To Zero: Business Teaser for wcs?:P

[maynard]

don't approve. saying "we have a FFA once a week!" isn't going 2 change anything.

new people come and new people go, it's the same as when the server first started... who cares if some noobs come along and finds it 2 hard and leaves. good riddance. Because the fact of the matter is... if you know how 2 aim, you can still easily level the classes without issue... more so cause as you all know, purchasing XP is an available option.

this seems like more work and shit 2 worry about for damn near no reason.

people will ALWAYS bitch... no matter what. We could have the least flawed WCS that has ever existed and people would still find things 2 complain about.

so once again, no. This accomplishes nothing..... the races we have and have released are all part of a grand balancing scheme which is based on team vs team play.

if you want a FFA WCS server... go find one and if people want free levels they can piss off and go find another server also. we have all worked for our levels... new players can as well... as we all have at one point... and in some cases like myself and others... have twice over.

As a wcs player (I don't consider myself a veteran even though I'm maxed) I think that this is a bad idea. However, apart from that, I could say that this could work with the right implementation, but Cyber, you have overlooked some important things:

1. How exactly would you advertise and spread this? How would all new people know that it's that time of WCS when they can actually enjoy all the free races?
   
   Possible solution: Have an addition in the name "All Races Available @ Saturdays." However, our server name is already more than long enough and it's unclear how many people would pay attention to that.
2. This would likely to get under more skins than you might think. I can easily imagine quite a few people who would be extremely against this idea.
3. One of the main things (at least for me personally) what kept my playing WCS was the challenge and the want to experience all races and etc. If I'd have had everything given free to me, I may have left after trying it out. The learning curve and the challenge makes it fun for quite a few people and you'd be possibly getting ridding of these.
4. Finally - and most importantly - this wouldn't work as if everyone would be aware that it's Saturday, they'd all would login (lets assume that most people would end up buying reserved slots or admins when playing at that time) and play it (since there's a fair amount of people who still don't have a lot of maxed, a lot of regulars would possibly play at this time to test out every race). Now, if server is full with RS and admins, how exactly these new players would join? Very few would be willing to pay upfront for something they haven't even tried and the server being full would make it all but impossible for any new people to come in and join the server - which I believe was the whole point of this idea.

All in all, this idea does have some promise, but it's a lot of work and the concerns need to be answered before this could be efficient.

Thats not a good idea. It also would make saturday a shitty day to play since everyone and their brother is gonna be trying to hope on vaga or some other restricted race. The point of the mod is to progress and learn along the way a Free for All solves nothing, and would make people less apt to play during the week if they know on saturday they can just hope on and do what they want. whats the incentive to keep playing and earning levels if they can just walk in and do as they please.

Terrible.

I highly disagree with the whole "Give everyone every a total level of 976 for a day each week"

RATHER:

They want to try it out? Go to the WCS Test Server with a friend. You won't be playing for rank or anything, rather you can just goof off there with a max level race and nobody really bother you until you come back to the live server. In the end - the new people can go suck it up and get killed by me playing Vagalion until they figure out how to counter properly.

Did not think about the test server-.- ... Yeahh nvmd. I was up all night trying to procrastinate my report... Ended up writing THIS piece of shit of a report instead lol... Oh well, it was a random suggestion. Like i said above, i moved my first post to a 'first 24 hours free' instead of every week. But still, i forgot Bout the test server, even if it usually has non-live races, they can test shit there...Heck we should start redirecting newbies over there until theyr get the hang of it, or raped in the face by esp hacking bots (man i hate those fuckers)

Edit; this post was on an iphone. Leave it the fuck alone and all it's typos..

The only problem with that is that test server hasn't been up for a while recently...

It is up now, I had taken it down for a bit b/c I was not using it.
