base 5

[kid]

it is long and has tons of bomblines.

 

 

what is this, amateur hour?

[omnomnom]

It is rigged. A Spider or Leviathan dep could probably win against a Lancaster with summon with a base of that size if they started from the very front. A Summon Lanc like this just seals the attacker's grave... best hope on attacking is to have some flags or the defenders are not at the front of the base their self.

The larger the FG, the more rigged it gets. 5v5? No problem. 10v10 and the offensive team won't even make it past the second corridor.

 

It should be noted that this base was not designed by our usual, experienced, mapper. The previous base made by Myollnir was removed only after a few days. To see this one on the map for two weeks is a joke.

 

I don't want to hurt his feelings or anything but he just does not have the capacity to properly plan and execute a successful base design in its entirety.

IME this kind of bitching is what kills zones. People no doubt have a shitload of FUN in that base. Sometimes it's not your turn, that should make it more fun when it is.

So you'd rather Hyperspace is a nice happy land where no one complains and everyone pretends they love each other, even if they feel otherwise?

 

The base has its fun aspects, yes. But the base is long.

 

EDIT: Its length is not so fun unless you like your stacked odds. Wouldn't people want a fair game?

what you really need to pay attention to is the inconsistencies of every base on the map. There are bases that are longer and narrower b4,b5 that takes more time to attack, then there are shorter bases. it's result of bad mappers

Ya who made the map. They should be fired.

[espo]

nah, the base just needs to be 86ed and a different one put in its place.

If a base is impossible to attack then there is no incentive to have a flag game at all. It will be whoever grabs that base first, wins. Instead of "sometimes it's your turn", it will be "sometimes there is an engaging flag game."

 

A flag game is fun when both parties have an equal chance at winning. A back and forth battle of effort and skill.

Both parties never have an equal chance.

[P Nut]

An equal chance given by the environment. Which in most of Corey's new bases is present. Edited December 15, 2010 by P Nut

Have you ever been in this base?

LOL?????? I'm hoping this is a joke! Even if it DID bring a "shitload of FUN" to the zone a base that unbalanced doesn't belong in an already imbalanced zone.

Better yet, get rid of base 5 (it's too long) and replace it with an even longer base that spans two sectors.

 

[Corey]

better yet, take a look at the actual bases in sectors 4 and 5 before comming and posting another useless post here.

I was being sarcastic
