Minus-Sunset...

So this is an "expanded" minus started by Binger. I will likely put some time in, since we just love our Minus. This moves the cores a bit and should add a few more nodes. I don't think I want to make it a randomizer just yet... fixed vehicle layout, or perhaps a few random spawns either a...

Re: JunkYard Randomizer Changes..

So a couple more thoughts....from some threads in other discussions. Further reduce the vehicles at 3/9. I think this is a good idea...it will help retake your 4/5 primary. I'll make these changes to the current versions and replace. I think perhaps look at either moving 4/5 closer to cores, or mayb...

Re: Map comebacks... some thoughts..

What is it Enyo says: "Torlan exposes all" In TLM, if any of the flyers (omega, wraith, link flyer) are wasted and/or team doesn't for a link chain no comeback... but no excuse for the Omega not blasting the core even if its just one hit before getting whacked, as that's a ton of core poin...

Re: Map comebacks... some thoughts..

Fixing a map like Nevermore might be less about balancing vehicles and vehicle spawn times and more about lifting the core up on a pedestal of sorts so it could be hit from a distance when it's available. A minor change like that would completely change how the map plays out. Not sure Nevermore is ...

Re: Admin's Choice, map forcing.

I would have said something about modern leaders and tweets, but I'm already on thin ice with Pooty :? lol. I have to be the mean forum admin. Politics has a way of derailing topics. Feel free to debate with civility in the off topic section. Back on topic, I don't think the occasional force is all...

Re: Map comebacks... some thoughts..

On AJY, too often mechs and op fliers spawn in the center nodes, making it once you get pushed back to your core, your team is screwed. Similar thing with VolcanoHigh. Yesterday, a bunch of bombers spawned at some nodes, letting me always have access to one and ended up dominating the map. You shou...

Re: Admin's Choice, map forcing.

Furious, thanks for the feedback, and I'd love to hear more details but, The Dria and JY maps still (barely) enable that nuance via the mino and/or nuke tank. There has also been a trend towards sniping play (Odin, Mech's, etc) which disadvantages the entire crowd that was attracted to Omni because ...

Map comebacks... some thoughts..

So the post on forcing maps, snarf's comments got me thinking about comebacks... Comebacks are always difficult in ONS. More nodes = more vehicles. If you control 6 nodes and the opponent has core, they are kinda screwed. However, I do agree they should be possible, and it requires careful planning ...
