I broke down and bought a membership a week or so ago to help my fresh TR guy get certed up, my VS has a day left on his last booster so the double XP weekend is working out well for him. Parked a shielded Sunderer at The Crown and then went off to a winnable fight elsewhere, non-stop stream of 45xp ticks coming in for over forty minutes.

So battle buses are pretty good places to hang out when it's double exp weekend, especially when your driver is probably the best battle bus driver around: AAAALLLSSSOOOOO!!!!1  A PRO'S E-PROSE OPS COMING TO YOU LIVE TONIGHT (SUNDAY 8/24) AT 7PM EST, EMERALD NC, [GOON] BE THERE OR PROBABLY BE DECIDEDLY RHOMBOIDI'll be leading this motley crue of bodacious dudes and dudettes around as we recite whatever we came up with in this last week! Great stuff from last week, let's see who can dethrone the reigning poet laureate, AdmiralSnuggles! Hop in a GOON squad/ask for a platoon invite, everybody is welcome! If you're gunshy about reading aloud, no worries! As the MC I'm more than happy to read aloud anything sent to me that's at least vaguely legitimate or on topic! NO I WILL NOT READ GALTSE.CX ALOUD NO I DON'T CARE IF IT'S LIKE TOTALLY NC.TXT NONE OF US HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME Just post it here, in the GOON thread in private game servers (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3548237), or PM it to me if you're really shy or whatever! For this week's image I googled the phrase "CRYING EAGLE BEAUTIFUL FREEDOM" and decided this was the best way to express the glory that is prose ops nights in GOON:

Hit detection and server response time is so hosed right now, i jumped off a tower and it took 4 seconds for me to take fall damage. I'd put an entire clip of the MKV into someones chest and head and they would die while i reloaded.

I actually only get 150-200 ping normally and have since they started showing ping, the ping doesn't change at all its just random poo poo. Theres a video of an AC guy getting yelled at because some guy put 20 rounds into him on his screen.

I use big rear end M:TG playmats as mouse pads because they're so big. Drop mouse sensitivity to 0 and move my arm so much it looks like I'm pitching a baseball. Still have mouse pad room to spare

Make sure you spend your certs so that after an hour and a half you don't look at your score screen and wonder why you have only made 63 certs when you are going at 140k xp/hr.

I keep a standing reserve of 2k certs, after that everything is immediately spent so I don't have that problem.

I'm holding at 9500 certs so I'm ready when the Valkerie hits, but 140k-220k ( repair/spawn sundy) makes it tricky to maintain. Plus I'm basically just buying ammo upgrades, I already maxed out Triage, poo poo is getting intense.

Remember before the exp buffs, when a pro-tier player would run 20k/hr (and since this was early on Libs and Lolpodders would run 80k)? Man those days blew

So what's up with the VS always winning the events and locking whatever continents the events are for?

YellerBill posted:So what's up with the VS always winning the events and locking whatever continents the events are for? Nobody on the TR cares so they never hit more than like, 15% of the cont pop. The NC is burned out of doing their fighting for them while also fighting them off on their front so we don't care anymore either, and the locks are entirely pointless because most of the time it immediately unlocks as soon as it locks (because of pop), or another alert is going to end 10 minutes later that invalidates that one Personally I think it's funny that so many previously skilled VS have embraced the "pointless ghost capping" meta and left the rest of their horrible zerg to make the faction look awful everywhere else.

The reason why TR, and NC, don't fight on Hossin is because you can't drive 50 MBTs up to the point and win the base.

Xae posted:Or maybe VS are sick of fighting on the same continents for almost 2 years and want to play on the new one? You still totally can, it's just more viable to use Phoenix launchers. Have you seen what a stealth/AP/Enforcer Vanguard is capable of there? It's obscene, and don't even get me started on Battle Buses The continent excuse doesn't work anymore. Oftentimes all conts have queues. There are fights wherever you want them to be found on any continent, even at like 2am. If you guys want to claim half of the Indar map unopposed in the name of Glorious Nippon or whatever then okay fine, I'm not here to tell you what to spend your playtime doing. But "hey let's leave this awesome fight to fight against an entrenched, bored 48+ VS with a shitload of PPA Magriders at Rashnu Southern/SNA/whatever!" isn't a common sentiment for a good reason and isn't likely to catch fire.

I don't know if simple disagreement is "making GBS threads themselves in rage." I know it's hard to believe but people do have bad ideas sometimes! That said I saw the thread about the lead indicator (I assume that was it) and really like it, though I'm still hoping they'll move it to defense slot or even passive maybe. My only worry is making it really good like that would make it the shotgun of air - that is, inhibiting people from actually developing advanced skills needed to dogfight.
