Planetside Saturdays - 2009/17/1 - From the LAN

[CaffeinePowered]

So last night was pretty badass, I thought we ran into some people that might have been on free trials for RPS, but when I asked someone they said they weren't

We were attacking Mukuru on Cyssor from Nzame, we had a hack in , but didn't blow the tubes yet. As we started to blow the tubes, the VS took down the gens at the other NC base, shortly there after, the NC started spawning like crazy, but luckily we still managed to get the tubes down.

Shortly there after someone took back the tower and we had NC coming in from the tower, and I was only in a stealth suit with an AMP, fortunately they were all in bright blue armor signifying low battle rank and extremely noobish. Proceeded to run out of AMP ammo twice slaughtering them, then someone in gold armor with a jackhammer who knew what they were doing killed me

So is Ertai going to this LAN thing or what?  Cos I want someone to kick him in the balls for me.

Shadow or I could do this, unless his car ices up during the drive and he crashes into a ditch somewhere

Tried out NC for a while. Vanguard sucks in my opinion.  It's too slow and terrible at maneuvering.  The phoenix on the other hand, is god.  It kills infantry. It kills vehicles.  It kills everything.

Yes Phoenix is broken, because you can kill everything without ever having to expose yourself >=/.  The Vanguard does a shitton of damage, but you need to be really good to be effective with it, and I rarely see that.  Mags are generally way better.

Problems with the phoenix

- Sucks royal ass indoors
- You are cloaker bait
- Can not move when guiding rocket
- Sucks in phantasm drops


Id take the lancer over it 9/10 times

[Versus]

1: use a decimator indoors.
2: I'd accept being cloaker bait if I could kill a MAX over a hill or in the mountain in three hits...without necessarily exposing myself.
3: can't move with the lancer if you want decent accuracy, although you will obviously have better situational awareness zoomed in with the lancer than guiding a missile.
4: true. owns in other situations.

lancer pros:

laser, while still incredibly slow compared to a REAL laser, is much faster than a missile.

Spartan laser?

I worked 73 hours this week, and I'm fucking taking some me time.

I'll be there if it kills me.

Also, lancer pwnz all AV if you can get used to leading for the bzzzzzTHWOP fire delay. The rounds move the fastest, it has almost damn near infinite LOS range, no lock-on warning, and fastest MAX TTK of all the AV besides Decis. And its actually decent indoors since it doesn't have splash, so you don't have to worry about pegging a group of friendly Rexo's with it and knocking off half their armor.

For scaring off aircraft and tanks, the striker's lock-on is the best.

For pissing off everyone, go ahead and use the phoenix.

[Eschatos]

And signups for the RPS event thingy ended hours before I got home from work today.  Fuck it, let's kill them all.

[Dave]

i repeat, fuck you traitor.

[rumsfald]

That ass tacos is a spai.

Sorry I couldn't get the guys at the LAN in on this

[fyre]

Maybe next week I'll give this a try.

Apology accepted, since you had little/no control over the other drunken bastards, but I'm still fucking pissed off. You guys rant and rave about how awesome the PS night is when I'm fucking stuck doing stupid-ass shit with my girlfriend, and then pull this tonight which just tops off my shitty fucking week. Thanks.

/brb, uninstalling

It's not our fault there was nothing but a single boring interlink stalemate battle.  Go blame all the CR5's for pulling everyone off to start that crap.

[rumsfald]

ShadowCast, MajorAsshole, Furio, and possibly Ertai will all be at a LAN together. Hopefully we'll all get on together and play, might take some convincing to get a few of the guys to play but if they don't want to play I guess they could do DOTA or something while we stomp TR/NC.

Was actually pretty popular before caff came on...actually exceeded our capacity to lead ourselves (4-5 is the max I think for a non-vet to hold a squad together). Once we spilled over to the second squad we definitely needed several vets to lead the grunts around.

Poor At0m. He now needs to work another 80 hours to be able to be allowed to play again.

[Squishy3]

Doesn't help I crashed during the raid on the base on Searhus. :<

[Eschatos]

Personally I thought the stalemate on Searhus was pretty awesome.  Phoenix sniping got me a battle rank and a ton of kills.
