If SONY wants to pander to the 10%, while driving away the other 90%, then by all means enjoy your ghost town of a MMOFPS just like in PS1.

And I think I played for like 6 months, not 4 months.

Darkfall = failboat MMORPG, a greifer's paradise. I told you so, I told you so, ah ah I told you so.



Buff CE, remove CUD abilities completely.
You've played for 6 months, and that gives you the knowledge on how to play a layered game like planetside? l o l.

I'll tell you what, I'll ce a base of my choice, and you have to try and get inside with me defending. I'll go ahead and let you know ahead of time, that it won't happen without an EMP.

The defender is suppose to have an advantage. That's the way war has been working for thousands of years. And that's why indirect artillery was invented. You take away all of this and all you've got left is a random brawl.

Except this a game, defense is supposed to be strong yes, but properly layed CE is impossible to get through with even population. Also, OS = indirect artillery, that can only be used once every 6 hours.

OS is an I-win button, not artillery. It's invalid. And it doesn't matter if it's on a 6 hour timer.

A proper defense is easy to get through with massed flails, and a properly timed follow up offense.

The OS is a 6 hour timer, it takes 1 minute to replace anything it killed.

It takes time to get massed flails setup, on top of also requiring a cavelock/mod to even pull them. Then of course you actually have to have enemies already pushed into the CY for them to be any real use. If the base your pushing already has vehicles out, even if you flail the courtyard out, you still won't push in easily, on top of the fact you're missing however many people you have manning the flails.

Btw, flails are more of an i win button then an OS.

Irrelevant. I-win buttons have no place in a FPS game.

Wrong, flails are not an I-win button, it takes foresight, planning, cooperation to use them and they can be easily countered if there wasn't a warp bubble they could run to which is why they should be immobile setups in PS2.

It doesn't equate to an I-win button, it's a tool that has nothing wrong with it.

And no, flails don't require any such thing, it takes a minute to get it deployed and setup a waypoint and a few test shots to get it lined up, and once you get going, you can tape the mouse button down and go make a sandwich (something I did once, came back to 20 kills from vpad camping). It's an I win button.

Making a fool out of oneself in this degree doesn't deserve a thread lock does it?

I think OS's themselves are fine, just the number of OS's available to a faction is the OP part.

I myself have 5 CR5's, 4 of which are NC. So in the event that I really, really, don't like a particular AA max sitting on a ridge, I can just OS him over and over and over.

Re: Why I quit PS1


You are saying an Orbital Strike is an I-win button. Hahahahahahahaha. I get hit by orbital strikes only if I am drunk, have my music up too loud and cannot hear the warning, or I am spawning into an AMS and I get pwned on materialising.

Use your hearing, and surge = counter. Very simple. Perhaps you should attempt to use my advice and see for yourself

You are correct sir!

Mostly OS's are used as a tactical strike, to take out an ams for instance.

So I've been following the humor of this thread for some time, but I really must say something.

Dear Buggsy,

Declaring anything "irrelevant" in your opinion does not make it so.
Declaring anything "I-win" does not make it so.
You are dismissing entirely valid and reasonable arguments about tactical balance because you, and you alone, consider them "I-win" or "irrelevant"

Therefore, you no longer have any logical structure to your argument, let alone credibility. If you wish to carry on such debate in the future, I suggest you learn how to so in a more structured and reasonable fashion.

Sincerely,
Elays
