New Warpgates positions... your thoughts?

DawnDude · 2012-09-13, 11:32 AM

hey guys just wanted to know what do u think about the new warpgates positions? better ? worse ? advantages ? disadvantages? whatever u think.

meh... Same shit different story. Who own what warpgate does not really matter does it? It's more a question about map design as I see it. North will always be easier to defend no matter who owns it.

ya i know but i ment if u like it better? like for the faction u play as? do u preffer the place that u defend now better or worse? and why? thats what i ment like what terrain do u like fighting over more

I hate the east area cause it's too scrunched together. I like the south west area the most cause it's more open but has some terrain features such that allows you to maneuver and hide but doesn't restrict vehicles as much. I kind of like the north area but it seems too hard to get up there due to how open the area is.

I like the south east because it is infantry friendly. Of course my armor buddies hate it.

What's not to like? It is good that they keep rotating them so that they get more feedback from players on how it is to play from each WG. It also helps players understand the strengths and weaknesses of owning each WG.

Oh YEAH, now the TR are going to hold one half of the map!

I actually wouldn't mind if they cycle though the warpgates each month or so.

DawnDude · 2012-09-13, 12:40 PM

well imo im happy that they changed the NC wapgate location, at least for now (im nc) cuz i have always played against the TR and had barely any fights against the VS so defending the canyons could be cool

new terrain for me! cant w8 till the servers are up again so i can try it out myself

I agree. And I'm not fan of the sand storms either.

+1

I actually thought this was how they were doing it since I had seen maps with the warpgates switched.

Yeah, you pretty much need to run around in a Sunderer with a few guys to recap everything those NC hoppers skip around in the East...

Finally got fed-up and charged them back, ended up taking two bases right in front of their Warpgate!

I hate the idea! There must be another solution.
I would recommend the return of the sanc and connections for each faction to each warpgate.

When I logged in today, I thought something was wrong with my video settings, it was too bright. Then after a reboot to try and fix it, I realized we were up north this time. Had to get used to the terrain and that huge canyon I fell into. :P

Thinking the same thing about sanc and choosing where you want your lines rather than rotating. Higby said in the last AGN that he wanted this to be a player run world so maybe they will listen. Manually rotating bases is not the way (IMHO), the empires should be able to choose what land they want to claim/keep/defend. Right now it is being given to us. I know they are dealing with other important things and lack of continents so this is the best I expect for right now. Just food for thought in the beta feedback.
