Those fleeting moments of joy, hilarity, awesome and schadenfreude.

Postby Wyld Karde » Mon Jan 14, 2013 9:11 am

My very first spawn in Planetside.  Nobody else from RT was on so I just let the game put me in a default squad and warzone and dropped in.  A few seconds of descent, just enough to recognize that WASD lets me steer and I'm groundside.
Then I'm looking at my corpse.  Someone in the enemy faction was really fast on the trigger.  From drop pod to respawn in .1 seconds.  Set the tone for the game session, I felt.  ;D

Much later, rolling around in a Sunderer with Andon and Gandalf in my turret slots, we spot a group of infiltrators trying to sneak into the base we're operating from.  Tank shock time!  Then I noticed the tag on one of 'em.  "His name's xKillorzx," I said over comms, "Being teabagged by an APC is the least he deserves."
Got some blood on the treads that time, I can tell yer.

Then we got a bit lost, drove straight through an enemy base, went "AAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!" and somehow came out in one piece on the other side :p

See you on Tuesday I hope!

I particularly liked the moment there when you yelled "TANK! TANK! TANK!" in a near panic.  There were indeed exactly three tanks trying to bring their guns to bear on our erratic Sunderer.
How the hell we got away with that, I don't know.

May be sooner than Tuesday, btw.  I dropped in for an informal knock about this morning and was lucky enough to hook up with an SL who knew what he was doing.  We reconquered the continent and I earned enough certs to get my Sunderer deploy addoon.  Planning to take it for a spin later.

That sunderer deploy addon is fantastic. When you get it in the right spot, the xp just rolls in...

Also, I'm game for some fun later today
