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.

Valor was supposed to have that feel, SVER were supposed to be the punk rebel type guys, and Raven the high tec best of the best feel.

I loved SVER simply because of the types of weapons they had, AK are my fav guns in any FPS, but Raven were by far the coolest in terms of aesthetics.

I also remember that, but the SVER kids were garbage at that Hijacking mode, and Raven were the **** at it, always retaining the contract bonuses for it, while valor fought with SVER over sabotage.

Now they're dominating. It's a very appealing side. I fight for them (and Gallente) because they have stuff I actually want. I'm not slogging through Amarr for some Drop Uplinks that are only 10,000ISK and some reppers and plates I can get out of the Gallente. My logi-code.

I thought they went through that whole "indentured servitude" thing? I could easily be wrong; I just play the game. My logi-code.

I thought they went through that whole "indentured servitude" thing? I could easily be wrong; I just play the game. They did, but currently they are sitting around playing the moody teenager card. Plus I'm simply bored of having to go through the whole Minmatar/ Amarr argument every couple of days for people who haven't looked into the lore. Its not fun. 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. My logi-code.

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. My logi-code.

Was thinking the same thing, heck the Minmatar even have the SEVER (SVER) BPO dropsuit :p And the Gallente have the Valor, while the Caldari have the Raven....... did you not know this? Yes I know this, own them but just don't use the Valor (lol scout) and Raven ones. That scout suit had sleeves. IT BELONGS TO NO VALOR I KNOW OF! My logi-code.
