This thing can kill a spear turret in such a long range in mere seconds. Comparable to Lib tank buster except Libs have to dive dangerously close to effect so much damage to turrets.

3) And lastly, you add in the changes to vehicle prices, you have the TR the vehicle destroyer and vehicle stacked faction. They just destroy the enemy tanks/sundies/aircraft with strikers then park theirs on a hill where the other factions (esp the NC who has no long range capability) can't counter them.

In addition, you'll see swarms of mossies and Libs since enemy air has been cleared. With the enemy vehicles destroyed, it's easy for their Anti-infantry heavy machines to just park and dominate.

LMAO you hit it on the nose.

I wouldn't get too exited, this isn't the event itself it's just the pre-season - essentially a data gathering exercise.

Actually, the TR have the best Warpgate on every continent. That is a major contributing factor.

Luperza said in this thread that they were working on warpgate rotation.

My question is. Why does it seem like WG rotation stops when ever it gets back to how it was at launch and not when in any other setup?

Doesn't it only rotate when they do game updates? And since they stopped doing game updates it's just been a while since it's rotated... So, they are probably trying to get some sort of auto-rotatation going that's not tied to game updates. To make it fair for the WDS competition.

They can rotate in a GU or hotfix. My problem is that NC was stuck with SE Indar for the first 3 or so months after launch and each time we are back there the rotation seems to halt for awhile. I want to be in SW Indar again. Fuck the North WG, VS can have that one. The greens on Indar look great to me and I never get to see them for having to fight to get there.

Amerish is to rocky for my likes. Give me green rolling hills with forests and Im in hillbilly heaven. Something that isn't brown and has grass.

The warpgates should rotate every week. Right now with TR having the best WG on each cont, this event is becoming a joke.

Patience. It had to start somewhere and everyone will probably get their choice warpgates in time.

No. This is worst case scenerio, with TR having all the best warpgates at once. Sure, it will rotate, but no one will have all the best warpgates at the same time. In fact, with the way they currently rotate warpgates, the TR will have the best warpgates every 3 rotations. This is something that seriously needs to be fixed.

That would be ideal.

True. To add to your train of thought, the NC and VS would also have the three best WG's when it's their turn in the rotation series so in three weeks, each faction would have the benefit of the best warpgates. I'm surprised they awarded anything for this "Pre-season" anyway. I took it as being a test of the event to see what needs to be done to make it fair to all factions. Rotating WG's is a must but I don't see specific pattern rotation from week to week to be the solution.

Actually, that's not true. The NC and VS never get to have all three of the best. The current rotation system is 1 cont rotates 1 "click" counter-clockwise and the other two 1 click clockwise (or the other way around, I forget off top of head). We have not seen NC or VS with all 3 of best yet, so the current rotation never gives it to them.

There will be a rotation this week, let's hope it is done differently in the future.
