TWSD: To Be or Not to Be

[Volny]

The original map which was in spidduel before tswd wasnt bad. But someone from staff decided that there is too many obsacles (wtf? has he ever played spidduel?) and use delete function heavily. It can be very well seen on the map - especially those tileset "decorations" sometimes end "not nicely".

But more dramatic change wouldnt harm, but it shouldnt be another DD map for warbirds.

Use the spidduel map like volny says + take off random damage + allow spiders to attach to each other (ie like in ?go zombies)

twsd fixed ez

A similar map to webcrawler would be good...

God that's such a fun map for spider battles...

Like I said before, Spider duel would be more fun if it was ran just like Metal Gears dueling league. Let me explain.

Metal Gears dueling league is kind of like warbirds (1 shot kills)
Their pros is.
-The game is fun to play
-Scrims are a blast because it relies on team gathering
-It's quick and to the point (and for spiders, thats good)

We could adapt it to spider league say by having a dueling box like the size of boxes in ?Go duel for warbirds. Keep the asteroids there, maybe add 2 posts. (maybe someoen edit the webcrawler one to fit)

The concept behind it is to allow each team to play 5 spiders. One death per round. (but you dont get specced, you just go into an area where you can re-enter the map.) It's the best out of 5 rounds. If a team wins 3 rounds in 1 set, they win the set. And basically you have 3 sets, you switch the opponents side after each set (if they started at top, switch them to bottom).

It really can be done and I think the spider league would be much more interesting. I'd rather have no spider league then a 50 kill race.

Any view points on this?

[Torn Wing]

Scrap it, no fun at all.

Nice quick thinking dameon.

On a thread related note:

TWSD needs a new map, BUT it needs to stay kill race in my opinion, if you do 10 deaths and you are out it will get tedious in the end, certainly if 2 are left because you get a never ending dance of hit and run.

I havent readed 1 reply, so if this is alrdy said then dont read it :P

The Map.

- Spiders arnt wbs so a big map isnt needed.
- Its way too open if 4 nme spiders wanna kill you they just look radar and shoot all together.
This makes it pretty fucking annoying to play a SD.

The Settings.

- Make it 10 deads a player.
- With 50 deaths in total you cant see who's good in duelling and you depend on your team.


FFS... I had alot more ideas but I'm just too stoned to remember.

[Unorthadox]

Spiders are cool, but for some reason TWSD is just terrible. Good concept, but the map is terrible and its hard to stick as a team for very long

[Golden Sun 1]

random damage is shit

[Apocalypse WOW!]

I'd do a few things:

1)No random damage.
2)Make the map much more closed in - like webcrawler, etc.
3)Put in flags - either all together in the center or spread out - and make it a point race.
4)Increase the number of players to 4,5,6, or 7.

Thoughts/Comments?

I voted for 10 deaths and your out.
But i think it also needs a SMALLER map to play in, and also maybe have the settings tweaked just a little bit.. n seee what the people think of it then.

50 kills is fun but not as much fun as a jd ,

That being said i agree on u the idea; Best of 5, 1 death

oh and lose the random - also no fc greens:>

1. There is no random damage in TWSD.
2. Sounds like an idea, please discuss.
3. Could be interesting, although that would be a radical change in TWD. If you get support on this, I can't see why not...
4. Wouldn't 7 people in a smaller map be even worse than the current TWSD?

Also, feel free to post suggestions to a replacement for the current map if you think the current one is too big. IMHO the best way of choosing a better map would be that several people make suggestions and we debate the suggested maps here and choose whichever you players think is the best.

I guess we need to change something to make TWSD more popular. What these changes are is up to you players. The staff cannot know what you want. So please discuss.
