I really didnt see much of problem before the lasher update, when the jackhamemr was the strongest. All of the sides were still able to hold their own. Every side had their decent chunk of bases at the end of each day. Now its just crazy.

hahahahaha, youve got to be joking. There have been tons of thread about how the lasher is "overpowered" now. All from NC at that. You guys seem to forgot you are now MATCHED in HA. You meet someone closerange with jh and the other guys got a lasher, its goina be damn close unless you suck with the jackhammer.

And how dident you see the problem? Oh wait, I guess its fun to play an underpowered emprie, cause NC just beats up on low ranks anyways.

Becasue back then every empire was at least getting 25% of the bases at the end of each day.

Maybe on the server you played, other servers got owned hardcore by NC.

[Lonehunter]

Yeah 1024, you play on Johari. I have a character there. It's boring hardly any action. Even when there is, not nearly as much as the action on Emerald. Back in the day, NC owned all.

[1024]

Emerald is all zerging(or so it seems). Johari has a lot mroe tactics due to the alck of palyers. Althoug hi'm not saying theres no zergs on here though.

Lol!!! OMG, the servers were owned by NC before the patch? HA HA, no they weren't. NC had the most kills yes, but our beloved elmoes usually won. The NC was just blood n' gore with the zerg and JH. The TR held bases with their Pounder and Striker. Barney's children were hardly free EXP, they were gardeners (magmower).

The NC had their two advantages taken away from them: the Sparrow AA max (ninja nerfed), and the JH. What does this mean? The zerg moves on, thus the numbers of the empire nerfed, or left unchanged, dwindles.

I refuse to complain though, because as a result of the migration of the overmind, the NC as a result will become better as a faction, and use their other weapons to their advantage. For example, I killed 12 of Barney's kids consecutively with a Thumper loaded with frag nades. Around 20 to 30 of Barney's children around the corner refusing to move while spamming a disco's worth of lasher orbs vs. my thumper = many orgasm-like-squeels-of-glee from me.

Oh oh happy days...

Hurrah! Get out there NC and whoop up!

I'd like to delve into a secret strategy.... don't look unless you're NC!

1.) Get a certification that you can kill something with (Like Jackhammer, any vehicle, or just load up on grenades!).

2.) Find an enemy.

3.) Fire, throw, drive, or fly low towards/at your enemy.

4.) Repeat step 3 until enemy is dead.

5.) Go to step 2.

If you've done everything right, it should look something like this....
NC Soldier --> <-- VS/TR Soldier

Good luck everyone!

That was so inspirational

[Cirkusphreak]

The one thing that still amazes me, is the fact that no matter what the NC post, the VS and TR try to turn it around so that we're complaining about the Lasher. This post was directed to NC by NC, as something inspirational to US, not you. If anyone saw anything at all in it regarding a 'nerf the lasher' theme, then you're reading way to fuggin far into it. Sounds like someone has a guilty conscience. Now that the roles are reversed in regards to who holds the HA crown, the VS rigidly defend their beloved lasher the same way the some NC used to with the JH before the patch. But now that they have the upper hand its fine to call everyone else whiners, but were doing the same not so long ago. Does that make it better? No. Does this make either side right? No. Don't be shitty winners though. You have the upgrade, gratz to you. There will be complainers about it, thats a given. Just like YOU used to complain about the JH. The JH hasn't been changed, but you don't hear anyone saying anything about how strong it is now. Mainly for two reasons:1. The majority of people who depended on it are now wearing purple. 2. The lasher is more potent than the JH ever was. Anyone who thinks that HA is evenly balanced now is smoking some crazy shit. But the why's and mean's of the JH-Lash-MCG debate will continue on probably forever. Every time you point the finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you on the same hand. By this I mean stop accusing people of doing shit that you've already done. Even so, you shouldn't forget the position you were in about a month ago. You didn't like it anymore than we do now. I don't use HA so I could care less, but i'm tired of every post we make, is replied the same way every time by the other two empires. The game as we know it will permanantly be changed due to the patch. I don't care what pro-lasher folk think, this is true to the end. So the TR and NC need to change tactics and strategy, fine. It'll be done in different ways as seen fit per situation. Whatever means are necessary to promote morale for the NC, be assured it'll be done as seen fit as well.

Well said. Very well said

Good afternoon, all.

The reason for this letter was not to open up a thread on "the jackhammer sucks" or "the lasher needs to be nerfed" or "the MCG is too powerful" and have everyone say each other is a whiner.

The whole point of this letter was to show - to EVERYONE, although my main audience was intended to be the NC - that no challenge is insurmountable. Looking at NC performance over the last few days, where we were lowest population on Johari but still managed to sweep continents effectively, is stark testimony to that.

Do I have a personal gripe with certain weapons? Yes. Does that stop me from fighting them anyway? No. We adapt to the circumstances provided for us. And at any rate, I've got a collection of Lashers if anyone with HA wants them. (Never had MA let along HA)

To anyone that sees my post as an incitement to post about nerfing - please read the bottom of my letter, where I pretty much remind people that this isn't a complaint thread, and I request that it's not used in such a fashion. Rather, let it inspire the Conglomerate (and sure, even the Terrans) to not lose heart with recent events, since when it all comes down to it, it's not the strongest weapon, but the most skilled hand wielding it that prevails on the battlefield.
