well you see, step 10 is getting into a circle with no pants on...

We've got plenty of bots and mechs. N-A is the one who lost em chief.  Get your facts straight at least if you're gonna troll that way

you're a bad troll. or a ***. either way.

just....no.

the whole point is that you shouldn't be able to jump what you want in, take all the time you need, set up, and give yourself all the intel and advantage you need to move forward. You should also not be able to simply put eyes on a gate in an arkhe and leave it there to get 100% perfect, easy intel.

lets use last night as an example shall we?

M2S jumps in. we group to engage, they run the hillmanoc and plop out lawn chairs.

we spend half an hour watching them, and they simply jump in another group, and split them off, knowing full well we can't leave the group on the gate, and we didn't have enough to withstand a two sided attack, so there we sat.

Without the safe zone, we could've popped them where they sat, or at least moved off if they chose to sat on alpha, and gotten half the squad dealt with while they were teleporting in.

Also the scouting this is obvious garbage, and frankly I'm amazed that made it past beta but I don't know. That being said, a timer, with a movement/area based forfeit penalty would be perfect. it involved risk, keeps people from running 1000 miles away before they can be attacked, and means jumping afk isn't possible.

Also, if anyone jumps into a beta island, and expects it to not be camped ( at least by a scout ) even now, they're in for a surprise, wouldn't you all agree?

the question here is:

" If you wanted to play WoW, why the F**K are you here? "

overall it's not bad changes, though not entirely what I was hoping for. It should deal with the Arkhe swarm I suppose, but it doesn't deal with free unlimited scouts, and it certainly doesn't deal with 40 reds on a gate doing nothing but taking up space and forcing you to watch them.

you have some good points, and your thought process ( sad though it may be ) is sound. the issue is that the game IS low budget, and it's hard for the designers to keep up on a regular basis I'm sure. That being said, they're very involved with the game, and I would like to think they'll be implementing these things as well. Let's toast to it, and enjoy the game while we wait!

hahahaha -bump!-

Glad to have you aboard Strad at this rate we'll need a bigger vent soon

Good Luck

afternoon bump!
