I remember seeing a vid of them doing a pretty coordinated hold without sundy support. They seemed to have their poo poo together and I was looking forward to fighting against them after the merge but I've only seen a single guy rocking the tag. I was recruited to NUC as a pilot/gunner for Bravo Squad (Air) back in January. About a month after I started playing with them, a bunch of the higher-ups decided they were tired of waiting for MLG, and the leader was in contact with people at both MLG and SOE and heard from them all that neither organization really wanted to work with the other, and competitive 48's were never going to become a thing. At this point, a bunch of the existing guys quit, a handful hung around and we formed up two 12-man groups for Comm Clash 24's and for normal ops. The new organizer was not one of the old original NUC guys, but had permission to put together a new "team" and to try to lead and keep the name going. It was decided that he wasn't doing a good enough job and the people he recruited weren't good enough (something I agree with in a few cases) and they didn't want the NUC name ruined by the new team that "could never win". That group of people wanted to reform into a new 12-man outfit, so the people who were kicked from NUC, and a few of us from LIBZ (NUC's farm-fit, lower BR NUC chars + friends) jumped over as well. DD12 was not as good as NUC was but was still a very strong 12-man group. Myself and my Lib pilot from NUC/LIBZ jumped ship a while back and now joined SV0 since the merger. NUC's strength was in more than just having some of the best infantry players in the game, it was in their extreme level of organization, perfect squad comp, etc. Everyone knew exactly what to do and where to be, and did their job well. Having a full of platoon of very good players in this manner is absolutely brutal to fight against. Alpha was Infantry powerhouses, Bravo was Pilots (who were all good infantry, as well), Charlie was the mixed squad of infantry/tanks/whatever is needed, Delta was the infantry overflow. It would have been incredibly fun to be able to fight against NUC in their prime. o muerte posted:They basically quit to play other games when SOE didn't get their poo poo together to support MLG.

Yep, there was one point in particular that we redeployed into that was one of those lovely bases that just has a huge boring open warehouse witha point in the open. Their whole population was in the warehouse with a deployed sunderer right next to the point. We had around 15-20 seconds left before the base flipped, but we did a huge push, cleared them off the point just as it was about to flip and did our yell thing. dead silence that time

I only yell in command chat when retards try to take lead, GUYS LETS TAKE ALLATUM DURING A GLOBAL BIO LAB ALERT! I just sit there repeating why its a horrible idea over and over again until they mute me for being to sensible. They also get mad at me because people like to pretend their not in command chat so when i'm yelling at NTMR/GOTR for attacking allatum everyone yells at me for yelling at them because their not in command chat as if they dont have a loving squad up. I imagine NUC would be just like fighting DA unless they managed to pull greater numbers--from their videos it just seemed like they had smart players and pulled a ton of maxes. Say what you like about DA but atleast they dont do their holds with a squad of maxes because anyone can pull 3 squads of maxes and hold off twice their number in infantry.

Do tank mines remain even if I switch away from Engineer? I assumed not but I got a kill with them a couple seconds after respawning as a Medic. If I'm wrong it'd be nice to get confirmation because I'd use them a hell of a lot more if I could go back to playing Medic after placing them.

Rookersh posted:Why are all the milsperg US Military types on the TR anyway? You'd think they'd be drawn to the glorious 'Murrica NC offers. It's because milspergs are actual fascists deep down. Fascism pretty much goes hand in hand with military fantasy because it's all about beating down the infinite hordes of inferiors with absolute obedience and lack of individuality. Note that millspergs don't by any means have to overlap with actual military folks.

VS had 40% pop on the server, NC had about 35%. Generally TR can put up a fight on Woodman but today noone showed up  We just gave up and BTW, is the double XP-weekend still on?

I don't like talking too much about NUC in theoretical terms because it's just.. well.. theoretical, but I can at least be honest. Honestly, NUC was the best Planetside outfit I've ever been a part of. Reminds me of Hostile Takeover in Planetside 1 during its prime. No one really has to be told anything except a target and everyone just does what needs to be done. Comms in infantry squads (I was a Charlie passive medic) are terse and tight and flowing with information. Not everyone would be able to operate in a squad with comms the way we used them. Delta was even more talkative. I don't know how DA runs their live ops, but NUC was a brutal powerhouse. We didn't just attack with infantry, we attacked with everything and NUC showed no mercy, which is why we used to get a lot of flack from people. NUC had the best combined arms bar none.

Meanwhile the new Waterson players just don't seem to understand the /yell culture GOKU created and will only rise to the bait if they're wining. Losing? Silence. Winning with 2/3 of the pop in the hex "Yeah, we dunked you GOKU, what'chu gonna do?" even as we're redeploying to get in behind them and steal another base out from behind them in order to confuse their zerg.

 TOTALI-TERRAN TUESDAYS!FACTION: TR [K0TH] PLATOON LEAD: WEARY THEME: TRUTH! UNITY! JUSTICE! BROTHERLY LOVE! /yell chat as a method of drawing attention to the TR arsenal, 100% of which is in desperate need of buffing! START TIME: 8PM This is officially going to be an every Tuesday at 8pm thing lead by myself (schedule permitting), to punctuate the semi-daily running of the TR outfit on my part and hopefully drum up enough interest in a full-time goon TR outfit or at least to get some more people playing with K0TH that the goons that do feel the need to play primarily TR aren't left out on an ice floe to die ALL ARE WELCOME! If you want to stay in LWTX/your other outfits but still run just ask for an invite or join the public squad if there is one. I'm going to set the outfit to auto-join so you guys don't need to wait for me to log in and accept you. It'll be an immediate thing now Horizontal Tree posted:EHF, I'm sitting on the [GOON] mumble cause I wanna talk to you, so if you read this hop in the airgoons channel. In now

Goddamn that peris barracks hold haha 9 seconds we woulda capped that loving horrible base but 70% NC and non stop shelling was a bitch. I still cant get over the fact that the corvus has loving 26 more rpm then the reaper yet 33 less damage. Why cant it be 167/600 or 167/550 with a 35 round mag? Playing VS medic with the terminus is loving RELOADING constantly, killed a HA reload, killed a medic reload because the second you dont loving reload is when your going to run dry. Give all VS guns .75 ADS and give the VS .75 ADS guns .85 ADS coupled with only short reloads, bam VS is mobility and fast reloads with low DPM.

Zierham posted:Yeah, it seems like the objective advice in the thread is not to play TR because there is no Goon outfit and Goon outfits promise to provide the kind of social interaction that we gently caress-ups apparently enjoy (based on us reading/posting in this here thread). The fact that BCP is a peice of loving poo poo and brought out the worst in other (Mattherson) TR is just a secondary reason. Whether there are or are not ANY decent-and-fun TR outfits since the merge is immaterial; they aren't Goons so they aren't the same, so while you might be able to make do as a TR you're missing out on at least something that GOKU and GOON provide. The problem: While you can find outfits across multiple factions and servers that are "good", there are approximately none on Emerald TR; Hopefully K0TH does well and sticks around, but it'll be the third (Fourth?) attempt at goon TR stuff.

Actually I debunked this last night. Well sorta, I didn't change from loadout 1 to 2, but I did equip the pouch, drop 4 mines, unequip the pouch and all 4 stayed on the ground. I wouldn't be surprised if changing the loadout and not just changing the suit slot and resupplying would make some mines despawn cause

There was a milsperg on Emerald VS a few days ago trying to run a pub platoon. Some British-sounding kid who was far too passive aggressive about their role as glorious leader, far too micromanagey, talking non-loving-stop to the point I had to mute them because it was uninformative white noise, giving positive reinforcement for a job well done when nobody was really doing a good job. It was all about people following his vague orders to feed his ego. He spent more time looking for people to kick from the platoon than playing the game. Fortunately that's not a regular experience. "Why aren't you in a real outfit?" I don't know. I play irregularly and I'm astonishingly curious about what the pub scene on every empire is like.

It's a shame TR wasn't doing it during the double XP weekend but today they dug their heels in and decided to defend a base no matter what during an alert. I was in my repair Sundy on a hill top with an ammo Sundy and two Magriders. Over maybe twenty minutes I got about 34 kills with my bulldog and the guys on the walkers between the two Sundies shot down two Galaxy, two Libs and maybe seven Mosquitoes which were flying over the base to shell our guys in it and not one of which ever took a signal shot at any of our vehicles....which were parked in the open, on the hill top.

So I suppose I should ask all these questions here then. - What's the actual difference between TROSS/Reaper? From the short trials I got, TROSS sounds better and has more ammo. I killed more people with the TROSS, but to be fair, I mainly rolled around in an empty area with the Reaper. Trying to make a decision for my long range gun. - Do I need to replace my Carnage for my shortrange fire from the hip gently caress you guys Biolab gun? Seems to still be reliable even after nerfs. Or is the TROSS so versatile it can handle both roles. - I'm thinking of leveling up an Engi/Sundy after I get most of the Medic stuff unlocked. Except I know nothing about playing as an Engi or what guns to focus on/what works at all. Or what I should focus on for the Sundy. Any real must haves like the grenade bando for the Medic? Does it even matter unlocking new guns for the Sundy? - As should be pretty obvious, I like to play Support in FPS games. I'll largely be a Medic/Engineer/Bus Driver for most of the time I'm playing Planetside. But sometimes I like to stop stressing out about helping people for a bit and just shoot things mindlessly. I tried Light Assault a bit, but the jump jets/low health just didn't do it for me. I tried Heavy Assault, but the shield just felt too weak, and I wasn't a big fan of the weapon recoil. One of my favorite things to do in Bad Company 2 was play as a shotgun/VSS recon. I'd rush in just like the Assault did, except before hand I'd throw out my balls so we'd know where all the bad guys were. I felt like I was helping out while also killing lots of people. I'm wondering if the Infiltrator in Planetside 2 could offer something similar. They have the recon darts, but honestly it doesn't seem like they help nearly as much as the balls did in Bad Company. On the other hand, if they have something similar to the VSS, that mixed with the Stalker Cloak/Nano Armor seems like it could be a funny mix. I'd just rather not start burning certs on it only for it to be a terrible idea, and for me to be useless outside of killing dudes.

If you're looking for the PS2 equivalent of the Shotgun Wookiee, LA is probably a better fit than Infiltrator. Infiltrator gets the lovely recon darts, temporary near invisibility, and can hack terminals, and can use sniper rifles and SMGs. Light Assault gets a jetpack and can use carbines and SMGs. And be a little C4 fairy.

Darts are fantastic to have out for your side and help more than you think. If I had to choose when defending a base I rather have a infil tossing out detection than a engie tossing down ammo 7 times out of 10 I run a Armistice + Nanoweave + Nano armour cloaking + Sensors dongs, EMP grenades & and regen lvl 3 as my go to infil slot and you can wreck people as good if not better than most heavies with a loadout like that, providing eyes for your team is just an added bonus. Giving infils more support options would be a good idea, hell giving every class more builds choices along the lines of the medics shield/regen swap out would be fun. -"EMC jammer" Deployable that replaces your darts but takes you of the map for the enemies darts & dongs - Maybe some sort of pad you stand on that you can deploy and recharge the class abilities of people standing on top of it (maybe this is more of a engie idea). - idk something, out of ideas.
