Empire choice on Emerald

keam02 · 2006-02-20, 10:09 PM

So I'm coming back...again. I need to know which empire on Emerald would be the best to join. I always played NC before, but I want to try something new. I know one of the factions I choose on Emerald (you can still have 2, right?) will probably be NC. So out of Vanu and TR, which of the two is most populated/powerful/fun. I like being a cloaker, btw, and hardly ever a pilot of anything.

VS is always more fun then TR. Less whining about weapons

Of course, if your main is an NC, you never get to whine about weapons.

If you want a challenge play TR

VS = easy mode, just ditch all your initial certs and get Medium and Heavy Assault, and then go spam the crap out of everyone with a Lasher. Don't worry about friendly fire because it doesn't injure friendlies like every other weapon.

TR = game on "Hard" mode.

You know, I was honestly thinking TR. I've never actually played TR, believe it or not. I started in beta, played through retail for about a year, quit, came back, played for another 6 months, but I still havent stepped into the game as TR except to play as the AV Max when it was horribly overpowered in beta. "Hard" mode sounds good to me. Hopefully I can find an outfit or make a few friends so we can actually use strats.

Black Widow Company, nuff said. We use variants of "real-life" SWAT, infantry, and small-unit (aka spec-ops) tactics in Planetside.

In my grand experience in this matter (LOL, yea right... 4 days of playing) I've managed to get 3 toons up to BR 5.. One from each Empire (on Emerald). Even joined an outfit in the NC Empire.

But to be honest, TR is by far the most interesting. Go Cert yourself in either Heavy weapons or go Uni-Max (Certified in all 3)... Two words, Rockn' Roll!

I personally use the Max armors... I just wish people would stop running into my line of fire (800 Grief points in 4 hours...Sheesh, LOL) and let the bullets do their job.

Go TL... It's the only way

VS! If you play TR you get the easiest MA in the game. If you play TR make sure its not on emerald. And besides, if you play VS you get to shoot hamma up all you want! Actually most of the PSU staff.

Though better yet you could quit the game. You'd never notice!

Hamma · 2006-02-22, 10:15 AM

Quit the game he's barely started

I quite enjoy it when I see killspam that hamma has dropped onto yet another tower I CEed
