octabase

it seems pretty cool right now but there are a few problems..

first of all the freq sizes :/ the last game last night the teams ended up being about 10-20. it was ridiculous.

second of all the stats. right now it seems that whoever plays the most gets the best stats. maybe they should be put in ratio form, like points per game, and kills per game. however kills per game doesnt even mean too much cause some ships like terr arent gonna get many kills at all. also i think it should be flag captures, and not flag kills... just because it is a bit more telling. however this can be abused by picking up neuted flags and re-neuting them.

i must say, though, that i love how the spider gets rapid fire L2 bullets when it has a flag. i got an insane ammount of kills using that. it is good because it encourages people to fly spider and stay out of bombers, which i think are a bit less useful... not that this is a bad thing though, i happen to love how the bombs have a small blast radius.

also its gonna die down quick cause its being overhosted..

thats just what i think.

I think that the spiders are taking most of the kills, we should be allowed to TK the spiders.

have fun trying. the bombs have no blast radius. maybe if u had the nightwasp it would work.

kudos to octabase.. Warzone and Octabase should become standard pub arenas cuz they're so much better. I dont forsee any problems except for flag dropping. Otherwise, its a lot more fun and actually has ppl trying to get flag rather than flying around and killing.

actually extreme games' pubs and many other zones' pubs are warzone style and people still spawn hunt there... i could maybe see a twlw tho.

btw: my rank just went from #7 to #44 because i did not play one game. i guess what im getting at here is that points should not determine who the top player is because 1. it can be largely due to luck (you are only a fraction of your team, and 2. the people who play the most are the ones top ranked. if i were to pick a team it would not be based on who has the most points at all. rather i would look mainly at flag pickups per game.

Obviously we would have to make the blast radius bigger, TKs for life.

I really don't see the point of octabase. It's like a regular base on Crack with 7 other whores.

Is octabase gonna be like TWEL but its basing? So IE, its TWEB?

I think Octabase is VERY different from TWEL and basing in general. It is a random (or supposed to be random) flaggin game (as opposed to stationary flag) with huge # of teams, diff settings from normal TW basing, and a totally diff map that is simple in design ... dunno really if I'd call them bases really. But yeah, there is the website and scoring .... sorta like TWEL ... still Octabase is very different from ?go base and TW pub.

Diagonals make the map pretty but not very functional.

The thing with a spid flagger getting upgraded weapons is a very good idea IMO because it encourages the one who captured a flag to keep fighting and not attaching to the own bate terr to drop off flags like in the normal TW warzone.

[End]

I think octabase is a great idea and ive played it a couple of times and its great.The terr can get a lot of kills by using its burst i ended up getting twice as many kills as most people just from bursts.
