Pharaoh's Legacy 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 I'd love for the site to be up for when these settings go into main. I think that we should be posting winners on the site, since many, if not most, games will be long and hard-fought. I never said anything to him about it, but I'd nominate a friend for it (you know who you are), if he'll do it. He's been getting very good with mambo lately, and I'm sure he can get a site up - at least something a little better than basic - very quick. At least something temporary. -PL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then have the flags change hands 20 times before someone decides, "okay, now's a good time to win," and wins. Then, of course, everyone else feels cheated and complains and whines and leaves... With one flag at a time you can't win alone. One person alone can't be the deciding factor in a game. You have to work with your team to keep flags safe, to get more flags, and you have to fight right to the end to win. -PL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revenger 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2005 you could solve that by giving weasals anti back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
senti 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2005 som, ray, WTF? This dissapoints me. Rev.. I kinda agree with you. But pl explained the benefits out of this 1 flag carry thing, so lets see if it works out that way. And also what disadvantages it gives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

everdream 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2005 I like that the powerball is back, but how about getting rid of one of the goals? It's no fun if you can score at both of them. Just a thought. ~ever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raynor 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2005 new settings are cool but right now theyre trown in just like that, no1 even tried (except waldo) to host an event around them. I didnt play them yet b/c I didnt have time yet but from what ive seen nobody really knows whats going on. I understand that someone mentioned them in the news but hardly anyone reads that, so maybe its time to start doing things differently but then again I know that wont happen.

P@ 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 i've hosted at least 2 events after SWZL weekends, i know PL's hosted at least 2 as well. i've also brought people in for non-prized testing a few times. there was also a 3 full freq game i hear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raynor 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 all preannounced on a website or even in the news or with arena messages 1 week before the launch? its about timing not about making a fake large jp when nobody cares about points. Thats when SWZ went downhill even more, different points system and those fucking annoying jackpot boosters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TC Dark Reign 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2005 QUOTE (Pharaoh's Legacy @ Jul 12 2005, 04:47 PM) Consider also, though, that as long as you're there, flagging, you'll rake up points that you can have fun with. So it's a win-win situation, anyway. Flagging fun - points fun. Jackpot fun is a rare bonus that you have to earn. Reward points should be higher to reflect the reduced number of flags, and maybe even more. Something along the lines of: 2500points/flag/min x 4 flags x 60 mins = 600K. I.e. holding on average HALF the flags for 1 hour will give you more than enough for a bomb/bullet upgrade. Thats about 2.5x what the reward system is now, but since we've reduced flags by almost a half, its not even that much. In a way, these settings would be semi-mobile-semi-turf flagging, which would take away some of teh emphasis on winning and putting it to just being able to hold some flags, and as you said, the JP would be a rare bonus.
