What I want to see

[Purple Heart]

I realize this idea MIGHT have been proposed before, and I simply missed it, but heres my take at it:

People may say "just go tourny" but the point of this is for TWD points.


*An option for 2v2 TWD matches to 5 deaths*

Squads may not aways have 4 or 5 players online, or have 4 warbirds or 4 javelins online, so perhaps they can choose 2 of their top players at the time, and let them at it for:

* Half the TWD points that you would usually get for a win (and a loss deduction)

* Half the time limit

* 1 sub (incase a player lags out or has an emergency)

* to 5 deaths

* No !addplayer option

* Good practice for 2v2

This would promote 2v2 practicing within squads that usually don't practice them, and hopefully make certain players more competitive.

It would also be fun to see your squad cheer for the 2 players in there, I think it would bring about allot of competition for the 4 players playing, and really get them into it, knowing they make an even bigger difference as they carry 50% of the weight, rather than 25% or 20% (4v4/5v5)

why would you need it to be implement in twd? a 2v2 ladder should be in the zone already.

oh and make twd only 5v5. ( 8v8 )

I am for the existence of 2v2 in TWD ladder, conducted by similar rules as 4v4/5v5. This is mainly helpful during the early hours' activity, when people who randomly log on may find a sense of staying up and playing something more competitive instead of some random event.

However:

- best of 3
- 10 deats
- slightly bigger area for warbirds than in tourny
- make one arena with few boxes where different squads can compete in both ships

Good idea vt. I'm for this idea as well. Normally at the end of a twd match it is 2v2 anyway. So it would be good practice for twl too. Oh and nice signiture haha

Me and Herc wouldn't ever lose though!

Except there is a 2v2 ladder that works. Ranking works now in ?go tourny. Play with the same partner and you can be ranked.

Here's a link to the team ladder: http://twt.trenchwars.org/?link=rankings&id=2

I've had this idea as well, but I've always viewed it as a different division. Like, TWTD (Trench Wars Tourny Division) and you would signup a squad and have a roster and setup like TWD.

So.......wtf?

The problem with tourny is that it is only on weekends (dont take this the wrong way, i am all for removing it entirely), boxes for warbirds are too small and it's... well a tournament. What I am proposing is similar to the one the OP suggested, however I think it should - once again - not be incorporated with TWD since that is a 'league' for qualifying and praccing twld exclusively, which also brings up a few other questions that should be answered/fixed, namely: full charge greens, twjd and twlj base not being the same etc.

The 2v2 arena wouldn't need a challenge system or anything, just a few individual stats and teamstats (which are great in ?go tourny btw) however, it would need a new arena with twlj bases and as vt mentioned a bigger box (the one in ?go duel is big enough for 2v2) and a different ladder and ranking similar to the one in elim.

Would be good to do some testing on this part during the break. Suppose the idea would be successfully implemented, I think the activity of more league-oriented players would raise overall and early hours would be much more exploited. Since there is no league for few weeks, players could stick to something else for a while. Notice the activity to single tourny events, I believe it would not decrease as much if there was a separate league and division running.

lets get the 2v2 ladder on TWD site then? no use if ppl rarely use that site.
