Zergside?

But when you gotta figure that you need 100s of people to do take over bases, theres not gonna be a lot of coordination past "attack so and so" I mean seriously here, how many outfits do you think there are gonna be with the amount of people required to take a highly trafficed area? There might be one big clan/outfit like that per side.

There's at least one on NC

And I wholeheartedly agree with you, post count means absolute shit. It is not an indicator of the validity of your posts nor does it mean you have any idea what the hell you are talking about. It's about as important as the quotes up in the corner. They're cute, but that's about it as far as usefullness goes.

Airlift i dont play on cyysor, so why did you post that smart ass graphic?

If i remember right it was Ishunder i was talking about, which in my experience was never packed until open started. Im just hoping that this game doesnt become like eq became. After awhile every zone i went into was packed, even the ones that started out being relatively empy.

Have you ever been to Odus? OoT? Lesser Faydark or Mistmoore?

Those places are almost completely empty most of the time.

(Back to PS)
And if all the enemies are charging your base in a zerg swarm, why not cert in a thumper, stand on a side, and launch shrapnel death into the lemmings?

I couldnt imagine a clumped zerg lasting long with a bunch of reavers doing strafing runs along the lines either..

The smartass graphic fits for any of the three continents that border two Sanctuaries (Ishundar, Cyssor, or Esamir), I'm just too lazy to make new versions and the one people usually complain about is Cyssor.

The thing is, you have a choice between going to a continent that is not crowded, or one that is crowded. Both types of place are available, and many continents have spots that provide both types of gameplay. If you don't want to play in a huge battle (which btw is the principle selling point of the game), you should head to the backwater.

I enjoy both, and when I get bored doing one of them, I go do the other. I have not noticed every zone being packed, even in peak times, and that is on the busier of the two servers (beryl).

I love zergs... as a combat engineer it's just more fodder for my turrets and mines.

I hate small well-run tactical forces...they always bypass my traps

If it wasnt true then, it sure as hell is now...

MASSIVELY Multiplayer First Person Shooter

If you and your buddy are all it takes to defend a CC, then it's not very massive, is it?

I hear BF1942, or even TFC is great for that kinda stuff.

Why not make every server hold 3k people and just make it a battle over control of 3 bases?

Eq was a mmo, did that mean that eq needed to have 3k people attack one mob? or 3k people people be in the same zone. Your point is old and it has no contribution to the convo...

If everyone wants to be a smart ass atleast make a good point.

How many people attack a single base in PS now?

How many people did you bring on Dragon rades in EQ?

While I never played EQ, I'd assume (correctly, btw) that the numbers would be pretty damn close.

Oh, and compairing a base attack with all human players to an NPC mob is some pretty faulty logic.

"Why not make every server hold 3k people and just make it a battle over control of 3 bases?" - Because that would be insanity. A balance between that insanity, and your 2 person defense if what's needed if PS plans to make it.

A raid v an npc in eq is pretty damn close to what is needed to take a base now, thats not faulty logic :/ sry.

Im sorry but i dont see this lattice system as a balance between the insanity, if anything it magnifies it because on most continents theres only going to be a few bases that are being fought over. There will only be a few bases which CAN be fought over...
