xprotoman23 Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1452	Posted - 2012.10.04 06:27:00 - [1] - Quote Removing the redline would not only stop boosting and the stupid redline snipers, but it would also force people to actually hold objectives in skirmish rather than running around like mindless chickens. BTW i proposed this months ago.

There shouldn't be a "safe zones" If this game didn't have safe zones people wouldn't do half the BS they currently get away with in this game. It would also give holding the objectives a much greater importance.
Sir Shoot-a-lot Algintal Core Gallente Federation 18	Posted - 2012.10.04 06:33:00 - [4] - Quote If they get removed, I'd just grab a car and start a fieldtrip all over the planet lol, but being serious, while it would fix a problem it would make another and posts about complaining about spawn campers would appear, it would bring more problems, and yes I'm a sniper but more a middle field one, the redline is too far away of the action!

Every match would turn into a squad dropped into the enemy spawns which would later be reinforced by Havs and drop uplinks

Or if you don't leave the safe zone you get no WP's, no SP's, no ISK.

Every match would turn into a squad dropped into the enemy spawns which would later be reinforced by Havs and drop uplinks When the command is an available role, I definitely think they should remove red lines. You're saying that it would make spawn camping easier, but really all it would do is strengthen the value of CRU's, drop uplinks, and transport vehicles (dropships/LAV's). If there were no redline, transportation would become a very strong role on the battlefield. A commander could drop a CRU out in the middle of nowhere (the maps are massive!) where dropship pilots could fly back and forth between the spawn and the battlefield, carrying troops to their destination. It would also mean that throwing down uplinks in various places around the battle (in the "red zone") would be useful, as you could make sure the flow of troops isn't always from the same place.

BTW i proposed this months ago. this wouldnt stop boosting at all because the map is soo large they can easily do it in another area that would usually be blocked off by redzone. nothing enforces objective gameplay unless you have a team that PTFO's
crazy space ZionTCD Legacy Rising 879	Posted - 2012.10.04 07:52:00 - [9] - Quote Simple fix, o agree take away redzone, BUT, you are safe spawning in the mcc. Allow players to get tanks and dropships right away inside the mcc. Then they can yank drop unto battle. Now this is important, battlefront style, there are 4 computer consoles in the mcc spawn room. They should control turrets on the mcc to protect the spawn point. If you are in the mcc when it dies u die too. But Seriously cam you see how useful a helipad would be on the mcc? A safe place to spawn a dropship and suit up to take a point? Listen spawning in the mcc is awesome, DO MORE WITH IT

BTW i proposed this months ago. I remember that thread. Also "danger zones" should be removed as well. Invisible walls instead than to geographical limitations are bad in a MMO, hell they are bad in normal FPS.
Talruum Tezztarozza Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 73	Posted - 2012.10.04 08:35:00 - [12] - Quote I do purpose another solution for this problem, credit to The Polish Hammer Stop ability to gain any WP under your own red zone this will stop both SP booster and redline sniper. It should be relatively simple to implement as well

The whole idea of the "sandbox" is that any player can do anything, go anywhere, and impact any piece of the world he chooses. Handicaps and safezones are damaging to the sandbox.
Xiree Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 55	Posted - 2012.10.04 09:43:00 - [14] - Quote Nope.. I proposed this 2 monthes ago.... You just got the idea from me. It would be hectic with the entire map open. I actually wouldn't mind it though... Even have the skirmishes open... But this would require the batteries of turrets be all the way around the base not just one part... Which would be cool because you could do more tactics. I hope they decide to get rid of the center point. In a RTS game -- There is no CENTER or focus of battle... There is just are and area can be fortified to help flank the weaker side of the enemy. Good idea I made two monthes ago... I should pat myself on the back.

Maybe for the nullsec stuff they can consider that, but for regular Instant Battle matches the game is not a sandbox game, it's supposed to be just a fair/fun FPS game.

Not sure if I understand how open battles would be hectic, there would be no value to "no mans land" beyond being an advancement area. The battle would still happen on/around the PI, as nobody would bother fighting over hills and mountains.

Iliana Rize 17	Posted - 2012.10.04 10:04:00 - [18] - Quote This is a great idea! These red zones are not needed, they make the game constrained square. Need open space that would understand scales.
Xiree Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 55	Posted - 2012.10.04 11:22:00 - [19] - Quote Well as I already said... It would be hectic, because the way the design the skirmish is to have a battle focal point... The funnle people to the center. I think that is lame and overly used. Its what killed MAG. In a war --- there is no 'you can't go over there... You should be able to go where you want, and not have a focal point... I still think they should not allow people to spawn camp, maybe just blown enemy up as soon as they go into a team opposing team zone. Having no red zone also should allow the team to have a 360 of defense around their base. It would be harder for enemy to spawn camp in distance that way as well... Like you normally seem being done. But it would eliminate spawn campers who try to pinch the other team in, because the other team could go opposite way around the enemy and even flank them. Idjits also been spawn camping at the MCC I think the MCC should just start bombarding enemy units under it... IT would be cool and its really needed. It would be hectic for the fact you have a few idiots that will like to pretend they don't know whats going on... Acting like they never played a shooter before, trying to make the other team win. I don't really mind those type of gamers... If they eliminated team allies off the map, unless they are in the field of view... The idiot who pretends they can't play good or just try to set the game to fail... Will not just be taking space in game, but trying to see where other allies are. It would also be hectic and time consuming traveling to point a to b... But I think it would still be fun, ya know.

Skirmish is no longer the traditional attack and defend as it's been in past builds such as replication and E3. Skirmish has evolved into a capture and hold game mode. Every point going into a match is a neutral territory both teams are able to capture. Getting rid of "safe zones" and redlines would add a greater level of strategy to the existing skirmish game mode. an aside and i'm totally firing shots at you but IDRGAF the one match I actually played with you you did terrible just like the old MAG days buddy

Khortez D Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 51	Posted - 2012.10.04 16:20:00 - [30] - Quote i'm not overly fond of not being able to leave the MCC cause 20 players are below waiting for one man to drop... with that aside i was on a team yesterday that gained an orbital strike without the red zones using the whole "Ram the car against the wall and heal it" trick. in fact it was right behind a supply depot that the enemy was holding. i don't mind losing. but i do hate not getting a chance to come back. thats what pisses me off. i still say the same thing - no WP for repairing vehicles. or like some have mentioned. a cool down to stop repeated uses. Note: You'll still get ISK and SP for not repairing vehicles just not WP so you can't orbital strike em. though if you wanna stop SP farming. stopping a person from getting SP and WP from it works too.
