Feedback needed on concern of possible Connery and Helos merger - Page 3

Neutral Calypso · 2013-04-17, 07:10 PM

A few more vanu would be nice. I confess, a few months ago I was considering switching to Vanu for the express purpose of getting a KICK EVERYONE'S ARSE outfit going because of how lacking Vanu were back then.

But it seems Vanu did not need my help, so now I desperately cling to what territory TR is able to get a hold of.

The Black and Red will persevere.

I hope this merge happens, but I'm afraid you Connerians are getting the short end of the stick (at least you VS ones). I've played Genudine since day one, and the VS outfits were ok. They held their own. After the merge with Helios, I noticed a huge gap in effectiveness and organization between the Genudine outfits and the Helios ones (read: most of the bigger Helios outfits are God-awful). What's worse, many of the old Genudine outfits dissolved over time (for what reason I can't say) and were absorbed by said Helios outfits, which are often little better than zergs with a clan tag.

Thanks for everyone replies. Honestly, I am still a little wary of ADK and its reputation of causing players to quit the game due to harrassment (see original video). I think though as a larger planetside community we can help police and prevent intentional harassment like this.

Other than that most of you guys replies have made me generally hopeful and look foward to the Helios + Connery Merger. After all we will get a lot of knew players.

Not trying to sound biased here, but connery is a very "old" and experienced server because it consists of nearly all of the old Markov outfits. The level of play on connery is extremely high. Even with low pops, the VS are good, and the TR really fight their brains out, even when outnumbered.

What connery needs though is new blood. More stuff to shoot at is always good. Especially on multiple continents.

Have to second Sardus, we definitely have a lot of old established PS1 Outfits here, and it makes it a nice base to grow on especially with all the Lattice and PS1 Improvements coming.

I'm keen as hell to get some new targets, but what I'm really keen to see is if there is a "skill difference"

I hear a lot about "that shit won't fly on <insert server name>" but I'm yet to see it actually happen.

What I'm hoping for, is a bunch of bunnies I can farm for sweet sweet certs.
What I actually want, is some stiff competition and a few more organised NC outfits to work with.

Get some skilled pilots to kill Snafu + Crew more and I'll be over the moon with joy...haha

Prefer you have other pilots as favorable victims. I am sensitive to being shot at, makes me all sad and stuff.

I am OK with a sad Snafu

I find it odd that others are the reverse in that they want to be with the "winning" side which is numerically superior. Vanu of Connery have shown time and again that you can be the least pop and still "win" a few too.

NC guys must get annoyed/bored showing up to bases just to find other NC guys already milling around.

Always outnumbered = more experience for the experienced few

I get more annoyed when NC has the sufficient numbers and they're just dicking around in a biolab/amp station without any form of adjacency while we're losing the rest of the continent. We had 40% of the cont yesterday during an Esamir alert and with two/four platoons of NC in Ymir and Elli.

But yes, showing up at a base with billions of TKing NC is annoying too.

As far as pop is concerned having more people is great and all, but at least NC wise we're kind of overdone on the whole infantry thing. What the NC needs is a dedicated outfit for air and I'm hoping some of the Helios boys will do that.

Good luck convincing people to fly against the new max abilities lol.

I am going to leave it at this and say.. Snafu you where right. That is all.

They said I was being mean when I brought it to light.

TR, you have the striker...you have the Lockdown burster Max....perhaps you would just like the keys to my Reaver, Lib and Gal ? haha

While I dislike the striker, after playing around with it and really getting to understand it by no means do I consider it OP against air anymore. The missiles travel comparitevley slow against your esf. They're fairly easy to dodge once you get used to them. That being said I can see why a lot of TR stick with their standard lock-in launchers. The addition of ZOE and Lock Down though has only more solidified the air as a place the NC was not meant to be though.

Not that I'm complaining, just one more thing I can blame my death on when snafu's mossi comes in from behind without so much as a reach around. :<

The thing is 666 doesnt.

I remember in the early few months, every TR outfit knew for fact.. Give the 666 a solid fight and they high tail it and warp to another continent, it was unbelievable easy to push back 2 platoons of 666 with 3 squads of troops..
