edit - excellent TR night guys, sorry for the slow start as it took me an embarassing amount of time to realize that my Mumble was broken as apparently I could speak and you could hear me, but I couldn't hear any of you nor even see you keying up :sigh:

VCO ops and Vanguard firing lines aren't very fun from the other side, but TORQs and CARVs and lockdown AP Prowlers are. Sunrise, sunset!

You want a real autist? Here is the real deal.

54K kills in a loving heat prowler. 16K in a MAX.

DA should run some kind of penalty stat if they came from Waterson because god drat. I can only imagine the farm on that server looking at various waterson player stats.

Oh man, this dude used to get pissed at my pilot and I back in the Waterson days cause we'd fly in and kill everything on him. He's pretty mediocre and thinks he's awesome.

I'm completely ok with the resource changes as long as Sundy walkers don't get nerfed. Honestly the only real problem is the lack of vertical depression but whatevs.

Well, if you had 40 grenades stockpiled you're still pulling reserves from that (mouse over the grenade on the loadout screen, you'll see how many you have in reserve). Until you use those up, they're free!

I earned like 2k resources over 2 hours tonight, I'm bad at spending them.

Although I was playing engie for most of it and not using sticky grenade bando, so that explains a bit.

I really like directives as a way to focus on playing a particular class though.

How did I miss this? ZAPS, who I've never once seen attacking a base in any context or even defending one without considerable advantages, calling people out about command chat. I can't confirm this first hand, but I'm going to just guess that they don't have much of a presence in command chat either. Apparently the Waterson VS really dislike GOKU in general and Desi in particular. Why has still not been elaborated on as far as I can tell.

http://www.reddit.com/r/EmeraldPS2/comments/2chopx/dear_ssgo/

That whole thread is pretty much why I have to send GOON against the TR to find a good fight that doesn't immediately dissolve as soon as we do something easy to recover from, like cutting off and killing only their forward force and reclaiming the point.

Had some okay VS fights as TR tonight on Amerish but didn't get to enjoy the whole "Kill infantry -> kill Scythes -> kill Magriders" cycle because K0TH was abusing the hell out of lockdown Bursters and scared everybody off :( The real prize were the VCO fights which were a lot of fun, until a big chunk of the TR at the fight left without uttering so much as a word and we got overwhelmed all of a sudden :argh:

VS Emerald command chat is far too quiet, but I hardly think that's a side effect of not needing to use it. I'm convinced that GOKU puts the most traffic through it, which is a problem because it means that cooperation in the faction has been in decline.
Can't say for sure though. It's not like I put actual research into it. :shrug:

ZAPS calling out anyone at all, let alone former Waterson leaders is funny as hell. Sure Kortius is mostly self serving and Galgimp isn't the greatest leader but at least they did SOMETHING to try and organize the pubbie masses. Of all the Waterson outfits ZAPS are probably least qualified to make that sort of criticism.

CFAR's ok, but sometimes they don't recognize when a farm goes sour. Sort of like when a biolab fight becomes stale.
Too often, they'll be lingering on the border between territories inside their repair sundies waiting for stragglers to overextend instead of actually farming or pushing a base to help create a farming situation.

They're like a flowing version of the standard lumifiber if that one reddit video was accurate. It's pretty subtle and you'll only notice it when you're right next to the vehicle.

Oh god. I pulled a dual walker sundy earlier to refill our AP prowlers that were murdering all the vehicles at Quartz Ridge, get in seat 3 to shoot something, get out to repair and ..... boing, 300m into Quartz Ridge proper. I should put safe fall on all my driving loadouts until they fix this.

They should fix the bug but keep similar functionality in sunderers. APCs in Battlefield 2142 had seats that could launch you into the air in order to get on top of buildings and stuff, Sunderers should have something similar.

drat that is some low effort poo poo there. The NC one just looks like low graphics settings lumi. They should have made them cover larger portions of the vehicles or something cool like change colours when you toggle them on/off. Higby should be ashamed of those.

I'm pretty sure this was the case in 2142. You could from the Titan-launched pods at least. They should've made *every* pod launch like they did while they were near a titan. Launch a good two hundred feet up in a maneuverable drop pod.

Try using things that frustrate people. Mines, shotguns, bolt actions, rockets. Also, be an intolerable shitter in yell after you cheese people to death "get good lovely" works pretty well after you rocket primary them.

If you're using an AC/20, you only need to hit the target once. If the target's still standing, you oughta be somewhere else anyway.

What this game need is to put AMS on Galaxies, remove the lanes idea (that create a lot of stagnation in the game) and give a flametrower to max.

I played yesterday, and in 5 hours, I only defended one place, in-game days passed, and nobody conquered the enemy base in front of our base, nor they our base.

If you played in beta/early in PS2's life you'd have had all these things. Galaxies did have AMS for a while, but it turns out having a flying, deployable vehicle meant everyone just parked it on a cliff and dumped mans into fights and it was awful. The lattice system (aka lanes) was added because there was no direction to fights or the map in general, aka awful. And finally, MAXes did have flamethrowers but they weren't effective weapons and caused people to have all sorts of graphical slowdown and issues, and SOE was never able to fix it so they were removed.
