So, I have been thinking a lot lately about how I can improve the zone.
I came up with the idea of basing fridays.
The concept:
From 12am-12am, we shut down ?go base. Have any staff who wants to host do some basing events in other maps.
While some of the maps need more than the standard 8 vs 8. Other bases do not. We could always use matchbot in other arenas. so we can still have your traditional 8 vs 8 to 10 minutes game. It would obviously be up to the host. But we can make a rule abot how often this is done.
Thoughts:
The biggest fight Staff have with hosting basing events, is that ?go base is on, and who really wants to leave a comfortably good game of base for some new base where newbs are teamkilling you, or the terr is a newb... ect. But as a host it gets frustrating. Why spend all the time setting up an event where only 12 people show up and then trying to keep people staying the entire game when ?go base starts a new game?
I want to increase the awareness of basing events in the zone, as well as stop the continuous parade of the same events OVER and OVER again. I took a look. in the first half of this month.. Bluebase has been hosted 4 times. and boki once. Thats 5 basing events in 15 days.. Basing is all but dead. Trench Wars is based on basing.. no pun inteneded. We need to do something.
Conclusion:
This is just an idea. We can work it out where a majority of players like it/tolerate it. But something needs to be done. And I would like some input on how to do it, because we cant keep it as the status quo.
