And if so are you looking for an outfit to play with? I'm part of Outcasters one of the top outfits from the original and we are looking for potential new members (and some of our older ones) for our rebirth in Planetside 2.

I'm planning on playing but hell no I don't want to be in an outfit with you. I'm gonna put you on my kill list and grief you every time I see you.
Don't be TR, I'm gonna be TR and I'm gonna destroy you with my cycler n00b.

Sorry to disappoint. In PS my role was Gal pilot/Engineer/Medic. I plan on continuing this role with them in PS2.

Which faction is your crew going to be?
I was always TR because the cycler was the most accurate long range gun. In this game if it'll be all new weapons and vehicles then obviously I might be something different

There was never a time that my outfit or squad was farmed while I was playing. If we happened upon such a situation we would pull out and attack in a different direction, usually with great success.

Well, I'm trying to get a handle on when you guys were awesome. The only really challenging outfits Emerald ever had on TR were Overlords or KOTOR (TRx).

So you were one of the Werner zergfits. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with inviting and training new players. I've definitely played against your guys on Gemini. I'm not sure I would say you were unstoppable.

Never said we were unstoppable... but we weren't the first Outfit to 10m Outfit points by playing stupid. We removed ourselves from farming situations, and focused on tactical objectives.

I wouldn't use OPs as a measure of effectiveness. Spamming invites to any No Outfit person doesn't mean a whole lot honestly. That's like saying Dark Skyes or Azure Twilight were top notch outfits.

We didn't spam invite, granted we didn't really have many restrictions we also didn't have a huge membership. Inactives were booted, griefers were booted... New players were taught.

Really? Here's a quote from one of your officers on the Planetside forums:
"3. OC invites technically everyone with no outfit and a name you can pronouce. We take our time and effort to train them from the very basics. This way we usually have mixed squads with "since-beta veterans" to "15 mins to the game, and gold ammo are so shiny noobs". And this means whole platoons, and more than 2 squads every night with players getting better and better every day! Yes, we play it as an MMO!"

yeah, that's about right, but taken a bit out of context. We didn't run around spam inviting everyone with no outfit on in Sanctuary. If we saw someone who didn't have an outfit we asked if they were looking for one and asked if they would like to join. Players had to join a squad and play with us before actually being invited.

That's pretty much the definition of a zergfit, man. But that's not a negative, the game need outfits that will take new players and help them in the game.

Yeah we were a zergfit, but we were a structured and focused zergfit. We kicked tons of people everyday. As I said you had to be active and willing to learn.
We were basically set up into 3 sections... You had the Elite Squad, The Academy, and The nooblets. There was a bit of crossover naturally with ES and the Academy... IE: I was primarily part of The Academy and focused on teaching the game to new players and learning them proper tactics and stuff, but I also regularly ran with the Elite Squad as a Gal pilot and Support. No one had my Gal piloting skills, if you needed a Gal parked upside down on a tree top... I was da man.

That's a similar structure to some of the larger Emerald outfits. My outfit only takes extremely experienced people after trials that can last a month or so. A few have been from the outfit like yours that introduced them to the game.
I really hope they deliver what they're promising. We've already got SOE to drop their stupid region lock plan, so now Euros can play with US folks. I like what they're doing so far, and I've played PS1 since day of release. No other game has offered anything like PS1 and I'm really hoping PS2 can make that experience even more awesome.

I'm more involved in SWTOR when I get time, but I log in every few days for an hour or so. Populations are extremely low right now, so it usually ends up in fighting a bunch of Chinese people. Fun can still be found if you know where to look, though.

Sounds like a good idea for me not to resub. Most of the major players in my Outfit are unsubbed and waiting for Beta as well.

They've said that you don't need a current sub for the first cut at beta, so your existing PS1 account should get you in even if you don't have it subbed. I would probably not resub PS1 if you aren't already just because I think you'll be disappointed in the population. Sad to say, since I love the game...but that's the reality of it. :/

Yeah, I already know I'm going to be in the first round of Beta's because of my history with SOE and Planetside. I'm a former BattleOP and Forum Moderator for Tanarus. Don't talk to John as much as I used to but still have his cell # I keep asking him to make Tanarus 2 and bring the Chameleon to Planetside 2... he just keeps saying we'll see lol. If you have been playing Planetside as long as you say you have, you should know what Tanarus is and its importance to both PS and its developers.

Vanu Sovereignty or bust. Nothing beats that Magrider.
I'm definitely planning on playing, most likely the servers will be split though(?) so I'll be on EU.

If they reintroduce my Chameleon it will OWN the Magrider I really hope they go with my idea too... Medium tank w/ cloaking ability and Anti-Vehicle weapon (Lancer on Crack)... Missiles instead of guns for secondary... weak vs infantry... but strong vs other tanks.

I never liked the big tanks, I was always a Lightning kinda guy. Quick strike, solo vehicle, versatile, anti personnel and anti tank weapons....
Also liked the reaver, those rockets were boss.

Lightning is considered a medium tank now... there are no "light" tanks.

They divided the tanks into Medium and Heavy tanks. Magrider and Lightning are Medium Tanks, Vanguard and Prowler are Heavy tanks.

Outfits, not guilds. :P And mine has a 2 week pretrial, then a 2-4 week trial...and you better be damn good at the game, takes almost a unanimous vote to get in.

I was never much for outfits, guilds, clans, that require you to do things. I'm not a social person like that, not even in online games.
The great thing about planetside is that it was fun to just pick up and play. Got 30 minutes? Log in, shoot some fools, log out.

Hah, I used to love this. It was hilarious seeing TR/NC use lashers. Easy kills because they thought the lasher was easy.

I hated the lasher because the clip was small. I'd always get the Vanu n00bs when they needed to reload.

Depends on what version of the lasher you're talking about. The small clip one actually lashed well, so you could occasionally get some cheap kills without hitting someone directly. However, anyone worth a s*** required you to hit them on most every shot, which is where skill with the lasher matters. I mean, you could kill baddies without too many direct hits, but I could kill them easily with a Suppressor as well. The current lasher has more shots, higher orb speed, but almost no lash.

Yeah I played PS YEARS ago, no idea what revisions they've made since.
Back then the Lasher was stricly for hallway/corridor mop up duties. Taking it outside to shoot punks hiding behind trees was futile. The lashes would travel so SLOOOOW.

My outfit leader/friend is probably the most recognized lasher user in PS history. The old lasher was really good in certain circumstances and completely sucked at range. The new one is kind of meh all around, I'll take an MCG over it any day.

Lancer was so much fun to mop up tanks and whatnot, good times. Never used the Lasher much, preferred running medic/engi role.
