Public Reform! Lets Change Pub Basing!

[Guest]

hi there! my name is trancetunes! i have got a good idea (i hope)!

NEW SHIP LIMITS IN PUB: LIMIT 5 JAVS/FREQ, LIMIT 4 SHARK/FREQ, LIMIT 4 TERR/FREQ.


what does everyone think? this way not everyone will just jav! it will encourage sharking if needed due to the fact that the pubbers will know only 4 of them can be that ship! of course this will cause a small amount of controversy over javing, however too many javs ruins the basing!! and as far as terrs are concerned, there is absolutely no need for more than 4 terriers/freq in pub basing...

staff, community, please consider this idea and lets start working on fine details!!

NOTE: I STILL THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A PUB ARENA THAT IS STRICTLY OLD SCHOOL STYLE PUB.

Hasnt this been debated many times before? I dont agree with the idea of limiting ships, what if there are 4 afk terrs?!?!?

although i doubt that would happen, in the event that there is a problem with all 4 terrs or all 4 sharks, im sure there is a solution...perhaps we can add a !change command for the pubbers, and if most of the team does !change playername:ship #, it automatically changes...its like being voted out of that ship..and then someone can immediately change to terr to try and redeam the team...i kinda like that idea if we were out details with that..

Just not solid enough of an idea... pubbing has become a lot more aggressive... a lot more actual basing over the past year, there simply isn't time for !change or lobbying mods or anything like that when you're busy fighting over base.

Jav is an essential basing ship, and while I agree with you that tkilling is becoming much more common in pub... limiting the number of ships will do nothing to fix it. We just have to give everyone time to adjust to actual basing in pub. A lot of the people javing now are newer javs and don't think before they shoot or just don't know the sweet spots. If you limit it to four ships, those four might just be noobs and do nothing but tkill.

Give it some time, it should get better. If they accidentally tkill yell at them, they will get the message. In the rare cases where they don't, report them.



PPS: I do get a kick out of everyone flying jav in pub and tkilling like crazy.. it shouldn't be funny but sometimes it does get pretty bad and I .. lol.

my purpose for this thread was infact not because of teamkilling, sorry man, but thats just not why i wanted this done.

one thing that will be fixed is the fact that alot of times everyone will jav instead of spider or shark...ive seen a team not get base for over half an hour.

i do feel that this idea needs to be worked on and tried in pub..

[Ignominy]

seriously

are you serious

can you be serious right now

srsly

WAIT

if only staff had some sort of committee for pubs, then they could discuss this

[Pummel]

Well then you have no hope of this going anywhere.

So.. what you are suggesting is that most pubbers don't apply an effective strategy when trying to take base. You think they should pick different ships.. so you want to start restricting ship selection in order to make it fit in with your strategy?

What might be better is instead have more people (preferably terrs) take control of their freq and guide the flow of battle .. suggesting which ships are needed at that point in time. A commanding terr is usually the quickest way to victory... if only more would step up when playing.

thats why i made the thread dude, lets make the idea work.

Well my best suggestion is to start a new squad that is focused on strategy and "squad level" tactics. Establish a doctrine for basing and make sure your members follow it.

I say we make at least 5 freqs mandatory so there will be more wbs in the spawn. And each freq has to have a designated roof terr for the javs to tk the fr. Safes should have gate tiles in them to warp out pussies. Lets see what else hmm remove the ability to ignore public macros. give the levs a lower attach bty.

YA KNOW THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Not an incredibly positive contribution to the discussion... but funny!


Oh wait, you forget weasels that could infinitely cloak! infinitely!
