Why would the VS have to fight against hordes of VS MAXes?

The amount of Falcons and Scatmaxes I see running to gens during a farm is overwhelming. I've never seen such a problem from the TR though.

This is what kills me. NC and TR cooperating on an epic scale to boot the VS and yet they still complain that it's not fair. VS got owned because the NC and NC refused to attack each other. At one point I died on the rooftop of Atar and had a great view of the courtyard and watched in wonder as TR and NC shelled the doors together. Sure there were a few that killed each other but for the most part it was a team effort to get rid of the VS.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I actually had a lot of fun. The OP just really made me laugh. Hell the event started while they were still pulling in VS and Brewko did the /tell me thing for the NC as well with the TR having the largest pop.

LMAO you also have the Jackhammer. We wouldn't need so many MAXs if we had that.

Instead we have the orb gun (It doesn't really lash, so you can't call it the Lasher. If anything, it gives people around it a static shock).

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

I'm with you Effective (although AT MAX crashes are more a danger to themselves than anything else). It was even fun defending Atar against two different factions. But the fun stopped when it was clear that there was no Red kills Blue or Blue kills Red spam going on. I would have been content with defending Atar until we got kicked off by Brewko. 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.

I was more pissed over the fact that the TR had 42%, NC had 29%, and VS had 29% for a decent chunk of time, then it started to even out and the NC started wooping ass. I left right after Yazata fell to the TR though.

That was quite ridiculous. It wasn't resolved for a long time either. I don't think anyone ever got up to the pop TR had after that.

Complain about the double team all you want, but that's what you get when you don't play by the rules... if you're getting transported to a base, then walk over to your starting point.

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 ...

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'.

We told Brewko that we had people being summoned to Atar. He was too busy getting people onto Oshur to deal with it. Hell, they were still summoning in VS after it started.

If this really is the reason TR and NC double teamed us, then it's rather sad. Or just confirms that everyone know the VS are superior.

A 3 min head start in a 5 hour event isn't really something to get upset about.

Aldman · 2012-07-07, 07:00 PM

Well, the server has crashed, so not much left to complain about now

Snipefrag · 2012-07-07, 07:01 PM

Why when an empire gets double teamed does it always have to be some secret alliance? It was our strategy to leave the NC alone and focus on getting VS off cont.. In a game with three sides that's a legitimate tactic, we positioned ourselves on the cont to make this possible.

Its called tactics.

PrISM · 2012-07-07, 07:01 PM

The server crashed; SOE won the event.

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.

Couldn't agree more, it's sad when people cheat, get what they have coming, and then the gms fuck it up

Snowfake · 2012-07-07, 07:04 PM

What did you think would happen if you guys were in mossies mowing us down before we were half way out the warpgate!
