I acualy agree whit you on this one!

Walls shulda been the thing whit gamma not terraforming because some ppl in beta sugjested it.
There is no good way to relly balance terraforming is broken to hell and back.

Ppl dont even have to fight turrets as it stands now just terraform a way around effectivly making turrets in to trees

Without terraforming, terrain and island types actually become a lot more important than now. But it would also be possible to build very hard to penetrate bases: Think of turreted wall with double reps and double armor boosters on them. Huge amount of DPS and work to break without being able to use any kinds of terraforming.

But It's a nice dream.

"Tick-tock, it's june, oh-no-my-gamma-got-rolled"?

You know where we are and have been uninterrupted since the beginning of Gammas. o/

QQ much?

*sniff* aw you hurt my efeelings

Ain't nobody got time for hating on the guy who gave you your only PvP the last 5 months

Oh leave it already. I'm sure everyone would love to abandon 1.5 years worth of fixes and new features just because gamma is broken.

Actually that would be great if it would be possible. Unfortunately software development doesn't work like that.

Gamma is a huge mess right now. The only fix I can see that has a chance of improving things in an easy way is the removal of all non beacon Terra forming. Single tile Terra forming is *** overpowered.

One of the issues with Gamma is people are using terraforming as functional Walls, instead of using Walls.

Figure out why TF is better than Walls, and then rebalance.

People need to be able to attack Gammas.  Right now they can, just too fast.  If your not base capped on an island you could literally got to sleep and wake up to turrets surrounding your base.

You cannot live with afk defenses on Gamma. All base defenses do (and should do) is provide enough time for the base owner to actually put bots on the island to defend.  Good defenses should allow at least 4-6 hours of warning before a base is breached. That should be enough time to respond. And if you can't you deserve the consequences of what happens after a breach.

I would prefer to see people unable to wall off teleports, but able to build fortified bases that are difficult but not impossible to breach. How thats achieved, who knows. Limits on structures on islands, or connections to terminals, or limits to terraforming, whatever combination works.

I agree with you here, but I also think the Gamma is still a work in process and a lot of nessecary items are missing(highways, gates, proper gamma walls etc.) Another issue is when people use terraforming as walls and then figure out it doesn't really work like a proper wall should work due to some weird calculations in LOS calculations.

But it's something you have to learn if you wish to survive with current mechanics.

Best protection for Gamma is maxed out terminal number on island. While it doesn't sound most eloquent mechanic, it does provide best protection which is quite sad.

Basically those guys who can't go and put up all the terminals right away(most of the people) are at disadvantage. I propose to add a mechanic that would disallow anyone to just come and build a terminal on claimed islands. It could take the form of a structure that needs to be first shot to reinforced and then 3 days later killed or something else. Just give people who are not able to build all the terminals up right away some sort of buffer-time against anyone coming in at night and dropping a terminal and a bunch of turrets.
