If high people switch over, it will likely upset people, but, at the sametime, it'd also help the other factions because suddenly, there's more competition, and that means more XP, and if the people who switch happen to be going into level 2, that means even more XP for level 1s who manage to hit them. More XP then they would have gotten from beating a bunch of level 1s.

Oh great, this brings up another problem. We get our asses kicked for weeks, letting someone climb up to level 2 by stepping on our heads, and when they finally get high enough above us that fighting them will pay off for us, they defect to our side, so we can't shoot at them anymore. Given, that should still leave some level 2s in the other factions to shoot at, but nontheless I have less than complete confidence in this plan.

Which is absolutely wonderful for the Decepticons, but they don't really need any more help.

The addition of a highly active player will help the Preds far more than it will help the Cons to have Tammuz to shoot at. The Preds problem (and ours) isn't levels or XP, but numbers - the ability to fill those missions.

Anyone who would whine that Tammuz gets to come in after building XP as a Decepticon first is the sort of person who obviously likes to shoot themselves in the foot, because it would help them more than the loss of a ranking would hinder them.

EDIT: You know, even though the numbers say we now have 146 Maximal players (thanks Psychout and whoever else contributed for that announcement), I think a grand total of four of us are actually playing right now.

busy with what?

by **Starlock** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 6:08 pm

I say wait at least for the new start to be a month old before making any switches. While I agree at moment switching is needed it seems to be shifting a bit more to somewhat on occasion equal grounds. I see more full missions and even occasional no competition free 100 xp ones lately compare to first two weeks. If go by ranks top 50 has more red in it now and the top 100 actually has green represented.

So in over a week it be a month old and change a bit more, although still won't be balance we would have decent idea on how much defecting needed. At least until it changes more again toward either way, yeah I see OS being bugged if that mod panel thing for this is not working for some time.
