Welcome to the Party Zion o7.

Hope you packed a lunch it going t be a long trip

I've added you to the CPM1 Candidate Chat on Skype!

Welcome to the race mate.

With no player trading on the table I want Dust514 players to have the ability to liquidate any assets they choose by selling it back to the NPC Market for ISK. We have **** will never use and we want it sold for something.

Nice to meet you Zion,
You got my vote simply for the comment above ^

I regard this as one of the most important things for Dust 514 left to do.
Push for this, and I will be happy

Shad,

I suspected you might become involved in the CPM race at some point; glad to have another candidate for the race.

With the introduction of what we now know as Project: Legion the landscape has changed for the CPM hopefuls. You have two focus areas to help the community out with Dust and the development of Legion. Outside of your media work many haven't seen you and ZionTCD in game for a while (i know you still play though) ...are you guys involved in the recent PC district shuffle?

Enough said bro

Still have your back

Seriously bro, After meeting you at FF I think you would be a great addition to the CPM1. You're very direct and have the means/channels to get the much needed reform.

Zion, you know me, so I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I have to call you out on one notion. The "removal of red zones" would be a completely irresponsible change. The red zones are, in many matches, the only area players can possibly recover from an unending murderous slaughter. If you remove the red zones, the sole response to being five-capped will be to leave match. Because there will be no point in doing anything else.

The redline isn't the problem. The problem is where the redline is located. Players need a fallback position. However, the issue with the redline is that high-elevation sniper perches overlooking the entire map is in the redline. There's no problem with snipers, or them using high ground, which is their ideal places. The problem is that those spots are in the redline.

All that really needs to be done, is the redline needs to be redrawn so it does not have a direct overlook over the combat area. People should be able to fall back to the redline, but they shouldn't be able to see the entire map while still behind the redline.

Of course, you're entitled to your view (and certainly not all CPM candidates should have the same views), but at the very least, I'd like to hear some justification for the intention.

I'm so disconnected with Dust that i had just started to write a very agressive post regarding your candidacy. Why ?

Because for a second i mistook you with CEO pyrex

So bottom line, i got nothing to say. Good luck with that CPM endeavor

Redlining is caused by poor map design.

WTF HAPPENED TO ReGnYuM ?
God I miss the old days !

Red lines and map design is tricky. If you make a bowl, you give advantage to the Red line. But if you make a hill, you can make it to easy to be red lined. Is there a simple answer... Maybe not, but testing is a good start and something we have not seen much of.

Whats your thoughts on a solution? I would like your feedback.

Man this made me laugh while drinking coffee this morning. Thank you for the Good Luck and glad you stop by

The hills on the edge of a map serve to help cover up the fact that there is much less detail beyond the hard redline. That being said, if the hardware is capable of handling the rendering and generation of a massive area without loss of fidelity in the graphics, the need for these barriers is diminished.

Maybe he's forgotten that he is supposed to be a troll?

Nope ReGnYuM is now a failed troll....... His question to CCP after the Dust 514 Legion keynote 'will heavies be able to carry light weapons' <-LMFAO

Zion Shad is so lucky. He brought the oh-so-very-fun topic of red-line into his thread.



Quote mining to add, the new Fractured Road, Boarder Gulch, and Impact Ridge are all a single terrain. You can take a dropship and within 20 seconds examine the map to see they are fully constructed but without any surface installations.

You can do the same on the older maps... but you don't find any of the other maps connected to them.

Line Harvest is probably the best example of a terrible red-line map. On the attacker side you spawn up high, then go down to "sea level" then find 2 hills on each side, 2 buildings, and another structure which all gives you high ground.

And on the defender side the Hill in the back is too far to get to and harbors Thale's users.

(Though I really love the terrain inside the map on Line Harvest, it's one of my favorites because there's a sufficient amount of cover for Infantry to move around in, unlike the 3 most recent additions.)
