  1. Right now, you can count one hand the number of active players who A)Know all Damage Overcharge locations on all maps. B)Know the Engine Overcharge locations at Iokath. C) Can fly Strikes, Gunships and Scouts to devastating effect. D) Are known for flying solo. If I go make a new account right now, then stay totally quiet and don't speak to anyone, I give it all of 5 minutes before people figure out / assume its me. I remember this happening when Neutrinos retired. About six months later this toon appears in GSF called Arengesus. He was doing things only Neutrinos could do. Totally destroying other players who considered themselves top tier. Carrying teams that should never win. Dominating the server. Everyone was talking about who it might be. Several names were thrown around, but the stand out popular opinion was that it was Neutrinos. I certainly felt confident it was him. Fast forward about a year and legacy ignore arrived. Arengesus had long since stopped playing. He only hung around for a couple of months. But I never forgot him, and I checked the legacy name, sure enough it was Neutrinos. A while after that another new toon appeared, doing all the same things. This one was called Arteedanel. I checked the legacy name within two games of seeing him play. "Unamed Legacy." But there were only a handful of people capable of playing this way, and Invis + Yui had already openly denied it was them. I mean, there is a chance I am wrong, but I am pretty certain this one was Neutrinos too. People, Malgus regulars who like to think they are good, would regularly create premades to take Arengesus and Arteedanel out. I saw Arengesus - who we know was Neutrinos - get focused so hard he ended the match 2kills to 3 deaths. I saw Arteedanel have a premade of 4 people permanently chasing him, because they knew if they didn't, he would win the match. He managed to still come away with 6 kills to 4 deaths. I felt for him, it almost feels unfair that one person should have people coordinating to shut him down, especially when that person flies solo. These were new toons. One we know was Neutrinos, one we think was Neutrinos. But in both circumstances it didn't matter, he still got shut down hard once people clocked how good he was. The only way to avoid that treatment, would be to nerf himself. Neutrinos eventually retired for good, as did so many greats, and now, I totally get why. I've had several messages of support from people I will not name, but people who were very well known, recognized Aces, who left for the reason I am leaving. Most people don't know what real focus is like. And while I am not putting myself on the same Elite-god-like-tier of Neutrinos, I do for a fact know what its like to be shut down like him. Its actually laughable. I genuinely have been behind my PC laughing my head off out loud at how many people are chasing me around the map. But it also makes the game near unplayable. It doesn't matter how many new toons or accounts I make, it is only a matter of time before the hard focus and verbal abuse starts. And you're either willing to put up with that / laugh it off or you're not. But I am not the first to leave because of it and I will not be the last.
  2. I already did this close to 6 months ago. I've been on all servers ever since. Yes it does help, but not enough. I was accused of cheating on SS only last week. As I said, people don't receive this kind of abuse until you become a top tier Ace. And there is one particular person who insists on chain slicing me every single match. Thankfully he is no threat because he's dire, and couldn't hit water standing on a boat. But even still, it gets tedious. Its like "hhmm, do I want to log into SS today knowing I'm going to be chain sliced? The only other way around this problem is to have more and more alts and keep rotating them every 2-3 matches. Never even complete a weekly in one go. Then don't play that alt again for two weeks. So it only ever plays 2-3 games every 14 days. I know one guy that does this, and manages to escape most of the focus I deal with because he does this. It also manages to reduce the flaming, because people don't recognize the alts. It crossed my mind to do this, but I'm just done with it. And because I post YouTube videos and put myself out there to help people, there are people who work out my alts regardless. I made a new toon a few weeks ago, never told anyone who I was, then within 20 games someone says "Hi Luc" in ops chat. So, because of my presence in the community, I'm not sure persistent alt hopping would work for me.
  3. Invis' training. If I can do it anyone can do it. This is why people say I'm only good with Damage Overcharges, like Domination doesn't exist. All the best Thutmose.
  4. If I return it won't be a for a long time. I need that break from it. Safe skies Stradin.
  5. This is why you have the potential to go far in this game. You saw something unusual that I did, which lead to me destroying you. Instead of getting frustrated, annoyed and throwing curses, you went to YouTube and figured out what I did. I wish I was staying to finish your training, because its a delight to help people like you. But you can do it with out me. My instructional videos are still up and will remain up. Guys on this forum can still answer your questions, and maybe join Sriia's unofficial GSF discord server if you haven't already. Keep watching videos of better pilots and pay attention to what they do. When you feel you are getting the maximum from this ship, and you want to start in Scouts, go watch my Grav and Ramalina Scout Analysis videos, which explain in detail how a Scout should be flown. Safe Skies man, go wreck!
  6. Thanks Chuppy! I remember playing with / against you on Starforge. Glad that my videos have been of help. I will leave my channel up. There's 130 something videos still there. Believe it or not I used to feel the same way about playing against Neutrinos / Invis / Kal Hondo. Eventually if you have the tenacity you can push through that. Especially when I found Invis offering me training and what a nice guy he is! That's why I tried to pay it forwards. All the best and keep on improving!
  7. Funny thing, this was also instrumental in why I quit ground PVP and focused on GSF. The difference is, GSF is in general a much nicer community. You don't really come in for all the trash talking, hate mail and trolling until you reach the top tier levels of skill in the game. Once you achieve that, GSF becomes as toxic as other parts of the game.
  8. Flux my man, thanks for the fun times we had and thanks for the kind words. I was sad when you left to go to SWS, and stoked when you returned! You were also very helpful to me when I was new. I remember when Mendac randomly joined my guild on Malgus, and I was a total noob in GSF at the time. He asked me to group with you and him and I was blown away by how good you both were! Both of you were some of the very first to offer me some helpful tips. Some of which I still parrot to people to this day. Like your "accuracy > damage > kills" and Mendac's "80% of your damage should be from lasers." Things I first heard from both of you guys that stuck with me and I have used in training others. Safe skies man, it was a pleasure
  9. I don't specifically remember, but yes, that's my thing. I do it all the time. So few people can strafe in this game that it throws most people for a loop, and it's all that's needed to make them miss with their arc limited Heavies and Protons. Whilst Rapids can still hit just fine while strafing.
  10. Learning to Piledrive will make a huge difference. Short version - Spam key 1 while shooting. Advanced version - switch to just heavies when you or he retros, then back to spamming Key 1. With traditional Piledriver you had to be more accurate with your timing to get a Heavy shot and a Quad shot to fire at the same time - less so with Alternate Rapids piledriver. You're basically filling the gaps between your heavy bolts with rapid bolts. As for taking too much damage before you are in range to use your maximum burst damage - don't accept the joust until you are ready to. So that means you can fly off-centre, which makes you hard to hit, then line up the joust when you are at your preferred range. Its a Scout trick. Because Scouts need to be very close to joust too.
  11. Touching words Enticy, thank you. Once those flood gates of cheating accusations start, they don't stop. Its a sign of reaching a certain level, and given how much you stepped up in that scout contest, and what I saw of your play afterward, I can fully believe you're getting to that level now. Man, the support here is like a breath of fresh air. Its a shame the toxic few ruin it for most. I don't know if I blame the devs though - short of barring all in game communication I don't think you can ever stop toxicity. Its just the way the world is.
  12. Kind words Elkesha. I know we had some frank candid conversations and I pushed you hard, but its only because you are so capable and talented. Try to heed what I said in our last chat, and you will be an Elite Ace - better than me - if you do.
  13. Thank you Zappa. I've never had a problem with you personally, but you know very well that some of your team mates gave a certain someone the same treatment that I have talked about receiving here. I hope one day those people can recognize that said person is just extremely skilled, and should not be punished or flamed for that. Especially when he is more than willing to help others progress to similar levels. After all, he is the reason I reached the level I did. He's still around, but he's also felt what I feel and has taken breaks because of it. All the best.
  14. Not at all. you can joust people with it really well. Start with Heavies, usually 1-2 shots, then as soon as your Rapids are in range start Piledriving. Clusters make it even stronger, because most people will retro during a joust and then you can land clusters on them. Watch my vids, I joust with it fine. Here's a demo video of that build - but with Concussions - and its in Domination so no one can say it only jousts with Damage Overcharge. Piledriving explanation from Audsen who discovered it - Works with Heavies + Quads or Heavies + rapids.
  15. This is actually the best build for countering Scouts, as long as they aren't an Ace. Clusters are excellent against Scouts and rapids work well too. Learn to piledrive this build, if you haven't.
