Server Downtime for Patch January 9, 2014 6 AM PT (3 PM CET)

luperza
instead of the standard rotation where the TR are on the left of the VS and NC are always on the right how about we swap just 2 warpgates so we can fight a different faction in different areas?
like this
---VS---
-//-----\\-
TR---NC

or

---TR---
-//-----\\-
NC---VS

or

---NC---
-//-----\\-
VS---TR

there was a thread around listing how long each faction has had the north warpgate in total time and TR has had it close to the same amount of time as VS

and since that was done in december i guess TR have had it the longest

NC have barely had the north warpgate

*Ahem*.... most fun.

It's on a scale because of the overall size of the continent.

The NC had the north warpgate the lowest cause it doesn't sit well with their tanks. Their tanks are slow and in that open field, they are canon fodder. TR who has the fastest tank benefits from that (and surprise surprise they don't use it that well-- atleast on Connery).

TR warpgating VS at that north warpgate before now we'll be warpgating the NC.. So much fun. Yehey! I'm glad though cause I hated that northern warpgate. It is a logistical nightmare to fight anywhere near there.

I wonder how long will it take to fix flashlight + vanguard bug. Also, that controversial vanu scum on Ceres will be playing NC for a while. As much as I hate TR, their population doesnt fluctuate as much as VS pop do depending on the warpgate position/who is winning the alert. So yeah, all props for Ceres TR, they will do fine with whatever warpgate they will have.

Wait a minute. Does this mean we NC get south warpgate on Esamir again? We had it before our current western one. Sure its great for us but the others might hate it.

Glad to see no notes about fixing the continent skybox and lighting bug. I hope it becomes a feature. Or maybe you fixed it but didnt mention it.

So you want Warpgates to rotate clockwise instead of counter clockwise?

no - as i said rotate JUST 2 warpgates so we can have different battles to what we have had in the last year and a bit
usually TR are on the left and NC are on the right of VS but if you swap just 2 warpgates then it will completely change the rotation and we will have different battles

we have never had this setup ever

---VS---
-//-----\\-
TR---NC

or

---TR---
-//-----\\-
NC---VS

or

---NC---
-//-----\\-
VS---TR

its usually like this


---VS---
-//-----\\-
NC---TR

or

---TR---
-//-----\\-
VS---NC

or

---NC---
-//-----\\-
TR---VS

you must be able to see the difference yes?

Well when you put it side by side like that, yes. But I don't see the point of this.

yay, server patches always make me excite

the point is to have a little more variety and make different fights
id like to have a battle with TR over crossroads where VS is on the left and TR is on the right
id like to be able to attack NC to the north from the left warpgate and not always fight the TR
id like to be able to attack the right warpgate when VS is up north and it not always be the fighting the TR over rashnu

its always the same battles from the same direction against the same factions - changing it how i said JUST ONCE will introduce a new rotation and will put a little more variety into the battles

it wouldnt be hard for them to do and it will give us more variety - what is there NOT to like about this?

Next rotation after this one should swap VS and TR leave NC in northern warpgate.

agreed
NC have barely had the north warpgate and doing so will give us more variety

This is a really good idea, do this for one rotation then back to normal (but not normal) and itll continue to rotate out of step and freshen up the engagements, especially for the vets.

The warpgate rotation this soon proves 1 point. 75% of the dev's are vanu loving, spandex wearing bullet hogs. Bring it on with your rotation TR are ready.

Eh? No fix for the NS7 PDW??

OMG NEW HELMETS! <3 I hope there's a decent one for NC, since they only got 1 helmet instead of 3 like the other factions on the last depot helmet wave.

I just wish theyd find a way to automate gate changes so we all get a fair time and theres none of this complaining or comparing history.

i cant believe i missed your post and had exactly the same idea

anyways i totally agree - i have been asking for just 2 warpgates to be rotated for a while now

Still no fix for the NS-7 PDW? The reload is broken from "cassette player" to "average VS weapon."
