Settings change

[Burnt]

I see a lot of discussion about these changes and making other changes to the pub arena? But is it just me, or are the pub settings so far beyond lame that they are beyond repair? I'll use this simple diagram to illustrate

................................................ |................................................. ....

Ok maybe that diagram sucks but hopefully you get my point. Tweaking a few settings will move tw pub a little to the left..but it'll never be to the left of the line. To me TW pub and TW in general is like pop music..pop music has simple lyrics and TW has simple settings..however they are both very catchy. I like to listen to pop music and I like to play tw, sometimes at the same time..but I also play other zones and listen to different kinds of music regularly. I think TW may be all some of you know and you're brainwashed to think it's the only thing..I think TW Pub severly lacks depth, teamwork, organization, and I just don't see where the fun happens. People who play it a lot are just brainwashed drones IMHO :P

The 2 rockets for the levi is good, but 0 repels? At least two more are needed. The 2 portals are a good idea.

Terr must have portals or you can go to hell priitk.

Pubs are a very different kind of basing. You can play any ship you want, you can play as long or as short as you want. In general, it's a less serious atmosphere. It's the difference between Little League baseball and playing with your friends. You fuck up? It doesn't matter because no one is keeping score. Also, if you're in a good pub, it's much more intensive than in ?go base. The disorginization, I've found, can be very fun. It's a good place to just goof off and play a game.

first of all, LT's pub freq most of the time. i have hunted them quite a lot and i pay attention to those details and more often than not LT are on pub freqs because some lev will green and say WHO TEH LT ¿ and some schmuck like ditch pig x or spyder54 will hop out of their cloaker and terr for the levi. they dont give a shit about helping soften what weak defenses there may be. they just wanna do their special little shots and blow people up, who, with hope, are not on their team.. but if so no great loss. going around hour after hour shooting walls they cant see and killing people that cant kill them time after time. ive been in plently of great pub base fights where there were one or two LT's on the roof getting TONS of kills as a result of the flagroom fighting. it gets so bad that everyone leave to kill the LT, myself included, because really trying to base at all in a situation like that is pointless, and everyone goes to the roof to get the levi. when the first person gets there the lt warps and spends so much time in the safe zone that people give up and go back to fighting, but its not the same afterward.

i think the price of antiwarp should be significantly lowered and buyable anywhere on the map, if possible. if people abuse this by antiwarping the spawning zone they should be ?cheatered.

That is exactly the point.

Don't Like Um

at least make it so a Levi can buy a portal or 2

[bloodzombie]

anti-warp isn't the answer, because that fucks with a terr's abilities. just remove the fucking levs.

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
javs with no bombs

Sharks with no repels :eek:
Javs with no bombs....:eek:
Weasel with no cloak that can be done.... but your ideas just ruin basing altogether, down with THE NEW SETTS

I kinda like the rockets on the lev

Levi is still too powerfull. Without repels it just takes more skill to play. So what are you idiots whining about? :/

[Zloy]

Levis can speedbomb base now, $

[Verthanthi]

They could always do that, zloy. Unless you mean without a terr.
