Same here batman

This game is the reason i'm getting a new comp, it looks amazing, the scale on these battles is immense its like 2000 players in one battle (WTF)
deffently not recommended playing by yourself. I downloaded and installed this game like last week but my s**t laptop basically had an heart attack was devastated, i reckon you guys should give it another chance, get a group on and put some PR tactics into it.

Owning in mosquitoes since... Well.. 4 days ago

TR for lyfe.

Warning: Serious face time!
Impressions about my faction and the game.

/rant
Been playing TR with some other Outfit. Only got to BR 37 because I sleep during primetime. Lots of good fun but I think it needs some more metagaming when the fourth continent unlocks. Like bring back the Sanctuary back from PS1! While you are at it bring back the Lodestar so we can transport vehicles. You know what? Bring back the whole metagaming around base defense. Oh, and make the bases more defensible. Right now it is zerg, zerg, zerg and zerg. And make a cert that allows tanks to drive with 3 people instead of BF style (read: 2). Sorry, I went on a tangent. /endrant

I have been spending most of my certs into the mosquito.

Flares	4/4
Composite Armour	3/4
Racer Airframe	3/3
Dogfighter Airframe	3/3
Hellfire Rocket Pods
Tomcat Missiles
Rotary canon

Overall that is about 5900 cert F2P and only 1000 kills in the Mosquito. That is mainly because I engage fighters and they tend to bail out or get stolen by a teammate. Thinking of getting Radar or what ever it is called before I go into acquisition timer. Good fun to be had in the mosquito but I think the A2A missiles really should have been left at 750 certs instead of reducing the cert cost to 500. The mosquito is a very capable fighter but it is outstripped by the Scythes ability to make a loop while hovering. Try to hit that small hitbox while having to lead it. That is of course 1 v 1 and I have been trying to get people to play as my wingman with good results.

The Prowler is the worst tank of the 3 factions that I will admit. The only time it shines is when it has to blitz the crown on Indar. Yay... Best road speed but the canons only deal 50% damage per shell that a Vangaurd normally does. Anchoring down is also one of the worst certs unless you go max it out. Because it makes you a big target. The only time it is useful is when you are ambushing tanks or sieging a base that has no defenses. The Prowler can out DPS any tank if it hits 100% of the time if both tanks have the same unlocks. That said the Vangaurd has the best armour and canon. The Magrider has the least armour but can strafe to dodge shells and has the best secondary canon.

Small arms wise, all is well. TR has the biggest benefit at close range because of the bigger clips and RoF. Most of the time I die is when I go up against Orions, Solstices and Scats. I mostly die at close range. TR is the underdog in this game. I hoped the devs would be more professional but most of the developers are either NC or VS. Go figure. The biggest down side for them is that it forces TR to be more organised. Less complacent and all that.

Ok, the game was not ready to be released but it turned out good enough to get people paying. Outfit play is the most rewarding as you receive an objective and have the Outfit knowledge at your disposal. Sadly, most of the changes have been to promote zerg play. The casual people that do not want to join an Outfit and do not have the brain to handle things tactically. But on the bright side. Planetside 1 had 11 years of development/neglect. Planetside 2 has years to become what Planetside 1 used to be. Here is to hoping!

Had a great game with Sug today. Thx Sug, btw
Should get some more people on together!!!

Also, Fort, do you have any tips to getting cert points easy?

And also, we all need to get on the same server/team. Feels kind of pointless for me to level up because it's just gonna reset when I change server. And I've got a feeling I'm not playing on the server you all are.

Mickw1 and I mainly play on Miller for the same Outfit. He seems to enjoy the game quite a lot. Not sure what server anybody else is on. Most clanmembers are on different factions/servers so it will be impossible to get them on the same page. If you want, you can join my Outfit if you have none. Recruitment is open and I can vouch for you. Do not feel like I am pushing this on you. This is but a friendly invitation.

Here is a table on bases that we usually attack. There are some towers that are good defendable locations. But, I am not going into that right now.

Indar
The Crown	Center of the map, usually hotly contested. More like a handicap as most people want to farm there.
Rashnu Bio Lab	Pretty good fights usually.
Tawrich Tech Plant	Before the Tech Plant nerf it was funny to watch both empires try to get in. If VS take it, capture Hvar. Nothing will stop you.
Esamir
Mani Bio Lab	Just like Rashnu but a lot more contested. TR and NC love to zerg there for some reason leaving VS to take over other regions.
Eisa Tech Plant	Center of the map, only Tech Plant. No-brainer really, but harder to defend now.
Amerish
Tech Plants	All of them are usually a good fight. Keep an eye on the continent pop though.
Sungrey Amp Station	TR on our server love to zerg up there and split the map for some reason.

Infantry battles are good for certs if you got a gun certed out correctly. Sieging towers with infantry crawling over them with a tank is always fun. When your tank gets blown up you can camp the top of the tower with an engineer turret. If you look on the map try to find regions that are about to be flipped. If you Mozzie on over there for the cap you get the points.

Sorry, not much to say about farming certs. Usually good farms are had in a defensive position against a smaller dedicated force. They keep on coming in and they keep on dying. We usually follow the SL around and cap stuff. Playing the map now instead of farming. A bit sad really, but that is how it is. If you are horribly outnumbered your best bet is to go somewhere else. Possibly follow the Zerg for a bit. Be annoying and capture regions that have no enemy activity.

A word on all the bases. Amp Stations are the worst to defend. A smaller force can just jump over the towers and get to all the generators. It becomes a ring-around-the-rosie very easily. Extremely frustrating. It is recommended to go for their spawn and destroy/cap it. Tech Plants used to be the most defensible base. Placing blastshield generators outside is one thing. Not being able to teleport into the base is another. Still you have the top deck of the plant. Bio Labs are now the most easily defended. Try to make sure the hardspawn next to the shield generator stays yours. If not camp the teleporter. There are multiple entry points but they all act as choke points. If you get overrun there will still be some fighting until the SCU blows. At that point it is probably time to pack up and leave.

With that said. I miss PS1 with its defendable bases. Sure most of it was corner jumping inside the base but it was a lot more fun keeping the enemy out of the courtyard.
