Freedom Fridays - Planetside 2 NC outfit nights

[mickygor]

A reminder of what to do when we liberate the VS and the TR - turn on the NC

I'm a bit done with TSFH. It's good music, don't get me wrong, but I've listened to it too many times already

[eltdown]

The appropriate music, for me at least, is any pre-1991 Metallica album (I love Master of Puppets), although I prefer to have the music off as I can't hear people sneaking up on me properly when capping points.

It also appears that my mouse is working again... looks like I'm going to have a decent spare mouse in a few days time.

2x xp weekend chaps, get to some big game hunting tonight 730

Guys, I keep hearing both the RPS outfits are on Miller..

..but this video from the official PS2 YouTube mentions you guys, on the Ceres server! (..my server.)

Or did they just accidentally mix the two up without mentioning it?

[Yargh]

I'll generously suppose that it was a mixup, as he was filming us on Miller. Could also have been done for story continuity.

Chuffed that he named the outfit though.

[CMaster]

I think it was deliberate - the previous broadcast, was already on Miller, so it was time for another to be featured. But they also wanted RPS I guess, so as well as some footage from Ceres, they also did bits on Miller.

[Yargh]

the only thing that matters is that we won! Too few shots of giraffe camo though.

I guess that's what happened.. 'Ceres sucks guys, lets film on Miller and pretend its Ceres'

[Thunder]

Is there still a way to join the Miller NC RPS Outfit? Im german so I know how to handle a gun, is that enough qualification?

[mickygor]

It most certainly is! Just pop on the mumble channel and ask someone for an invite.

[Ayam]

Is Ceres an American server? I'm figuring there may be an American RPS contingent who have modeled themselves with the same name, if that's even possible.

btw great FF tonight:

1) the flash-rocket-launcher parade

2) helpless Cooper thinking he was being driven off cliffs on the backseat of a flash

3) InverseLaw's grenade launcher seat on his galaxy becoming my next favourite thing

4) 2 continent caps

5) an amazing late night galaxy run where we snuck our galaxy in amongst a thousand VS galaxies and flew as united hippos of the skies for some brief moments

6) cmon man, saved the best till last: double exp!

[HammerfistXI]

i wanted to join last night but iv been sick as a dog

[Wafflynumber]

*Returns to house, carrying the heads of the SOE QA team* for the 3rd week in a row I've been forced to miss freedom friday. Blame these guys *Holds up heads*

[Leird]

Was fun being on the friday night outting with you lot! Action packed and just all round good fun! So looking forward to doing it some more!!

Also i just started playing this game and it's AWESOME!

[eltdown]

The fight at Aurora was crazy, unreal amount of TR packed into those rooms - good defence on their part. It ended up being a war of attrition, but I think it really needed something dramatic like a MAX Gal drop or Light Assault swarm over the top to help break the resistance earlier. Didn't help that the spawn room's really near the point there.

I'd initially thought that the 2-seater Flash would need certs and use the utility or weapon slot, but was pleasantly surprised. Now then - a Flash with the Fury mounted and AA / Annihilator heavies on the back? And has anyone tried the backseat Engi with AT mines yet?

No, Ceres is a Euro server.. evidently the bad one.

[Dominicus]

A heads up for those who do not have a very fast internet connection, there will be 2 more updates before friday. (At least they announced 2, might be more :P)

[Ayam]

Mmm, could one of those be the new rocket launchers? *eyes his last 1000 Station Cash*
