You also need to understand their play time, take vonic for example. Hes got loving way more time in this game then you and his game looks like poo poo because its entirely geared towards making him kill you before you kill him. Hes not inherently better then you its just your not putting as much dedication into killing him as hes putting into killing you. Yes they literally do have revenge builds that they will pull out if you keep killing them, if good players appear they will all swap to NW5 HA's with whatever is the most crazy 1v1 weapon they have.

Be loving glad you dont have to face them when they play on NC because then the cyclone comes out and you need to just redeploy because unless their running in a straight line towards you its loving over.

Okay, Emerald TR's new GOON refuge for people playing TR more than weekly is up. HANK HILL APPRECIATION STATION [K0TH] is now accepting applications. Mention that you are a goon in your app or just ask someone (all can invite)

I wouldn't mind playing a bit more TR outside of prime so this should be fun.

It might be because I want more EU players playing at EU times in my squad or something! Or that I haven't thought much about GOON in about 4 months. Also I said most, not all, because I assumed you would want to advertise yourselves as well.

Feel free to call me a clown for trying to recruit EU refugees though, I am well aware GOON exists, no need to be passive aggressive about me in a thread I barely read, when I just want more dudes on at times I am.

I believe Vargs is talking about how Planetside is free to play and to just try it. However, the free to play Battlefield is simply called Battlefiend Play4Free, which I have never tried before.

If you're a PS1 vet that managed to really enjoy it despite so many shortcomings, this game is one of the few (only?) games that will trigger those same feelings. Were you in an ouftit on PS1? What server?

The TTK and pacing is a lot faster than PS1, but the scale, mix of (often lopsided) small/large fights, and numerous ways to have fun or become an uber :spergin: still remain. Factions still find irrational hate for each other, and make over-emotionally charged claims on weapons balance.

Best of all, it is free/fun to play (starter guns are very viable) without any $$$ being thrown out. There are also several goon outfits that will take you in and help you get started, or if you hate goons, plenty of other ones out there.

Play with an outfit though (preferably a "good" one), it makes for the best experience, and they can help you through the :soe: quirks that make this seem like a small production indie beta kickstarter game at times.

Yes PS2 is a free battlefield, i agree.

There are some walls of stupid stopping whole sale importing of PS1 poo poo into PS2--i'm talking the good stuff that can be properly translated in. Flexible classes structures and an inventory like loadout system would be loving amazing.

I'd love to see ESF's come with 2 roles, a heavy fighter and an interceptor along with some flight model changes. Relegate the lib to an assault transport and make the new heavy fighter into the premier ground attack craft.

I highly disagree with the idea of a inventory/loadout system being loving amazing. It sounds cumbersome, even if the UI is intuitive. It takes away from the idea of "just shoot stuff." The meta and depth should come into play with things like (you mentioned it) flexible class structures, resource revamp, ANTS and logistics.

Are they still looking at and trying to implement limited base resources/resupplies? I look foward to the resource/ANT update. I can't wait for GOKU to save a base by driving a giant truck convoy of fresh nanites into it screaming in yell about how they brought fresh spandex. :allears:

Looks like only Lightnings and Prowlers had their HE shells buffed vs. tanks. Everyone else merely got a reload buff on HE for faster shelling to make up for the loss of splash radius.

Honestly the whole tank rebalance thing makes no real sense. I'm all for the nerfing of Rocket Primaries against infantry if these changes make it off PTS.

The tears in that thread are delicious. So much crying about "tank vs tank" nerfs. You know because that's definitely what any of these weapons are primarily used for.

edit: In case I wasn't clear I was being sarcastic. Weapons on tanks that are meant to fight tanks shouldn't have any splash damage on them. The balance around being able to splash non primary targets and perform defined roles will always make this impossible to please players because the farmers and the actual tank v tank autists are intermingled into the same screaming child.

Yes, I do think the AP nerf is another symptom of Rotary Syndrome. They're going to make the weapon that is designed to hard counter farming vehicles only marginally useful over the all rounder. Sure, you can farm infantry with an AP tank but your goal usually pulling an AP tank isn't to farm infantry.

And for those who don't know what Rotary Syndrome is, ESF rotaries used to be the best anti-fighter gun. Now they're borderline useless, except the Reaver's... which still isn't that great.
