I'm going to tell you the same thing I told myself back when Gallente were getting mopped up.

Htfu.

But let me expand on that. You Caldari guys need to organize better and junk. I guarantee that if you organize better than us, you will have better wins. We have blueberries who don't know what they're doing and then we have squads of players who work towards a goal together. Fill your battles with organize squads and use team chat. Even if you lose, the experience and the actual gameplay gets enhanced. It's like working in PC but with less familiarity of your team and getting unknown factors thrown in.

:/ I honestly want you guys to do better so that I can say, "You deserve that one" or something of the sort when you win or at least make for an exciting battle.

Everyone just wants freedom and anti slavery, I hate the amarr and caldari premises but they look cool as shi* and I use basically only amarr and some caldari suits & weapons (conveniently so I only have to fight for one side)

This ^^^

False

SCR is still way more OP than the CR.

The enslavement of an entire race? Check.

The torture and poisoning of an entire race simply because a Totem Pole willed it? Check.

The ability to lock a woman in my household and tell yourself that she truly wants to be there while pretending that you actually want to free her simultaneously. Check.

I would go much further, but I've got HAV/AV threads to tend to.

See, it's like M.A.G.

Minmatar are the, lorewise, underdogs that rose up. Now they're dominating. It's a very appealing side.

I thought they went through that whole "indentured servitude" thing?

I could easily be wrong; I just play the game.

That's what i'm talking about. They used to be. People hear that and it's like "**** YEAH!"

Unless your saying that only a small part of them were a part of that "indentured servitude" thing. Then i'd think it'd be a little bit of something else i've yet to fully think out.

I would like to also state that not all Amarr players are non team players, or stat padders. Hell half of my corp supports the amarr faction for either gear, meta gaming, or for the hell of it. I dont even hate amarr (Hence my avatar) but I hate reading threads about easy mode just because people cant work together, I heard enough about easy mode in MAG about the SVER faction. It wasnt their fault Zipper made a crappy balance and SVER had the better weapons and maps. Deciding to sum up all of your issues with your faction by saying the enemy team is easy mode is inaccurate at best. Its like me saying that Teamplayers in their prime was easy mode, or better yet Imperfects. Which are all false statements, and maybe you guys need to find a better solution than to whine. Do as some of these people above me have suggested, make channels, advertise, and promote your faction. Get the people actually trying to win together, this is what this game is all about correct? Bringing people together for a certain cause, its why we have a sandbox community, so we can do whatever the hell we want. Start by getting a solid squad together that can get things done, then move on to eight people, then start a channel and advertise that you are trying to win for the Amarr faction. You dont need to be all in the same corp, but you can still work together. Reason why Im offering suggestion is because I am too tired of the Min/Amarr conflict being one sided, I would like a challenge.

WAIT! HOLD THE PHONE! I reread this and it's making a whole lot more sense.

When you said "planetside yes, space side no" you must've meant "dominating" while I had thought you were talking about being "underdogs".

In that post of mine, I was saying that they used to be underdogs; an enslaved race or all that other fluff.

The "Now they're dominating" was another thought entirely. By that I mean that now since they're doing so well in Dust people notice that and are getting in on that stompage.

Like M.A.G. where SVER was the lowest on the totem pole, had duc-...grip tape on their guns, and used a "brothers and comrades" type thing and people were in. Then they just started dominating the game and people vetted over to 'em. It got to the point where there was always twice as many SVER than there were Valor or Raven. DUST 514 isn't at that point yet, I don't think, but Scotty being frightened to incompetence at the sight of all of the Matari is...unsettling.

Haha Minmatar FW is anything but easy mode. The Amarr whip ass and that's fact. Of course I'm not gonna give up but yeah not easy mode what so ever. Plus I picked Minmatar because I liked the idea of playing someone with tribal ideas; something not like USA. Honestly it was between Caldari and Minmatar, but I choose Minmatar. Playing Gallente would've been too easy and being Amarr just wasn't my thing.

I'll take a stab at it.

Clan Hannari is a fairly wealthy family of the Sebiestor Tribe from Eram II. No member of the clan has ever been enslaved by the Amarr but they have a history of service to the Republic in fighting against them and any others that threaten the tribe.

A cousin of mine, Wolf, was the first capsuleer of the clan. He got his start working for a Gallentean that brought his asteroid mining company to a nearby system. Eventually, Wolf was asked to start the Outriders to provide security for mining operations. As mining shifted to planetary operations the Outriders were freed up for militia duty.

Even though my family is wealthy every member starts at the bottom to earn their way. I was offered a position as a starship mechanic with the Red Rock Mining Company maintaining barges. When the CEO, Rees Noturana, was asked by Mordu to help quietly find a candidate or two for the Legion's secret immortal soldier program I was asked if I was interested. I packed up my mechanic's equipment without hesitation and headed off. That suit was one of the first models that became the Logistics M-I that we use today.

I dream of the day that I can return to Eram II, in a body based on my original, so that I can ride a horse across the high plains once again.

I never got that feel from Valor. I got the "we're a traditional group with awesome experience/have fun while doing it" vibe from them. Seemed the closest to modern military...Muricas' anyway. I think they were NA based to. Or was it Alsaskan? Then there's the sleeveless thing. Ya know what? It was a long time ago; can't remember.

Valor and Raven were pretty bland compared to SVER. Valor and Raven got actual training courses, but your SVER newbie had to go through what was just recently a battleground. "Initiation. HUHUHUHUH!" It's just too badass compared to the others.

Yup. That's mostly how I remember those game modes. Valor had Sabo, Raven had Acquisition all the time, and SVER stomped in Dom. I can't remember when and for how long Valor was just the scrubbiest place to be. I think it might have been from some point up until I left.


I'm really hoping Dust doesn't run that route.

At worst i'm hoping it's like how the "OP" side changed in M.A.G. Raven and Valor had their time in the spotlight, hopefully these factions get themselves in gear and are able to make a change.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I have back stories for all my pilots plus six years of recent events including interactions with various live events. I may not be extremely social but I still get involved in my own way. My focus is now on DUST but the pilots are still around doing their thing.

There are so many options for planetary environments you can just pick something. http://evemaps.dotlan.net is a great resource for picking a planet too. When all else fails just use Prator.

Was thinking the same thing, heck the Minmatar even have the SEVER (SVER) BPO dropsuit :p
