A Tartan Tory posted:That was a hilarious double drop on Scarred Mesa, GOON, keep it up!  We need to collectively audiobook that fanfic; Like, a different person reads each chapter and then we stitch them together. PM me or post here if you got no PMs, I'm willing to handle the logistics and audio editing if there's enough interest. Also totally and completely unrelated, since Tartan Tory has no PMs for some reason, I saw this on imgur and thought of you~

That gal meta consisted of my gal (which is pimped out and got a lot of kills that run) and some stock ones to drop. If a more detailed analysis is desired, just skim this very thread for pictures and accounts of making retarded certs riding a GOON space whale. Or ask Steve! It's not like they're NC-only Dropped in, suppressed spawn, held the point, reinforcements came in, pushed off point when pops hit 60/40 against, call went out for help up north, pulled rocket Reavers as a "gently caress you and goodbye" to the air swarm the VS were obviously about to pull (we were right, lol rip in piss Libs), then took broken arch and 2 from the TR to push the VS into last place. PHX doubtless failed horribly WW1-style there but GOON's presence consisted of all of maybe 4 minutes I don't see what was so exceptional about that Scarred Mesa fight? Why not mention how pretty much the entire VS failed miserably at capping xroads despite hitting it suddenly with multiple platoons and taking the SCU down before a response could form? Or how they couldn't even secure A point despite the NC not having any spawns lol Every faction got dumber with the merger, large numbers and what have you. It's not like the VS have been blowing the world away and certainly the TR aren't

Oh agreed, I'm not saying the VS as a whole are any better or smarter; I just mentioned the Galaxy thing because it seems like half the gals I see are GOON, and GOON pulling a ton of gals seems to have rubbed off on the pubbies (Or maybe Waterson NC always did that?) because I often see flight-ceiling gals hovering over fights slowly trickling As for Scarred Mesa, it was mostly that NC tried like three times in a row to take it, with exactly the same results every time, and they probably only stopped trying because the continent got locked  VS couldn't hold Crossroads because instead of protecting points and the SCU, they all decided to camp the spawn instead, and NC just came in from Xenotech unopposed

I know my yell mannerisms are rubbing off on them but I've seen plenty of gal friends up in the skies with me from day 1. Generally they're pulled to just act as a flying spawn, a case in which you KNOW they're from Waterson NC because that sort of thing never went down on Mattherson. It barely does now and we've got PREY and QRY on our side along with every one of the zerg fits running a bunch of air. Call them noobs or whatever but it's drat useful to have at big fights because if you're RIGHT AT flight ceiling you often won't render, meaning it's just us gal jockeys up there complementing each others' gals  NNG definitely have the strangehold on battle gals for the VS. I see a single one running for V sometimes, and DA has one as well. Outside of those 3 I KNOW it's just a drop and ditch "be the last person to hit me!" gal. Except for SenorSteve of course, but at this point he has formed a weird symbiosis with his gal and has become an entity neither gal nor man edit - wait, hold on, did the VS lose that assault because they were camping a spawn after the SCU went down?

Y'know what, Emerald TR, is it too much to ask that you not jump right in front of my firing line to try and fail to steal all my kills? Or failing that, at least don't loving suck at it? If I've created a doorway of death for NC rushing past you're helping nothing walking directly in front of me to stare slack-jawed at all the NC that get past. At least they'll kill you instead of me, but gently caress you and your greed, only my greed is valid because I'm actually competent at this game. This is one reason I loving want ally collision on, even though I know that on the whole it's a bad idea.

I'd also like to toss another out there that seems to happen to me CONSTANTLY, which is when you've got a beautiful line on someone or a group of someones, then a giant piece of debris comes down out of NOWHERE and stops right in front of you, blocking your shot.

The one over the 4th wasn't planned, they just kinda did it (and own for doing so)

An alert popped earlier on Connery, an Esamir alert. NC held 92% territory. Needless to say we got 10k for our cont lock.  It was like the last 10 minutes of an alert right from the start! I joked with Higby about it and he spawned a Hossin territory alert for us.

Some of those were just people walking through me though, other than one time (Advert34  ) I think they were all still behind me on their screen. I also had this happen to me once, I was behind a pubbie, he started firing the direction opposite of me, and I flopped over dead; Lag just seemed absurdly bad today all throughout primetime.

My rocket actually flew past him out the door I was spamming, exploded in midair, and he flopped over dead while being obviously out of my way Server performance has been *really* bad for me the last couple of nights in big fights. I've had dozens of instances where I'm headshot chaining an enemy with my shield up and my bullets just stop registering, then I fall over dead about a second later. Or hostiles not rendering for me until I'm within 10m. I've also seen hit registration lag for up to 5 seconds at a time - I mag dumped into one guy then took cover to reload, only for all my bullets to register at the same time and instakill him  I've also noticed that client performance seems to go to poo poo within about an hour of starting a session - it's gotten bad enough that I have an autohotkey bind to terminate the process so I can log back in without having to rejoin my squad. I really wish they'd do another optimization pass on the client and server. It seems like a lot of the gains they made in December are completely gone after new changes.

Lag is terrible lately, for sure. Try crouching at the edge of a doorway or inside a window and just sort of watch what happens. If there's a spawn shield it's easier to notice, but it's really loving obvious when you just randomly slide or teleport around for no loving reason, and then you either can't stand up or get "stuck" next to the doorframe for a second. You'll also see people crouching in windows on their client half-phased into the wall and constantly flickering, which never happened before. Something is decidedly hosed and has been for a month or more. Maybe you're better off not leaving the spawn at all, like I haven't done yet on my newest character (even though I died once to a glitch, but rezzes  ). I'm not just a spawn room hero... I'm a spawn room god: Yes, apparently they actually put a symbol in there for infinite KDR.

On the topic of lag and desynch, does anybody have any insight on why base geometry appears in the world, floating in mid air, and is completely interactable with? Like, a single tile of base flooring will be floating around somewhere on Indar and if you really, really wanted to, you could land an ESF on it. Is it client-side? If it's actually server-side, that would be incredibly bizarre. It has zero tactical value. It'd be a giant target for a lib to swat down if anybody tried to do anything with it. edit: Thanks for the responses. It's hilariously amazing.

Its a bug that's been around a couple months now that happens when you switch a continent. For whatever reason, sometimes the assets from the previous continent you were on aren't unloaded and still exist in the gamespace. They only exist for your client, but if for instance you are in a gunship with another guy and he rams the floating thing, you will explode but on his screen you hit nothing and just died. Yes they know about the bug but haven't fixed it yet. Edit: beaten.

Crossposting with the GOKU thread, but I'm seriously considering going to SOE Live this year. Has anyone gone? Also, this panel sounds neat PM Player Panel: Inter-Outfit Operations in PS2 Our panel will discuss how VS on the Mattherson server do their large scale inter-outfit operations, ION (Inter-Outfit Operations Night) as seen and featured on FNO (Friday Night Op’s). The panel covers topics such as: the goals, objectives and methods of these operations, how each faction handles communications, leadership, public and inter-outfit relations.

Because it's client-side if you got lucky and loaded a hill over a base or something you could snipe from it while to everyone else you're just sniping from midair or something. I've also seen glitches lately with geometry just not loading at all on Hossin. Invisible walls, nonexistent floors, etc. There's also the glitch that kills you by dropping you under the world in VR, and I've also ended up under the world on Indar.

This is the best part about this base, just chilling at the vehicle term and watching people sail through that gap. A great reward for actually managing to cap it because gently caress whoever thought of putting a base that hard to take right next to a warpgate - pushing that lane back out from a warpgated position is kinda ridiculous
