Poll: Roster Limit

[Reaver]

I voted for 35 player roster limit but I'd like to retract my vote or at least add the stipulation that I think older squads should get more leeway. Program it into the website or just manually do it but the longer squads stay together without dissolving the more benefits they should get (additional assistants for running the squad, allowed larger roster size, etc.). Basically this way older squads with a bunch of people on the roster that rarely play aren't hurt and younger squads are promoted to keep it together. I said this idea the last time this topic came up, just repeating myself. I also said we needed to get a tutorial arena for the zone over a year ago, and I still think its very important that we get one up and running.

I want to change my vote to no limit.

[kthx]

Well it looks like the idea won't go through, but I would like to know who voted on what, because honestly I doubt this many people even login to the forums anymore.

Post the list of people who voted

Or better yet post the list of people and what the voted for.

Because if you read the thread it is pretty obvious a large majority of players are against this.

Like distension, this idea has probably been killed by a few insecure vets who dont like change and dont care about the health of TW.

Or by people who arent idiots.

The only way Distension could have worked is that..

- it would have ran for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes twice a day, and that's being generous already.
- not during TWL, BWC, weekend events or any other "major event" in Trench Wars.

When Distension was active, it made less players attend to hosted events. It also literally crashed the server multiple times a day, which definitely is not a good thing if you ask me. And there's more.. and more.. and more.. :fear:

As for TWD limit - thank God there won't be one. It would have been by far one of the most stupid things done if implented. :fear:

So with no limits half of the roster is forced to spec in games?

Huh? What are you talking about, exactly? Or rather, which squad?

If someone is forced to spec in every game, they have all the rights to leave to an active squad where they can play all they want. :wub:

Don't care about the health of TW? How many TWBD games you seen played in the last week? Now tell me how forcing teams to reduce their rosters will help us become more active squads and be able to find 6-8 players at a time.

It was a hosted event.. and one that was 100x more popular than any shit hosted now. But atleast now the ER's get to host their precious events that fuckall people are interested in playing..

It also literally crashed the server multiple times a day, which definitely is not a good thing if you ask me. And there's more.. and more.. and more.. :fear:

The glitches were being worked out. Before it stopped being hosted, it wasnt crashing at all.
If it had the support of staff it would have fit nicely into TW's event lineup and been a major asset to the zone.. too bad staff are too incompetent and insecure to see this. Off the top of my head I can think of atleast 30 people who stopped playing TW after distension was killed.
Way to go TW staff.

Did I mention that..

.. some people (heck, it might've even been qan) wanted it to run for several hours (REALLY? speaking of like 5 to full 24 hours) a day, even during TWL? do you know how stupid idea that is? DO YOU? prob not, as you don't know much about trench wars it seems..

.. several players quitting the game because of it existing and constantly crashing the zone + making public die?

.. it driving players away from the "real Trench Wars" which is public arenas, hosted events (not fucking Distension which is an AUTOMATED EVENT, rather than a HOSTED ONE) and twd?

.. and much more, that's just a fraction of the harm that it did.

I for one did not really enjoy playing Distension and cursed everytime I saw it running for over an hour, especially with 40 crashes a day. It could have worked, but it didn't because of the stupid hosting times (5 to 10 hours a day? seriously? fuck no), constant crashes and god knows what else.

I'm glad it died, and anyone that thinks that Distension could have "saved the zone" is a complete moron that should find the nearest bridge and go die.

drunk rant 2010, back to watch vancouver.

[Turban]

did i mention that you are a moron? probably not, but i meant to do it.

distension => burn in hell fire you demon that almost killed tw!

[Turban]

triple post before i goback to watch tv:

distension could have worked it had been hosted a maximum of 2 hours a day, 4 or 5 times a week. that's it.
