Working as intended.

You should have an advantage of fire first. And as a TR we have the same problem if we are taking fire first.

I am a beastly Vanu, yet here I am... NC :/ I feel like I've been forced into the circus with a bunch of dysfunctional monkeys running around in circles, confused and making loud noises.

Sometimes I'm really thinking about changing faction... It frustrates me when I see the state of NC on most servers.

I'm going to continue on, playing both relatively equally as I had thus far (at least as much as I did in the last two weeks in regards to play style) as long as I still enjoy the game. Both are BR 25 now with almost equal time played.

I may focus more on getting vehicle camped as infantry again, like I did in beta, but I hate being the mole in whack-a-mole. I may not though as I've conditioned myself to easy tank farming.

I was never much of a heavy assault person, although I used it almost exclusively in beta out of necessity and I WANTED to play infantry and really didn't like vehicles. It's just not very cert-friendly playing infantry as opposed to playing vehicle spammer in regards to exp and certs, and I got sick of being one-shotted.

Also, for the record, both have breached 1000 kills. I looked at my stats and the majority have come from vehicles, not like that is surprising. Tanks have garnered me the biggest share followed by esfs. I wish I could see play time per role and I could get good kills/role percentages. I'm sure tanks and esfs would be rather close as I've played tanks more.

Thats the problem right now. I know a ton of guys who would switch if they already hadn't dumped tons of time and money into an NC solider

I dunno why people whine so much, I played all 3 factions and did just as well on each of them, they all feel the same to me. All the weapons act the same, the vehicles act the same apart from the Magrider which has just as many disadvantages as it does advantages. There are differences in HA weapons like JH, Lasher and MCG but they all such and no one uses them so whocares?

On each character looking at my stats, my k/D ratio is between 2-3 on each of them, barely any differences. I noticed however as NC and Vanu I'm fighting TR most of the time and as TR I'm fighting Vanu most of the time. Kinda weird, but it's how the maps are designed, always seem to focus NC and Vanu against TR.

I've also noticed NC are the best organised usually, I find them always fighting in groups and it makes them very tough when I play my main a TR on Miller. I'm pretty sure they must have a major Outfit or something that is hundreds strong because most fights I always end up in the shit, probably why my stats suggest I fight the Vanu most the time, they always seem very unorganized and solo.

I wouldn't switch factions. I'm sure things will see-saw back and forth until the devs are satisfied. When that will happen, if ever? Who knows? Also, I'm just one person, my assessment could be way off from reality.

I'm just insanely curious, so I'm doing what I did in ps1. That's why I never join outfits after I left future crew as I bounced around so much.

It just its a ton of frustration by the NC. When the devs have admitted the NC is under powered it makes it even worse. The NC players don't want to be overpowered, we just want to be on par in the 1 v 1 gun fights

Infernalis · 2012-12-16, 10:35 AM

You sure you play on Miller EVILoHOMER? Because NC always have the least territory except at night when everyone is sleeping (2-3am). The VS have a ton of outfits (the "Vanu accord" which consist of serveral huge outift) and same for the TR with their alliance. And on very, very few servers does NC dominate.

Beerbeer · 2012-12-16, 10:40 AM

You want to know the stat difference that caught my eye? I died a lot less playing TR than NC. Which could mean two things maybe considering my play style:

1. My opponents as NC (i.e., TR) were a lot more lethal than NC were while playing TR.
2. I could get the hell out of dodge a lot easier in the prowler if things got hairy.

I'm calling BS unless you've got a link.

FreeSpeech · 2012-12-16, 11:33 AM

Essentially BeerBeer - proof that TR needs nerfing. I bet you'd feel the same if you'd tested out Vanu.

Beerbeer · 2012-12-16, 11:40 AM

I wouldn't call it proof, it's just my observations and I'm just one person.
