Yet another crazy MC Banhammer idea to nerf klan vanilla | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
This idea came to me when I realized that real forums often have a lot of people visiting them at a time. So it doesn’t make sense that after every post while you’re pwning them, there’s only one person coming back at you.
What if the forums attacked you as they do now, and then again every five or ten seconds later as well, until you “respond”, resetting their timer?
That would simulate reality a bit, and nerf klan vanilla by making anchors much harder to maintain.
Mind you, never having participated in an anchor raid, I have no idea how this would work in practicality. So again, I throw it out for discussion. |

Would need a rebalance that would affect not only Domination, but grinding in general.
Also would screw people new to the game. |

if it makes it harder for single raiders and smaller klans, then bad idea. |

Why do you feel that way? I don’t remember timing attacks ever being an issue. |

We need nothing more than an incentive to destroy at this point. I destroy for the joy, but I think more people would jump on the bandwagon if there was a reward potential beyond having fun annoying your fellow gamers. http://www.forumwarz.com/domination/show_team/1

Forumwarz is meant to be a casual game. Not everyone has the time and will to do speedruns to avoid multiple attacks. On my PoV, PrayPal grinding would be much worse if I didn’t chat on IDC/IRC/Gtalk while grinding it. With attacks every 5~10 seconds, that wouldn’t be possible anymore.
The idea is not really bad for Domination, but it won’t affect only Domination. New players would require more consumables to pwn forums equal to their level. Not everyone can 1-shot threads.
IE this wouldn’t affect Domination by a lot. Fran edited this message on 08/04/2008 11:19AM |

I don’t like the idea. I usually take my time when I’m grinding. Also, I’m kinda on call, so if I’m in the middle of grinding, and I need to run somewhere for a little while, I don’t wanna come back half an hour later and find myself dead. |

Hm, okay. What if it only happened if you were active in a raid? |

Then I agree with it. Since you want to nerf klan vanilla… |

Sitting with one thread left to pwn, waiting for your klan’s dom count to go down to 11, could take a while. Wouldn’t you get eaten alive just for doing nothing? With the turn-based element changed to real-time, it’d be unfair for the forums to damage you at any time without being able to heal at any time. |

Well you could heal, that’s part of the deal. So it would cost you to anchor, which is the whole idea. |

If it would only affect someone in a raid, they could just have non-raiding klannies take anchors, then they could join afterward. |

Well I also don’t think that klan membership should be changeable during a raid. |

Not leaving and joining the klan (which, yea, boo that), I mean joining a raid while it’s in progress. Someone not in the raid grabs an anchor, thus not getting time damage. Then afterward, they could just join the raid and reap the benefits. |

That alone would halve the number of scoops it’s possible to obtain (in a reasonable time period that is)
It’s a known fact that klan raiding is pretty darned easy at the moment (certainly easier than solo raiding) I wouldn’t mind some measure to make it more interesting and/or challenging, just as long as it’s an idea that’s playable and fun. meeeeeeeeee edited this message on 08/04/2008 4:01PM |

Thank you. Didn’t know if I’d be able to make it mainly due to Velveteen. I ended up having to use Mods to get more destruction. And now some inconsiderate people have put like 4 scoops back, so I need to go kill those. scully edited this message on 08/04/2008 7:36PM |
