Center crowded

[op2rules]

Anyone here find that often times when no FG is going on and pop is at a mid-high range the center is too crowded?

 

The Fix? Introduce new activities to take place in center, like powerballing with goals IN CENTER to bring people to the edges of center rather then balled up by safe. What else? Having my minibase (one that doesn't fail). What else? Maybe make center a more irregular shape, or something more shaped so that the direction you take from safe is more of an area of center secluded from the rest, but not inaccessible.

First, powerballing in center would make it more crowded. Second, your minibase is a lot bigger, making center smaller. I have no idea why you thought those ideas would make center less crowded, but clearly they are not the issue.

This.

 

Edit:

Also my minibase was the exact same size as the original one, yours seems to be narrower but taller, but all in all they are relatively the same size, except my minibase would work a lot better than yours because in mine it is divided into small sections where you aren't being bombarded left right and center. It isn't like a flagging base where you can only push in one direction. That is the biggest flaw I see in the one you made, if somebody is at the back and you go to attack them, and then somebody enters in after you, you're 100% screwed. If it's divided into sectors (like mine) where you can squirm into a little side area and let the person at the back focus on one opponent (you or somebody else in the base) then more people could fit in the same sized minibase at the same time. It also requires more skill than semi-random spam in the general direction of the opponent.

 

Either way if you would like to discuss this further please make a new topic or do it via pm. The purpose of this one is to discuss ideas of how to spread out the centering population, as It's too crowded during most active times of the zone. It's gotten to the point where you kill somebody, and if you are a screen away from the center safe you have a super high chance of getting killed simply because you have low energy and somebody right next to you doesn't.

Solutions?

Ban prox in centre. Will make it feel less crowded.

And since we're already on the topic, might as well ban bombs from basing as well.
