So it turns out there's no way to transfer chars from one server to another, god damn it now I have to drop my VS one, and just as I certed out the Scythe a bit :C
Ahem.

Shortly after the merges are complete we plan to begin offering server transfer tokens, so if you would prefer to go to a different server at that point you could.
I'm assuming it's a SC only item, but it should be possible soon.

It being SC only does not help in any way, I'll ask for a free one anyways, they did this, they might aswell fix it.

Why do you HAVE to drop your VS one. Theres no restriction about having multiple characters on one server.

I hate the wings on my reaver, they always catch on things, making my spin around and crash :<

Also they really need to make ammo towers render earlier, every time i fly underneath a biolab one pops into existence 3 or 4 metres in front of me

Just practice flying low, it took me a while but at this point I fly right against the ground all the time, between trees and under biolabs. It doesn't help me avoid ESF's tailing me, but if they're going to kill me I'm at least going to show up those god aweful mozzie pilots, they never get as low as I do.

I asked pwnbuckets how to become a good reaver pilot, his advice, "hold spacebar" "I'm not even joking".

There isn't but I don't like doing it since it feels very cheaty to me, especially if I do it in a short time period, which I always end up doing since my PS2 sessions aren't usually long and I play a bit with each of the three factions.

ohhhh god just had the most embarrassing life in my reaver. the order came in to go to the warpgate and load up in gals, and i landed my reaver on a gal. then i slipped off, causing another gal to flip in the process. when we finally got into the air, i saw i was way in front and did a loop to put myself in formation, crashed into a gal and died.

had to log off in shame

Played game again for first time in awhile. Remember how fun infiltrator is to play. Stealthy went to an outpost near the enemy , hacked the vehicle bay and spawned a Sunderer. Deploy it's spawning and start capping the point. What followed was an enemy heavy appearing, trying to rocket the sundered, me stealthing behind him and stabbing him, and then people started spawning in and capped the point. I feel important :)

Also the kind of thing that makes me wish I joined some kind of group, since actually organising that kind of thing instead of hoping it happens organically would be amazing...

I actually suggested being able to spawn an entire armor zerg from a single hacked terminal behind enemy lines. Over on the TAS forum. Then I quit TAS yesterday and joined WMD cause they are way more organized and that's more fun for me.

If you think that's bad, you've obviously not spent much time in a Scythe. Those hooks? They catch on everything. They seem to magnetically attract tree branches. And if they catch on anything you're automatically dead, because they'll spin you right into it. I once died because I parked on a roof, capped a point, and went back to take off. I didn't notice that the tip of one of them was through a railing, but it was, flipped me, and I died before I could bail.

Gah, I just bought a new cannon for my Lightning, got all ready to go, got to a vehicle spawner...

And due to lag was instakilled every single time I tried to spawn it in the remainder of my playtime before I ragequit.

Most of us are NC, but the awesome ones are VS. And there's probably a person or two on TR wondering where we all are.

We VS managed to capture at least half of Indar last night despite having the lowest population. Even racked up a 22 killstreak with my HEAT Lightning.

Very intersting indeed. It almost suggests and individual hex control system with the way the VS and NC are seperated in the corner, as in you control territory in tiny chunks instead of one big chunk. I have no idea what the black area is, though.
