I've never joined a squad in this gamed and I still have a blast. Someday I may finally try it out, but no one here really plays TR. No... you guys have to go super-gay and VS it all the time.

The one redeeming thing about Vs is they are chronically low pop. NC and TR will see saw between 30-35% world pop while VS hover at around 28% on a good day. Play VS if you want the faction that is reliably out popped and able to find fights more often than not.

Stay TR or NC of rolling around in a mogwai zerg ball is your thing.

We have NC and TR alts. It has been a long time since alt night though. Usually it would be TR when they were low pop but now its VS.

Join us! You don't have to play with us all the time. Worst case you go back to TR in 10 minutes.

Oh, unrelated question - can enemies steal your vehicles or anything? or is it safe to just use them as quick transport into a zone and dump them if you don't care about the nanite cost or whatever it's called

Yeah playing VS is to know the joy of having 3 amazing defensive fights lined up 1 after another then attacking a base with 40% pop and taking it. It's SOE's fault for making an ultra national US faction, a normal fascist US faction then some weird anime faction.

The majority of the players will choose the comfortable factions while power gamers instantly gravitate to the hardmode.

You're right, being that power gamers gravitated to hardmode.

True.

Besides, the only active players are GOKU on vs. GOON on NC is long dead, and the TR altfits of GOON and GOKU aren't used. Anyone who plays a non VS main does so only because of the hundreds of hours and money spent, and the only active posters here are VS GOKU.

It would be prudent to simply redirect this thread to the GOKU thread.

Most factions go 1v2 at worst, but NC go 1v3.

We all give PGI poo poo for being incompetent (which they kind of are), but at least they introduce new content and change things up. Some of the changes are bad, but gently caress, they're doing SOMETHING.

Hey arghy, once you posted a video that had a real cool vegan beans recipie for a slow cooker. The creator of years video was a black dude, wore a native American headband, had a radio show, and was also abducted by aliens. Can you tell me his name or find the video?

No. Just bases that melt under tank spam and make continent locking twice as fast

https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/50wn6j/biolab_test_coming_soon_to_pts/

BBurnns laying out a concept for a PTS playtest in the coming weeks. They've removed Ikanam Bio and built a area that supports a lattice lane fight underneath a area where bases can be constructed.

Seems interesting. If only to be able to pull the trigger to theoretically nuke a biolab fight.

This, but Searhus. It'd even work great plot-wise: the continent is so volcanically and tectonically active that permanent buildings just don't stay for very long, outside of maybe the big bases and the warpgates. It'd be great to see a varied landscape with valleys, mountains, cliffs, and plains to build on.

Got my first 200 killstreak. Turns out camping in the MLG box in biolabs with a friendly engineer helping you and popping out of the shields with a dual falcon max is a super easy way to farm kills.
