Title: PlanetSide 2 HLP Outfit
Post by: SpardaSon21 on February 27, 2013, 03:54:52 pm
Since there's interest, I thought I'd create a thread for us so its all in one place and I can just go make a list in the first post of everyone involved.  Post here if you're interested!

Tentative faction and server choices are Vanu on Mattherson, a U.S. East server.

Anyone have any preferred names for it?  I'd just as soon call us "Hard Light Productions" with the [HLP] tag since that's a nice descriptive umbrella with no messy factional disputes arising from using mod-related names.  There have already been issues like that regarding an HLP squadron for Star Citizen, and I'd really like to not start those here.

Outfit Name: Hard Light Productions
Tag: [GTVA]
Member List:
SpardaSon21 - SpardaSon21VS, Leader
Spoon - PrometheusR, Officer
PhantomHoover - PhantomHoover, Member
Scourge of Ages - Aughisky, Member
Firstdragon34 - SnowOmni, Member
BritishShivans - BritishShivans, Member
Kobrar44 - Kobrar44, Member

If you're on while I'm on, go send me a message and a friend request and I'll get you set up.

I would probably be interested.

My main character is NC on Soltech (Matherson soon) US East.
I have an alt who is VS on Lithcorp (Cobalt soon) EU. I could be convinced, if necessary, to re-create her on Matherson though, I haven't spent any certs yet.

I'd be up for that. I main as NC on Connery but I've been meaning to get into the VS for a while.

I've made a VS character on Mattherson with the name of SpardaSon21VS (original, I know).  Unless there are any objections with the name, faction, or server, sometime Sunday night my time (PST/GMT-8), I'll just make an Outfit named Hard Light Productions with the tag [HLP].

Which continent will we be based on? My NC is based in Indar, and I think it would be weird for me to fight against... me, or at least my old outfit.
:snipe: (<- this is me)

I didn't think we had to be actually based on a continent given we can just warpgate to wherever we want.  If you want a specific continent though, I haven't fought long enough on Amerish to develop an opinion of it, but I am fond of Esamir's open spaces for easy vehicle use.

I mean that it would be better to have a "base" continent, to make it easy to figure out where the rest of the outfit is. Esamir sounds good to me, I'll try to create a VS sometime later today.

Actually, let's all go fight on Amerish because there's more than one tech plant on there so there's actually a chance for epic tank battles in narrow canyonways where HA can start sniping from the rocks.

Alright, nobody has said any objections to anything I've chosen, so we'll go be Hard Light Productions with tag [GTVA] as Vanu on Mattherson since HLP is already in use as a tag, the bastards.

New char is up, and already moving along. We had the whole continent to our platoon, for about an hour before a huge TR platoon showed up. Then I had to log and sleep.

Name: Aughisky
Specialty: Heavy? Medic? Engi? All of the above?

How bad can the lag be from EU?
Title: Re: PlanetSide 2 HLP Outfit
Post by: SpardaSon21 on March 04, 2013, 12:08:33 pm
From the EU to the Eastern U.S.?  I'd say it all depends on how well your local infrastructure is connected to the rest of the Internet.  I know Destiny who lives in Singapore hasn't complained about connection lag when connecting to Waterson.

I'm up for it if the ping from the UK is acceptable.
Title: Re: PlanetSide 2 HLP Outfit

I highly doubt ping will be an issue for you from the U.K. to the Eastern U.S. :P

It isn't.
Title: Re: PlanetSide 2 HLP Outfit
Post by: SpardaSon21 on March 05, 2013, 01:21:13 pm
Then go and make a character on Mattherson then since we're playing on a U.S. East server so NA and Europe both have acceptable pings.

Kobrar44 on Mattherson. Ping is quite annoying during duels, but in larger fight it doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

So are we actually going to... do something?
Title: Re: PlanetSide 2 HLP Outfit
Post by: Scourge of Ages on March 08, 2013, 03:06:53 pm
We did. Did you miss it?

I haven't been on in a few days myself, had other things going. But next time I am, I'll try to post here.

We're not a big enough outfit to "do" things yet, I think. So just when you log in, go to squad search, turn on the outfit filter, and join any squad that one of us are in. That seems to be about the limit of things we could really "do", unless there are enough of us at once to form a kickin' Scythe wing.

EDIT: I'll be online in about 45 minutes from now (@3:10 PST)
