"in which case the dweebs will switch to the winning side to grab reset perks"

Why must people continue to perpetutate this myth.

You CAN'T receive reset perk points unless you have been a member of the resetting country for at least 12 hours.

Unless these dweebs have some sort of pyshic powers and know that the reset will happen in 12 hours and 1 minute and choose to switch sides, they WILL NOT get perks points.

That doesn't stop them from switching ;)

Maybe the perks aren't even the reason for side switches near reset, maybe there aren't even side switchers and it's just many logging off...

What difference does it make?

ccvi the things that will keep your map from getting into the MA are errors and bugs.

HTC leave map setup and strategy to the terrain maker.

It really doesn't make a difference, at least to me. I could give a rats *** if you can switch sides every 5 minutes.

The myth (that beet1e was perpetuating) that one can switch sides just before an apparent reset and receive perk points is wrong ... thats all I was trying to point out ... nothing more ... nothing less.

OH and BTW ... WTFG Fester ... your Map rocks. Thanks for the effort <>

  • WTG Fester - nice map
  • Keep it mostly the same, including field spacing if that's what's wanted, but...
  • Cut down on the number of fields, and...
  • Make HQ raids by buffs viable (damn it, we have the Me163 FFS - don't need that ring of steel), and...
  • Give buffs a purpose, other than suicide dive bombing.
It's a furballcentric map; I don't mind that, as long as we can keep Pizza.

Balance, my boy, balance...;) [/B]



LOL.  Thank you for the summary.  And please note:  I wasn't whinning.  I was actually wondering how many people read all of your post.

I'm not much for prose.  I prefer just the facts, as it were.

Have a nice day and don't forget to flush after using the toilet. :)

..............and Kevlar chutes with indestructable bombers that can carry unlimited poundage due to the fact the fields will be indestructable. Maybe fighter planes that can`t shoot each other down , trade the GVs for dayglo painted buses to transport players to a large peace sign shaped field to drink virtual wine and listen to nonstop virtual music including a virtual Jimi, Janice, Country Joe And The Fish, etc. while wallowing naked in the virtual mud.(Please do not take the virtual brown acid).
Or we could just log off and go play virtual dominoes..................... ........with no spots.

What you're saying is:

If someone builds an error free map (no graphic glichtes, working spawnpoints etc.)

but with fields 100 miles apart

that one would be put up in the MA? :lol


A certain technical level surely is require, but obviously not sufficient.

Fester, I'm not whining about your map. I'm making observations about the gameplay on this map. Read the title again. And I am not alone in having noticed all the extra vulching. In addition to that, I simply asked why there were so many bases, and why HQ was buried so deeply behind enemy lines.

But it's already clear that pork-n-auger is going to be an even bigger factor than before, what with buffs starting at 10K from A21 and gliding down to A2.

Always remember, what was a popular concept one day can be the death of a game a few months later. BTDT,GTT-S.

As for changing sides to pick up reset perks, I was told that guys had done that in the past. Perhaps it was fixed. I don't know much about sideswitching. I've only done it once in the last year.

You should make your own map, Beet1e. Or just go to the DA if you don't like it. Or something else. Because, as you know, it most definitely is. At least it was, when I filmed my 27 kill mission in a P-40B in 3 minutes and 17 seconds. Of course, that was on an adult map and no dweebasaurus Rex as you probably surmised. Not to mention the fine Azerbaijan red that went well with Zucchnni's choice of entree!

Erm?

I find impossible anyone can be so bored or so self absorbed they can't just make a simple point on the bbs.

It's a shame, I might agree.
LOL! beet1e makes enormous posts like this regularly; generally to pat himself on the back. I got a bit farther than you... I finished the first paragraph.
