TR take half.

[Kaikou]

Tonight on the Emerald server, the Terran Republic managed to achieve 5 continental locks. This equates to 50% of all of Auraxis. (excluding sancs)

Great job TR! :D

[Sentrosi]

hehe...now I'll sit back and wait for all the VS/NC posts that say we're too powerful. Wait, I'll actually go to bed and read these posts about 12 hours from now and then read on how they think we are too powerful.

All the VS needed to do to kick us off the continent in the beginning was stage a hardcore MAX invasion of the tower. Those reavers just sitting outside do nothing but keep us inside. And if you want us outside, where the CoF is much larger than inside, why use reavers at all? Just set up ambush sites nearby. This is what happens when they break off from the "Mother Republic" and think they're better than everyone because some 5 million year old artifact tells them that they are.

[NightWalker XI]

Woha, 50%

:eek:

Freedom shall be ours eventually...:D ;)

[Mamby]

Terran Rule We Roxors your boxors!!!!!

The NC AND VS.........MOHAHAHH!!!!

[Hollow Monkey]

50% seems kinda low, considering it is the TR.

[NightWalker XI]

Ha, a Doom screenshot, cool lol, I used to love that game

[Belial]

Yea I was on VS on Amerish last night and the TR were overunning the place, Me and my squad were trying to defend the last few bases but the TR playing were too well coordinated for us to effectivly fend them off. The players on the VS were not "team players" last night, I asked loads of questions regarding ANT status etc and not one person replied. I did state that we need to coordinate our defense or we would lose the continent...and we did
Not whinging there (comes with the online coop territory)..really enjoyed the game..just wondering now how we are going to fight back from last nights disaster....

Just become a combat engineer..love it

[DarkDragon00]

There are alot og TR Outfits which lead to the coordination. I know that my outfit was able to take 1/2 of in=shundar before we had any help from more squads. We had about 3 squads from my outfit and allies and then we had the peeps coming in after we took the hack arriving just in time to kill 1-2 peeps and get the experience (3.5k)!

[Belial]

yea thought the attacks were very well coordinated, multiple wave fronts and aerial attacks. Most of our inner defenses and sensors were destroyed by reavers. The TR then attacked from the East and drew the most attention, whilst from the NW a couple of galaxys were hot dropping a load of troops (nice few kills for my remaining turrets though...mmm)
Before we knew what was going on a couple of max's were in base and game over....

Was fun and frantic....

Belial

[Demdadar]

:eek:

50% , wow i think that's too much . Maybe TR it's too popular ?Well , i hope in the other servers TR won't own like that .

[WildCard101]

Well coordinated attacks by an empire to take over the planet is exactly what I wanted to see in this game :D

So far you've got 50%... keep going!

[NightWalker XI]

It would be more enjoyable if it were NC taking over :p

[Hamma]

Maybe instead of saying "Their weapons are too powerful" or saying "they have too many people" you could say, Good job TR. It was pure coordination, on amerish at least. I dont know about the other continents.

I had some of the best battles yet last night on amerish, great job to all.

[FliggenMan]

thats alot of dead things.

[Hamma]

Although the creator of this thread, Kai. Was busy trying to do "other things" during the lock.

[Happy lil Elf]

Just out of curiosity what was the Empire populations at the time?

[Kaikou]

ooh nooooo hamma you said you wouldn't show that pic!!

/me is embarrassed

[Belial]

I agree with you Hamma....
Best bit of mass coordination I have seen in any game..was amazing to watch (even though most of it was from my spawning map...lol)

[NightWalker XI]

LoL

Took a wrong turn I see :p

Who knows, haha. The TR fought all day for Amerish, looong battles.

I logged on at around 7:15 EST (I was late, bad Warborn) and the population bars had Terrans in second with 33%, NC with 30%, and the Vanu with 37%, if memory serves. However, I don't really trust the bars, as they fluctuate a lot. On Amerish though, as Hamma said, it was all coordination. The Outfit I'm in, Black Widow Company, along with Dragon Wolves, New Century Gamers, and probably another couple Outfits, were giving the Vanu a hard time there. All in all a good night to be Terran.

[MooKoo]

ya if you don't have a team that knows what you are doing you might as well try to knife a max, becuase your not going to go any where. i use teamspeak and like it alot better then the voice thing in ps, and when we got a full squad and when we got a good leader we pretty much rule. currently on markov playing as vanu

[Donkeysmiler]

Yeah, last night on Amerish was the AGO's first coordinated operation. (Technically not the first, but others were plauged by server instability/patches).

Great battles all around!

[Belial]

Glad to have contributed (my life..(several times I might add)) to your almighty cause..........

LOL

Belial

[PeregineDive]

I was there buddy! Spent 6 hours on Amerish, started out br3 and ended up 1/2 way to BR7. I am on Vanu =P And let me tell you, it was hell. We started capping early, saw Miir around a few times, but we just couldn't get our shit together. We got probably half the continent at one point. One time there was a lone hacker at Hokka(sp) so I went out there by myself. Tricky little bastard, a friendly finally showed up in a 'Skitto and we got the base back. But the VS was severly lacking on the team aspect. No one was talking, the TR were rushing like mad. Hell I saw Hamma get a triple kill from a vehichle, I forgot which one. I then preceded to storm mad TR MAXes in my reinforced armor with my Pulsar.. yea, this ain't CS. By 3 am I got the bright idea to trade in my AMS creds for a Mag, running over you little red dots is fun :D Hell I wasted a couples maxes, without a gunner.
The best night by far was near Cetan(I think), where our last of 2 bases. Those TR punks were pushing their hearts out. They finally got us out of their base and we had a lone tower. Our final stand off. The most memoriable moment would be the time I circle strafed a TR MAX like a mother :D He couldn't keep up with me, got him and 1 of the 2 grunts that came after... I couldn't stop laughing...
Thanks for the fun TR - we'll repay ya :love:

-PD

[Duffman]

MMMMMM... Amerish was so much fun last night. Every TR was amazingly cooridinated and we locked the VS back yard it was great the last battle for the final base was epic. There must have been 100-200 TR there.

The sad thing is when i woke up at 1 on sunday the cont was almost all VS and they later locked it.

[TekDragon]

So guys, you say it was a major offencive operation to lock VS backyard? 200 some people?

Im interested in knowing how the lag and frame rates were like in the heart of the heaviest combat.

[Hamma]

It got rough a few times - but overall the experience was great. The final push to the last base was just epic, what PlanetSIde is meant to be :D

[oosik]

Tek,

lag was fine. Gameplay was the most fun I've had in an online game ever. I did a lot of tanking on Amerish early on in the AGO push. My tank was the first across the bridge south of the Merkala tech plant. It was incredible. Infantry went across first and with the lead tank I had to be very careful not to run people over, so the advance across the bridge was at a crawl. figure 10-12 infantry in front of me, tanks and other vehicles behind me. Infantry did a good job of clearing mines (I remember donkeysmiler in particular taking out mines the right way...with his weapons. Other infantry did it the hard way...stepping on them.) As we neared the end of the bridge a Vanu drove up in an AMS and was quickly killed. When I got to the end of the bridge I pushed it out of the way to make room for the follow-on forces.

I came back to Amerish later that same day/night for the final push to achieve lock. Vanu fought hard and cdl troops helped by defending some base areas like Sangrey and onatha.

That battle lasted for basically at least 12 hours total. No other fps can do that with that many people on a persistant battlefield. A really great experience.

Continent locks and defending against continent locks are where its at right now. Really provides some huge and interesting battles.

[Angelos]

VS did same thing on Johari once. And there we are regularly #3 on population. I have no reason to think the TR or the NC or the VS are overpowered. Just all the good people go onto one side on one server and so all the whiny babies screaming nerf think the other side is overpowerful. They are just good with what they got.

[Saethan]

Yeah, well, TR can own all the continents they want, I'm too busy finding cool places to jump to (http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8694) in my max. Muahaha. :-D

I bet vanu like me are the reason you guys were so successful. Too busy jumping around in the MAX. ;-)

[Streamline]

Wasn't my fault. I was multi-killin on the Vpads. There's just too many of you TRs.

[Belial]

mmmmm
so youre the one who did that to me....ta

so many dead bodies......

[BeerJedi]

Terran Battalion was apart of the Amerish battles. I went to bed near 4AM that night... Zzzz...

I did get a good pick of Hamma and his crew as i ran for my life. They saved me. :mrgreen:

And that was some intense fightin'.

[Kikinchikin]

yeah the sad thing is, i went to bed at 3 that day. came back at 2 in the afternoon and all 5 continents were GONE!!!!! I couldnt believe it. i was actually on 3 of those continents helping. heck my squad captured like 5 bases on ishundar. and we were on searhus for a good 4 hours. and i got on amerish when we were capping the last 3 bases. its such a shame though, we lost all 5 of those locks in 12 hours... :( ah well biproduct of the lattice. it all depends what kind of player u are. u want mass battles and fun lattice works for u but if u want to hold a base for over 12 hours, lattice defintely screws that idea. but hey i'd like both. overall lattice is good idea to kick a dead horse.

Just so the NC and Vanu know there is a site EXACTLY the same concept as AGO is for the TR. http://www.covertassault.com There is a commander chat and general chat areas. The commander chat area is for squad/outfit leaders to coordinate a massive attack with other outfits.

AGO is a VERY important role in how TR work so well together. it has nothing to do with physics or balence issues.

So I encourge outfit/squad leaders to sign up and get their troops to sign up to have the same advantage the TR have.

[Cranerat]

Was on last night experimenting with two new characters. Playing Vanu. A lot still escapes me but I have to say there were some BIG battles and they lasted a while, see-sawing back and forth for control.
I was playing both a GAL pilot for a pickup squad and later an AV MAX. What a kick this game is. Hot dropping a squad on a tower to assault and take it over to lumbering through hallways getting JACKED up by Terrans tossing grenades. By the time I logged off Terrans had taken most of what the Vanu had started to claim on whatever world I was on.
I sure hope they keep it interesting and something work for in the game.
I also don't see much difference in the differnt weapons and systems available to each race. Have to admit I hate the LOKs I get as a GAL driver, the Terran missiles have, but I'm sure the Vanu have something equivelant.

All I have to say is "Good Job Terrans" We did our best to take what we could but in the end you all pushed us from the main base (Forget the name, could have been Atur) after a good hour of fighting. I had a blast. I even recalled to Sanctuary to pick up a replacement GAL to transport my crew out. Needless to say that was no exp for the 15 min it took to get back.

[Happy lil Elf]

...

How exactly does the lattice screw holding bases? All the lattice does is prevent people from just hacking any base any time.

[NoSurrender]

damn P24 the intro is GREAT i hope i didnt spell ur name wrong well im finally on the right side TR and im workin on the whole sig deal

[MasterGnr]

well, played for about 90 minutes tonight.

Call it whining, bitching, crying...whatever.

I have lived through many an evolution thru several games. There is an imbalance in this game. TR has close quarter weaponry superiority. Sure the NC has better vehicles...but once in a base...does that matter?

Good thing the first month is free.

MG

[Hamma]

If there is such an imbalance how come the numbers havent shown it yet?

Unlike most games.. all that stuff is tracked with PS.. its always being monitored for severe inbalances.

[MasterGnr]

If you are referring to the weapons imbalance I claim....give it 2 weeks and watch more people flock to the TR side. Also...if TR begins to lock up continents...then what? That is when you will see a dramatic shift of people.

Believe me, I really want this game to be something I enjoy playing. Had I chosen the TR side to begin with, maybe I wouldn't be so pessemistic. But I ask you this...

How many people tried all 3 sides during the beta and chose TR because of the weps? Do you notice there is a large contingent of beta testers on TR? Why? Don't give me the "we liked the storyline" crap :)

Hamma....you and Mars both know I am a fair person. I just have to wonder that if in the first 24 hours TR is so effective...can it simply be because you guys have a website to coordinate attacks? And if you say that is the reason, you have just sealed the games fate, as who would be willing to join the other factions and try to wrestle continents from you?

And all while paying $12.99.....

MG

[Revolver]

I don't think you can really call it coordination...all it was was us taking over. It was just "get this base, then go to the next." Meh...going back to NC...I want a challenge...

[saiyanm]

NOo!!! The NC will lock the continents back down! NC FOREVER!!!!

[NoSurrender]

im all for TR and i do love the weapons and all yada yada but dont say VS and NC weps are that good ive been killed many a time by a Jackhammer or a Lancer or a Lasher even with my cycler

I was a BR15 VS and a BR16 TR during beta. NC is what I'm playing now and I plan on getting to BR20 with it. I've said it before and I've said it again. Numbers and level of coordination have far more to do with why you are getting your butt kicked than weapon specs. I've been on both sides of the butt-kicking fence and nothing I've seen in the different empires has changed this opinion.

[wasupx]

sometimes the best defense from continent locks is individual offense. I used to use infil/spec assault/hacking combo to go into backline bases and destroy respawn tubes>terminals>generator>wall turrets. Drops a base 90% ntu over 30min, takes 5-10min to do when u work it out right. Completely destroys long offensive of other side and even after two months in beta it was sparsely used tactic. With two people doing this it takes under 5min per base, plenty of time b4 they can react. Really does slow down big offensives alot, but people deem this as boring so i guess they never do it.

[wasupx]

and yah, the guy said it right, TR does have CQB in base superiority. Why i love hunting them down in the open with vanu. Best fun was like 8am in morning one day on searhus, i ran over the same squad of TR with mag about 4-5 times each. I used the magrider as static defense between their respawn points shelling them from far away and pinning them in their tower for bit too haha. Nothing like driving your mag and gunning your mag and still easily killing people. I would say the funnest time i had in beta was driving my magrider along a mountain ridge full of friendly snipers, and parking it next to them and just shelling poor basserds in a base :p

Key when fighting TR is to rain holy hell on them outside their bases to really frustrate them. That= phoenix/lancers for max, vanguard/magrider for infantry/vehicles, vanu max, and reavers. Make those MAX armor piss their pants when they look outside. Thats where i took satisfaction, running every gd one of them over. When someone in my outfit would gun, i would easily get 60+kill runs in one mag. Best run was like 95kills, 6prowlers, ~15 reavers, rest was infantry over hour and 20min.

Top tactics i wish to see more of: NTU guerrilla warfare, static defense use of vehicles (tanks especially), use of the reavers cannons! The cannons kick so much ass against vehicles but so many newb pilots fly low towards my magrider and my gunner chews em up. I tore up many tanks including magriders with cannons and high altitude. Dump ~150rounds into them, and then stop for about 3min. They will hide to repair, then rocket them to death. You should be at an elevation/angle where they cant see you.
