Pubbing for 1000+hour users

usage = sitting in spec while you dont play. It doesnt mean you can play the game well or know how to base with a team. Instead of having in-game time, i would rather have a count of non-spec time as a measure of how long you have played.

or create a bot in an arena that duels you, and if you win it means you're not a newb and can play.

Aah, thanks Zerzera, that cleared alot of things up
After reading the new posts ive got another nooblet question.

mkay, whats is "elim" and "belim" (i know its arena's or sumthing on TW, ive tried to join them once, but i couldnt play)
And since obviously, Trench War Divisions is the first stop to this web of games, how do one enter TWD?

(ps: i checked trough FAQ part of teh forum but i couldnt find this anywhere, would be nice info for newbies )

Gat, ?go elim and ?go baseelim are two of the most popular sub-arenas in Trench Wars. They both require you to have 36 hours usage to play in them. Once you have that, you can enter their competitions, which are- as the names suggest- elimination-based. Elim is usually in Warbirds to 10 (once you get 10 deaths, you're out). BElim is usually in Javelins to 10. There are, however, other games, including a non-elimination game in Elim that involves racing to 15 kills. Last man standing wins. The elimination arenas are highly competitive, and also highly unsportsmanlike: people generally feel like they can act like complete jackasses, and do.

Another interesting touch in Elim and BElim (that isn't working right now due to the temporary demise of the Robo Refs, but will be working again soon) is the ranking system. Sending the Robo Ref in the arena a message saying !rank will allow you to check your statistics. Rank is compiled using the formula W*A/L, where W and L are obvious and A is the average ranking of all the people you killed. Once you amass a total of 500 (actually a little less, like 495) kills and deaths, you are put into the leaderboard, and can thus compare yourself to other players. At any time, you can !rank a name other than your own, which will lead to no more important revelations than the fact that Raspi is really, really good.

To get into TWD, type ?go twd and message the bot with !signup . Then take a look at http://twd.trenchwars.org , which will tell you all you need to know.

While a vet pub would be damn sweet, I'd rather the limit be on when they first played not hours. One year would be decent, two would be better.
But most likely everyone will only support hours so if that's all I can get, I'd play a 1000 hour pub.

Okay people forget the fact that I said a Pub. What do you think about the idea of an arena for experinced users. I dont want to hear anthing else about it not being able to be a pub because it is not possible and that is not the point of a public arena. So would you like the idea of an arena like this?????

?go base
?go javduel
?go wbduel
?go elim
?go baseelim
?go elim2

Problem solved.

4. Bots don't die.

Twerp, Mk has Monster bots that die, so yes they can.(sorry about the ad:P(i dont even play there anymore))

And i think pub is fun till about 300-500 hours usage,after which its easier to own the whole arena 10 times over(unless of course someone else good is playing) and then it gets boring since there is no competition. Twd matches count, so you cant just have fun, you have to try, base does NOT guarantee a spot in the game, no matter how good you are. An "enhanced" pub with needed hours would give the people that arent REALLY GOOD a place to play, since people like me never get chosen in ?go base

[Pixelsong]

I fear a "pub" like this would increase the gap between the veteran and newer players. It would be harder for the newer ones to be a real part of the trenchwars community if they never encounter players of the trenchwars core.
Saying this arena would stop a community increase and will eventually kill the game goes a little far, but I do think it's a factor that has a negative effect on the loyal trenchwars playerbase.
Like Troll King said, this change will likely turn the normal pubs into the trenchwars slums.

Ah ok, thx Vyk im gonna play til i got 36 hours then and then ill try to get my ass kicked in TWDD

[Richard Creager]

Turn them into? Have you been in a pub lately, or EVER?
Fucking pub being absolute shit isn't fuck for anything new.

[Twerp]

So many different points on both sides. Can't make up mind.

Gemfire, they have bots like that? Then I got to steal one >:P
