TWL Update Thread

[Sirius]

Dwopple is just sounding ridiculous now...he doesn't even combat my points he just runs around with the same broken train of logic despite everyone underlining it to him already.

Paul was correct..Im not trying to say I know anything about basing, I'm just talking logic here.

why because im retorting against every point you make?

its the only league ive ever truly played of course im gonna defend it.

you would be the same way if we decided twdd/ld was getting boring and we decided to allow lancs/spiders in games to duel. because it is still dueling even if other ships are in.

You're not retorting against my points..you're just whining.

But I do understand what you are trying to say and why you feel alarmed about your league. However, your comparison is a bit more like apples and oranges concerning having whole new ships enter in LD etc.

A more comparable analogy would be if TWDD/TWLD got a new rule that before a match you could choose to shoot twice with the same amount of energy, but only get 5 deaths before you are out.

It would swap up and disorient the styles of play...but it wouldn't be something not worth trying or even if it was thrown into TWLD right off the bat...its pretty hit and miss on whether it would be a failure or not, and most serious squads would not just start wingin' it and taking the chances of trying it out in LD games.

Same here, just because this option is now available, doesn't mean people will truly use it in TWLB or whatnot, and if they do they take the risks and sacrifices that come with it. All the easier for you to get a TWLB title.

oh god i actually was sitting here thinking of adding something constructive the best i could come up with was: "lol at dwopple"

[hypocrit]

O_o

5:Dead_Rain> jamal do you agree with 2 terrs
5:JAMAL> amazing idea, test it for 2 weeks in go base, ready to go for twlb!!!!!!

LOL

anyways. just stop arguing, stop trying to show 'facts' about why this is a bad idea, at least with this short of notice. Just prove that it is a bad idea in go base/twbd arena(s). Yes it's an interesting idea to look at, but you can't just throw it at us and expect us to like, or get comforatable to it right away. I deffinatly believe people would give it a shot when there is time available to test this new style of playing to basing.

and lastly, idk why hatethefake is talking, tbh.
havn't seen him play any games?...:death: lols.

what ever, that's my input.
gl in LJ/LB/LD/LS(exciting!!) to all. :turned:

oh and i think people are funnier on forums than in ss. :grin:

[Pressure Drop]

It is ridiculous to make such a drastic change with such short notice …

At least the removal of the blocks was played for the whole TWD season but now some power crazed mods decide to change the terr limit to 2 a few weeks before TWL is due to start?

It is completely retarded to give that sort of notice and saying “well no one will use it“ just makes it even more stupid reasoning by the people making these decisions… the terr is a fundamental ship and the only one you can attach to and the only one that had a 1 limit making it the most important to kill, putting limit to 2 reduces that.

There is varied tactics where 2 terrs would be an advantage and teams could practice over the course of a TWD … like starting with 2 terrs taking up different positions and bursting like crazy if the flag room is cleared but one of your terrs has died it could be changed etc etc … or being more inventive.

TWL ought to be better planed out that messing with something pretty much out of the blue … introducing a 4-spid limit which I’m against would at least be something that as been talked about thoroughly for a longer time with the basing community and even implemented in the BWC etc

But this is a load of shit and if it was to be implement like the BLOCKS it should have been thoroughly tested in ?go base then TWD for the full season before TWL. I remember this being tested in ?go base a bit but that was it and only a couple of times when a mod or someone was there not left up with an entrance message.

It worries me that people in charge are jumping to these sort of rash decisions more and more and making it more farcical.

why is the BD game limit for TWL qualification the same as DD & JD ?? surely it should be weighted with which is the easier to get? - you only need 4 to duel but towards 8 to bd (yes the min is 5's but any basing squad would prefer 8's) - so you are now talking about a total of 8 active ppl vs 12-16 ... yet 50 games for both ... it was brought in to try and stop blowthrough squads dropping out of TWL but what you are going to do is drastical reduce TWD compition and the number of basing squads further and increase older squads dying ...

I don't know why you're attacking mega PJ, he's annoying, but damn good.

In what part of my message was I attacking him, can you point that out please?

Gosh and to think you´re a grown up man with supposedly understanding of the world, geeesh...

On topic: I do think that if you have 2 capable terrs and a team communicating really well, 2 terrs could be a good matchup vs a 1 terr line... Too bad I know how our chat and freqchat is, so that's never gonna happen. Not even speaking of the 2 capable terrs...

in it's old days twl used to be any 5 ships dueling it out with 10 deaths each. and soon enough everyone realised wbs were the dominant dueling ship, so everyone used 5 wbs. so be my guest, let's change back to the old rules, nothing would change for twld.

stop being so new, it's embarrasing to watch.

[freddie]

I would like to point out a question for Dwopple.

If you dont like clusterfuck, why you support 5 spider cram?

And for majority in this thread, how much time you need to figure out how to use 2 terrs, or not at all? One month is fine, maybe some teams even have unique tricks in twl now, when everyone havent played zillion times against each other.

re

k, i think we should propose multi for wbs allowing them to shoot 3 bullets at same time, what do u basers say? good idea i think so IMPLEMENT IT NOW!

this isnt remotely the same thing

[eelam <tw>]

re

same thing i can tell u fucking duelers, u dont know shit about basing so u dont know the reprocutions of changes like 2 terrs, so GTFO. To basers adding multi to wbs is same thing,

you dont know the 'repurcutions' yet either

tried to say that in an earlier post

if that change did happen in wb's, id try it out first before threatening to leave the league

noone has considered this yet; twld has 2 extra squads than the other 2 leagues meaning 2 extra matches in regular season, therefore an extra 2 weeks of LD will take place over LJ and LB....so will LD start 2 weeks before the other 2 (meaning they will be pushed to mid-november) or will the LD final be played 2 weeks after we already have our LJ and LB champs?

We should just make it 10 for javs and base too. Especially base, since the 2 squads left out (out of mainliner, basingcrew, thunder, pirates, sage, spastic, brainwave, disoblige, penetrate) may just go inactive, meaning less squads to practice against in TWD, leading to a lower level of play in TWL. Also since the TWD qualification system isn't perfect, it's quite possible that the 9th or 10th best squad will just lame their way in, leaving one of the true top 8 teams out.
