but staulqueur this will be like hinkley and player will cry about it every day and nobody go scavenge in the core anyway.
As I said, people will still have to go to core and scavenge items, weapons, whatever they need. This will be for next season, would be awesome for current season but ya...
You always go on about equal number fights against family but you never show a video where family win a fight. Kind of sad really. One can only guess they never win or you are lying. The first case doesn't sound "fun".
When's the last time Lawyers vs. V-Tec had a 10 minute + battle? When you kill half our team we're forced to retreat because we're now facing overwhelming odds which happens 80% of the battles we ever had.
Most fun I have playing a faction based game is to win against the odds (ex : winning when outnumbered). Everything else is just "follow the swarm".
Ya...something you never experienced so you just "follow the swarm"
I like stalkers idea. Pvp match up.
But i dont know how easily this could be encoded in the system's game.
Well it might be possible. Just seeing these events Cirn0 and rest of developers set up events with the tickets and what not, it can be :V
About that matchmaking system, it might be interesting, but not with the current number of player. We are currently 15-30 players at peak time. It wouldn't be wise to remove any of them from the core.
Or none at all during peak time. This should be for next season...maybe 2 weeks after start of session so people have to go to core and loot.
As Niamak said, it would be like hinkley, and that did come against TC as people prefered to go hinkley. So you cannot deny it will have an effect on ZC confrontations, especially when playerbase is low.
Well it won't be like hinkley. Hinkley you have to use fake gear so people can go there without worrying about losing gear. However, my suggestion people have to take their own gear so they can fight and risk their gear. Some dude takes sPA and loses it? Well R.I.P his sPA. And this is for next season, player base will skyrocket to 200+ for about a month or 2
However, having definite hours for 5v5 could do imo. Having like a time frame where 5v5 is opened would prevent people not going to ZC anymore, also it will bring the people who want to do 5v5 check the NPC at the same time, making the matchmaking easier ?
Yes, having a certain time where this NPC comes out will be good, but player's timezone will be a problem. Like for me, I want to game at 3 P.M. and some Europeans on but majority of them off cause its like 12 A.M over there.
better join the swarm if u cnt kill it
Small
timepenis wouldn't allow us to join swarm
Not just assignements, but rewards, traders, quests, everything should happen in the core.
Ya like you know, I gotta go to Hospital to pick up some crate but like ya, V-Tec is like running a 20 man squad right now while BB has 5 max sooo I guess I won't play AoP.
Ha another perfect solution to a non-existent problem. Of course Cirn could add sth like this with a stroke of his mighty keyboard. But that wouldn't solve anything stalker. Because you would just find something else to cry about.
The problem is existent you degenerate. Everyone knows how much V-Tec swarms, even devs do. And for me it will solve the major problem I have with AoP which is being swarmed = No fun at all. Only other thing I "cry" about is how too strong some weapons are (Ripper, solar scorcher, etc.). Meanwhile V-Tec doesn't have to worry about anything with their number advantage almost every battle we had.
You can't keep blaming your own mistakes on some mythological VTec swarm. You can't keep blaming your own mistakes on your team being noobs (after which you even manage to cry about a noob recently joining vtec).
Uhm....I blame no one other than swarm, maybe some noobish actions my team did but other than that, nope.
Say matchmaking is implemented tomorrow. The first post of the day will be by stalker. Crying about 'tier advantage'*. Because that's what he cried about last time when he couldn't blame his loss on the team or the numbers.
*To those unfamiliar with the term: tier advantage is when tecs take t3 to zc and law doesn't.
lol tier advantage? Please go take high tier gear, its possible to win but not win 5 vs 9 while 2 of them have sPA with TPR and Negev. No point taking tier 3 for lawyers when enemies will just overrun us with numbers. I remember a battle where Damage took sPA and TPR while he rushed straight to me, I did 3 hits and he ran but while I was hitting him, 3 other tecs were shooting me while 1 of them was punching me.
There are plenty of workarounds for that. For instance FO Requiem has (or had?) an arena with a set of lobby rooms implemented. This ensures equality between teams: the round starts only if the numbers are even, everyone gets in the lobby naked (no pun intended) and each team receives a locker full of stuff in quantities proportional to the number of teammates. So weapons, ammo and medical items are of the same tier for both teams, and the latter two are quite limited. Of course, no spoils of victory besides money rewards can be kept, as everyone is back in the lobby at the round's end.
This system worked well aside from some nasty abuses and griefing -- rounds were won by OP builds, not OP equipment. Given that Requiem perk and stat system was all over the place permanently, it opened up lots of interesting possibilities.
Nah this will make it like hinkley then. I want it where people HAVE to take their own gear, that way they'll lose it, maybe gain some more gear, or none at all during this fight.
OVERALL : People are complaining that it will remove people from core. It won't exactly remove them unless there's a 30+ team swarming groups of 15 or less. If ever implemented it should be on during some days, like weekends for instance and a day during the week.
