Base Games

[Remezetti]

Hello everyone,

I decided to write this when I saw how poor these base games are .
As I noticed today, there were at most 4 games in a row and then everyone quit for some reason. When I first began playing in ?go base there were a lot of basers and people usually sat in the arena for hours to get in since there were more than 40 people. There were usually about 25 or 30 people in the base chat but now it's like about only 20 people at most from 9am EST to 5pm EST, and then more people start to come and base gets active.
Second point, I should admit that staff picks um....well newb captains. I'm not talking about "newb captains" as the people that are really really new to base. I'm talking about people that've played base for sometime and must know the base lineup (1 terr, 2 sharks, and 5 spiders OR 1 jav/wb/lanc and 4 spiders <--usually). So, as I faced it today and many time in the past mounth, that people keep setting 1 terr 2 sharks 1 wb 1 jav and 3 spiders, or 1 terr 2 sharks 2 javs and 3 spiders. Unbelievable?! Well, believe it. It not like I don't like that lineup (truly I don't), or yes of course you can put 2 javs when your team is winning by really much and you don't cram but fight in mid, but who would win in this case:

1 terr 2 sharks 2 javs 3 spids VS 1 terr 2 sharks 5 spids(5 pretty good spids)
Example shown above is the lineup that was set at the very start or beginning of the game.

Furthermore, staff wouldn't kill the game when the freq with 2 javs is losing completely and people are starting to spectate. Why? Because the staff is in the winning team XD.
I think, that's what makes the base games alike the pub games and people leave.
Therefore, why wouldn't the captains pick good teams so everyone have fun playing, and more people will come to base to make it even more active.

Regards,

Rem & Co.

Well, that's just how it works in ?go base. Some people would like to try different things because at the end of the game, there is no real prize for winning.

Hi Dameon,
I was talking not to make base a pub and I agree with you that you should try different things at the end but don't put 2 javs vs all spiders at the beginning! This is just crazy. :death: inch: :annoyed:

As far as picking captains goes, it's always been a little in the grey area. Not much can really be done about it. Sometimes you'll get experienced players who never call for caps, leaving only inexperienced players that call for caps. Sometimes it's a mix...can't really do anything about that. I don't think anyway.

As far as basing lineups, it all depends on the situation and what you can do and can try. If the other team with 5 spiders has really shitty sharks, then maybe having 2 javs (or even one) on your team would probably be a good idea. I've even seen squads play one shark, 2 javs, and 4 spiders before. Hell, if a squad wanted to really try something new.... One Terr, one shark, one jav, one wb, one lanc, and 3 spiders; OR one terr, two sharks, one jav, one wb, one lanc, and 2 spiders. You know, now that I think about it, I don't really know how many javs/lancs/wbs can be put in at a time per team. The only limits I do know is the one terr and two sharks at most. Either way, any lineup is possible.

yes, points. WWONDERFUL POINTS

?go base is all we have now I'm afraid, I noticed games in #mythrandir sometimes but it seems they are no longer being played there. Plain and simple, if you want quality basing, join an active basing squad.

Would be nice to have Trench Wars being a competitve zone..

Like this guy pointed out. Its all about who is selected as captains. As asmodeus said sometimes staff cant help but make a "newbie" or a "dikhead" a captain bc thats all tht asks. I think its more a problem if u got a dikhead captain who plays a stupid lineup, or himself in terr or switches everyone to jav when losing then it is to hav ea newbie captain pick a team. There are many problems w/ .?go base, always have been, i for one dont play it to often atm bc i think pub is more fun, but with less ppl located in .?go base it also gives more ppl an opertunity to play instead of the same 16 every single game.

Dont play base then, it's fine in the evenings when the basers come online. Btw, there has been atleast 10 more threads similar to this.

[Kawrae]

I agree with Spike.

.?go base is only fun when there is like 50 ppl where to pick from.

[FarScape]

?Go base is for fun...

but he say there is no fun anymore, thats the point :P

I am so sick of people saying that.

Sure, there ARE 10 more threads similar, but most are over 3 months old. You can get banned for reviving dead threads.

Also about the base thing, i have noticed it too. People getting cap because they are known basers, and then adding himself and a friend in jav, and not giving 2 shits that the team lost by 10 minutes.

I have been on both ends of those teams, and it sucks either way. Base is most definately not what it used to be.
