******************
Beta test journal week 5:
"Friday, the Vanu Sovereignty locked down the continent of Hossin, becoming the first Empire to do so. On Saturday, VS also locked down Forseral, while the Terran Republic locked down the continent of Oshur. The continental lock conditions had already passed our own internal testing. However, this was the first time that actual players were able to meet that goal."
*********************
Beta test journal week 3:
The epic battle of the week occurred in the central volcanic crater on the continent Searhus. The New Conglomerate had deployed two Advanced Mobile Stations in close proximity to the Pele Amp Station, which was controlled by the Vanu Sovereignty. A Vanu Sovereignty hacker equipped his stealth suit and slipped past the NC defenses to hack the more distant AMS. The VS now had a strategic vantage point behind the NC's main assault. The NC's well-planned assault on the Amp Station took an unexpected turn, as VS defenders engaged them from the front and, to the NC's surprise, hit them with an assault from behind as well. The battle raged, with the NC tirelessly defending their AMS so they could carry out their plan. Over time, the VS wore down their defenses and the NC threat was ended with the destruction of their AMS."

*******************

I get a feeling that it's always either VS or TR who wins the fights about bases or continents. I really hope they balance things out if it isn't. Either it's not balanced or those who plays in NC empire really suck. Let me join beta so I can have a feeling about the balancing issue before it's to late. Does TRs machine guns and VS laser beams deal to much damage? I know, with my own experience, it's much better to use a fast shooting machine gun than to shoot one bullet at a time with a slow shooting rate, when it's much lag. Better to hit once in a while and spray out lots of bullets, than never.


Weak you say?

The NC is well-balanced as compared to the other Empires. The beta journals focus on specific events and should not be considered representative of the entire week. Hopefully, they'll lock down a continent of their own soon just to prove it.

I'd just like to say that stupid people who pander for beta entries by giving false ultimatum/doom&gloom interpretations, combined with the arrogance that they are the only one who can fix a problem that they know nothing about really bug me.

That's all.

Maybe the NC players in the beta sucks? It is good that its still beta so the vanu and terran don't controll the planets when the real game starts.

I agree with you entirely Matuse.

[SpacemanSpiff]

Although I am racked with jealousy...
I have faith that the present beta-testers and especially the devs will balance everything out by the time it is officially released.

[The Apocalypse]

Just remember that what is going on in the beta testing is going to be different to what happens in the real thing because:

a)there are going to be more people in the real thing
b)there will be a multitude of player skill levels on all sides
c)this is just a test
d)if this does happen in the real thing something will probably be done about it

then again I could be wrong...

NC players don't suck.

We have less men than the other empires.

We have locked down MULTIPLE continents.

Terran Chainguns are too good.

edit: Wednesday devs had us fight so they could take screenshots for press. I led my squad to capping the base thanks to some incredible teamwork while another squad laid down some fire outside. We also had the least people.

The NC took Amerish and then held it against TR aggression for a number of hours this afternoon

[NoSurrender]

im not a NC fan in anyway but still just give them a chance some things take time like ugly girls getting hot(ps. it dont always happen but i can dream can't i?) and im jealous that the beta testers get 2 play but all i can say is have fun and make it the best it can be for the public and 2 the devs 2

[Grassy]

With the amount of people playing now, the majority of continents are usually empty, and it's easy to lock a continent. That beta log just shows that VS is a bunch of ninja hackers. VS has never even gotten close to locking down the continent where all the fighting is taking place, while NC has. TR probably has too

[CDaws]

The thing about the NC is they don't have good long range weapons like the TR and the VS in a fire fight. It could be the cone of fire not being tight enough to do some good damage at longer ranges. The NC have to be a little more planned and ambush there foes cause the NC firepower is up close and personal with the Jackhammer. A lot of the players are using the empire specific weapons over the common pool ones too so that could have a lot to do with it.
