Things are a tad different today. Capture system has been lowered to 40% which
SHOULD make life (win the war) easier.
However, with regard to this thread as
WAS I will interject. This furball Island map has been up close to a month for a couple of reasons.
1) Capture percent set to high from the get go with 4 UNcapturable bases.
2) Server crashes
did not rotate the maps. In-fact it kept resetting the same one.
3) The powers to be havn't reset the map on a weekly bases.
4) Time zones and players around the planet allow captured fields to be recapture in off peak.
So with the map being up so long many players are / were getting a tad miffed with it. Something had to be done. When the map was first up Bish put up a good show taking fields in the conventional way. That's to say taking fields on the peripheries...only to lose them again the following day. This is when I realised (short of an all out surrender/ no show of players) that this 50% system was
un-settable. I posted about it and went furballing on the Island. Did seem rude to go without bombs for GV's though
.
Under the 33% rule TT needn't be touched because resets were obtainable, all be it with some juggling. I will add that kicking enemy out off TT under the 33% rule would be counter productive to win the war because you face a larger force on the out side. That said we were facing a 50 50 system and one month of the same map.
So... I would ask those that opposed the taking off TT to Zoom out of the map and take a good look. Note the uncapturable field on each sides main land / HQ. They are on the peripheries of this map. Remember that Bish did in fact put up a good show but couldn't hold 50% of one team while going for the others 50%. Note that the Bish were saving TT till last. Their win the war strategy didn't work
Now with that map zoomed out would it make sense to you to PUSH out from the uncapturables to the centre or would it make sense to PUSH from the CENTRE out ?
To me the major stumbling blocks under the 50 50 are those uncapturable. If the conventional approach was taken like the Bish did earlier in the TOD you have to get past some uncapturables to take the capturable fields beyond. Meanwhile Furball Island is in your rear doing you up the rear..... You may argue the toss over this but that's the crooks of it.
As to Dredger purposfully spoiling your fun I don't think so. Same terrain up for a month and the number of POSTS about the same terrain...get a grip.
As to even thinking he intentionally shut down TT so he could use your resources to win the war.... you flatter yourselves friends. Dredger has been here a number of years and knows the score.
I'll concur with Dredger that the uncapurable would be better placed on Furball Island just for the harmony of the player base with a 50 50 system.
This thread is about done
because the capture percent is NOW 40 40 90
