Yep, the hell with levi but removing terr portals removes the fun from basing!!
Who's behind these setting changes anyway?

[Stabwound]

If you're going to make terriers have no portals, here's some more ideas that will go great with this:

sharks with no repels
weasels with no cloak
javs with no bombs

agreed

[Fit of Rage]

What's truly funny... I just got off SS, and I noticed that MORE people seemed to be hopping around in levis with the new settings then before. There used to be only like 1-3 levis at a time, now I was running into 3-5! Wtf?

[Nasir]

new settings suck! btw if you dont want LT, make some public zones where you cant use ship 4 or something. But terrier without portal ?

[Dameon Angell]

why the hell would you lose the portals for the terr? This better not effect ?go base, or TWDB, TWLB

[PureOwnage]

NO WAY!

The new settings arent that good. If someone wants to be a levi now they dont have much of a chance. 2 rockets and 2 ports cant get them to a safe without repels. These settings are taking out more than half the fun i have in trench wars. The old settings were just fine...should leave them like they were.

I disagree, but I am not so presumptuous as to call your opinion a lie.
I understand your point if the LT is on a private freq. But I fail to see how a LT, playing on public freq with other players, sent to 'soften' the defense on the team holding the base, is not a legitimate strategy. Is this not the same as in warfare when country sends in air attacks before the ground invasion?

I understand the point of your argument, and I believe it was the purpose of levs to begin with.. like a battering ram pushing in the door for the rest of the team... but they're not used like this, and even if the were, it's neat in theory, but stupid in practice. if they're actually interested in basing (which they're not, but we'll pretend) they would get in sharks and spiders and push their way in and it would be much easier and they wouldn't kill their own terr like levterrs so often do.

but in reality, how many levterrs form to soften the defense, then when their team gets in, they help defend? never.. none.

They put ports back on terrs and the levs are still with no reps! yay.

good stuff. though I say let them have their reps, and make it so they can't attach to a terr.

either way, kudos to staff for at least toying with the notion that levs need to be changed.

[eehh]

baseterr without portal is bad, but fuckin upf or lt's: I LOVE IT

i already gave the definitive end-all solution to fixing the lev-turret problems, complete with necessary settings changes to both the lev and the terr that will make their vulnerability equal to their power but without fucking up either ship's ability to be used as a solid basing ship.

if you want to read what it was, go find it yourself.

[HellzNo!]

i like the lev settings, but stay away from the terr before you get a bat to the back of your head.

Terrier settings

Terrier portal was never taken away. It had to (team)green it, in an effort to thwart Terrier recycling to get portals for LTs on private freqs.

Greening it was too slow and the initial portal is important, so it was changed back.

Definitive? hehe
Here's definitive for ya....did you know that if you pull hard on a gerbil's tail, it will come off?
(Survival thing, so they can scoot off while predator is left with tail. And no, it doesn't grow back. Speaking from experience, nothing sucks worse than standing in a pet store, trying to close a sale, and pulling a gerbil out of it’s cage by it’s tail, and then…well...just envision screaming mothers and traumatized kids).

The best way to prevent private freq levterring would be to remove the safes or alter the safety timer.
