Tickets for tanks rather than infantry.

You're probably thinking of a different game.

 

tanks r 4 fags

 

Having played empires lately, this is exactly what happens.

this thread was zombied by me, because i think it is better to suggest this idea again than to make a new thread

also i should be playing but my team is losing because no more spawn points

 

Haha, this hits close to home.

 

lol tickets for tanks. I duno. Resources = what then? Res notes give tickets at a slow rate as well?

Also... wtf I didn't comment on this thread when it was made? Must have been my dark age when I had no internet for a while.

 

I don't see this working without breaking all the maps we have.

 

stop being a dumbass past-empty

 

But thats actually correct

 

I think this is the solution, and I think we should try it in one version. 1 res node gives 1 ticket every [600/(number of players on a team)] seconds

for 20 vs 20 every res node would give 1 ticket per 30 seconds
for 10 vs 10 every res node would give 1 ticket per 60 seconds
and for 5 vs 5 every res node would give 1 ticket per 120 seconds


ENDING GAMES BY PREVENTING PLAYERS FROM PLAYING IS NOT HOW GAMES SHOULD WORK. BECAUSE IT IS NO FUN, AND DOES NOT ENCOURAGE ATTACKING.

 

That is the definition of a game's end.

 

I think the asymmetry in this context is what gets people.

Or it might be the lag between an "end" and the next "beginning" for certain individuals. I mean, it's cool to have an end, but there has to be a "beginning" shortly after. That doesn't happen for everyone when tickets run out.

 

Removing tickets would just push everything down the shithole.
Any sort of tactic like forcing people to killspawn ( faking a cv rush, pushing apcs) now either has no effect or no downside.
It would also lead to stupid bullshit like suiciding when you dont have much ammo but dont feel like walking to an armory, not to mention of shifting infantry combat to full yolo mode.

 

If you cant win the game with 200 tries or 300.
Then you probably don't deserve to win.

0 tickets signify the game is ending, be the tickets dried up too quickly or not.
By making it harder to win, makes it end much faster and forces both teams to pull out the all or nothing gamble.

 

Have we talked about what would happen if dying used a ticket instead of respawning?

 

People said that going to your rak and re-spawning yourself to where the whiny kid on the mic said shouldn't cost a ticket, but suicide and forward spawning does.

People dying and choosing the option to re-spawn should waste a ticket.
It would make revive pointless if you loose a ticket regardless if you re spawned or not and make shit players grief their teams even more.

Not to mention reving players to just die again would drain all the tickets faster.

 

Ummm revive being turned from the one of the core mechanics into outright griefing?
Do you actually think before you post
