  • Balancing the game

    Hi,

    I would like to give my feedback on the current setup of Trench. While I love Levi, I like also a bit of balance. As it is right now, my levi will own every warbird, terrier and weasel. I tend to die from them mainly out of careless. I also hate the idea of LT as it is too safe and too cheap. Here are my idea (if they are worth anything) how to balance the game a bit better:


    Warbird:
    bullet bounces on the wall once
    can buy only: fullhealth (every 15 sec), thor (every 3 minute, max: 1)

    Javelin:
    can buy only: fullhealth (every 15 sec), shrap (every 15 sec, max: 6)

    Spider:
    Pressing multi make you shoot the opposite direction
    can buy only:fullhealth (every 15 sec), super (every 3 min)

    Levi:
    can buy only:fullhealth (every 15 sec), repel (every 15 sec, max: 3->2), rocket (every 15 sec, max: 2->1), decoy (every 4 sec, max: 3)
    PS: cannot buy portal, maximum of repel is changed to 2, maximum of rocket is changed to 1.

    Terrier:
    slow down the terrier a bit, and reduce the damage of anyone attaching the terrier
    can buy only: fullhealth (every 15 sec), burst (every 1 min, max: 1) , super (every 3 min), portal (every 3 min, max: 1)

    Weasel:
    can buy only: only: fullhealth (every 15 sec), repel (every 15 sec, max: 1), rocket (every 15 sec, max: 1), decoy (every 4 sec, max: 3), a brick of 6 squares (every 3 min, max: 1)

    Landcaster:
    can buy only: fullhealth (every 15 sec)
    PS: You can acquire multi by eating green as usual.

    Shark:
    reduce health tiny bit
    can buy only: repel (every 15 sec, max: 2), shrap (every 15 sec, max 4), portal (every 3 min, max: 1), antiwarp!


    Change of cost:
    fullcharge: $20 -> $60 (every 15 sec)
    decoy: $200 -> $30 (every 4 sec)
    repel: $30 (every 15 sec)
    rocket: $30 (every 15 sec)
    shrap: $30 (every 15 sec)
    burst: $60 (every 1 min)
    brick: $200 -> $60 (every 3 min)
    portal: $60 (every 3 min)
    super: $1500 -> $500 (every 3 min)
    thor: $1500 -> $1000 (every 3 min)
    antiwarp: $300 -> $1000
    strikebase: $2000 -> $2500
    epidemic: $3000 -> $2500
    pack: NO MORE AVAILABLE
    xradar: NO MORE AVAILABLE
    pwarp: NO MORE AVAILABLE
    shield: NO MORE AVAILABLE
    superlev: NO MORE AVAILABLE
    slowdown: NO MORE AVAILABLE
    PS: You cannot buy stuff for people.

    The idea is really simple:
    Warbird now is like a bullet version of javelin. Javelin is really dangerous with all these shards. Spiders are the most annoying bastard out there who can shoot a lot of cheap shots with super. Levi are still tanks, but not too cheap anymore. Terrier are still the most important ship if you care about the flag, not as useful for LT anymore. Weasels are ninja who have now the ability to stop the enemy from rushing in. With the cheaper price of drone, the enemy is going to have a hard time to figure out where is the real one. Landcaster are already awesome as they are. Sharks are the new annoying ship. They are usually hated for a reason: mines. Now they are hated by everyone for another reason: antiwarp. All their tricks of mining and pushing people into mine work better.

    I really put a lot of thought into this post and I hope you like these ideas.

    Sincerely,

    Favorite ships in order: Levi, Landcaster, Weasel
    PS: Just for the record, I am not really new. I started to play on and off under various account names since 1994. Started on Chaos and then, (a few years later) moved on to Death Star, (and then, a few years later) Extreme and powerball. These days, I am playing only Trench and powerball.

    This is a horrible post that will make the game very boring

    for one example, a shield is only 30 seconds and takes a player one week to make 30 second shield if they play a NORMAL amount and arent one of those all day players

    this guy is wrong and his post is dumb

      lol there would be no reason to play anything but wb if its bullet bounced. Good lord.

      Honestly, what would make the game more balanced is the following:
      1. Remove thors, epidemic, other bullshit items.
      2. Nerf terr burst damage.
      3. Make anti-warp usable.
