Title: Bring the magic back!
Post by: T-888 on July 18, 2012, 12:20:26 pm
No TC system is perfect, they all have their flaws, certain amount of players either prefer normal TC or windows, some hope for a future version that will be superior to those that existed before. I say all of those modes could have a place, then improved upon while all of them are ingame, providing more dynamic gameplay, more efficient testing i'd rather say. :)

Currently we have 6 cities that can be taken, what i never understood is why all the cities have to have the same TC type? What if, for example, Redding, Klamath, Gecko, had applied TC windows and all other cities would have normal TC with timer. Tell me what you think about it, if you like what you are reading, then vote appropriately.

I cannot support TC window, for the sake of allowing players for every timezone to participate in TC.

It is certainly sad to lose your city when you sleep or at work (especially if it is taken on purpose by trollers), but i can't imagine telling americans or chinese that this town is not for them, because they can't PVP agains't my team...

This obviously might be a bit naive comming from someone not involved in TC, but since T-888 advocates different systems for different cities to begin with, wouldn't three different timewindows for 3 different cities still work out well or would the ability to fight for every city at any time take precedence over some added variety in TC?

It would still prevent some people to TC in these town.
Which means purelly remove content for them, in order to give advantage to others.

It's bad feature and i hope i will never see it again. Swarms, alliances, dual logs, few minutes of fight before the window end. This is how i remember it. Btw. 2 years ago it looked something like that:

12-1 pm(gmt+1) gecko // sorry im in work
3-4 pm redding // sorry im in work
5-6 pm modoc // sleeping, learning, doing shit after work
7-8 pm klamath // girlfriend
8-9 pm den // girlfriend
9-10 pm bh // im ready around 10 pm!! i can play... what? no tc for today? shit...maybe tommorow.

Don't forget about quitting your job.


Buy a windows 95 with cheapest internet you can find and start living in a basement, you'll just have to work/ask for money for around 2 days.


That leaves you with at least 28 days to play 2238 every month but only 26 in february, so you'll have to mug someone to compensate for 2 lost days every year.


Don't forget about leap years, I suggest raising enough budget for them at least 2 years before the leap year comes.

Hmm yes... I supose making some kind of device that allows you to have a life and play fallout 2238 with minimum interruptions could be made...


We could start with a large couch that fits you and your girlfriend, a huge desk that fits two laptops, one for 2238 and one for work, a bell that calls a waiter whenever your GF wants to eat out, a cinema simulator AkA well-placed hometheater and a portable bathroom on your seat of the couch, sex is not a concern for you are alredy sitting on a very nice couch., must research sexual positions though, find the best ones to make sure you can see the screen properly and hit the keys during intercourse.

Common suggestion, players obviously don't like TC windows, so be it.
