Good times with Hek tonight (sorry I bolted so quick at the end).
Yeah that was a blast, that shit was hilarious when we tried to run that dude down in the Harasser only to come face to face with 2 Vanguards.


They currently have all the NS weapons in a bundle on sale right now until the end of the day, normally like 5k SC for 1500-1800SC, it's a hell of a deal.

I have a ton of fun in this game, until I'm forced to pull air to fend off a Liberator or two. Just now I chased one down and got killed by *two* more. EVERYONE runs Liberators now it seems. I went ahead and uninstalled until I see patch notes bringing them back in line. I did the same thing during the dark days of ZOE maxes, I'm sure I'll be back...eventually; I have too much fun in ground fights to give up on this completely.

We?re doing some testing of different spawn rules on all Live servers for the next few days.




Change 1
Defensive reinforcement spawn points now turn off once the defenders reach 50% of the total population in the region.


Change 2
All players can now spawn at any deployed Sunderer on their current continent.


Change 3
Squad members can no longer quick deploy to the facility nearest to their squad leader.
Beacons, deployed Sunderers, squad owned Galaxies and Sunderers with open seats are still valid squad spawn targets.




A few general notes:
This is just a temporary test so that we can gather data and feedback from players on the direction of these changes. Any and all feedback that you have would be appreciated.
These changes were modified on the data side without bringing the servers down, so there?s a small chance that the spawn changes will revert on a continent if it goes down. We will do our best to fix the settings as quickly as possible if this happens.


===============

The fucking comments after are some of the most insane i've seen in a while. Not the naked, foaming at the mouth, gibbering insanity you can see a mile away and steer clear of; no, the quietly insane kind, the guy you only realize is batshit crazy 2 hours into a 6 hour airplane trip.

There's only really one I can even wrap my head around, the guy (in a sideways way) bitching about how few counters there are to flight-ceiling parked Gals. Everyone else just reads like "I hate that defenders have a chance to turn a cap around." "I want even more tedium in this game!" and the like.

Well hopefully they listen to the non crazy people, this game is dying and if they don't do something about it soon they're gonna lose their hardcore players.

How about they go back to original system they had of letting people instant deploy to where they wanted to so population would swarm to one spot and allow players join large battles as soon as they loged in?

Also put alert rewards back to a fixed amounts and not linked to how much time you were logged into game when they end.

Those two massive nerfs did extraordinary damage to the game.

I always wondered why i had to log into a far far off spot before i could get into action. I was like how stupid is it that i have to spawn here. then deploy wait 10 seconds then go to where i needed to go. Why not just see where the action is at when you log in and bam!

yep it's so fucking stupid all SOE does is listen to all those shitty god damn military sim roleplayers who pretend they are General Patton leading the 3rd infantry across Europe in Command chat.

As a fairly casual ps2 player, ADK has been pretty nice. Just log in, and instantly hop in one of their squads to get semi organized game play. I usually end up in the platoon run by a guy that sounds moderately homosexual, and besides giving the general strategy, and asking that you contribute towards the assigned waypoints, they seem pretty laid back.

My take on PS2 as what I would describe now as a ex player even though I may log in every month are so for a few hours.

PS2 is about shooting people in the face in a endless variety of ways and big fucking battles.

Everything else is like the plot line in a porno movie simply not important.

They have spent the past year+ focusing on plot line of a porno movie instead of what was important.

Welp, I can honestly say the spawn changes caused me to burn far more random vehicle points getting to good, winnable fights and to spend far FAR too much SHITTY FUCKING TIME getting farmed tonight.

The alert was to cap the cont, and vanu had a 10-15% overpopulation. As such, there were hardly ever any non-sundi spawn spots fighting TR. And all the spawns were at vanu and were easily 3 vanu to 1 NC farms.

Finally logged out after realizing how little fun I was having.

Well I see the lib nerf finally on its way, so I'll go ahead and log back in now :p

Hope any Lib pilots enjoyed their OP chariots of death for a while, because unfortunately the way SOE works is it'll be nerfed into uselessness (See Harasser). Oh well!
