old oshur event is bs.

Rumblepit · 2012-07-07, 05:28 PM

dont tend to rage much, but im gonna speak my mind about this.

rules were most bases after 6 hrs wins, all bases were neutral to start.

so the event starts out like this, tr in a warpgate ,nc in a warpgate , and vs in a tech base???????? yup they started in a tech base. anyway we run for tech and a inerlink right off the bat. before we got past the first towers vs were showing up in mossies and started mowing us down. never the less we pushed on and so did the nc. we got a good foot in the door and started with 4 bases, nc had 3 and vs had 3. we push the vs back to 1 base with the nc. then we drop their gen and they have no spawn point... vs are gone right??????? no. Brewko gets in csr chat and says vs send me a tell if u want on old oshur. back up to full pop in no time. tr and nc push on. we get them pinned into their last bases and we are farming away waiting for the ntu to drain. it was down to 40% when brewko yet again lends a helping hand. 40% to 90% in a blink of a eye.

love to take part in community events,but the next time he has one im gonna tell him to shove that event up his purple butt.

maybe ill be the only one offended by this, im very competitive.

You do know VS lost right?

NoDachi · 2012-07-07, 05:37 PM

Looks like you still got Oshurs sand still up your butt.

Rumblepit · 2012-07-07, 05:37 PM

well aware of it. they should have been out along time ago. eitherway the event was bs.

and to tell ya the truth it would have been better if he was fair about it. all he did was pissoff the tr and the nc and that got the vs booted.

favoritism dosnt always work out so well.

Not only that, but VS did not start in a tech ...

The fact of the matter is that the NC and TR downright colluded to rob any fun from a helpless VS.

We lost the event when we lost Jamshid. Without tech or any way to pull it, and with a single base, it would have been impossible to take anything without losing our last base. Whatever, we got slammed, OK. Attacking the generator is a lame but effective tactic. But intentionally teaming up because of idiots who thought the VS cheated, and destroying any fun that could have been had, now that is in poor taste.

There was no overt collusion ... I was there and there was nothing on command chat .... if it happened it happened because it was the sensible thing to do. But there was no 'agreement'.

I understand there may have been issues but you have to understand Brewko organized this event on his day off. Sometimes the events don't go as planned just have to roll with the events and try and enjoy them or don't and play on the rest of the map.

I mean the devs don't have to plan events for us as all but I personally appreciate that they take the time to do these things and interact with the community

What's the crying about? Each empire had a tech plant an equal distance away from their starting point. VS got Jamshid, NC got Izha and TR got Dahaka.

If anyone should be complaining it'd be us, we got double teamed. But even then it took both empires forever, with a population advantage to take us down. And it only happened when they took the gen down. If the gen was defended we'd still be holding it.

I guess the event was fun for a while nonetheless.

Baneblade · 2012-07-07, 06:45 PM

I still think they should just swap out Ish and swap in Oshur.

Pyreal · 2012-07-07, 05:48 PM

Was VS under there 150 player limit?

OnexBigxHebrew · 2012-07-07, 05:51 PM

Wow. I'd just be happy that someone gave a damn about organizing an event for a decade old relic of a game. Count your blssings that anyone still logs on.

RodenyC · 2012-07-07, 05:56 PM

Hmm the OP got to play yet after 4 hours I didn't.Op is either NC or TR teaming up and not killing each other so they can kick the VS off? And he's complaining? Did I miss something?

basti · 2012-07-07, 06:03 PM

Obviously Rumble doesnt know what really happend, at all.

VS started in one warpgate, just as anyone else. But, for whatever reason, a good chunk of our guys got teleported to atar and not the warpgate. We told Brewko several times, but the event started anyway, and we just put our hack on atar (that was the plan all along anyway).
Some of us (ISK + VC) quickly grabbed mossys and went to Jamshid. AT maxcrashed over to Jamshid as well.

Thats why we had a tiny headstart.

Now, the NTU is a different topic. You cannot get a ANT on old Oshur, as there is no Warpgate to fill it. GMs cannot spawn filled ANTs, or teleport vehicles, means there literally is no way to get a filled ant on Old oshur.
They could only fill bases manually, and thats what they did.

I did like the event, but VS got double teamed right from the start. Im pretty sure TR will win this one, as NC suck way to much to pull anything good off.

Having Instant action working on Old Oshur would have helped a ton, but sadly that didnt seem possible.

The three empires started on even grounds, even if the quickness of the first hacks on all sides surprised me. The pop was 33% for the first hour, then as it became clear that VS was getting doubleteamed, the VS pop dropped. I think that was the cause for the late invitations to some VS, if there really were any.

Thanks to the devs and all who organized this event, and for the nice "loser commendation"

Afraid this isn't true, VS started at Atar and hacked it right away, as well as hacking out mozzies to go farm TR and NC who had to run from a WG to the nearest base. Check the other thread with the pic of the starting map.

Further to that, a Drop ship centre with constantly filling NTU is the easiest thing to defend in a 3way. NC and TR were fighting in CY, TR managed to sneak a router pad in which you should have defended.

Just curious there bud, where was that router pad placed? I don't suppose it was placed inside the boxes was it?

Honestly curious. I didn't see it anywhere down there, though I could have missed it. If it was 'inappropriately' placed, I don't care too much since every empire seems to have some dick who's willing to do it, but I certainly wouldn't be bragging about winning that way.
