  • Where's the basing?

    Where is all the basing at? Base is started rarely, or at least is dead more than it's not and public arenas don't resemble actual basing anymore. The only way you can base consistently is to be in a TWBD squad and have BD's (which aren't always easy to find).

    Public arenas used to resemble league basing, that is why the better basers/league basers would still at least show their faces in there and base for a while. Now with the tiny weasels and the mess that we call pub 0 you never find any good/league basers in them. Big thanks to upper-staff who DON'T pub at ALL so they have no idea what the pubs actually need, which wouldn't be a problem if they were open to suggestions but DoCk> made it clear he's not by saying he's going to veto anything and everything that is brought up to him through TWPS that has to do with public arena settings.

    The ?go base arena is the only place you can go to get into a good game of decent basing (most of the time). The main problem is that ?go base is dead more than it is running. Elim is automated, why not base?! I'm sick of the old excuses that you'd need captains and stuff. There have been TONS of suggestoins of how to take care of that. Why not start trying them out?! If upper-staff is going to screw with the pub settings when they don't know what it's actually doing to the gameplay the least they can do is automate an arena for people who want to base, like elim.

    I don't think Dock really set a hard line against any pub suggestions; that statement was likely taken out of context and overblown. It would probably be harder for a pub change to be made, but I don't think it's completely taboo. We've already seen how changes to pub settings led to unexpected repercussions (though some say they should have been expected) to other parts of pub, so they have to be really careful about any future changes.

      Here's my point. A couple min. ago there was almost nobody in ?go base then this advert was sent "We need a few more to get base going.. it's 8v8, so we need about 16 more! Type ?go base " and it shot up to 30 people in about 10 seconds.

        Actually, DoCK>'s words were pretty much no changes would be made, because nobody know what's best for the players in Public. That's what DoCK> said to me. Anyway, I'm going to try send a proposal with the time I have and some of the ideas from here and some of mine own, changes that will please everyone. Wish me luck.

            Rab - From what I see the lag has been much worse for Euros lately

            As for base, I completly and fully agree Kontrolz. Whenever ?go base is dead, all someone has to do is send an advert saying 8v8 basing is about to start. It should be automated, because more pubbers would get to play. Therefore increasing the amount of BD worthy basers. I think some sort of automated cap system should be made, that can be easily overrided by a staff member during peak times.

                    I can only speak for myself, but between the lag issue and the increase of people saying 'ez' and Elim-type shit, I have just about quit playing ?go Base.

                      Recently to my own suprise, I played a couple of enjoyable ?go base games and that's about it.. I think I'll spend my time elsewhere for the next couple of months again.

                        The ?go base arena? Haven't played regularly in there for at least a year. In fact, the only thing I play in SubSpace at all anymore is TWBD.
