?go Elim

[Tiny]

Can someone please get an original idea? Older player have been trying to get elim/baseelim back together for years...but no one listens....u need old elim......with old ranking system....quit wasting your time on new ideas when the first idea was the best.

well im not partial to merging or keeping them seperated but elim was fun for a brief time for me and like somebody else already said, it disappeared.

i think the most logical solution would be do merge the arenas into one huge elim. some people's argument is that they will be forced to play a ship they done like. well in a voting system, majority rules and if more javs are usually in belim then jav games will be played more often. the plus side is you will have people who enjoy both ships coming to the arena and it should increase the numbers in the merged arena.

some might say well now i have to wait for a long time for these jav or wb games to end because i do not enjoy them. a simple solution would be to reduce the death limit from 10 to about 5 or 7 to cut down on game lengths. i for one enjoy both arenas when i am not basing, but i do not enjoy waiting around for games of 10 deaths to end.

get rid of gay ass ranking system and put on in place that shows real time results. when milosh was doing it he had right idea then sirius and his 53 alts cried alot for old way and look sirius and the same 2 guys been on website as top 3 in elim since milisoh gave into them and put old way and them dudes haven't even played an elim game in forever because it could ruin there rank forever. you should have to play to stay up top if you want elim more active

thx 4 reviving this thread...glad 2 see 0 progress by staff on this issue......

Me too because taking away features is a stupid idea. Trying to force people to do something they don't want to do is the wrong way to go, you want to give them the option + a reason to do something they didn't want to do before. Doing it the other, taking away something they like and forcing them to do something they obviously don't want to do, is dumb.

Elim in the same arena sounds best but not voting on which game type! - Sounds awful to me.
Enter elim get spawned into a small box that is just a safezone so no firing allowed.
Pm a bot which elim you want to play. 1 or 2.
Then get warped to a seperate area depending on which you chose.
If there is a current elim of that in progress you wait in this waiting box which is also a safezone.
Once that elim is finished, the players are warped to start the next elim. Simple!

So what's the problem Ardour? The problem is public is fun again. This is the reason why elim died. Public has never been so fun. All the warbirds never move on from there.

Warbird was generally the transition from public players who got bored of playing pub. Then they would expand onto the harder ship jav when warbird was too simple. After that it would be basing.

I know that isnt true for all players but it's what happened with me and it is what I saw happen with the majority of players around me that started at the same time.

Public has it's own dueling?!?! We already have ?go duel An arena for dueling with it's own cool stats system and ladder. But these new players that learn to play this game will never get there. In making public have everything, we are cutting off reasons to move on. I want to see dueling in public linked up to twel. People dont have too look at there stats. They can duel for fun if they want to. This would re ignite duel, a league I once loved to play that has been forgotten. Link pub duel up to TWEL and still have the !beton and money rewards.

Wouldn't it be cooler to be betting on people dueling that have win ratios at stake?

Save subspace save the cheerleader.

The old way of playing elim was the best personally in my opinion. The reason two seperate arenas does not work is when you're looking for an elim and have nothing else to do, the choices you have are presented with are elim and baseelim. Most make their judgement call based upon which one has more activity. So making one un-populated is easy to do because now TW isn't as active as it was in years past, and sheer numbers takes over which arena you choose. The old system would make the most sense. The idea of grouping community together in one elim is a better idea than to force wb's to play javs simply because elim is a barren wasteland now. It also makes for good showcasing for up and coming talent with more focus on a community type atmosphere.

If it were 6-7 years ago, this problem wouldn't be happening in the first place. So going with the old way of doing it is a safe bet.

It will also simplify the the arenas for players new to the zone: making it easier for them to wander into elim, and practice to make them better at TW.

The best way to look at what works is by looking in the past.

And that is coming from a guy who actually enjoys playing javs more.

yea, plz explain Zeebu

[mtine]

How'd it suck? Explain urself, Zeebu. Please.

2 elims in 1 arena would be gr8. That way everyone could play the elim they want to play. The arena would be again 50+, some would play elim, some baseelim and the atmosphere would be fantastic. Should think about this suggestion, Dexter. It's not as bad as it seems.

tried this, it sucked

idea

how about bot in public would start sending the afk people in public spectator freq to ?go elim instead of ?go afk

[Crescent Seal]

If people want to play in more than one ship and become a 2 leaguer or w/e then its their choice. You cant force people to try other ships if they don't have any interest in doing so. But this isnt why this thread was made lol...trying 2 get elim up and booming again. People dont even go afk there like they used to.

[riske]

wont hurt anything to put them back together for a while.

Unless it does. I already get sick of waiting for a long belim to end, start browsing the web, and inevitable completely lose interest in game and never even play belim. If I have to now wait for fucking warbirds, when I know damn good and well they could be playing at the same time I am, and not have to wait, I'm just not going to do it.

im sure the loudest people will be the ones who werent around when the elims were combined anyways

Which is absofuckinglutely meaningless.


This is not an upgrade AT ALL it is a BAD downgrade. Stop trying to force people to do things they do not want to do.

Just because you cant think of any incentives to make them play elim, does not mean "well fuck it we'll take away other things they like to make them do things they dont like" is a good ideas, its fucking retarded.


Put elim and belim in the same arena, and have the games run separately.

Which makes more sense to you?

Giving people a reason to idle and do nothing and potentially log off the game while they wait for a game they havent wanted to play in 10 years to end.

OR

Giving people an OPTION to play a game while another game is happening, making it slightly more likely they stick around, and not log off, or go browsing the web etc.
