Title: Bringing back Ladders.
Post by: Lord Voren on September 11, 2014, 08:33:57 pm
I think its about time we reevaluate ladders and Csites AT LEAST in siege. I would love to see them back in battle but lord knows that wont happen. I remember people getting kicked and banned for getting placed they werent suppose to be and delaying the rounds out. But now that we have flags and better maps I feel that it would bring some flavor back to these dreary battles. I see no reason we cant at least have ladders back in siege. It was good practice for strat battles and isnt that what those servers are for? I just wanna see what people think. We could maybe run a trial period? As for Csites I know its abusable and those I could care less to see back, but at least give us back ladders.

I think that won't happen because it brings too much trouble in the balancing of the existing maps. It would be too easy to get to the flag by going over a rooftop or anything  else. :?

But mashing my 20 something dudes into your 20 something dudes gets old. Those houses with 15 dudes on them was glorious. It promotes teamwork* and camaraderie* in the battles and makes us remember that we are the community. Battle is for practice and for fun, and its gotten stagnant. This may, MAY, help.



* the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.
** mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.

Not a well thought out suggestion, please think bout your suggestion before you post.

If you create a scratch piece of paper with the pros and cons, adding ladders and Construction sites could have more cons then pros, unless you are a ranged class.
On top of all that, just the people griefing other people with ladders, delaying with the time we have in siege or battle (trying to build something that would take alot of time) is far to much of a con to just add it back to the swing of things.

Would like to see ladders make a return to siege but restricted to one or two for the attacking team. Pros; it adds some dynamics to siege strategy, cons; it imbalances a lot of maps if used well.

The game was more fun when ladders weren't limited to strat.

If pretty much any other poster made this post instead, the OP would be up voted to +30.  There would be much fanfare, stories about ladderpulting, LLJK and other things from the glory days.

Visit EU1 on prime time, come back after. Or simply understand that when the ennemy team got 10 crossbowmen/archers on a roof, protected by infantry, it becomes slightly annoying. Giving access to all roofs would be a shitty thing.



But on some side, I don't really know. We should make a ladder day, where we test this feature now, and provide feedback about the gameplay changes it causes. If we see more camping, or more teamwork, community should decide about putting them back or not.

Thanks for posting something useful. I agree I was just testing the waters see what people thought. I would love to see it hell even just an hour on siege. See if people like it again. NA2 is dead though and the fact that most the maps on that rotation are HUGE and have like, 2 ladder points easily camped or trolled by some AoW or something. Plus, I would love to practice ladder throwing again.

The main reason I even got into this mod to begin with was the stupid, crazy trollsy stuff you could do years back.  I could give two shits about balancing, I just want the fun back.
