What faction do you LEAST want to play as?

VioletZero · 2012-01-30, 06:43 PM

To counter the many polls asking what faction people will play, I want to ask what faction you want to play as the least.

Notice the wording there. You don't have to dislike a faction to pick it. It's just the one you're least interested in.

Also, I left out a neutral option by intention. I would rather have people here give it some thought rather than pick the lazy option. Believe it or not, this poll DOES have a personal purpose.

TR. Because all russians go TR.

Your poll nearly tricked me. Fortunatley I am TR and thus smarter than NC.

Haha, this is kind of a fun question

And I'm happy that you didn't make it a poll, but instead let us chat about it qualitatively.

If I were to rate my interest/love of each faction on a scale of 1-10, 1 being absolutely loathing, 5 being total indifference/neutrality, and 10 being absolute adoration, I would say:

Vanu is 9.5, NC is 7, and Tr is 6. I would enjoy playing any faction; they all rock, but that's my stratification, and Vanu wins out by a long shot

So I'd say I was least interested in TR.

Edit- awww, you made it a poll

I am unable to fill this poll correctly, as i want to play TR and NC the least equally.

I did make it a poll actually, it's just that the thread goes up before the poll does.

But that doesn't mean you can't talk about it. :3

I main NC, but I always liked magriders. TR sucks though.

NewSith · 2012-01-30, 06:52 PM

LOL nobody likes TR, yet it's always overpopulated... How come?

I don't think that it will be overpopulated come launch.

Planetside 2 is entering the stage in a much different market than Planetside 1. Not to mention with shinier graphics.

I anticipate that it will have similar population numbers at launch that MAG had.

Raven = Vanu = High tech guys = Most populated.

S.V.E.R. = New Conglomerate = Brute force/rag tag guys = Second most populated

Valor = Terran Republic = Those military guys no one wants to play as = Least populated.

Of course, there will be the balancing factors with bonuses to the least populated factions.

When first logging on to PS1 I thought the same thing (as did my friends) however it turned out the VS had the lowest population most of the time. *shrug*

I hate going with the crowd, cause Im doing you no good, but I cant answer either... I will play all.

Vanu 10
NC / Terran 9

... 1 being hatred...

Hmm, have to pick VS. Nothing about them appeal to me, I tend to favor the more modern militaristic equipment. Though its going to be a tough choice between playing TR or NC this time.

BlazingSun · 2012-01-30, 07:09 PM

VS .. what an easy choice that was!

Vancha · 2012-01-30, 06:58 PM

It's a hard decision because we haven't seen all of the relevant equipment that would cause me to have a preference, but between being purple, having a better background/atmosphere and probably having more appealing equipment, VS just scrapes past the TR, even though TR will probably have far more of my friends playing for them.

Also, I've noticed VS seem to have a rather large presence here at PSU, so that probably affects things.

Hmr85 · 2012-01-30, 07:01 PM

VS, I just never really cared for the whole floating alien scifi thing they had going on. Also the purple, never cared for the purple.
