Title: Random Thoughts
Post by: BigR on February 22, 2009, 03:59:45 PM
Based on my experience this weekend, here are some random thoughts.

1. Create a 10 second timer after spawn where you cant be killed or damaged.
2. If an enemy is parked directly on an airbase spawnpoint, when someone spawns, make the camper insta-die.
3. Perk the fluff'n Wirb and the IL2 w/ 37mm
4. Do something about Alternate accounts occupying enemy shore batteries, and moving CVs. (This may be hard, but HT is smart, he can come up with something.) During a jokers jokers attack yesterday, they brought a CV right off shore. The SB was up, and occupied, but never fired a shot. It was at point blank range too. (Maybe we should have a voting system to get people out of the SB? Or ranking system like CV control? I dunno..any ideas?)
5. Encourage Training so people will actually fight instead of running to their horde every time they get in trouble.
6. Give us a real-time buddy list so we can keep track of our squadies and where they are at. .sr is very cumbersome.
7. Individual volume for every player on vox. (Some guys are super quiet and some are super loud...sometimes this comes down to a limitation of hardware and is not fixable on their end ,so volume adjustments would be nice.)

im sure some people did just that. But thats not the point. The point is there is too much gamey crap going on right now and so far nothing has been done to stop it. Some of these mega squads cant get by on their numbers alone, but have to game the game to the highest degree possible to achieve their objectives. Instead of being good, they rely on numbers (which is fine) and tactics that do not follow the spirit of the game. Most MMO's call them exploits, and ban them from being employed.

1.) Won't happen
2.) Won't happen
3.) If not perk, fix thw Wirble
4.) GameID tag above it would be nice
5.) That won't change anything
6.) Has been asked for before, I've got my hopes up!
7.) I don't understand this, YOU can adjust the Vox volumes for other players's voices?

Wish List...?

Some good random thoughts.  Doubtful for most;  "Give me, give me, give me!" is never a good way of asking for anything...

The shore battery thing has always made me wonder.  I've seen in plenty of times where it's occupied yet never fires a shot. 

Makes me  :noid :noid

Spikes, i mean for each player individually. Or at least a feature that normalizes the vox so everyone is the same volume.

I hope that no land grabbing squad would be so lame as to actually send a player to the other side to occupy a SB to ensure the success of their mission.  I highly doubt Joker would let anyone do that.  From what I've seen recently, Joker Joker missions have not been avoiding combat and have been fun for everybody.

Well i never said it was them doing it. But it was during one of their attacks.
