The mastermind of their whole coalition goes on and on about 40 razor supers and then lawn and bastion supers and how they need to get set up to hyperdunk those and co2 has some intel and things they can do, yet I just listened to jeffraider and other awkward nerds insist there was never any trap.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

Everyone knows that there was a trap. To be honest, I would be disappointed by PL/NC. if they would have passed up on the chance to deal a crippling blow through betrayal.

Yeah tbh if the super trap had worked I'd be pretty impressed. Goons are no strangers to skullduggery and it'd be poetic if the empire that arose through underhanded trickery were to fall to underhanded trickery.

Which is what makes this game unique and also retarded at the same time in that 50% and for some, 100% of the 'gameplay' doesnt even involve the client.

It will be a lot like Planetside 2 I think, but hopefully better than Planetside 2.

A big trouble Planetside (both 1 and 2) run into is that they try to do big sprawling continents that have enough room for hundreds and hundreds of people to fight on. Except there's little/no point to doing anything other than packing as many people as possible into the primary point of contest so you wind up with these godawful overly crowded fights because there's a thousand people fighting over a base designed to support a fight of like 200 tops. If Legion not Legion can do massive scale battles and solve the problem of players inevitably trying to pack way too many people into a point of conflict, they'll have a great game on their hands.

I have absolutely no idea how you discourage people from overcrowding without some weird instancing system or just hamfistedly not letting more people into an area though :(



(the other problem with Planetside 2 is that there's 4 continents, where Planetside 1 had 10 of them, plus a rotation of caves, so PS1 had a metagame to the fight where PS2 has none)

Nah, I just legit love the word skullduggery.

Despera posted:

No that's exactly what it does. The word is devious and underhanded because it makes your treachery sound childish. Using the word skullduggery to describe your shady activities is itself a form of skullduggery.

It's perfect.

yeah having ships that cost like thousands of dollars of isk and are ultra mega weapons that like a half a percent of your game will ever touch is kinda dumb and bad design



can you still do really stupid stuff with a cloaky proteus with blasters, my eve pvp dream was always to play a cloaking blaster proteus and dunk people ratting, and these days i have the money to pay a sub and let an account just accrue SP until i can fly the ship i want

Supers were cool when it took an entire Alliance worth of resources to build one and there were like 4 in the entire game. Like Jedi in SWG.

depending on how often they can one shot things it forces teamwork to bring down a greater foe, and (from my outside perspective looking in) titans currently seem like theyre basically giant killmail pinatas instead of things to remotely fear

that said given how many titans there are in the game you'd need an unfieldable number of pilots in subcaps to kill a supercap fleet and its dumb that it sounds like theyre making eve into 'who has more supercaps, k you win'

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Presumably because they'll be easier to kill too, but we'll see how it shakes out.

When was the last time it wasn't like this though? At least without unbreakable spider tanks it might be like this in a more interesting way.
