Purple Valour [EU]

Mongo · 2012-06-21, 06:48 AM

Hi Ladies and Gents!

This is in reality a call to arms for EX Purple Valour players from PS1 Werner, but fresh faces are welcome too.

If there are any of you about, or are actively looking for us, head over to www.valourgaming.com and register there, as we will be using it as a platform to relaunch the outfit.

It's predominantly used by the community for multiple games now, but it's time for the old guard to come out the wood work!

For new people looking for a organised outfit, we are a mature gaming guild that likes a bit of banter (who doesnt?) and will be looking to resume our PS1 antics and tactics, why not come over to the darkside!

Region: Europe
Gameplay Style: Drop Ship Specialists + Random Events.

History
The gaming community has been around in some shape or form since 1998 with our first massively multiplayer game being Ultima Online slowly forming into cohesiveness in planetside 1 as were www.valourgaming.com inherited it’s name and following on into other games such as WoW and WAR many many others as “The Valour Legion”. But now it comes full circle and we find ourselves mobilising for for Planetside again.

Veterans will know us as Purple Valour and will know our mettle but this is a new game regardless and we have much to prove and live upto, with a few of the oldschool vets and commanders from Planetside 1 in our ranks this seems inevitable.

About Us
In Brief, we are a mature English speaking community some of us are old farts now given that we have been around for 14 years now. Most of us are in full time jobs and game as a hobby or relaxation after a hard day at work so there is inevitably a bit of banter going on, but when the **** hits the fan we know when to put our gamer hats on. We aim to have fun but to do it in style and with skill (we may be old but that doesn’t mean we are ****). We also very friendly and welcoming to new players so we aim to make you feel right at home, like the bar cheers were everybody knows your name.

Who we are looking for
We want to invite mature laid back English speakers from Europe, who do not mind using vent. A sense of humour and a friendly attitude are most welcome and will serve you well in surviving among us until we can corrupt you to our evil ways. As mature Male and Female gamers with families and kids we understand that you cant play 24 hours a day unless you get divorced or you get made redundant then you can join up with the students and other dolies who will be playing while the tax paying men and women of the community fund you! Ahem..! If you want Banter and Fun while still being competitive you know were to come.
We are currently reforming for PS2, we are looking for everything top down:

Officers (outfit management)
Commanders (In Field Command)
Pilots/Auxiliaries (Gal Pilots Etc)
Fighter Pilots (Air Superiorty and Bombers)
Covert Ops Players (Cloaker Brigade - providing Intel, Sniping and Ambush etc)
And as always Cannon Fod……er I mean Commando’s (Jumping out of working planes into the Maw of Hell)

Outfit Style
As to outfit style the original outfit were dropship specialists, which is basically akin stylewise to the Paratroopers or Special Forces but we operated in larger numbers. We were the go to guys in the Vanu Sov for dropping into extremely difficult situations and were expected to come out on top, from gen room holds against massive numbers to cracking defenses the zerg couldn’t push. With PS2 we will need to branch out into other sections so as well as the Galaxy/Dropper Combo, we are looking for people to fill additional roles - Fighter Cover, Covert Ops etc who can work iin conjunction with general ops or free roaming!

While this was our bread and butter and also the most fun (imho) we will regularly mix it up with events every week were we would for example all armour up and have everyone running around in tanks or equally swarms of fighters and duke it out in the sky.

If you match the type of player we want and the playstyle appeals to you, then why not give us a whirl until you find something better.

The world of Auraxis needs more purple

Played with Purple Valor back in the old Werner days. Oh the memories of terrible hotdrops and hilarious magrider columns! Most fun I think I have ever had in an MMO.

Looking forward to hopefully fighting with you all again in PS2! ♥

I remember a huge stalemate with the TR for a few hours at this bridge battle with a tower next to it and we got called in by the outfit alliance to break it so we could move onto the base.

So we organised a triple Galaxy Drop on it, with a few Mosies and reavers in support to pull the air cover away before we dropped out the galaxies. We all bailed out much to the excitement of the vanu zerg and the commentary in global praising our skill and coordination. Around 30 of us gathered on the rooftop before dropping down to open the door and hack the control console.

This was the point when one of the galaxy pilots who was new to flying, I still remember the name - Herbs, had bailed out of his galaxy with zero acceleration. So instead of it slowly crashing into the distance tree's it dropped like a brick... right on top of us and wiped everyone out. Fun times ^^ Especially on Teamspeak after that

Its good to see the old team is back!

GeneralGenital · 2012-08-12, 10:11 AM

Holy shit, Purple Valour! It's been years. Oldtimer TR here. Had to register just to say hello again. You guys were some crazy strategic fucks. I remember calling on voicechat "damn its purple valour" many a times! If you guys are re mobilizing I might jump ship and join you.

Best of Luck from the Long Forgotten Soldiers

Mongo · 2012-08-15, 04:42 AM

Cheers bud! Always good to get props/hugs from other respected outfits we used to playalong side!

Although Im pretty sure we will be working together again come release, fingers crossed there will be another Werner type outfit coalition going on again!

Shinjorai · 2012-08-15, 06:10 AM

Greetings from a fellow VS outfit. Just wanted to say hello and best of luck to you guys getting your outfit back up and running.

Karma · 2012-08-18, 07:26 PM

Good to see you guys around again for PS2! You are one outfit that I remember back from the Werner days. Very organised & great fun to play with.

I hope the word ‘Purple’ will still be in the name even though you have evolved since the original PS!

Mongo · 2012-08-19, 03:56 AM

Yeah I think we are sticking with the English-tised version IE Purple Valour not Valor :P

We got history in the game and people remember us so it's making sense to stick to tradition!

Definitely! It would be a shame to let that fierce rep go to waste.

Updated the Original recruitment post, given my current understanding of how the outfit will work and game mechanics seen outside of Beta/NDA (obviously) :E

SparkiiJaxx · 2012-08-22, 06:17 PM

Signed up to your forums guys! Just need activation ;D
I'm definitely feeling flying with you guys! I'm a very experienced BF3 Pilot for both transport and attack helis as well as the jets. I've not played PS1 but I have a good feeling that within my first hour of play I'd get to grips with the scythe (personal favourite from what I've seen) and maybe some of the other aircraft!

So excited for this game it's unbelievable :')
I got a Twitter key so I won't be playing for a couple weeks sadly </3
