TC Zones
« on: July 20, 2012, 12:42:12 am »

Ok well we experienced PvP today, and it seems that you have to you stay in the TC zone back to the same shit. Honestly I liked the TC before the update, except for the world map camping with timer. Is it possible to have a TC system with the timer but the entire town is a TC zone like before? I myself found the game was more fun when you could TC any where and town and setup a tactic anywhere you wanted instead of the same old stupid tactics used from last wipe. What you guys think about this change? Its better than toilet control, but it was better before this update today if you ask me.

Couldn't the TC zone just be extended to cover the whole map?

I'm sure its possible I couldn't answer that but it would be very nice if that did that, and that is kind of what I'm suggestioning I liked the ability to setup any where you want more freedom not be restricted to the same crappy TC spots agian.

I agree, I'm just saying that I think that would probably be the easiest way to fix it.  I don't know how the TC zone is implemented server side, but simply extending it SHOULDN'T make it possible to evacuate to WM and keep the timer running.  Who knows.

But the limited TC zone does suck, from what I remember of it last year.

TC zone should cover the whole map, minus all buildings/glitched/too easy to defend places.

I agree it should. It's tiresome to camp the same locations. Perhaps buildings could be outruled because it always ends up with stalemate where the attackers wait outside and capturers stay in.

Be careful, this great community will create awesome tactic like camping close wm exit and leave map if enemies come...

Runaway soldiers, that's what we called them, this already happened. Camp near the exit grid, as soon as they see danger, go out, re-enter to attack or just run away. Mostly just run away, and the worst part is you can't do nothing about it, unless with some ridiculous amount of mercenaries and what not.

Which would stop the timer.

But you still wasted your time, your drugs, and revealed your forces and your intention to fight :P

I call it conceding to a stronger force.

If they run, you win.

being able to use the whole town as tc area was definitely a plus. I personally didnt see anyone camping any buildings. In fact, Gecko almost makes you camp the reactor which is rather lame and camping FLC in broken hills was also always popular.

i have to agree with posts abovce, thoes tc zones are just way to schematic after 1,5-2 years of playing on same spots. entire map as a zone sounds good for me.. but as lemark said, there is no real goal of keeping city.. its only excuse for some action. what about change a chest reward a little with random stuff ? with possible to lucky roll for some HI-TECH-SHIT like gauss ammo, colour combatarmors, pulse rifles?

Don't want to turn this thread into strategy school, but how about making the enemy believe you're less than them by entering with less people? And then spawn the swarm when the combat is on. It's only logical that enemy will retreat if they are being aproached by swarm.
If tc zones were some sort of deadlocks where you couldn't exit, weaker factions wouldn't even enter. Then there's nobody to fight.
