unlimited changes/switches/subs? you are insane

i kinda talked about this in staff chat, these unlimited stuff will bring on abuses. It's not that I dont trust people, it's just that 'abusing' it can be called a strategy too.

team 1 is defending a cram, shark1 lagged out. normally it would take 15s for the shark to get back in again, but with unlimited subs/switches, all the cap has to do is to do !sub/switch shark1layerb and !sub/switch playerb:shark1.. voila, your shark is in again and with full reps.. fun stuff
that can go with changes too

someone suggested to put a time limit between commands, like after i did !sub, i will have to wait like 5s or w/e before i can do some other commands, well, thats a way to prevent the abuse, however, that also funishes those who really needed to perform 2 commands instantly.

Ear warps are a must. Random warp gives one team an unfair advantage, and ear warp gives both teams an even start.

Unlimited shipchanges should not be added. It would be very easy to abuse UNLESS there was a huge time limit on this. Maybe if it took 15 seconds for a shipchange or switch to go through, and then a 30 second gap between changes.

The #1 change needed is more stable bots. They are unfortunately unacceptable if they are the same as last season. Spastic had at least 5 restarts because of the bot dying or fucking up. Restarts can and I guarantee DID change the outcome of some games.

Agreed with stab. Keep ear warps, make bots more stable and dont let us have Unlimited changes just 1 or 2.

I'd like to see a mix of the current ear-warp and the original systemized warp (remember where they warped the terriers about to the bar below the base and the teams would rush in simultaneously?).

Maybe warping them into the places on both sides of the middle tube or something, I dunno

Ear warps should be replaced in favour of a more balanced FR race, but not before the cram becomes less popular due to a map change or other restriction. Brookus's post is the right idea.

I think the answer for more basers is pretty simple, advertise advertise advertise. Everytime Pure_Luck advertises ?go base is starting you see the population in there shoot from 5 to 45 (I don't if that's b/c he is dean of staff, or people just wanted to base that badly but couldn't check arena list). Bottom line is when it is advertised more people show up. I like the idea of automating the bots, I know there are some technicalities in there like who to pick to for captain and what not, but get that stuff taken care so you can advertise and keep it running 24/7 when there are enough players and I bet you see a bunch more basers going to ?go base.

i think some type of random ship choices should be limited to 2 ships of the players choice because i would play base more if i could be the ships i want. they just happen to be the kinda ships that are used a lot and usualy they only put people in the ships that they know are good. most likely youv figured out i like the yellow ship and the red ship... and im not half bad with them... the only problem is i dont use them in a basing situation anymore because i never get picked unless im captain or im the only person left. if i am the only person left i am usualy made into a spider and i think being a spider is boring as hell accept in ?go spidduel. shoot shoot die. shoot shoot grab flag die. where as when you are a terr or a jav there is always something different to do. if i could jav and terr in ?go base then i would be there a lot more often.

and i dont think im the only one that gets put in only to be spid and shoot walls or rush and die... when the person would much rather be a different ship and potentialy kick ass...

thats the last thing about go base... if the cap doesnt know your name then your not gona get picked especialy not in the ship u want... which means the ppl that the caps know will get picked OVER AND OVER which is complete BS for everyone that doesnt base often but has fun playing a certain ship every once in a while...

[Pixelsong]

After having looked at this thread for nearly a month, watching it go offtopic and coming closer to death, I would personally appreciate a word from upper staff. Have you seen any suggestions that are worth discussing more or are good enough to be implemented in a short period of time?

I'd hate to see present suggestions fall off the boards without being taken into consideration.

unlimited changes is good, a 15 second waiting period for the change to take place is also good.

I think it would be fun to earwarp the whole team except for the terr, then people have to decide who should attach to help the terr and who should stay and try to fight for the fr.

change

i think Ewan had the right idea. we need a change the the basing map.
like have different base maps, so each game will be different. so it will not be the same old things, also u will have to change your playing styles.
i vote new maps

haha that would be insane bz...and i mean insane in a good way!

[apt]

i have a good idea to decide the ear warp thing, both terrs duel before game in terriers in an open arena with no bursts just bullets. terrier who wins gets to spawn in flag room the other one has to fight his way in. yes thats a good idea
