Waterson is feeling a tiny bit imbalanced.

I got them fighting the endless esf / liberator horde blues.

All 3 continents constantly capped and recapped.

The worst part about it is the herp derp leaders of masses call to fight VS instead of TR

I could spam orders channel with unhelpful advice too but I have some common sense.

time to roll burster max.

Rasgriz · 2012-12-21, 12:21 PM

We had 10+ at one point defending an outpost on Amerish but still got rofl stomped hard.

35 of us couldnt hold it for crap.

Burster max is about as unrewarding as you can get while playing.

Does it work scaring away air? Kind of? Does it kill much? No? Why play burster when you can play air with similar access restrictions (actually less) and get way more kills.

That's why you don't see many busters and 10x more air. And for those saying air should trump ground forgets the fact that neither has any access restrictions, meaning I can get air just as easily as a max suit. If air was rare, then yes, sounds reasonable.

Hence the reason for their rarity.

ya its bad when our outfit has to foucus fire 10 Burters just to take down a lib before it can fly away. We tried 10 skyguards at first and well lets just say we all wished we had our money back from that pos.

Given the design I'd say outposts aren't for holding, they're for rolling over.

Isn't Waterson "home" of TB's BRIT and Angry Joe's Angry Army, both TR? I mean, that would be the biggest imbalance factor there.

The only thing less rewarding than using dual bursters(besides a single burster) is trying to use a Hawk launcher.

I was just using the duel bursters today and I thought it worked quite well. Air was kept on it's toes.

But I 100% agree that the G2A rockets are so, so, so much worse. It simply isn't effective. Most the time it ends up not doing damage, but you MUST do damage when there is so much air.

I mean with the MAX an ESF will only get away from me severely damaged. I am also able to deal immediate damage compared to the 5 second lock-on then miss due to flare.

Well there is that...

...And the fact Terran-Republic.com has been trying to get the major Outfits on Waterson in contact with one-another!

I have a feeling the other two people in this empire war thing will be going to Waterson and hopefully that will start to even things out more.

I hope so. Creating this imbalance, and leaving it that way would be very irresponsible on SOE's part. I just wonder whether rotating leaders would be sufficient. I'd think the draw for new players would be front loaded and favor the initial servers

Send them where they are needed.

In TBs last PS2 video about the empire wars he talked about getting to fight off a Tobuscus raid. So that can be a clue to him being on the same server, but can't say as I don't follow him and a fast look still shows nothing on his channel about PS2. SeaNanners on the other hand finally posted a (minor) video saying that he is the going to do a livestream on 1-25-13 and that he is going to be the leader of the NC with a how to get his decal (a cat with a NC helmet) from twitter. He did not say anything past that (what server, outfit name, anything).

I understand that there is still a month till this event but we need information as to a few things. Mainly Outfit names and what servers they are on so that pups can stal--- I mean get to know the outfit members and fill the outfit up. That alone takes time, growing a rep takes even more.

Dual bursters are awesome. You just need to learn more and practise to get the best outta them.
