It's officially Connery. You wouldn't want those players, would you?  Also, looks like it's time to nerf the Orion... and buff the CARV The salt is already well under way: http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/2fofvp/if_you_hear_bullshit_about_connery_losing_because/

How did Connery blow it? Air Spergin? Weak pushes? Freshmeat meandering?

Connery's airball in the early part of the match was dumb, and just sat in the sky while the bases they were hovering over got capped. That didn't help. Then they finally switched tactics, but by then it was too late. They had lost all momentum and ended up constantly putting out fires. Emerald kept Connery on the defensive for the entire second hour of the match, and Emerald never let up. At that point, the only hope was that Emerald would gently caress up and let Connery capitalize on that, but it never happened. They just couldn't keep up, and kept having to divide their forces to try to do something, which only led to ~~~~*REDEPLOYSIDE*~~~~ and they got smashed.

Connery also couldn't handle G2A lockons.

Nookovian-Red posted:How did Connery blow it? Connery had a lot of bad players a bad strategy and a bad force breakdown. I was playing on Connery while watching the match, there was a ton of Recursion and Future Crew on, they probably should have been at the match. They tunnel visioned on the center of the map to achieve their "objective", but it cost them a ton of bases. They had a huge gently caress off air swarm that was too focused on having Honorrrrabu Air to Air Combat instead of doing something useful. They also just got blind sided by Redeploy Side.

FWIW when the Recursion and Future Crew squads did show up they usually got dunked by Emerald squads. We could only hold out in 60-40 matchups for so long but there were a couple that we pulled off which really helped to break their momentum. The biggest contributor I think was Connery overcommitting to air early on, while VS pushed the north lane up to the amp station and held them at the south.

Nobody on Connery knows how to redeploy, they all hop in vehicles to ride from one place to the next in a giant blob of 1/2 tanks and ESFs, even to assault a Biolab.

After watching a good bit of that smash I've got to say that pretty much the only servers who could possibly end the Emerald undefeated* streak are either Miller or Emerald Miller is balls to the wall A2G and grenade/smoke spam and it's drat effective * - Waterson's "almost wholly defeated" streak was expunged with the Merger so only the canon server remains

Sounds like Connery alright. "We're wasting time just sitting here for it to finish capping, everybody roll out! Wait what the gently caress I thought we just took that base god damnit" over and over again forever.

Miller got poo poo on by Mattherson already. Depending on which team we sent Miller would get poo poo on again.

Fun fact of the day: PHX placed #16 in kills for the whole match. Only 6 outfits from Connery managed to beat them in this mark, with 3 of them being <50 kills above PHX. Phoenix Battalion was a force that all but the most elite outfits of Connery simply could not handle. PHOENIX BATTALION AggressivelyStupid posted:Miller got poo poo on by Mattherson already. Depending on which team we sent Miller would get poo poo on again. They, unlike others, seem to have learned. They got rolled by us because they stuck with the A2A hellzerg. Next match, that was gone and they were all business. I don't think they'd win, but it'd be close like it was with Waterson I think

AggressivelyStupid posted:Uh they had an A2G zerg. Not a2a. If you mean in Miller vs. Mattherson, Miller lost to Mattherson because they had a platoon of air to air sky nights. I remember this with 100% certainty. QRY stopped trying to fight them 1-4 and just pulled Skyguards when they tried to gate camp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS1IPlNg1RY Connery went full A2G against Woodman and hard stomped them. I don't think extra A2G would have saved Connery. I don't think anything would have saved Connery.

I was happy to see VS pull some air out today, I saw a GOKU Scythe and a PREY Reaver fighting, naturally I shot down the Scythe with my lock-on, but I was surprised I didn't get a hate tell from either for interrupting their honor duel. I will say of all the VS air the GOKU pilot was the best, two other guys went into trees trying to avoid my rockets. I noticed they fixed kills showing up and added back marksman ribbons for proximity mines again, always nice when I'm shooting at people and my guy let's out a "got him" from somebody finding a mine I dropped twenty minutes ago.

I am getting the worst input lag all the time now. It seems the newest patch made it even worse. I'm getting to the point up wanting to buy a new mouse/keyboard setup.

Apparently my shotgun stole one too many kills away from a fellow goon while guarding a door to a generator, because I was summarily executed during a lull in the fighting. I should get around to putting my alt in GOKU. It won't keep me from getting TK'd by fellow goons, but at least they'll be doing it out of
