Trench Wars Spider League

[Jones]

apparently you forgot that is your entire squad's tactic in TWDD/TWLD games

you are neither funny nor skilled, your idiotical ramblings make no sense and have no value to me, just shut up before i decide to try against the next squad you are on next twl.

since im posting anyway i could reply to this n0ah before he starts attacking me with some other bullshit: i couldn't care less if there was a spider league, nor do i care if im completely wrong about the gameplay, i only care about having bots/websites work and especially competent staff members for next twl.

its entertaining to watch and there is alot of skill involved; if you know what you're doing. I'd love to see this as a new league, the only reason people think it wouldnt be a 'real' league is because its being introduced so much later than the other leagues, screw that - lets make it a league worthy of winning.

[Exalt]

oh but i do know how it is. it is running away with flag until game is over, in addition to that, you can hide behind obstacles. Seriously, how good can a league be that promotes running and hiding?

That's a really stupid thing to say. I haven't seen a person who has tried it and dislike it yet but you are willing to dismiss all this when you don't even know how it is.

Seriously.

I haven't tested this new spider thing but I doubt it would be good enough to have it's own league.

Personally I believe the TWL website should be the highest on your priorities now in the off-season. I haven't tested this new spider thing but I doubt it would be good enough to have it's own league. So for now (imo), focus on:

TWL
(B )Elim
2v2

This will be brought up with the other current TWL ops and TWL advisors. And be given a serious discussion. I agree that this should be brought in. However I am not sure it will be able to be brought in for season 13 due to many reasons within staff and outside as well... But That is an opinion, we shall see.

Considering we are undefeated obviously this tactic works.

you're not undefeated and we owned you by gaining a leadand then speccing at end for the win. obviously there needs to be a huge overhaul to prevent this tactic.

jsut make it like TWLJ and TWLD , 5v5 , out at 10 deaths, keep the same arena remove flags.

that was the last TWSD, and it sucked

much like your posting

Well based on the responses from this thread it's pretty obvious that not everyone believes that running is currently a problem in twsd. I agree that more testing needs to be done before a decision is made to (or not to) alter the flag carrier. But I think people can agree the two best options are to either keep things the way they are with very minor tweaks, or to make a large change by reducing all movement impairing effects on the flag carrier but removing all periodic bonuses and force the flag carrier to rely on their bonus per kill.

Either way, these two options are not hard to implement, so I'm hoping to see a league for twsd this season coming up.

[kthx]

Better yet, lets just rename it Burnt League and allow running for an hour to win games.

[Noah]

I like the idea of removing all periodic point bonuses for having the flag. Even with only a 2x kill multiplier for the flagcarrier it will be enough of an incentive to go for the flag. Best way to stop running and hiding is to remove the reason to do so.

[kthx]

As the Captain of the #1 squad in TWSD I personally enjoy this game and besides the need of a few minor tweaks think it is really fun. Basically my strategy is to play spider like I am a shark, I shoot until I am out of energy and take down 1-2 enemies hopefully, suicide out so I can respawn my brick. Considering we are undefeated obviously this tactic works.

[RiiStar]

1 small tweak should be the random ship damage (but i think it's due to faster recharging in SD according to PureOwnage) it should be like the normal spider; 3 hits is a kill with multifire on, it gets a bit tedious sometimes to hit someone 4-5 times and they wont die when they have flag.

Other than that..maybe a couple of extra walls or "forts" could be added to the map, just to make it slightly more interesting (only the top right and bottom left corners are worthy of a place to stick the flag holder).
I'm definitely vouching to get TWLS, it will bring some excitement to TWL; I for one will definitely be going for it!

Apart from modifying the turret settings of a spider, this is the
spider from ?go base!

Go get in spider in go base Ricko and shoot at another spider without
them fighting you... you'll find even in there with full NRG and them
not shooting it takes 4 shots to kill them...

But will still be looked into...
