New Teams Server? - Page 3

Vandy · #1 09-01-2013, 11:19 AM

These aren't classic servers and there is no way to reproduce 100% classic experience.
That being said I'm interested in the modified Ruleset that was posted for SZ.

It has aspects added to help balance the huge advantages of going Evil

I don't like everything in the proposal but for the most part seems pretty interesting.

Planetside was (and Planetside 2 IS) way better for the 3 teams setup [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well they are hoping to pull as many people from the blue server as they can so it's not totally out of place.

It's important to know what a blue player would want to get them to move over to teams

So he's either too stupid to know where PvP discussion is going to take place, or he knows where the discussion is and he is actually just trying to subliminal message people into thinking about red.

As a blue player I just assumed to post in the blue forums, sorry Tec didn't mean to anger you on a minor issue such as posting subject matter in what I now know is the wrong place. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

*edit* Also should add I didn't really bother to check the red forums, although I've played it a little I don't often venture to the pvp forum.

*edit edit* I like the idea of a fresh classic start in response to your post Rec, classics fun lol and teams seems like it would give a good in between for red and blue players being that you'd have an alliance to depend on as opposed to being solo on red or left without the option of killing people on blue. Anyway is has appeal imo because of the fact that a. its another classic start and b. teams give you a little bit of a homebase in terms of groups, crowds etc.

No apolgies necessary, I mostly play blue too and don't really go to the red section that much. I had been looking forward to the twitch feed for weeks but completely forgot about it till I saw your thread. So, thanks for posting.

Even if you were trying to get people to come to red, who freaking cares? We don't need self appointed forum police, and anyone who doesn't want to read something are *gasp* more than welcome to not read it. The fact that someone would actually take the time to create and post a gif in a thread that they clearly have no interest in anyway is just LOL

The existing red99 characters are going to be copied over to blue99 in 6-12 months per the "no-wipe" policy.

The good news for you guys is that TMO will finally have some competition with Nihilum.

I like Tiggles. He's missing some facts about SZ. Like that fact that it wasn't a classic box at all, ever.

SZ went live during Velious. That's classic era as most consider it. Luclin came a few months later and the portals of that, along with the later clicky books and pok of PoP worked heavily against the nature of that particular ruleset. Don't know about that personally because I was only there for the first few months, but during the time I was there it was awesome.

And he's right...SZ ruleset was an answer to what was wrong with the the other zeks. And it appealed to the broadest base of players.

I had the twitch thing running while I was doing other things, but it sounds like they are wanting to put in narrow pvp level limits and training came up, but I'm not sure what they said about that. If they go with a ruleset like SZ but put in level limits and disallow training they are going to cock up the whole thing up. SZ had a balance to it that worked.

Fix resists and go with the straightup SZ ruleset as it was on SZ, with velious at release, and this server will be fantastic.
