You seem to want HTC to change the game for everybody else so that YOU can have exactly what YOU want.
Why would someone post a “wish” advocating something that they didn’t want?
(Which I suspect is the ability to spawn camp with relative impunity because nothing kills a perfectly good spawn camp like a few bombs)
The OP is referring to OzKansas TT island. Note that all GV spawns on OzKansas TT island are inside VBase hangers, so you can’t spawn camp in the classic sense. Also, don’t jump to conclusions as to the OP’s motives. In this case, Chaser was operating his GVs in what I call “furball” mode, maneuvering over the hills and shooting from selected positions. This is the GV analog to AC furballing, and differs from camping a spawn, or shooting from the VBase tarmac, which are essentially stationary.
The furball areas at the center of a few of the maps currently in rotation are not for gvers alone. They exist so that ALL players can up and quickly find something to entertain them, yes even if that something is bombing GVs. There are plenty of tools already available designed to increase the survivability of your tank and it is nobody's fault but your own if you choose not to use them.
The “available” tools are grossly inadequate, as you would know if you GVed much. That’s why we have these threads. Also, note that most of them are asking for GV-safe areas on a ***small portion*** of the map, and not the entire thing. Thus, from the OPs’ perspectives, the over-the-top responses received by these threads from non-GVers or horde GVers seem unreasonable. The insulting and patronizing language used in most of these responses doesn’t help much either.
Now Karnak’s concern is valid, and unlike most respondents, he tries (initially anyway) to be civil. Hopefully some solution can be found to satisfy all reasonable parties.
