What to do in Trench Wars when you don't play Distension?

[soup]

If you put distension in another zone, and current players go to that zone... isn't that likely to make TW less active? Doesn't that completely defeat your purpose of making TW more active?

It just seems that people are jealous that others are having fun, because they're not.

But I do see what you guys mean, distension is quite zone-like... but IMO it's just a huge well-organised event which has just as much right to exist as anything else.

GO SOILDERZZ


I wouldn't care, I rather see them leave than staying in TW.

It wouldn't kill TW, that's for sure.

There's no limit on when or how many events an ER can host Soilderz except during TWL. Qan ruled out moving Distension to another zone. It's limited to about 4 hours a day so I think you guys are exaggerating the effect it can have on the zone's other arenas. I don't have a lot of fun in Distension myself but I can see how it brings people to the zone, people I know would have quit the game by now (they told me themselves). As far as I'm concerned that's +1 for us, regardless of where they go to play. We're also in the middle of a TWL season so get a feel for things population wise out of it.

I don't even remember when I saw an ER last time host a game, Why has that been reduced?

I've been seeing MODs host lately. There are events, they're just not that fun anymore. It's always the same thing. Zombies, DM, and Jav events. All of which are overrated.

I've never been one of the ones saying give Distension it's own zone or anything like that, I simply think pub should be given a large focus, because it's the main arena of the zone

Granted I haven't had the time to log on in the past week, week and a half due to IRL stuff, but from the way people are posting in the topic it doesn't seem like the constructive fixes that looked like were starting to gain speed in terms of pub have faltered or stopped.

The pure pub bot keeps breaking down, is that's whats going on? Can we please get someone to fix it then?

The bots problems over the past few days should be fixed from what I was told. Moot is no longer working on Publics and I would like to get someone to focus on that, if anyone has some ideas let me know.

I'm not saying we should have ship upgrading, TW isn't that kind of zone. BUT it might be a solution to highly powered weapons like Levi Bombs (Level 3 Bombs). A Distension like-bot solution might be able to do that. The end result being there being no need to restrict Levis, Timer Pub or Pure Pub.

Edit: I can switch up Pure Public to Public 0 and see how that works out, neither is the default for players but people generally filter into Pub 0 regardless. If the population splits to Pub 1/2 then it could be a strong indicator that Levis and Lev Terring are wanted. It does take a lot of team work to Levi Terr also so we shouldn't forget that, even if they're not compatible with Basing.

[The Unliked One...]

I can get a dedicated European <ER>, but I dunno how many people will actually show up to his events.

Any suggestions?

I have tried host, just tried few mins ago, 5 people. Really doesn't work anymore, sigh

Could be the time of day, the event you're trying to host, or.. Some people might not like you. I know a few people that won't go to events that are hosted by people they dislike. Try hosting an overrated event like Bug or a zombie event.

Usually I go to events for comic relief, and reactions, this morning though, I've been trolling the forums.

You know why you are an idiot, cause you use a different font.





Just remove distension --> own zone.

Lol roxx

No, I think the game is stupid and I rather see people play belimbeta,elimbeta or tourny.

It was way better 4 years ago.

Amen, pubs are the first arena (new) players enter. Pubs have pretty much been on the decline for the last 5 years if not longer. Apparently staff still think all the (retarded) side-events have priority over leagues and even pub. It should be the other way around.
Get new players to stay, then if that works make sure the leagues/elim-arenas work and then if you have any time left make some events that have nothing to do with TW at all, for all I care. It made sense that there were a lot of new events being created everyday when TW easily had 400-500 people playing. But right now it doesn't, you should focus on getting the basics to work properly again.

That means I'm not saying Distenion sucks (I never played it and won't) but it obviously took staff a shitload of time to create and to keep it going. That time would've been much better spent at fixing TW's main problems. With that, Distension only made TW's biggest problem worse, by dividing the population even more. Like I said too many times before already: the population should be brought together, this is easiest done by having fewer arenas/events available, not the other way around.

Maybe you meant people have been asking to switch pub 0 to the purepub and make the Levi pub the 2nd one? I'll get back to you later today after I look through the interviews I've conducted and let you know what the ppl in pub have been asking for. Off the top of my head, the ususal reponse to 4) Which pub(s) should allow levs? goes along the lines of "all", "just one", and a few "none", in that order. I don't think ppl care too much whether it's the first or second pub, as much as they care that at least one pub has levis.

ok i went through the interviews and here's what i got

People who want levs in pub 0 43%
People who don't want levs in pub 0 24%

People who want levs in purepub 19%
People who don't want levs in purepub 29%

People who think levs should be in no pubs 5%
People who think levs should be only one pub 5%
People who think levs should be in all pubs 19%
People who think levs should be in all except one pub 67%


that's with 21 responses. capt. pooface has some more, but i didn't have access to them at the time.
