Depleting clock: After round 6 lose a second off the round clock. This should put the last few rounds of battle in the 15 second range. Overall game length would be shortened and engagement would increase.
No - People who lead FFs need that clock to stay the same. Sometimes I barely get my order typed out with players having time to react to it.
Second Set: For offline players they "set" with a little red icon. What if players can have a second "set" in yellow and dictate the round it takes place. So Imagine if round 40 all players go flag.
Yes - Second set sounds like a nice idea Soo many times we have soo many offies in FF and wish we could move them.
Fullscreen: Why the hell am I looking at this map for ants? The rest of the game features are on pause. Just mimic the adventures and make it full screen
No - I look at all kinds of stuff while leading FF I do not want to be limited.
Script Integration: The stats should be visible in regular game that others create script for.
Yes - I do not use script and count on others to show me HP stats at beginning of FF and there are other things like damage per round and stuff that others can see and I can not as a FF leader this could be a necessary tool.
Animation: Tiny pea crossing the board is cool. But can we have animation from when someone ghosts...or crits. Simple stuff like that.
No - This does not seem like it is needed.
Fade to Black. Entire square unit should fade with hp loss.
No - Players move around the board I think black would make stuff difficult to see.
Coin Toss: Until first round begins you don't know which team shoots then moves...the other moves than shoots.
Yes - If it was a real attack in the real west wouldnt the attackers shoot first sometimes.
Stats: You should be able to find out what gear/boosters the other team is rocking.
No - This seems like it would be spying. plus you can look at what players are wearing by way of the location dot or player rankings outside FF.
Crow flies: The AI that controls the movement pattern for "setting" should be able to set to current...or as the crow flies.
ex. start SE corner on defense and set for AT3 (Toon goes thru north). As the crow flies would mean they go thru the WT or EW or any entrance not blocked. If blocked they stay until not blocked.
No - That player would never reach AT3 having to go directly through the fort. Do you play FFs?
Leader: Each team elects one player to be "leader" That players stats are boosted. this makes them a larger target to kill from other team.
No - I am a leader and I do not need boosted stats making me more of a target while trying to lead. Again Do you play FFs?
Chat Death: Once a player dies in FF...they are terminated from the chat...protect your leader.
No - This would not be a good idea Some leaders are damagers and some are tanks but if I die I cant lead anymore because cant see chat. You do not even play ffs.
Post Chat Dump: Once game ends both teams are dumped into a post game chat for 5 minutes. Yes, there will be trash talking but also comradery.
No - I see this as a way that would promote trash talk and more trolling and stuff that we already deal with too much. That camaraderie you speak of is also done in regular saloon When we say Good Game and stuff like that It is a display of good sportsmanship and maybe people who didnt attend / participate may be encouraged to attend / participate in next FF seeing the 2 teams being friendly in public saloon.
Symmetry: The game was designed with a north we have not seen but lights up sometimes...just the edge in LOS. We should clone the south of the map and make it available in the north. Northgate and Southgate. Reds have 4 sides to setup from.
No - I am for different map styles or some type of different fort set ups but this suggestion would only make 2 sides of the fort have 4 tower los. A south attack as it is is already at a disadvantage because of 4 towers los.
Server Challenge: Do a FF event server. Let players clone their best toon. Players only start with what they have equipped...no inventory.
I wouldn't mind some kind of fort challenge on just regular servers. The player base is too spread out as it is with soo many players playing on all or soo many of the existing worlds.
I'll add: Put Deserters on the battle report, but with blank results (not zeros).
I could see putting this on the battle report Yes Then we could better see who signed up and didnt show up and if its a pattern with that particular player or not.
Black lists. An ally should be able to maintain a short list of players not allowed to join battles on their side
Not sure on this topic Would need a better explanation other than just blocking someone from choosing your side.
Position shielding. Non-ally’s can’t see where others are set (or the topic) for the first 5m or until you are ranked, and traitor ranks can’t see sets.
No - There are many non allies that are freelancers that regularly join battles on either side and we need all to see where we are set and see topic as many are also offline durring battle. Agree on traitor ranks but I have only used that particular rank a few times when being trolled or suspected someone was only there to spy.
Yes please, we have a lot of issues with some accounts signing up for our side on Vegas and never attending fights, while passing on where we start, signup numbers and battle topic to our opponents. This might be also happening on other worlds and sadly there is no way to prevent it right now.
You do this all the time in Jaurez. Sign up without having the intent of showing up.
Desertion lockout. When you desert a battle you are locked out of joining a fort fight for 23h.
No - I can think of many reasons why a plyer may accidently miss a FF. They could have some kind of power / internet outage. RL happens and something came up. I have been doing pre FF stuff ranks and chats befor battle I changed my guys clothes geared and equiped for FF set movement to FF and forgot to wake him up so he leaves the nearby fort he is sleeping in. Get dueled on the way to FF and KOed and dont have fast enough gear or enough nuggets or stuff in inventory to get filled again and get to FF. and there are probably more scenarios that I didnt think of None of these should be a reason to penalize the player and not allow them to join the next FF.
