I tried the IP you posted, but it didn't work.
Guess i'll try again.

"[15:43:48] Server connection failed: The remote host closed the connection."

It is telling me the ping and the amount of users tough.
(And i generally don't use mumble. So i don't really have an idea what's going on.)

[Ultimuh]

So is there a server where EVEYONE here has a character?
And if so, what faction?

[miauw62]

No, not really.
Most of us are on Matherson as NC.

[Twiggie]

Or Miller for the EU people

[miauw62]

Anybody else at Matherson ATM?
Send me a friend invite, MrMiauw, NC.

Hey guys, i'm downloading this now.
Will probably be on tomorrow, or the day after.
I'll probably be a rebel and join the Vanu's.

Start a trial weapon...

...Servers shut down. Figures.


I'm really starting to think that the NC have gotten a pretty short stick when it comes to weapons. I've been playing around with other factions, and I have to say that while the TR and the VC are pretty balanced towards each other, I have a hard time killing anyone outside of CQC, even with a forward grip. I can just feel the difference whenever I play NC and then go to one of the other two.

So I'm going to be playing the other factions until things get balanced out. It's surprisingly fun when your gun is capable of hitting things.

I'll probably be a rebel and join the Vanu's.

The NC are the rebels, the TR are the imperialist, the vanu are just coming out of the closet violently.

[Facekillz058]

Rebel as in, what most of you guys arent doing.
Throwing my hat into the elven ring, so to speak.

[Knight of Fools]

Technically, both the Vanu and NC are both rebelling against the TR. They're just doing it for different reasons.

[Cthulhu]

I also kind of feel like the NC have dumb weapons.  I mean, they hit hard but that's not useful when they can't hit anything.

The close-range setup of the MAXes is also not really my style.  I feel like MAXes should be long-ranged support units, something more like the TR ones with their dual miniguns.  I'm almost thinking about switching over to TR, just out of general preference for their stuff.

[Twiggie]

I heard the TR and Vanu sniper rifles cant OSK with a headshot?
can anyone confirm that?

[Facekillz058]

I have to ask, does the game support controllers?
Because my laptop is awesome and the touchpad shuts off temporarily when you press the letter keys.

[Doomblade187]

From what I hear, it loves controllers. But I feel the same problem with NC weapons. I don't have the certs to get the gun I could actually use, and I love the Vanu standard guns way more, so I actually like Vanu a lot better.

I happen to really like the TR engineer's default carbine. I haven't had any situation other than fighting a Max head on where I lost with it (other than poor aim of course). Especially against infiltrators who are like free food for me.

I also grabbed a holo sight for it too, so now I don't have the crappy iron sights when trying to shoot long range.

So far I bought the deploy thing for sunderers and the scope for my carbine and 12% bonus health on him. I like being engie a lot. The gun is good, free ammo and exp nonstop. You get a badass turret that kills almost everything and is really hard to deal with. The only weakness so far is extreme range and vehicles. I wish I had some way to kill tanks.

I did flip two Lightnings once as a Sunderer too. Basically they barricaded the entrance to a fort and I just drove through them. It was hilarious. Even my passengers were laughing on voice comms.

I like this game. Still not going to pay for anything though.

I'm doing really well so far, which might be why I'm liking it. Tend to average about 3 kills to each death now. And sometimes I can go hours without dying simply because the turret is so good. I remember once I hot dropped onto the top of a bridge directly behind the enemy's staging point. I just sat up there with my turret and mowed people down for about an hour before someone had the brains to jump up with a light assault and try to kill me. Didn't succeed because the carbine is so good. I left after that though.
