I would like to say thank you for running the event Brewko, I really enjoyed it.

To the posters and haters, please think before you type - people went out of their way to make this happen, that needs to be commended not condoned

Thanks to the devs and all who organized this event, and for the nice "loser commendation"

Afraid this isn't true, VS started at Atar and hacked it right away, as well as hacking out mozzies to go farm TR and NC who had to run from a WG to the nearest base. Check the other thread with the pic of the starting map.

Further to that, a Drop ship centre with constantly filling NTU is the easiest thing to defend in a 3way. NC and TR were fighting in CY, TR managed to sneak a router pad in which you should have defended.

There was no agreement between NC and TR. But when you start the event with 4 hacks running when NC have 1 and TR have 0, chances are you become the target.

Doesn't matter though. Crappy network/server pwned all 3 empires.

Just curious there bud, where was that router pad placed? I don't suppose it was placed inside the boxes was it?

Honestly curious. I didn't see it anywhere down there, though I could have missed it. If it was 'inappropriately' placed, I don't care too much since every empire seems to have some dick who's willing to do it, but I certainly wouldn't be bragging about winning that way.

lol well the vs got spanked because they got help from brewko, many times... like i said if it was fair then the tr and the nc wouldnt have whipped that ass so hard.......

and i am very grateful that brewko went out of his way on a weekend to do this event... dont get me wrong. but if i knew it was a vs event i would have let someone else have my spot.

fyi the tr pop got high because we took out the atar gen and the vs had no spawn point.they got the boot and tr came in.

USCNACHO · 2012-07-07, 07:34 PM

even if the server didnt go down the TR would have won they played well and instead of crying about it just try harder in the next event if you haven't seen , the TR have won almost every event so think about that

"Maybe if we deny the collaboration enough, it will make it true! While we're at it, let's blame the server because we got farmed hardcore."

You guys did succeed in moving the map though, it got a lot redder!

Snorf · 2012-07-07, 07:38 PM

Brewko only "helped" us once. But as I'm finding out all empires had issues with summoning into bases. The VS were summoned in last and told to stay where we were or else we'd get booted back to sanc. We wouldn't even have had time to run to the wg. I got summoned in and less than a minute later the even started. And other than those that grabbed aircav to mow down NC and TR running to their bases, I don't see why a 5 min head start would make you guys so butthurt.

We weren't "helped" with the NTU's because nanites were irrelevant in this event. So if you were waiting on the base to drain then you had no idea what was going on.

Overall, it was a fun event. I'm glad we were able to go back to Oshur one last time.

legit, there was no real communication. Think of it like this: The VS pissed both empires off. We didn't need to communicate, we both wanted the same thing.

if thats the case, ohwell. still you got a headstart enough to piss everyone off.

doesn't change that it was enough to anger everyone else.

I think the obvious lesson of this is to never organize community events, since everyone will just get pissed (especially the winners, apparently).

WiteBeam · 2012-07-07, 08:47 PM

I just wish the server hadn't gone out like it did toward the end. TR had a good lead on us, but by the time the server came back up, it was a lost battle because NC were almost out popped by triple TR.
And our last base went green at the end. What the hell CSRs?

Nice way to kick off beta. Lol

seqqura · 2012-07-07, 09:10 PM

for the record for the person who asked: VS were about 75 under pop lock at 25 mins, and 25 under at 40 mins. I left soon after so no idea later on.

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.

The event duration was planned for 5-6 hours. Not everyone who wanted to participate could make it at the designated start time, but there are a lot of people who want a chance to go to Old Oshur one last time. He was trying to give those people a chance to go. In the end the TR "won" the event. But really, why do you even care at all about a lame contest in a dead game?

There are the same amount of MAX's on all three empires since BR40. You're just being an idiot. It's good to know not everything changes.

I waited in warpgate. Saw NC hack in progress. Saw hack removed and Brewko anounced that anyone outside of the warpgates would forfeit their slot in the event.

You weren't supposed to have any vehicles in the warpgate so when the earthquake happened you had to run to your bases for the hack.

VS had 4 bases hacked before I even reached one. So I recalled and played with the rest of my outfit on normal Planetside, had lots of fun.

Yup. I was in a MAX (the quickest way to get around with a vehicle)

By the time I got to the first base, that tech in the north, the VS had 4 hacks and the NC had two.

The TR were the only empire to follow the rules.
