Pure Basing Arena Proposal

[gerry]

I am a big fan of pure basing public arenas. Don't get me wrong, I still like to LT and jav from the roof, but I feel that pure basing pub was made.

As much as I enjoy all the "lame roof attacks", I enjoy basing in pub more than anything in this game. I think getting rid of the Leviathan was good, considering they are not allowed in just 2 arenas.

Nevermind the private frequencies, let's get to the point. I want the roof locked for all incoming roof attackers. This means javelins, terriers, weasels. Terriers have been giving basers a hard time as of late. There is a certain spot where a terr can shoot bursts from the roof and at least 2 of those bursts end up killing a random baser. This ruins the excitement of a good flagroom battle, and believe me, I have seen many good battles until a terrier or a jav come in and ruin things.

My proposal is to somehow place asteroids to prevent enemies from coming to the roof area. I know a terrier and a javelin wont be able to come near the roof. A weasel is a lot smaller, so just placing the asteroids closer together will solve it.

I know people will say, why not just close the holes on the flagroom are, so the bursts or jav shots wont go in the flagroom?

That may solve the problem with the bursts and a certain amount of jav shots, but that will only make lamers come in with a squad of 10 javelins and bounce the shots off from the asteroid belt, and the impact will generate enough damage to weaken the players inside the flagroom, and with 10 javelins, it could create a lev-like damage effect.

I know I'm not Picasso, but I made something quick on paint. It shows the little blue dots as where asteroids should be placed in order to prevent basing killers from attacking from roof.

Can I get some feedback on this idea?

It doesn't have to be in both pure base pubs, just on the arena that houses the GuanoBot.

Attackers from the roof isn't the problem. In fact, by stopping people from flying up there, that means that levis will be the only things that can hit the flag room from outside the base, so this would make people want to become levis more.

I also don't see why attackers from the roof is such a problem. If they are taking out people in the flag room like the base terr, then that's part of basing. Sometimes, a roof attacker is necessary if the attacking team is having trouble breaching the flag room. A roof burst would help break up a passive defence.

Hello, there's no levi in pure pub. Good idea Gerry. Its pure pub basing, not roofing.

sometimes roofers piss me off, especially the terrs who just sit up there and skill-lessly drop bursts in the fr, but overall i think it makes things a bit more interesting inside when u have a couple javs up there harassing you. also it is fun to be a roof jav, i cant lie.

TK, I was referring to pure base pubs, where levs aren't allowed....

and, I just wanted this change on 2 arenas.

Ok, for the million-ith time. It is impossible to make one pub have a different map then the other pubs. In order to initiate this idea, which by the way I don't agree with, it would have to be done in a non-pub arena. Which would defeat the purpose, don't you agree?

i love the roof

damn the whole server.cfg obstacle -_-

You can't just change the two arenas though. If you do this to the pure pubs, then the regular ones will get them too.

but the bot could warp someone who ventured into said coords.

[Gemfire]

That is easily done.

[Dameon Angell]

With the same bot technology used with the racing bot tracker, yes.

[Troll King]

I still don't see why it's necessary.

[Gemfire]

Well, for those that want to JUST base itd be good - that way you ca nbase without worrying about some retard camping the roof and letting random bursts down crossing their fingers going PLEASE LET ME GET A LAME KILL. Btw, i dont support it either way, i dont evne play in game now, just explaining his side(or what i think it is)

[Fit of Rage]

i love the roof

Ilya's kidding, he doesn't really exist.
