EdTheInvincible Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 Bricks really make basing boring so what about making bricks onetime items like reload or flashbang?You could buy em at the trading post for about 2k and just ?brick to get prized with 2 bricks.What do you think?
Dav Posted May 22, 2004 Report Posted May 22, 2004 they are needed for peole with super and shields in bases to stop them. I think 2 are good but to make them kless usefull reduce the block number.
Ladd Posted May 22, 2004 Report Posted May 22, 2004 or just only allow one ship to have 1 bricksay hmm terr
JoWie Posted May 23, 2004 Report Posted May 23, 2004 flagging has become: rocket - repel - brick - thor, it is kinda boring... so i think it would be much more fun if u had less bricks ant thors
NinjaMantis Posted May 23, 2004 Report Posted May 23, 2004 I've never seen people rocket in bases, actually.
Dav Posted May 23, 2004 Report Posted May 23, 2004 i did a couple of times, doenst get very far though.
EdTheInvincible Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Posted June 9, 2004 YAY thanks for implementing my idea.. i feel so proud
Stray Bullet Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 W00t! finally everyone has a chance at flags!
Dav Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 W00t! finally everyone has a chance at flags!not really, a fleet of 1337 ships vs a single ship or a fleet of less moded ships isnt goind to end with much contest.
NinjaMantis Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 Yeah, well, I'm still happy for the new brick system. Now I have to be frugal with my 3 bricks...
FunkmastaD Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 Too bad that they are gone when you leave, ship change or die:P
NinjaMantis Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 Well, ain't that great... good thing they're only 1k...
hsx88 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 the new thing is utterly re-*BAD WORD*-ed. I saw more bricking yesterday than ever before. Unless that was point, which I don't think it was. It's not hard to reduce the amount of bricks people use. Which ships don't you see in the base as often as others? from most often to least, it's lanc-terr-spider-jave-wb-levi. So here's what you do. terr and spider and jave don't get any bricks. Lanc gets one. wb and levi gets two or even three. Not only do you limit the amount of bricks, but you balance the ships at the same time. This way, you don't have a baseful of lancs, terrs, and spiders. Variety is key.
NinjaMantis Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 There is NO WAY IN -*BAD WORD*- I am letting you take bricks away from my precious spider...
FunkmastaD Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 This action I'm sure was to open up basing from being a trench style dragout where bricking is the only thing saving you. to a frontline Brawl where its much tougher to keep out enemies
Bomook Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Which ships don't you see in the base as often as others? from most often to least' date=' it's lanc-terr-spider-jave-wb-levi.[/quote']actually warbirds are very common inside of bases, more so than probably spiders or javelins.
picano2.0 Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Hmmm... I agree bricks were causing a problem... but now that I look there is a problem... Old SystemA new player saves up... 20k buys a brick can compete by holding a base a bit betterVet has 2 bricks and plays better and wins New systemA new player wastes money on bricks and dies... 3k wastedA new player doesn't buy brick, is bw'd by a rich bast..... I mean a vetVet buys bricks, attaches leaves rebricks has 500k to spare. EDIT: Just a bit of a suggestion... allow all ships to start with 1 brick, have 1 buyable and lower the time for use or... just remove em all together and bring em back every so often for special events.
Dav Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 to be honest i think it would have been better to make bricks spammer so thay act as a ship barrier but weapons fire can get around them.
kill Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 u need bricks ok when u play and ur stuck and 4 people are attacking u and u have 2 bricks left u'd make a box protecting urself and kill them 4
NinjaMantis Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Technically, weapon fire CAN go around them, Dav... <_< I rarely come to the position that I have people on BOTH sides of me, but even then, I buy bricks regularly thanks to my massive wealth. Also, enemies will tend to drop their own bricks, so rarely, if that situation occurs, will you manage to kill all four before the bricks fall. Here's my suggestion, though. Bricks should be like reloads and flashbangs. Not going away until you use them. Because it SUCKS to come out of a safe and get gunned dead by a random moron, losing 3k worth of bricks.
EdTheInvincible Posted June 11, 2004 Author Report Posted June 11, 2004 that was the original idea, ninja. dunno why dont they use it tho :/
