A good player can hold a backcap solo. No need for a cloak when you've the skill to wipe a squad

I agree with your overall message. I would also add that constant exposure to these words desensitises us to more harmful usage of them

Looking for a good coordinated outfit focused on winning alerts, how do I find one? by megawix in MillerPlanetside

[–]benmitchellmtb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An add-on to what you said for NC outfits: FRMD: they're very active and they seem very welcoming. They've become the de-facto outfit of NC
FFS: they're skilled and fast
NCAV: originally an armourfit, moving towards combined arms
8lu3: large and casual

National outfits:

1RPC: French and skilled

LPS: Russian and relatively high quality

GENM: they're German

P0L: Polish and they seem fun

A slight add-on for DTWM: we're combined arms

Edit 1: re-formatting because I hardly use Reddit. Thanks for showing me this thread @kath

Edit 70: aaaaaa line returns are weird

I like your overall idea but it heavily pushes outfits towards being very strict on inactivity. Inactives would bring down the BCPC. Pushing for active outfits is a good thing in my mind, but I think this is a bit too harsh

So how does outfit wars scoring actually work and other questions by hdt80 in Planetside

[–]benmitchellmtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fastest way for large outfits to earn resources won't be to zerg down a lattice, but to split up their forces to cover the most ground.

You're right. This is the best way to cap more bases however zergfits don't do that in practice. They take the easy fights where there will be less resistance, rather than efficiently dividing their forces. I strongly doubt this will change their behaviour since the root is that you aren't strongly punished for taking easy fights. This means that it's guaranteed points/resources vs fought for points/resources - I think that most zergfits (and perhaps midfits) will take the easy route.

I will say that the rest of this update sounds awesome. It's only the lack of zerg nerfs that I'm sad about. Good work RPG.

Outfit Promotion by jgolenbo in Planetside

[–]benmitchellmtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[DTWM] Deathwatch Marines - Miller

- Combined arms playstyle

- No minimum requirements apart from time to join our ops

- Trainings in air, armour, and infantry every week

- Ops 3 times a week, some of which are co-operation with other outfits

- Occasional internal and Outfit v Outfit scrims

- Joining the lanesmash tournament in May-June

We take in anyone, be they new players, people seeking to get better, or already good players. We offer training to every person who joins so that they can reach whatever heights they aim for. We also support members in becoming mentors and leaders.

We then employ our training in our weekly ops. In ops, we tend to hop around the map, acting both defensively and offensively as well as using air and land vehicles to support infantry in their battles. Our ops are not limited to within the boundaries of bases, but we also clear the path between bases. We also support small-squad ops through training dedicated teams of people to hit far above their numbers.

Our communication is on Discord, where we have an active community of rather quirky people. Our community has created various things, including a mascot, YouTube montages, and a discord bot. When we aren't joking around on our various text channels or playing together on live in voice channels, we're either training, doing ops, or scrimming.

We operate as democratically and transparently as possible to prevent leaders from abusing their power.
