trying to bring new players to bc is like trying to make 8 year olds today play the original pokemon games

damn breh your analogy is kinda bad

the original pokemon games were very solid games and they started a revolution of sorts, and they appealed to a wide variety of people

bc imo is mostly lackluster in terms of content i'd want from a bots ps, and it really only appeals to a small number of people (i.e. sector players >_>) at this point. it's not really fun when you're in an outside group and don't even really feel like you belong with the rest of the "community." i also feel like it goes after the wrong skillset/mindset... the fact that people play so much sector and still don't have the fundamentals of this game down is baffling and downright pathetic. anyways, i feel like sector is and always has been really mediocre, and sector has aged like crazy at this point. even when i was 10, i got bored of playing sector because it's the same maps and mobs over and over and over, and adding new content to sector won't even change anything.

i can understand why some people like pvp, but meh, i feel like pvp has aged and is mechanically flawed. pvp always favors 2 things and 2 things only: speed and defensive play. lmao, i don't even consider myself a pvper, and i beat imag, the "god of pvp," 3-0 in that pvp tourney whenever that was (i think like june 2014). all i had to do was play defensively. i never even approached in any of the matches, and i won each game handily. also, there are much better 1v1 games that have more diversity, depth, and balance  (pretty much any fighting game ever, altho i have a soft spot for melee :>).  

soo... i think we all know where i'm going with this...

base is the only game that has stood the test of the time and is unique. base has depth, diversity, and balance (at least in bots acclaim it did), and it has all these neat little microgame tricks you can do. it's the only reason i will ever even lurk around this community at this point. however, the bvb community is really inactive, so i generally need to get texted/skyped to actually play a good, challenging match. i don't want to just play base... i want good matches. if i wanted to play against really bad players in 1v1s or 2v2s, i could log on right now, but it honestly isn't enjoyable to me. i don't enjoy bopping really bad players on alts with little effort. games where you play against human opponents are supposed to be challenging, and frankly, most people are way too easy. this is a large reason why I generally only stop by during the Christmas season because it takes waaaaaay too long to get any good players to have a 3v3/4v4 match in bvb, and i get bored of waiting after a few weeks of it...

i find it hard to believe that people don't share a similar mentality, but meh, what can you do?

LOLIMBEST 

whats your favorite fruit

IGN: Twist of Fate
Timezone: -6 GMT I think this is Central time but I'm not sure
How active you are in base: only when called to play
What do you know about it: lots
Can you get the necessary gear for a non-op game asap (bladless core +7 max armor, no op items): already have
Level: 225
Would you continue/what to be part of the base community and learn more about it: already know this stuff breh

ayy

Lol, no digi? That ****'s easy to kill (Ask pig) xd.

It arises from the fact that Digi covering patch is ridiculous. We both know that...

nice rolls

If you didn't know, this is a joke among basers for ram special trans. Basically, you hope that you get a good special trans (a "good roll").

Generally, "nice rolls" is used sarcastically because you rarely get the special trans you want. :<

Correct me if i am wrong but last time I was playing and that wasnt that long ago all of these items that have been named here are already banned on the OP list are they not? And in base I think that you should make it more fair for all bot types because Surge (Good at pvp) Ram (No speciality) Patch (Base and Sector tanks)


(Yes I know that rams are used in sector but they are not as useful as patches are as they deal a hell of a lot more damage and they have special damage 0 so untransed they will not damage them)


Sorry for the english grammar and spelling its early here.

Your stereotypes of the bots is wrong. In this game, with the rules agreed upon by experienced basers, surges are the best overall. This is largely due to surges being able to stack too much TG at this point. We got most of the really unfair stuff banned (+4 Omni/Discus, DH, II skills, raid armor, etc.). At this point, the only things that need to be changed to balance bots types is to change the stats E.F.s and minibots give. Neither E.F.s nor minibots should give TG. They should give HP, Crit, or SP. As such, +4 E.F.s and minibots should give only HP, Crit, and SP. Removing TG from these would reduce surges' TG and give rams their niche back. Regardless, +4 E.F.s and minibots should be added to the no OP items tag to increase build diversity. Having access to all 3 of HP, crit, and SP kills diversity in builds and removes personal preference in customizing your bot...

To put things in perspective, surges can get roughly between 1800-1900 TG, which is insane. Surges should have roughly 1400-1500 at most. Having an extended TG like this gives surges too much power with killing mercs. They are already great at killing things out of trans, so they shouldn't have a really long trans that gives them even better merc killing abilities, too.

Edit:
Actually, SP needs to be modified to make rams more viable. The two T-Bot special transformations really screw rams over. SP can potentially be a huge boon for rams if it were reverted to its older format of just having Kowbat, Bugbear, Blaster, Mandragora, and Melissa.

May need updating because I may forget some stuff
Rules for base:
-no OP items tag on
-no armor above CPU/Bladesscore/Rapid Impaler +7
-no Meto Blade, Turrets, Xabaras, or Double Blade mercs (should be banned in above tag, but they aren't)
-Industrobe only
-pushing is okay (it's encouraged!)
-1 patch per team at most (you don't have to have a patch on your team if you don't want to)
-3v3 or 4v4
-best of 3
-no DigiDragon (need some other basers to agree with me on this one though)

This is probably how I'd do it... If I can think of more, I'll update this list.

The rule is that you have to fight until 1 of the teams is killed(much like team pvp) but you can't kill the base
If you kill it you lose.

I personally don't like this idea. Do you know how difficult (i.e. how good you have to be) to kill a base very quickly in a 3v3 or 4v4 without killing anyone on the opposing team? It's pretty damn difficult, and only the best players can do this anyways. Why punish the best players for being good at the game?

we could just make it surge + ram only w/ no op tag would be fun.

patches are fine too w/o op stuff... it's just when you get like 2 or more per team, that's when it starts to get stupid

it's more about non-op people moreso than if they know what they're doing.

i'll play next friday once my finals are done

Played the original Bots, and BOUT after Bots got shut down. Had the same name then.

yup i remember you

maybe i'll start playing base again once my semester is over (december 20), but that's only if anyone wants to play. i doubt it'll happen, but i just kinda wanna throw it out there to see if anyone's up for it. i sincerely enjoy bvb (well, fair bvb), and i kinda wanna see if anyone feels the same way.
