The new TWLB game

[Divine Rides]

So maybe it's time we shed the stagnant skin of TWLB and go with the revolutionary idea of no limits on ship changes, switches, or subs. The ability for teams to change their lineup mid game will make for different ship usage, more players involved, and a tactical coordination the game has not had.

p.s.- how's everybody doing- long time no see.

[cundor]

Just fine, thx
what about yourself? Got a job already?

[Miku19]

I'm all up for it, at least for testing.

[Zerzera]

I think that is total bullshit, I don't see how changing your ship every bloody time you lose flagroom or win it is going to result in a better game.

[Verthanthi]

Arro's idea is the shit, bring it in.

[Nockm]

Yeah cool. I've always had this exceptional circumstance in mind though which may prove a flaw in the fun:

Prerequisite: Team A controls FR
Lineup change: Team A uses 1 terr + 7 shark
Description: Thought spider cram was tough? Here we have 21 reps at our disposal at the choke-point before any shark has to repeat the 'alternation' cycle.


And another thing:

Just test the damn idea out. Get yours and another mature squad and just do the damn thing in a private arena. There is nothing stopping you from playing this out, except if you really are against playing for points since you'll be without a bot. Or get someone to hire a bot and unlock the arena (should prove very easy). Then you'll be in bleedin' paradise, no?


I await the results, sounds like temporary fun.

Yup Arros idea was great.
But if I'm not wrong, he said there whould still be a max of 1 terrier and 2 sharks.
I'm not really sure if I want to see it in TWLB quite yet but in some other test basing cup maybe.

[Kawrae]

LMAO! it would be total chaos!

like Nockm said teams would change ships and have those pub lineups

Terr+7 Sharks, cool. Or Terr+6 javs and 1shark :up: Everytime when u lose FR ppl would change players to javelins or somthing like that.

MAYBE 3 shipchanges would be good, and 3 subs. i think there are too less subs

[Cig Smoke]

Ya, lets not go overboard to quickly Can u really trust ppl to change there own ships when they want to? Like nockm said, you'd have a rediculous amount of the same ship like shark/jav constantly bombing and stuff which wouldnt be fun. Lets just give the teams some shipchanges instead of lettting it all be free. The past 2 seasons we didnt even have 1 shipchange, u had to play with the lineup you had. If u chose a jav/wb u wer stuck with it. If u chose 5 spiders u were stuck with that. Atleast give 1 shipchange, maybe even 2.

[DOTSY]

4 spider limit?

[Cig Smoke]

Well you could do that too but that wasnt in TWL last season for some reason. I dont really care if its 4 spider limit or no limit with ship changes, either one will work.

[Richard Creager]

The level 3 bomb damage radius is bigger than the repel radius.
Multiply the damage of that area by 7, call it the fucking equalizer.

[Jason]

THE FUCKING EQUALIZER

If we ever see a ninth ship, that damn well better be the name of it.

[schope]

I guess they should do 3 subs and 4 changes. That would be an alternative to the 5 spiders game, if you are 4v5 and getting outspidered hardcore then you make the change/sub with no worries.

[Fit of Rage]

Oi Div. Nice to see you.

I think that this is a good idea. It's essentially what happens in base many a time. You'll have 4 spiders and a javelin on attack, but 4 spids and a wb on defense (wb picking off the terrier outside base/in mid). Or, 4 spids and jav on defense and 5 spids in the flagroom. I think both teams being able to adjust their frequencies should at least be given a chance, given a limit of 1 terrier and 2 sharks.
