Reminder tonight's the night, queuing starts in about an hour (9pm EST)

Tuesday night was the plan

Great come on over, wasn't intending on this being an "event" just a PSA. But hell we can make it the "Weekly Pot5 Asteroid Dodge" if we wanted to.

That would be awesome Yallia, the more the merrier. I just figured this way both factions would be aware that there is a set time when people will be reliably queuing. Unfortunately, our small community on Pot5 tends to mean "prime time" is a pretty narrow window.

Wasn't planning on it initially. Like I said this is mainly a guild thing, but I just figured since queues can be abysmal on Pot5 I would put it out there here in hopes of speeding up the pops. Depending on the mood of the server we may switch to imperial toons so rookies can get a taste of winning for a change.

Just an FYI for Pot5 pilots looking for queues. At the request of my guild's leadership, I will be organizing a regular GSF night for our guild on Monday evenings starting around 9 p.m. EST. First night is looking like February 3rd. This will likely be a combination of veterans and rookies, so don't be wary of the "OP premade night". So if you're looking for some regular queues, feel free to jump in and kill/be killed! Barter

You sir are an unsung hero of the internet, thank you for answering your question so I could find it a year later. I owe you a beer!

On the distortion field bugs, has anyone noticed that while you're obtaining lock on a target and you use your distortion field your attacker's, as well as the your own lock breaks?

So your rebuttal is "sorta maybe sometime between now and launch"? Yes in a perfect world i'd love to do it your way, but GSF isn't PvE or ground PvP where everyone is playing it. There are a limited number of pilots flying as is, let alone PTS pilots, and I'd like to get a chance to test this out with multiple matches. Yes, I'd love to run the PTS everyday but I have a job and a life and ships to level on my Main. The last thing any of us wants is another Bomber/TDM PTS release that has a "game breaking" bug to discover after an hour and a half queue, and no one touches the PTS again. The purpose of this post was to let the GSF forum community know there will be other testers on at a specific time. To be honest, I'm hoping we can do a Saturday 2 p.m. test every weekend from now until launch. If an afternoon run doesn't work for you, then schedule a 2nd run through. I'm sure there's plenty of people who want in but can't make a Saturday afternoon run, just as I'm sure there are people who will attend multiple testing sessions.

I'm game, how does Saturday 3/8/14 sound? Have PTS downloaded and ready to fly at 2 p.m. EST.

What server are you on? There are really only 3 servers with heavy GSF play. Try rolling a new toon on Pot5, Harbinger, or TEH. They tend to have the highest GSF pops.

This, I sucked wind for the first week and a half until i changed my mouse settings. Even still I kept plugging along because it was a great time. Also I wish you got some sort of credit for this, I can't tell you the number of times I've spent the whole match ducking and diving underneath an opposing satellite while being chased, dedicating 2 or 3 of the imps to controlling the cap, and get no credit for it.

I'm with Kegger on this one... NotThatOne... Focus target and target of target are essential tools for any raid group. I feel they are just as applicable in space as they are on the ground. I'd argue just the opposite of your "disadvantage for PUGs" argument. In a situation where you're facing a totally pre-made lobby, the ability to find a wing-man and address the same goal is the only defense against a team with voice chat.

Barter here and looking to fly with a regular crew. I've flown with you guys from Black Squadron, and a couple other premades. Love to see real teamwork and coordination on the battlefield. Have a few guys from my guild that fly a little bit, but don't have the love for it I do. Always looking for a wing-man or three, so if you see me out there running loops on a satellite feel free to send me a whisper and watch me fail against the Wall Boss!
