unless its an open cockpit vehicle. Such as all the buggies. And the sunderer variants.

Broseph, no offense intended (apparently I need to make these caveats and disclaimers)... you shouldn't attempt to infer any sort of tonal or emotional inflection on my posts. Imagining me as the sort of person who's sitting here nerd-raging like a neckbeard troll only serves to amuse us both - you at your perceived imagery, and me because you've completely failed to get it right. I'm not mad - in fact, quite the opposite. I'm fucking with the original poster because A) people who take themselves seriously on the internet deserve to be messed with, and B) trying to tell the rest of us how to play the game deserves messing-with. Messing with srs-bzns makes me laugh. People who get angry on the internet have a giant target that says "please mess with me".

I have a well-used NC alt. I also have a VS alt which is strictly pilot, and I didn't bother wasting time de-certing and re-certing to answer my question because I could just ask someone and save us all the misery. Now, up until about a month ago I absolutely avoided playing VS so yes, I should [have tried long ago].

I'm just extremely amused that someone is trying to put parameters on how to play the game.
