octabase

I haven't tried it, but it is really annoying how Strike does an ad for it about every 20 minutes.

it's his event he can do w/e he wants

Agreed, I think my squad just got a dd at first, but nope its strike saying: "OMG COME OCTABASE"

There was a controversy this evening when the team I was on for a good 2 hours (boring night ) was flooded by enemy players joining our freq because we were going to (finally) win the jackpot, which was a good 960k points - the biggest in Octabase so far.

That alone is not a big issue, but still...it ruins the POINT of fighting for a freq if you're just going to switch at the end to get the points.

I didn't think I'd like it before I tried it for the first time tonight in a real game. It's actually pretty damn irritating, but addicting at the same time. Not something I'll do every night like some people, but definately a once-a-weeker event.

Oh, and the ads DO get annoying. Nothing like being in mid-round of a TWDD match and "?go Octabase for inter=bot relations" pops up. TWD arenas should block out zone messages or other squads challenging while you're playing. It's retarded when you're playing a match and some newbie is challenging AND squad messaging saying "YOU SCARED!!!! AHAHAHAHA YOU SUCK!! NOOBS."

I have tried it, I didn't like it, that's why its more annoying that Strike (and 2 dragons) did ads for it every 20 minutes.

If I wanted to be there, I would have already been in, if I just got on I can use my arena list to see what's on.

If I am not there, I am not interested.

Don't spam my chat, you are just made your way onto my ignore list.

I dont care who's staff who's not, no player has to right to ruin the fun of playing SS for another player. Simple as that.

I thought that the bot automatically does a zoner when the next game is about to begin anyways, like in Elim/Belim.

[Kolar]

Ferq hopping is a big problem. Maybe if the bot would keep track of what team you joined when you entered and would not allow you to switch over.... it could eliminate this problem. Octabot also goes offline a lot so i'm not sure how well that would work.

[Fatal|ty]

Kim, your location makes my brain twitch.

EDIT: Then again, it could be worse: could be Dameon's overly obnoxious signature.

there is a pretty big difference there aenima dont u think? i just do it cause the levs deserve it, they dont care about anyone but themselves, and it shows in how many tk's they get. i like to show my disgust for them by tking them on purpose. where as they tk accidentally cause they just dont give a shit. especially now that they know pub 0 is a baser's pub i think they deserve it even more. get the fuck back in your own pubs and quit making ours exactly like the other 10 of yours.

if u were in a war or whatever and some dude was throwing grenades into close combat between his own side and the enemy (because he likes getting a lot of kills? lol), id shoot him too even if i was fighting on the same side as him.

My only problem with it is that it is overhosted and it is used to negelect real events.

If you did that, you would still get Court Marshalled, everything has its consequences.

Now that I've played it, it seems to be just a stat-based version of WarZone...

I don't like it for a few reasons:

1) NightWasp's bomb is way too overpowered, especially because most teams cram all into one of the small circle things to put the flags in.

2) Freq hoppers. Some guys hop freqs every time a different team gets all of the flags...

3) People intentionally "neuting" or prolonging the game by losing flags intentionally. The point of the game isn't to get a $1,000,000 jackpot; the point is to hold all of the flags for 6 minutes or whatever.

4) The way the rankings work is just not apppropriate for this kind of game. I can't think of any ways to remedy this off hand, but going by total points isn't a very good way, for many reasons. The biggest one being that it is the cause for so much of this hated freq-hopping.

[2dragons]

Octabase should be considered as a 'real' event.

Any flagging zone utilizes the ability to 'neut' a flag to 'milk' the jackpot for a higher jackpot, ie: Extreme Games.

Freq hopping is a problem, should lock teams to an extent.

And the ranking also does not represent well, but it is very hard to determine how a person should be ranked, suggestions welcomed.

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Seriously, please, please pretty please just ease off the zone messages a little bit. Just a little.
