1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

[Jim Groovester]

After the patch, I look at infantry at range and if they're far enough away they're highlighted in green, sort of like with the IR vehicle scopes. Is this happening for anyone else?

Guess it wasn't just me:

Fix for characters appearing as green at long distances

So server merges have been announced:

Finally: Server Merges. Next week we will be doing server merges to help even populations across all game servers. Right now we have a lot of disparity between populations on our servers, some are highly populated with active fights across all continents, some are not. This is a factor of which servers were most popular at launch, and players gravitating to one or two servers per locale. Now that the crush of new players from launch and the holidays has died down, and our server populations and incoming new players have stabilized we have a good idea of where each server stands in terms of player population, empire population and we can model merges to optimize the populations.

The following servers will be getting Merged:

US West:
Genudine and Helios -> Helios

US East:
Mattherson and SolTech -> Mattherson
Waterson and Jaeger -> Waterson

EU:
Cobalt and Lithcorp -> Cobalt
Ceres and Mallory -> Ceres

My VS and NC chars will end up on same servers, not sure how that will work out :I

[kaian-a-coel]

That will work out totally well. I do have a TR and a VS character on the same server. I made a point of never playing both of them in a close time and space (I sort of gave up on the TR though).

[Metalax]

Just been checking out the new stats site players.planetside2.com it's looking fairly good so far.

Also, new stealth camo for our magriders.

[kaian-a-coel]

BWAHAHA that would be funny x)

[miauw62]

Alright, we need to reorganize. Any NC on Soltech that are now on Mattherson?

And yes, I still love the NC to death. They are just so much more fun to play than the TR. (and the VS, but I haven't played VS yet.)

[TolyK]

I have VS and NC chars, I like the high-damage bullets from the NC and the "plasmalazor" no-drop bullets from the VS. Haven't played much NC vehicles, or any air, so I can't say about that.

[Paul]

I'm still Conall on Mattherson, but don't play a whole lot.

[Toaster]

Kind of surprised Mattherson is picking up more dudes- I thought we had enough.


Oh well- more dudes for me to shoot.

Anyone else on Cobalt or Lithcorp, here is a good overview of the two servers' current state, major outfits and other important points.

Brief summary of Cobalt;
NC has numbers, broken up into many formally allied outfits that occasionally get together to stomp everyone else.
VS either have [OWND] next to their name or not. If they do they are rolling floating with a dozen Magriders and heavy air cover and it's time to retreat. If they don't then they can and should be farmed.
TR are there as well. I've been actively seeking them out for fights and still end up spending more than double the time fighting Vanu.

I'm currently in Liberties Vanguard ([LVD]) which is part of the Cobalt Alliance. Last time I joined in the Alliance ops we were a dedicated anti-air battery, running two AA Sundies and a pair of skyguards supporting the 301st's tank platoon push on Esamir. Really good fun, although we did end up getting stomped pretty hard. As always we ended up running into massed [OWND] Mags, losing most of our vehicles and getting pushed back.

It looks like NC have numbers on Lithcorp as well, so if we can run more coordinated more often we will probably start taking continents. The problem is, because everyone is split across many outfits, outside formal ops we tend not to have much in the way of group organisation.

[Jopax]

You're NC on Cobalt?

In and Outfit?

Could I get in somehow?

Please?

Pretty please?

[darkrider2]

Sweet Mathersons going to get some new players . A lot of people have been noting a drop in VS population since the magrider nerf, I don't know how credible that is, I only joined after that update. But I rarely see VS push past howling pass, they concern themselves with TR more than us.

[palsch]

Could I get in somehow?

Just pick the best fit from the Alliance and jump through whatever hoops they require. For [LVD] I just added their listed officers as friends till one was online and asked for an invite, no questions asked. Others have actual processes, but I wanted something at least semi-casual and where you don't need a mic.

Looking at that thread, at least one large Lithcorp outfit will be joining soon as well.

[Toaster]

Really?  I'm two for two on joining outfit-based pickup platoons and getting an invite offer.  I pretty routinely hang with TENC since there's rarely more than one other DORF on Mattherson when I am.

[miauw62]

Hmm, that Alliance is a good idea for Mattherson, really. But then again, there are only a few outfits on Mattherson NC. The main ones are probably MU, TAS, GOON and the Blue Lions.
