Thought I'd go ahead and make this to lure people into conversation without them having to be on-topic to the thread, not that we ever were on topic in other threads in the first place.
Okay, what's cooler, AP+Kobalt or HE+Halberd? Why is your empire the best?
VS are communists. (Y/N) Also, shotguns are OP. (Y/N) BRICK WHERE YOU AT? (Insert gun and why)
And all the updates, lane system, ESRL, Vehicle Balance, infantry balance, MAX balance. Lace them with layers of silliness and comedy for the general thread.
Also, we need more statistics and diagrams and graphs and such, but this is no place for that.
:eek:

/lured
AP is always cooler than HE; nothing more lame than AoE spam.
NC have the best AV MAX weapon in the Falcon (I think that more than 1/2 of my kills are with Dual Falcons). Tried Dual Pounders recently; a very poor relation.
VS are nothing more than spandex wearing wannabe Jedis; insectoid vermin that need to be exterminated. But they are a sovereignty, like ants, not commies.
Shotguns - not OP; only useful at close range; Carbines much more useful. Although a good LA + shotty is dangerous to my AV MAX if I let them get too close.

I've seen your work with the Falcons, it is beautiful. Now we need to have auto-convergence for the max arms so people can start complaining :3
Sovereignty is not necessarily a form of government, what I have gleaned from historical thesauruses is that it often simply referred to the status of power a government has, particularly in the case of freedom for the individual. Sovereigns often were singular in their power, and at the time they were kings, now they define any modern political state as sovereign, unless it's a confederacy or something. They are defined by the lore as Technocractic, and out of the many meanings of technocratic I chose the socialist commonwealth wherein the distribution of goods and all other economic calculations are handled by computers. I personally like the form of Technocracy that says technocracy is anarcho-communist.
Often the term for these things is ambiguous, and the lore (what little I've read) is not suitably clear, so we are left to our choosing. Is/Are the NC a megacorp controlling with the illusion of freedom, or are they an anarcho-capitalist force of liberty? (I prefer the latter.) Is the TR a state-capitalist and authoritarian, or socialist and authoritarian? Do the people have representation? (This one is harder to argue in the representation department, it's pretty clear they're placed under martial law and centralized power increased as the insurrection increases in the colony ships). Is the VS an anarcho-communist technocracy which destroys individuality/enlightens the mind, or a kingdom of distributionist (G.K. Chesterton style) religious devouts? (The lore about the black scientist and the enlightening process to me suggest the former.) It depends on the bias you have, and which canon you're going by. My understanding is that there are two different canons, one for example having Nanite Systems developing 'rebirthing' (Margaret actually said this TO ME on stream), and the other that says Vanu scientists discovered it, and then they formed the sovereignty after because of TR 'oppression'. Or some combination thereof.
And I have faith that shotguns aren't OP, but I'm at a loss for how to explain what should be done about them with so many calling for nerfs. I want someone to hold my hand, inform me, so I can go out and preach the word of Brick to the PS2 community. :3

OKAY NEW TOPIC. What have you certed to on the test server (if you've played it), actually how about your real characters too? On my TR I went Medic (that NS revolver is holla) and Sunderer, my NC I went Heavy and Vanguard, I haven't played the VS yet due to the suit crash bug. For my real account, I've gone HA HA HA HA HA, and HA, I spread the love.
Oh biddilly boi I can't wait to grab my stuff and get my noobstomp on when dat tutorial and lane system cum out, mebey wid Hossin soon.

Not played the test server; I estimate that it would take 12 hours to download! But in game I've invested lots of certs in my MAX. Fully certed regenerative armour; 1% sec doesn't sound like much but it is surprising how quickly it gets you back to health. And just where is an engineer when you need one? Also reduced the MAX cooldown, Charge cooldown (or should I call it "Flee"), and put extended mags on my Bursters I do so like playing MAX.

You can copy paste your /Resources/Assets/ folder from the actual game install directory and put it into the Test directory to take care of the majority of the download.

Psijaka, opinion on the Mattock and how it stacks up against the others, also what do you think about the NC MAX slugs? (And the MAX shotgun nerf >:3
Den, wow, I should have. . . too late, whatever. How about certing on the test server? TR medic (TVR, SABR) and Sunderer (Bulldog, crap I should have picked Fury, and Walker), I couldn't do VS without that stupid crash bug, should try them again now. I like lanes.

Since XP doesn't mean anything on the Test Server and SOE intends to wipe characters regularly, you may as well beat them to the punch and constantly delete and remake characters so you can repeatedly shuffle those 10,000 Certs around and try everything out.

I've not tried out Mattocks; I tend to run as an AV MAX. The heaviest MAX AI nerf has been to the TR Mercy; had quite a substantial damage reduction which has caused a lot of whining on certain forums (we bros are above such childishness of course). And I would go for the Bulldog. Usually I regard Sunderers as prey when I'm running AV MAX, but on a few occasions I've had an unpleasant shock when I've come up against the Bulldog (once got blasted by dual Bulldogs; blown to bits before I had realised the danger I was in). Thinking of spending certs in game to put a Bulldog on my Sunderer loadout, not too expensive 250certs. I'll keep one Basilisk; still a pretty useful all round gun.
