@Mast You play Planetside 2 as well?

kleinfreund

Heya.

Ethan Bierlein

Hello

Mast

@EthanBierlein I used to be part of NNG on Mattherson (pre server-merge), I'm not very active at the moment.

Hi @kleinfreund

Ethan Bierlein

Ah. I actually just started playing over a month ago. Still learning some of the game.

Been having some good times with it too. Especially when I can get my friends on one big Skype call and then we can just go destroy a rival faction.

Jeroen Vannevel

Planetside 2 is amazing

I used to play it for a bit 1 or 2 years ago

Teaming up with an alliance and assaulting that little fortress in the center of one of the planets with dozens of humvees, tanks and helis is so cool

Certainly when it's a three-way. One big pile of mess

Ethan Bierlein

13:20

@JeroenVannevel I've only had that happen once so far. It was pretty messy. It was fun as well. Didn't last long though.

Jeroen Vannevel

No luck then. I've had fights there that lasted for hours

Duga

@SonerGönül, well this code isn't working. And Code Review wants working code. So no, I'd not recommend Code Review. — Emz 40 secs ago

Jeroen Vannevel

400-500 people in total from all factions

Ethan Bierlein

Dang

Dan Pantry

NNG?

Also, this is some serious gadget porn (SFW)

Ethan Bierlein

13:22

The biggest fight I ever got in was the one I described last night to @Zak

Jeroen Vannevel

Also pretty cool is when everybody takes one of those big fighter suits and you fill 2-3 transport planes with them. Then you go around capturing bases

Ethan Bierlein

There were only about 110 people total. 100 on the ground, 10 in the air. All at a bio lab.

Mast

@JeroenVannevel Everyone to the Crown!

Jeroen Vannevel

Or when you hear about a convoy coming your way and you set up a trap in a canyon where they would pass through.. I've had that happen to me. Difficult to get out of

Dan Pantry

What is NNG? I feel like I am missing out D:

Jeroen Vannevel

13:23

@Mast The crown! That's what I was looking for

Ethan Bierlein

The transport planes (galaxies) are pretty neat. They're rather expensive to spawn in though, and you have to make sure there are other people around.

Dan Pantry

All google says is National Numbers Gorup

Mast

@DanPantry No Nonsense Gamers, an outfit playing BF and PS2

Among others.

nononsensegamers.com/index.php

Dan Pantry

like Syndicate, then?

Vogel612

Arqade anyone?

Dan Pantry

13:24

Of course thats blocked.

Ethan Bierlein

Oh, that's right, I still need to join an outfit in Ps2.

Vogel612

or am I misunderstanding things again?

Ethan Bierlein

Here, I can create a separate room. One sec

Mast

@Vogel612 We're talking games here, yes. But there's no site business going on.

@EthanBierlein Good idea.

Vogel612

true, but ^ that

Mast

13:26

@EthanBierlein We used to load magriders on top of them ^^

Vogel612

when you start about games, it's almost guaranteed to become something longer, because everyone can / could contribute

Dan Pantry

I really, really want my graphics card. Now. :(

Ethan Bierlein

Lol, I saw a funny meme regarding mag riders the other day. I'll see if I can find it.

Mast

@DanPantry It will be there tomorrow, right?

Dan Pantry

@Mast Tomorrow morning, yes.

Mast

13:26

@EthanBierlein Create the darn room first.

Dan Pantry

beep boop

Ethan Bierlein

room topic changed to Gaming Chat: Polite chat about video games and such. [gamez-ftw] [planetside-2]

boop beep

Dan Pantry

> Polite chat

Change the title to "Brainfuck chat". dank maymay

Mast

@EthanBierlein NNG and AT practised with putting entire squads and/or magriders on Galaxies.

Ethan Bierlein

I'm sure it's quite an interesting experience, running around in one of those with an entire squad.

Mast

13:29

If you put a couple of Anti-Air MAX units on a galaxy with some engineers and one or two medics, you're a AA fortress.

And if you fly doubledecker they won't see you coming ^^

Ethan Bierlein

Ooh, I should try that.

Mast

What server are you on @EthanBierlein?

Vogel612

← 46 messages moved from The 2nd Monitor

Mast

Do you play as well @DanPantry?

Ethan Bierlein

For some reason I chose the Australian server, Briggs, but the connections are fine.

I'm part of the New Conglomerate

Dan Pantry

13:32

@Mast No :)

kleinfreund

Heya. :)

Gaming is the topic, huh?

Mast

Welcome all :)

Ethan Bierlein

Chat about games, yes. :)

Dan Pantry

pcmasterrace-room

Mast

@JeroenVannevel What server are you on?

kleinfreund

13:33

So I played a few hours of Shovel Knight the other day.

Dan Pantry

"Do you play"? "No" "what server are you on"

? :D

Mast

@DanPantry Huh? That should've linked to Jeroen...

Ethan Bierlein

room topic changed to Gaming Chat: Polite chat about video games and such. [gamez-ftw] [pc-master-race] [planetside-2]

kleinfreund

Hm, can we please not act as if PC gaming is the only valid option for gaming?

Dan Pantry

I might do a stream of AC after I get my 970 - or a video on it - thoughts?

Ethan Bierlein

13:34

@Mast What server are you on? And what faction do you play as?

Dan Pantry

@kleinfreund its not the only valid option, just clearly the superior one /s

Ethan Bierlein

@kleinfreund Don't worry. ;)

Mast

@kleinfreund That's only available on consoles right?

kleinfreund

@Mast Didn't check since all I have is a PC. :x

Mast

@EthanBierlein Vanu, on Emerald it's named now I think.

Mast

@kleinfreund Typing is hard. MEssed up.

Dan Pantry

@EthanBierlein lol

kleinfreund

Oh well.

Dan Pantry

To be fair some console games are close to my heart

kleinfreund

I'm going to idle a bit, preparring to get in a review. :~)

Dan Pantry

13:36

The Pokemon franchise before they milked it more than a dairy cow

And FFX

Ethan Bierlein

@Mast I actually have a character on Emerald as a part of the a any Sovereignty. I don't ever use it though.

@DanPantry You want to talk about milking a franchise? Try angry birds. ;D

Dan Pantry

@EthanBierlein I can honestly say I have never played that game

Ethan Bierlein

Anyway, bbl in a little bit. You guys enjoy your nice chat. :)

Mast

@DanPantry Super Smash Brothers

FFX and FFXII were great.

I played the online variant in demo for 14 days or so, FFIV, but it costs more than I have time to play it IMO.

kleinfreund

Oh, yeah, do you guys know Crypt of the NecroDancer?

Mast

13:42

Never heard of, but it looks creative.

kleinfreund

It is a lot of fun, but also hard.

Hard but not frustrating, that is.

Shovel Knight on the other hand was pretty frustrating. :/

Ethan Bierlein

Alright, back.

I can add you guys as ROs, would that be fine?

Feeds

Ethan Bierlein has added Dan Pantry to the list of this room's owners.

Ethan Bierlein has added Mast to the list of this room's owners.

Ethan Bierlein has added kleinfreund to the list of this room's owners.

Ethan Bierlein

There you go. :)

Alright. I'm going to go play some Ps2. I'll be back in a while.

Mast

13:59

I'll be playing a round when I'm back at home as well probably.

kleinfreund

I'm going to drink a tea. Later!

Jeroen Vannevel

14:26

@Mast I'll let you know in exactly one month when I'm back home

Mast

@JeroenVannevel I'll kill you if your colour isn't the same as mine.

Ethan Bierlein

no shit ;)

my faction is already different than yours, so you'll be killing me too

Mast

I probably have a character slot left somewhere, so we could even start a Code Review outfit.

Ethan Bierlein

yasss

of course, the Ps2 devs still haven't implemented server swaps, so some of us would need to make new characters

Mast

Yup.

Ethan Bierlein

14:34

bah

Jeroen Vannevel

My colour?

Let's not make this about race

I'm the blue guys

Mast

No, it's about politics and religion.

Jeroen Vannevel

New Coalition?

Ethan Bierlein

@JeroenVannevel oh yah

Mast

@JeroenVannevel Almost

Ethan Bierlein

14:35

@JeroenVannevel *Conglomerate

Jeroen Vannevel

yeah. NC BITCHES

Mast

Stupid smurfs.

PS2 is basically Elmo vs Smurfs vs Spandex

2

Jeroen Vannevel

Although I noticed that my character got reset. Or I had to make a new account? I don't know. But it shows that I played this game a long time ago

Ethan Bierlein

silly laser-shooters, we blue buddies have real guns, like real men

Jeroen Vannevel

and I made a new acc about 6 months back to play for a few hours again

Ethan Bierlein

14:36

that's even better

besides, blue is sort of Code Review's thing

Mast

@EthanBierlein Agreed.

Ethan Bierlein

so if we all chose the new cong., then we'd be even moar CR

Mast

If we start a CR outfit, it should definitely be blue.

Ethan Bierlein

yah know what

let me get this outfit set up

now I just have to figure out how this is done

Dan Pantry

even my hair is blue :)

Mast

14:40

I actually have 2 accounts merged into 1. EU used to have a different account system.

Ethan Bierlein

gosh darnit

Jeroen Vannevel

@Mast that's probably where I lost my account, I think. When they merged those things mine wasn't being transferred I guess

Ethan Bierlein

google is of no help

Mast

@JeroenVannevel You may still be able to make a request. You never know.

Ethan Bierlein

alright, what do we want to name this outfit? Code Review? Something like that?

Mast

14:44

> all you have to do is leave any you may be part of now, click create outfit, invite some of the people you are referencing (in other words you have to know their IGN).

Yea, Code Review is fine with me.

Unless you have a better idea?

Ethan Bierlein

I was thinking just plain "Code Review", or maybe "Team Code Review"

I feel like the latter is somewhat cheesy

unless people like it

Mast

Don't make it a team, make it a squadron or a company if you go that route.

Ethan Bierlein

ah, alright.

Code Review it is

Jeroen Vannevel

Intergalactic Empire Code Review

Aim big

Ethan Bierlein

too late

Mast

14:45

@JeroenVannevel That would be if we're playing Red.

Ethan Bierlein

unless you can change the name

Mast

My current outfit is called Epsilon. They have a dolphin as decal...

Don't ask, I don't know either.

Ethan Bierlein

let me go find our new logo, we can use that as the decal

Mast

Nobody in it though, except me and a couple inactives.

@EthanBierlein Can you import logos now? That would be awesome.

Ethan Bierlein

hmm, spoke too soon

Mast

14:47

There's a developer thing going on where you can create your own thing and put it up in the store for sale. But afar from that.

Ethan Bierlein

Yeah, I don't have any DB cash though

anyways

it's on the briggs server, under the New Conglomerate

maybe if someone with some DB cash joins we can get a logo.

Mast

I think I still have some. If it becomes a thing it's definitely worth it, but let's see what happens.

Ethan Bierlein

alright, cool

Mast

I'll be home in 2 hours or so. Have to kick my server a little first, but I'll be there.

Ethan Bierlein

awesome

Mast

14:51

Wait, Briggs?

Why Briggs?

That's 300ms away from me or so.

Ethan Bierlein

how does one determine that

Jeroen Vannevel

What are the server names? To know which I'm using

Mast

Well, Briggs is in Australia. That's literally half the world around from where I live (give or take).

Ethan Bierlein

lol, same here

Mast

America is 100ms or so, that's doable.

Ethan Bierlein

14:52

somewhat

Jeroen Vannevel

I notice multiple europeans and one american

PROBLEM SOLVED

Ethan Bierlein

gosh darnit ps2 devs, add the ability to swap servers!

Mast

European servers are 30ms for me, but I don't like having Germans and French as squad leads.

Jeroen Vannevel

Don't worry, we've got a perfectly capable belgian right here

Mast

So I have nothing against going American, but I don't see a reason to go Australian.

Yet.

Ethan Bierlein

14:53

I dunno, those Australians are pretty vicious from what I can tell

of course, I haven't played on any american servers yet though

actually, I just checked. Briggs is around to 260ms away from me.

i have no idea how I've been managing to play with that kind of delay

except

somehow I still got to level 13

Ethan Bierlein

15:10

meh, we can decide this later

Ethan Bierlein

20:03

woot

back

have about 2 1/4 hours to do something

Mast

Pick a server

Ethan Bierlein

well... that's the dilemma

Mast

Why is that a dilemma?

Ethan Bierlein

if we do an EU server, it'll be fast for you and Jeroen, but rather slow for me, and vice versa with the US.

if we do the AU server, then it's slow for everyone

Mast

So pick an American server and be done with it.

Ethan Bierlein

20:08

okay

sounds good

Mast

My lvl 51 Vanu is on Emerald, so, I'm used to it.

@JeroenVannevel Objections?

Ethan Bierlein

and I guess I can just play my lvl 14 Cong when we aren't fighting as an outfit

And, who knows. I may use the outfit character so often that it'll replace my current main

Mast

Yea, who knows.

Are you East or West coast?

East is best for our ping.

Ethan Bierlein

I'm central.

Mast

Average 100-110ms

Which is very playable.

Ethan Bierlein

20:11

I chose east

let me just check and verify that real quick

Mast

So, Emerald or Jaeger

Ethan Bierlein

Okay, the server is Emerald

faction is New Conglomerate

And I think I'm going to take @JeroenVannevel's suggestion for the outfit's name

Alright, everything should be setup

Jeroen Vannevel

You guys just do whatever you feel like -- I can only play in 30 days anyway

I'll join in when I'm home

Ethan Bierlein

Wot

my battle rank is already at 3 and I haven't done a single thing

I somehow now have 210 certs as well

Mast

Wut, shiny

Can't find the outfit, what's it named?

Ethan Bierlein

20:22

Intergalactic Empire Code Review

Mast

Is it open for new members?

Ethan Bierlein

Hmm, let me chexk

Mast

`<== MoarCannons, pass me an invie

Ethan Bierlein

How does one pass an invite?

Nvm

done

Alright, I just spawned in a nice galaxy

Well shit

How does one speak in outfit chat?

/me = still noob

Jeroen Vannevel

20:40

T? Y? U?

Those are the typical chat buttons

Mast

/outfitsay

Ethan Bierlein

i got it ;)

Ethan Bierlein

23:38

Hey @Mast I was thinking of getting my friend to join our outfit. Is that cool?

Mast

Does he have a CR account?

Get him at least an account and it's allright ^^

Ethan Bierlein

Right... Nevermind. xD

I think he knows how to program pretty well though.

Mast

The account doesn't have to be used much, but if we want this to be a CR outfit we should at least get everyone on CR.

Ethan Bierlein

Agreed

and maybe once in a while we can make an exception if the circumstances are right

Mast

Power is irrelevant.

Ethan Bierlein

23:48

Never mind then

Mast

In NNG, we had a very good player: Vonic

Ethan Bierlein

Poof

Mast

When he assaulted a tower as a light assault, he made so many kills he was accused of hacking.

Overall KDA above 5, that kind of guy.

Ethan Bierlein

Wow

yeah

Mast

That's cool and all, but you need some teamwork to make that useful or leave him alone.

Ethan Bierlein

23:50

Yup. We can't have an outfit full of lone wolves
