It really depends on who is piloting the mechs. A good IS 12 man is certainly more of a challenge than partial group/pug mixes on the clan border, but the toughest matches I've ever played have been against JGx, SJR, or 228 groups on the clan border.

I totally agree about the design issue thing though. I made a CW suggestions thread a while back about slowing down the planet capping process to make it feel like more of a battle. A lot more ticks to take a planet, and not having the percentage reset at ceasefires was one of the main things I was trying to get out there. I think 3 day battles of a planet going back and forth before one side finally won the tug-o-war would be much more epic and satisfying

the reason they segmented it is because people were getting frustrated when they completely took a planet to find they lost it all because the other side ghost dropped in the final hours, it also meant a particular time zone would have the most dominant sway over what planet is attacked at the start of the attack faze and the final fight to take the planet, everyone else most of the time would find there actions fairly insignificant or at least belittled buy the players who play around the cease fire stage.

an alternative might be to have the long attack fazes with consistent points, but have different planets being attacked at different times, so if you have a regular time you play around then you can fight for the same planet wile not finding the balance has shifted 75+ percent in the other direction.

Us pugs are trying our hardest, and it's working.

Your help is very appreciated. Thank you guys!

@ Frost Lord, yea thats why I said to not have the percentage reset every 8 hours and up the amount of ticks on a planet. It would make ceasefires and time zones irrelevant.

well it would because if you are somewhere in the middle you will find everything you did for nort and there will be one time zone that will decide every planet, every time, but if each time zone fights on a different planet then it will be more personal aswell as being longer

Thank you and good luck to all those brave warriors defending luthien.

let us smash this clan scum.

I like all the guys making alts so they can be involved in attacking us.... A precedent they should maybe not set.

[Sandersson Jankins]

If the fight is still going on in the next hours or days, I'll be there to help with whatever (whoever) I can bring.

The regular combine players have been good enough to their foreign fighters in-game for me to stay.

[SteelWarrior]

46% @ Luthien. Pour it on boys!

[Reitmeier]

The DCMS thanks all brave warriors that help us defending Luthien. This shows me that you dont need any sort of "League" to fight together for one goal and restores some faith in the IS community for me.
And to all fake accounts:
I am not suprised that some of you are going to do this after the last weeks. Because you are hiding behind these fake accounts it is quiet useless to point the finger at someone and I am not gonna do this. You choose this ROAD to settle old scores and thats fine. I know it is useless but maybe you should ask yourself what lack of honour this shows to the rest of the IS and for what you are really figthing for?

[xX PUG Xx]

Well I would go online to help defend your capital BUT...

I have read so many times that Davion has the worst PuG players and simply feel that my efforts would not be welcome, regardless of the outcome.

So I think I'll leave you to it.

As the old saying goes "You reap what you sow"

But good luck and I hope you kick the Clans back to the Periphery.

[Alexander Steel]

Maybe they were saying that Davion has the worst player, Pug?

[zortesh]

I feel everyone involved in this battle should get a defender of luthien title.

Being as we are the ones fighting the first and so far only battle for a faction capital.

Yeah, kinda like the people who participated in the largest battles for EVE. This is a momentous event that deserves to be remembered.

You were saying? This screen shot was taken on Luthien 2 minutes ago. Certainly doesnt look like Marik/Davion trying to piss in our spring roll (sarcasm here). And 12 trial mech clanners working as a team can easily stomp an IS pug....These guys were pretty good for using stock crap.

That was stupidly funny. Truly. The names on those guys. God I wish I'd been on to play tonight. The pirate schtick. Please let them stay around.

Woah Mischief your not allowed in this thread, Kurita doesnt fight clans remember.

Nah, it's okay.

You've got mercs from all over the IS doing the heavy lifting for you

[Reitmeier]

Oh and behalf of House Kurita (unofficially), Davion can kiss our asses



RJ dropping on Luthien as a Jag Alt account. Disgusting behavoiur Davion, and you guys always be like "yo brah, why dont you fight Clanners ever bro?"
