  • I ask that you revise the settings in ?go javs.

    It has always been my understanding that ?go javs was originally intended to be a free-for-all arena when an event isn't being hosted there. That being said, it's about time the settings reflected a free-for-all environment. Can we get a freq size limit of one player per? Anyone wanting to partake in a jav free-for-all simply can't do it with the current settings. You can never get the newcomers to get off the pub freqs. You end up in a 4v4v1 situation time and time again. If people want a team javs environment, there's TWJD and there are hosted jav events. There is no alternative for those of us who want to see ?go javs return to it's true form.

    Edit: I forgot to make note of the fact that I'm talking about a non-competitive free-for-all. Fuck baseelim in it's dirty bum.

    I think by ridding of the unilimited freq sizes by putting a cap on them, that it takes away from the ?go javs feeling, which to me at least is, you go in there, there are some random people on your team, you shoot some spaceships and then leave after about 5 or 10 minutes. I find when the freq sizes are huge, that there are too many people in the arena in the first place. I enjoy that ?go javs is pub-like, it just feels more laid back.

      My perspective of the Javs arena is an arena alike a pub arena, but is exclusive to javelin use. I mean in public arenas, you can have all the private freqs you want, and no one would mind. If you find you don't like getting teamed 4v1 because you refuse to team with some random guy in that arena, I'd say there's nothing to really argue about if you refuse the opportunity, while others are actually taking advantage of it.

      Unless of course you want to make the Javs arena into something more than just any old free arena, then maybe that could be looked into. Instead of waiting for set games in baseelim that have rules and regulations, people could duke it out for a while in Javs. But nevertheless, I hardly see anyone staying in there for longer than 30 minutes at a time. Like Paul said, its like a waiting arena for one of the elims or events to begin.

          Thus far, everyone who's responded to me is too new to the zone to appreciate what unhosted ?go javs used to be like. Can I get some input from someone who might understand where I'm coming from?

          And I suppose you wouldn't have to cap the freq sizes. Simply make the starting size one player per. That way, people would have to make a conscious effort to team up. That's the way it should be, not the other way around.

            I like go javs the way it is, and it isnt hard to get rid of 3v1,4v1 there because most of the players at go javs are there to practice and cant jav decent at all.

                I understand exactly where you're coming from Jason, after reading the first post I wasn't too sure because I when it was hosted it'd be rather hard to do team matches but making it default to 1 per freq and having people join eachother's freqs (or be set by bot) would be cool.

                    Jason, I made a thread with a suggestion similar to this quite a while ago:

                    I've noticed that most of the people on freqs 0 and 1 are people who have joined the arena and just can't be bothered to change to a private freq. You do get the odd few who do want to team though.

                    Here is my suggestion:

                    Make the freq settings the same as those in baseelim, by default, you are put into a freq on your own but don't limit the freq size to 1. This means that if you choose to do so, you can team with a friend/squadmate. This will keep both parties happy as it will be FFA more often, and those who want to team still can do.

                    You can find my original thread here

                    Also, BRING BACK SHRAP :x

                      Its frustrating to write these lines after every post^
                      I'd hope there would be another way..like some automatic system that fills them itself after every post.

                        A max of 3-4 would be good. I like to play solo or teaming with a few buddies to practise helping each other out.

                        Limiting it to 1 isn't a good idea IMO.

                          why not make private freqs the default in the arena. most people stay on the freq they are first put on

                          edit: ewan said the same thing
