?go base

[Ronn]

Removing ?go base could make squads bd more often too but I dont want to see base removed and fuck pub.

[phata$$]

To do my part, I will not go to base and go play pub instead.

[megaman89]

remove go base? you are a fucking idiot.

[hak]

Base begone.

Having read this thread Id thought id give my opinion as one of the few who plays base regularily. Base has gone stale, its a simple fact, it rarely runs and as soon as two of the bigger squads decide to twbd it dies.

As a baser i believe removing ?go base would be good for the zone

Yes there would be backlash but the response would be new and exciting. Chats would form for all basers, games would go back to being played in private arenas with invites only. Teams of more than 8 could play and basing could flow over hours instead of wasting half an hour picking teams. Public basing would increase as soon as squads realiased they were fighting over each other for public control.

No I don't see this happening as too many staff these days are basers, would I like to see it happen, yes.

Greetings,

I agree with you a hundred percent on this matter. I too, as a baser, feel that removing base will be good for the publics. I feel it can be particularly successful in combination with Reaver's idea; setting up an lvz to pop up for ten seconds, showing the number one (to three?) squads. This could promote the number of squads, and thus players, in the publics.

I also feel it is necessary to state that base is empty these days. Since Baseelim and Elim were reinstated, many basers have returned there. The basers that do decide to stay, are going to suffer a loss for the while. They will however learn to accept the fact that they can base in pub just as well, if they just go there. Many of the complaining basers never actually play a public. I don't think their opinion really counts in this matter, until they've actually played publics. Think of it as a bottle of coke with added chili pepper. Saying it's disgusting really isn't a trustworthy opinion unless you've actually had a taste of it.

Again, one can never say this is the solution for the problem. It can however be the solution. The only way to find out, is to try. As Dock already stated in his famous quote, evolution happens by taking risks. Removing base can be described as one of those.

so you guys think even limiting it is a bad idea also? like i said, even if it was restricted to weekends or just saturdays, this might help the game itself be more competitive (e.g. players not leaving) and the pub population during the week.

maybe i should just give it a rest, eh? perhaps we've past the tipping point.

p.s. megaman89 is scared chipmunk23 will eventually be better than him! we'd better make sure this never happens!!

i have played more go base games than everyone else in this thread combined and im the best

now what were we talking about?


get all those stupid robots out of pub 0, you should be able to private freq yourself in wb so everyone is blue and you get more targets. you should be able to priv freq with 4 friends so you can try to take base with a small group of squadies without having to play on the same team as 10 newb tking javs. you should be able to play ship 4, it is fun for some. stop taking things away from pub 0 where everything begins. get rid of all those fucking bots and rules and take them to a new arena if you want to! whats the point of getting base if the whole arena is going to warp into it in 3 mins? its impossible to go for a super high bty if they all warp in like that. little things like these make TW pub 0 fun, and they all gone now. please make these settings pub1 and not pub0, pub0 is where the new players come in, and they come in to all these rules and timers and restrictions and it sucks.

[Fluffz]

if you are sick of 10 newb tking jav teams why do you blame bots that limit private freqs? another prime example of TW thinking.


bots are fine, but only to prevent abuse and moderate games. And yes, abuse covers private freq leviterrs.

[Vatican Assassin]

if you could make a priv freq you wouldnt have to be on the same team as the tking javs. why can't you just ask your question and leave out the "another prime example of TW thinking" crap.

[Fluffz]

or someone could do something against tks that works asdfg! im out of here, this is more than i can take

[Vatican Assassin]

1st tk: bot warning, 2nd tk, another warning, 3rd tk: automatically changed to spider and can't change back to jav for 5 mins. warnings reset after 20 mins.

have fun coding that

[Ignominy]

Remove ?go base and either A) put the squad's name with the most points for the month on the map or B)create a new *objon every month that stays up for 10 seconds with the winning squad's name on it. Note: do NOT put the individual player's names on the map or the *objon, only the squad name. The squad should receive recognition for it's efforts in pub, if individual players want recognition or the squad wants more recognition, save that for TWL.

this

i like the idea of a graphic that has the top couple of squads on it when you enter the pub.

do this

[inaphyt]

Remove base, i have no reason to play here anymore, the heart and soul of tw :<

ROFL
thats actually a cool idea :-D

[Zeebu]

basically, do not remove ?go base (i wouldnt mind seeing it slightly limited in its use though, but dont remove it)

(concerniing non pure pub arenas only)

-add the entry image that shows squad point leaders, change that as often as possible
-up the cap to about 40-45
-rotate the maps around a bit (from the other thread, this sounds fun)

the point is not to force people to play only in where we want the to play, it is to make it more appealing to play there than anywhere else. if you can make it so people must see the squad point leaders every time they log on, people will want to see their squad on that list. which means a bunch of pub guys might make some squads amongst themselves and eventually climb to more organized parts of the zone. and liek i said, this is non-pure pubs in all their glory. no ship restrictions and private freqs allowed. no need for a timer. make it clear that you get more points if you kill a person while holding the flag then you do when you havent got it. the lt's will be happy because there ahould always be some ppl in the base. the lt's wont get any points however (unless theyre the controlling team). upping the arena cap and rotating maps just help to add some more fun. in a pub setting, more people = more fun. rotating the maps will be fun to keep the people on their toes. (rotate maps only, never the settings)

is the implementation of this so difficult to not have this happen?

y/n/m?

staff is trying to hide the fact that none of them know how to do anything anymore
