Feedback needed on concern of possible Connery and Helos merger

[EVILPIG]

I am shamed by the misuse of "their".

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

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. :<

I think the late hit bug doesn't register to the missile handler for some reason. But they are still occuring along with the stupid missile tracking abilities. I think if they fixed the bugs the stryker may not be as effective as once perceived but who knows.

And so the dominance of Vanu begins... 0.0

TR, we needa regroup and get the Alliance mobilized. I'm not seeing Auraxis turned purple.

I wouldn't be to worried about terrirtory control at the moment. We are still in the newly wed phase between Connery and Helios and there is much killing to be had. Give it another week or so and the territory grab game will probably get back on track.

Ok, I know this is REALLY late, but I just found out about this thread.

I am Energyone, the guy that made the video the subject is about.

I am happy to say that you all were correct; Connery was a breath of fresh air after the merger. NC still seem to have a good pop but it isn't nearly as bad as the rest of us thought it would be, thank god.

The TR got a much-needed boost and depending on the time of day it seems a bit more balanced across the 3 empires.

Regarding 3KDC - yes, we had proof in black and white that many of them boosted and many of them kept remaking accounts used for hacking. Thankfully you almost never see any online after all the bans and the new Chinese servers kicking in.
