What's happening to TW?

[NaiLed]

so levs have L2 bombs eh

I can handle the changes, but I'm with Connection on the greens in elim thing. I liked being chased by someone at low energy, getting lucky, and blowing the shit outta them. Makes elim more fun, and adds a small element of luck. I mean come on, it isn't TWL - it's elim. Let's just rip out all the fun from this game why don't we eh?

If you need greens to run away from someone in elim, you'll be better of practicing and getting good at ship 1 than whining in the forums

A weasel wouldn't benefit from a rep as it would have to get up close to its target before it used it and therefore pushing its target even further away, otherwise if it used the rep when it was far away from the target it would blow its cover and get shot before it reached its target

But it could be used as an "emergency" shark


I was always pro-shrap in javs. Taking it out of baseelim was annoying but I eventually got used to it, taking it out of ?go javs was too far IMO.

Did you ever play with weasel before it lost its repel? It certainly doesn't seem so.
A rep is very good for a cloaker, it would save you hundreds of times when low on energy, especially if you use it in base.

I thought this post was going to be a productive discussion about the recent crippling lag that, for example, has made playing TWD a living hell for about 1/5th of WR, but it turns out it's just some guy whining about ship changes in pub.

[Fit of Rage]

Haha vyk.

I'll say this once, and in a special green spider-like lettering:

Don't touch my spider.

[Squeezer]

You do that, no one would miss you !

so true it hurts :up:

Agreed, its pretty sad when you start complaining when they take one of the lamest parts of elim out to try to make it better..If you can't adapt to the changes of the zone, go play dsb or one of those other lame ass zones. :down:

[Crossfirez]

So, what the hell is happening to Trench Wars?

First they removed shraps from javs, Then they change cloaker and lev settings.

Now there is no greens in elim...

I bet soon there is no bombs in javs... so ppl dont get hurt so easy...
and wb got rockets or reps........

STOP MESSING THOSE SETTINGS!!!

Let it be like it was 4 years ago. everything was just fine...

Shraps only did baseelim harder... Like you have to dodge more and it took skills to get good scores.

Those greens in elim didnt do anything bad. Running wasnt a problem in elim. Now the problem is rushing. It's so easy to rush someone because you know he cant get energy.

Lev didnt do anything bad at all when it got reps...
Like if you dont want that levs attach to terrs. Put a bounty limit to 10000. i promise there wont be any LTs. Then add 3 reps lev so it got a change to even move 1cm. Keep 1 rocket and potal.

I think those lev settings would work.

BUT all i want is those greens back.

Thank You.

It's good that they make changes in the settings. It's not like it's anybig changes anyways and removing the FC greens from elim and shrap from belim/javs is cool.

Right, so I guess all you guys see this as a sport or something? It isn't lame at all, some people find it fun to pick up a green and blast someone. I play this game to have fun, and I was just saying that having full charges in elim is my prefrence. If you can't handle someone having a different few on such a trivial matter, you'd better go own some newbs ingame cause you'll get alot of this on the forums buddy.

The pub map was horrible.

I like the weasel with 1 rep, and don't say that it doesn't benefit from a rep. Apperently you haven't been playing in a old weasel, therefor you don't have the idea of the rep's benefit.

Also that I found nice was, when you rep those base mines cloaked. Since the eneny shark layed bad mines, and only javs and terr and sharks (depening if they have xradar) could see the x. While others would rush to midbase, and the x would be waiting to rep the bad mines.

The rep also was a emergency def agains hunting terr, back then you accually warped once you saw a angry terr comming after you (if you had a chance)

I know xies are annoying, but they play a roll in the pub, perhaps not in a bd, but in base pubbing they do. Its a way to infiltrate the enemies defence.

I would really like to see the todays x/cloaker/weasel, with a rep, and one mine. About the mine.. the mine would be a minor damage mine, that would cause a same emp as the sharks mine. The damage would be as much as decreaseing a wb to shot. So if a wb would chase a cloaker and the wb drives into the cloakers mine with full power, the his energy would be decrease to a energy level where you are not able to shot with a wb. In this case all teams should have 9 mines. Sharks would still be able to just add 4, but one more slot for a the weasel's mine.

This is just my idea what I thought up in this very moment. I'm not sure it was been said before.. but I think this is a kinda cool idea, and it would increase the cloakers perpose in pub base game.

(woo! Some typos! :P)

[Malladrin]

I agree with you 1ight, however not about the mine thing. I don't think you can give a weasel a mine without allowing others to use that "mine slot". Setting wise I think it's a set number of mines per team. About the mine you are talking about; Sharks already use the L1 emp mine, so it wouldn't be possible to give weasels a weaker mine, unless you gave sharks weak L2 emp mines.
