  1. Heh.. funny that I'm not the only one to listen to music when I fly... Not so much a song than a decade... For Reals Yo...
  2. Seriously... when was the last update to GSF? How that glass half full approach work when the glass is empty?
  3. What about GSF?!!? I understand it probably wasn't what EA was expecting, but there are a lot of us still playing that aspect that would LOVE to know you have plans for it in the future. Hard to keep playing something you know doesn't have any focus... thank god it's at least a solidly built aspect of this game...
  4. Ok, I haven't posted a record in a while (sorry, been lazy).... but thought I would post this... you can imagine my frustration right about now. (Honorable mention to Torgar for saving the match for his team) Deathmatch End By Timer Cekis - S13-Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 41/46 Kills & Assists (89.1%) Cekis - S13-Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 38 Kills (remove Optikill) Scout - Deathmatch Cekis - S13-Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 41 Kills & Assists (remove Optikill) Cekis - S13-Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 133,922 Total Damage
  5. I saw this today as well... I can say first off that I've GSF'd a LOT less for a few reasons. The two biggest are lack of conquest goals (i.e. conquest is ruling the roost at the moment) and second, the new expansion plus 12x XP gain is pulling me away as well. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'm growing more and more frustrated with the lack of support or even MENTION of GSF from the dev team about ANYTHING of GSF to be supported long term which has made it all that much easier to NOT play it. What could be better than Cross Server queue's? Cross faction teams maybe? However good, I still can't quite see it being better. I feel like they just don't have the data to get a solid understanding of what's plaguing GSF participation and they're shooting in the dark as to what might improve participation. They'd know if they concentrated on it... i.e. - go fix things - such as the combat log, add more data logging for your own usage, etc. Those two things can expose a few things AND build participation. If they fixed the damn combat logs you would start to see a lot of parsing support (i.e. I know I would build something!), which in turn would build a larger community. Unfortunately, until certain things are changed (fixed, whatever), this mini-game will continue to starve itself. Here's a nugget... do you know that if they simply changed how players are logged from ID's to a label such as a name/server combo we would be able to build a leaderboard and maintain a REAL record system? Just ONE SIMPLE LITTLE CHANGE as that would allow this to happen. From that, I could build a web site that you could UPLOAD YOUR COMBAT LOG TO... it would parse out the log, save your stats and record your records (i.e. most healing, most damage, times you used, say, Barrel Roll, etc.)... But ya, can't do that until it gets changed. I do consider it a bug because they already do that for ground pounders.:rak_02::rak_02:
  6. There are issues with this on a few levels: Increasing Fleet Req and Ship Req simply means fliers can get their ships mastered faster. It does not mean you'll have more people playing... it does not mean you're solving a problem. You're just getting them mastered ships faster. The SINGLE biggest issue with getting ships faster is that the game is STILL based on SKILL and the following things: The ability to understand moving in 3D space while maintaining a solid understanding of your surroundings. The awareness of balancing engine power with fire power and shield power. How to remember your specials and when they're good/bad and for what purposes. There are a lot of other things to knowing how to get the most out of GSF to make you competitive that a mastered ship simply does not provide you. You get it from EXPERIENCE... no guide or XP buff can help you know how to fly, what to fly or how to operate your ship. OK, so you can't fix the "problem" by throwing a buff at it. You will only do so on a temporary basis if at all. I get why you're doing this... I get you think "if people only try it long enough" that they will stick with it. Nope... not the case. You've got to fix the main issues before and it's not fleet req. It's support. Support GSF... make it something more than "just a thing you do"... make it a competitive game... make it so you can officially see how you stack up against others... give rewards, titles, achievements for this... it can't POSSIBLY be harder than what it was for PvP to do this... and, if I remember correctly, you probably had the same staff, if not smaller, than what you do now... just have to get the hats to approve it. I think if you do this, boost the req a LITTLE, add shared q'ing (cross server) and possibly make GSF legacy wide with the ability to 'cash out' your req, I think you'll find there is a LOT more interest in this absolute GEM of a mini-game (yes, I love it... and continue to love it). ...and.. you might take a look at balance a bit, but that's debatable.
  7. Just do the same things for GSF that you do for PvP... leaderboards, ranked, etc. You have enough people playing it to justify the equality... don't you?!!?
  8. Hiya Bok! Long time no see! Most of us are on the imp side... well... the few that are on Harbie full time anyway... We're in DESPAIR (one hell of a GSF guild)... look us up!
  9. Aw Tux... you're overlooking the need for some characters on your acct to have it and others to not have it. How's the gang?
  10. Good lord... so glad to be on a server with a large population that knows how to play... more power to you and PoT5 brother! REMEMBER DECEMBER!!! (lol - had to)
  11. Ya, I'll bet... when we left, we left a big hole. Not necessarily in skill, but definitely in quantity. I too RESPECT Scrab very much, but I'm astonished at the "legendary" status he has. He flies a very powerful scout... and flies it well, but not so well that he can't be beat. I consider him a friend so I mean that with the utmost respect, but let's not go overboard by proclaiming his sainthood. I actually very much agree with this - on all aspects. Nice to be mentioned, but when it comes down to it, ya, these threads are popularity contests.
  12. Haven't posted in a while... been conquesting... this one really isn't a big deal, but hey, what the heck? Cekis - S-13 Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 23 Kill Streak Ugh... had a 17 medal scout match too, but bah, stupid screenshot bug.
  13. Ya... this likely isn't due to a legal restriction or a circumstance that is out of their control. It's probably due to a data or software issue they introduced with Strongholds. In that case, ya, they're liable.
  14. Why is it the sickest records don't have proof they're legit?!?! It's a shame these efforts go missing... I really wish BW would get things together and just make a records leaderboard on their own so somebody forgetting (or prevented from) taking a screenie of the perf tab (or chat box) doesn't continue to happen. Great job by the way... if anything, very impressive even for overall.
  15. I'm torn on this - mostly because I don't think we have it easily accessible... won't it need to be calculated? I think that leaves a lot of room for error and a lot of responsibility for validation on Camel.
  16. Team Deathmatch: Joray - Flashfire - THE JAWAS ORDER - The Harbinger - 160.4 DPS (remove Optikill) Domination: Cekis - S-13 Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 27 Kills (remove C'ekis) Cekis - S-13 Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 40 Kills and Assists (remove Joray) Cekis - S-13 Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 13 Assists
  17. "This game sucks!! I'm going to go play something I can win at without even TRYING so THERE!!" Yawn.
  18. To add even more fun... you can have MULTIPLE LEGACIES on ONE ACCOUNT. That means... Legacy Storage on "Legacy A" cannot share with characters on "Legacy B"... to put it more simply... Legacies are bound to servers... all characters on server "A" will be on one legacy (with storage)... and all characters on server "B" will reside on a different legacy (with different storage)... regardless if they're on the same account. Therefore, you can't share between servers - even WITH legacy storage...
  19. I crossed the streams then... my bad. Ya, I think it was late.... d'oh.
  20. Love you man... but the point isn't that you've got backers... it's that we all follow the same rule in order to maintain the integrity of the records. Think of it this way... if you and your friends ran a race on one track, but everybody else was in another... Now, say you ran a race on that track with your buddies and you ran REALLY FREAKIN' FAST - breaking the world record time. However, everybody else ran "normal" time on the main track. It's not like you can just waltz on to the other track and say, "I just SMOKED all of you and I can prove it because I had friends time me!" and have it be legit - EVEN IF YOU REALLY DID IT. Sucks because you really did run that fast... but it can't be legit unless it was official. In this case, there's no proof that it was official. Sorry man... but I've been on the blunt end of that screenshot bug many times - AND the one where I didn't get the perf tab. Rather than submit that sweet record, I just let it go knowing I'll probably get that record again some other day. So... just keep running that race and have faith that you'll run really freakin' fast on the same track as everybody else... when you do, make sure to have another screenshot program running... just in case.
  21. Noticed this... Armondd is listed twice (once as Ar'mond and once as Yuuko-san): KILLS AND ASSISTS Kill Streak 1. Ar'mond - Sting - <Eclipse Squadron> - The Ebon Hawk - 34 Kill Streak 2. Drakolich - Mangler - Obsidian Squadron - The Bastion - 33 Kill Streak 3. Pincer - Jurgoran - Obsidian Squadron - The Bastion - 30 Kill Streak 4. Yuuko-san - IL-5 Skybolt - Damage Overcharge - The Ebon Hawk - 29 Kill Streak 5. Optikill - S-13 Sting - Despair - The Harbinger - 26 Kill Streak
  22. No worries at all. Based on the conversation about his records between Fractal, myself and Armondd saying "you would agree" then having it show up I thought this thread was done. Since you're sticking to your rules I really have nothing to complain about. THAT being said, I know Armondd is a great vet pilot... I don't doubt that can be achieved (or that he can achieve it) and will commend ANY pilot that can show - without a DOUBT - that they did smash records... BUT... I STRONGLY (duh) feel we all need to stick to the same baseline if this means anything at all... sorry for the drama and thanks for sticking to your guns.
  23. Look, I've been on this thread for a long time... you've always stuck to your guns about what is allowed and what isn't allowed regarding ship-specific records - up until now. I'm actually pretty surprised you allowed a record to go into the ship specific records without the PROPER proof that it was real. To me, that's a lack of integrity and by allowing that record(s) to be put there struck down the solid integrity that you once had with this list. Based on this, I'm no longer going to participate (I'm taking my toys and going home). Please remove any records you have listed for Cekis, C'ekis, Joray and Optikill. Thanks for something that once was fun and enjoyable.
