New Event Up

?go TEAMWORK

it's a new event idea by twerp and myself, we'll be doing testing on it tomorrow at about 3 EST. Idealy, it goes off without a hickup, but it probably will. Anybody who wants to have input on a new event can try to drop by. Feel free to download the map beforehand so we don't have to wait, but i'll be putting in late comers anyways.

Okay, I'll be hosting this in a few minutes, and when you enter the bot will direct you to this thread for any ideas.

Although the general idea of this is for a multi ship tournament, I feel it also holds the ability to do other events, such as wacko-zombies, or standard wb dm or super sharks etc.

The event was great, host in every weekend xD

Its a cool idea no doubt but it needs some serious tweaking of some ships. Still big ups for the idea and the map.

[Twerp]

Thanks for the comments. We are currently tweaking as we never properly tested it before with that amount of people.

Current thoughts:

Wbs shouldnt be prized FC's. They do have a fast recharge which should be good enough as it is.

Terrs were originally gonna have 1 thor, but see'ing as wb's dominated them even with 2 thors, I think it might be a good idea to keep it like that. Bursts dont really help that much so the prizing will still be in effect i think.

Spiders and lances worked perfectly (even against each other).

Weasels have the option of using cloak and then rapid firing without loosing energy. I feel like that's good enough atm, but some more input will be nice.

We never got to test javs, levs, or sharks that much so we dont know a lot about that in a big event.

And the little bug with the prizes will be fixed soon. That was my bad.

Okay, we did wbs vs terrs at first, and the wbs won with about 7 guys left. The terrs seemed to miss with there thors a lot (buy some aim dudes) and after there thors and bursts were gone were pretty useless. The idea has been presented that to weaken the wb, which is probably the strongest ship still, take away FC's and maybe make them slightly faster either turning wise, or speed wise. That way there rate of fire will really fall off, but they won't be to badly hurt. The terrs looked pretty good, all in all.

Roudn 2 was spids vs lancs. it was really back and forth, but the lancs seemed to take the advantage early, making big brick perimeters, but still getting strayed by some bouncing spider shots. was realy back and forth until the end when the lancs won with 5 guys still left in. Was pretty close. If the spiders combined there fire more, they could have won, so I don't think changing either ship would do much.

After that we did any ship elim. I let people just play in whatever ship they wanted and go at it, was okay fun, but by that point in time we'd sunk down to 30 ppl (no advert in over 2 hours, and we still kept 30, so i'm happy with that. we had mid 50s for wbs game, 40s for spids)

Suggestions so far:

Wabirds: remove fcs, increase either turning, or speed
sharks:add bounce so when they're super shrap sharks, the shrap bounces. I'd need to hsot a shark event to see.

It looks like we'll leave terrs, spids and lancs alone. I need input on wbs, sharks, and weasel and levi.

As far as the map goes, I heard nothing but positive praise. That was kinda the way i invisioned it, twerp made it all by himself, and i think it's beautiful, in an ugly sort of way. There was even jokes to make it the elim map and pretend like nothing happened

The green buggy dealy will be fixed, and soon.


EDIT: oh and it was a bit slow, I had zero macros setup, i just manual'd the entire thing, including putting in late entries whichs lowed it down. That won't happen next time.

I don't agree that the warbirds were overpowered. Burst really is good, the terrs just didn't use it for some reason. I bet if freq 0 were terrs and freq 1 - wbs (I mean, if the freqs would switch ships), the terrs would won easily. Many terrs were just flyong solo and shooting warbirds with bullets xD I say it's bad to decide to weaken the warbirds only because of that one game. I like the game how it is. The warbird freq was whining how terrs were overpowered, and the terrs were whining how wbs were overpowered. People should whine less ^_^ The whining terriers (pss: ~Vehicle~) got possitive scores anyway.

[Twerp]

Well, the thing about wb's being prized with Full charges is that when I (terr) charged and the wb shot and missed, i would attack with my bullets, but since they get the FC, it would basically do nothing.

[Fusha]

The terrs just needed to sit in some curner and burst! and I've seen little burst in the game. Fon't ouse bullets, chase your enemy to a wall and burst him! Terrs did not do that and that is why the lost. They could of win.

[Iguana Bob]

For the weasel, either make it a little faster like pub x's or make it so multishot works with the rapid fire. You should also increase the full charge of the wb to 2.5-3 secs. Lancs, spiders, and terrs were perfect.

[Nickname]

I like the weasel how it is, becuase a full multi rapid fire would be overpowering imo, you have to keep in mind that with cloak, only the terr can see you without looking at radar, the rest of the ships have to look at radar and thats an advantage. also you have rockets, to make it rocket rapid fire.

The main reason for removing the FC is because lv1 bullets won't all hit at the same time, to kill the wb. We *could* keep the fc, and send it down to like 7 or 10 seconds, so it's a temporary boost some of the time.


Keep the opinions coming, i'll host some more of this soon, TW THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE A SAY IN WHAT YOU WANT TO PLAY, don't waste it and complain about it later.

Personaly the thors where a bit overpowerd. Its not that much fun to get killed cause a teammate didn't dodge properly and I saw a bunch of terriers getting teamkilled. Maybe reduce the area of effect and prize them every x seconds so terriers can defend themselves better without getting to powerfull.
The lancs vs Spider game was a lot of fun imo and could have gone both ways since it felt very balanced compared to the other matchups.
The last FFA round was a bit crazy but clearly the weasels where the best ships to pick. Fast fire combined with rockets and some lag could tear away a group of ships. I'd say that they need some tweaking. I like the lots of bullets idea cause its actualy fun to dodge them and try to kill the weasels.

just my 2 cents

[Nickname]

reducing the prox on thors might be a good idea, i'll host another terr game to get a feeling on it.

I'll also host a weasel game. Clearly you have to outmanuver the weasel, since it's slower, and attempt to engage them at a distance, since there bullets are slow they're only really good in close. They also only have the 1 rocket.

Ok we did kings (or pawns, or whatever you call it)

2 teams, 1 terr per team, terr has 1 life, lancs had 15 (everybody but terrs were lancs)

lancs got prized bounce, we had some bouncing goodness, people loved it.

we then did it with javs, wasn't as good because the terrs seemed to die super quick (just not as good terrs) but people still liked it. so ad kings to the list of things to do in ?go teamwork
