Static line battles or conquest mode

[Aymeric]

IDEAS about improving static line battles or conquest mode, pls give me your opinion....

a) Battles
Starting from the point of view that when a battle is delivered it is generally in order to take a strategic place, don t you think it would be interesting to take this into account in the battle mode?

I remember the flag going down system when time is over.... why not starting this FROM THE BEGINNING in a point half way from both armies and with more time in order to get it to the bottom?

This would FORCE teams to attack or at least to fight for a specific goal and not only "sniper musket mode supported with artillery?"

b) Conquest:
I dont know why but in the last days i played there are less conquests servers than at the beginning ( its a feeling, i don t know if i am right )... When you play conquest the only real "advantage" of taking a flag is you can repop close to this flag.
What do you think of conquest mode in which each team starts with X "lifes" and each flag captured gives you X POINTS ( not lifes ) per second?  The first team to X POINTS WIN THE GAME.

AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST.
I love this game, its mechanics and eveything, really, i ve been playing warbad and some mods but what i really miss in this game ( and as far as i can read other players do too ) is a kind of "reward" or "recognition" or "continuity", you can call it as you want....

- I ve read things about acomplishments, i ve seen a big post about rate the person above you, etc... I mean people NEED this kind of things in a game...
BIGGEST PROBLEM IS to take this into account and not break the historical aspect of this game.

-What about a "Title" thing based on... flag captured, round wons ratio, etc... ( as it is a team based game i would base this more on team achievements than individual ones, but it has to be discussed...)

-An experienced based game would ruin the " you can join as noob and beat the most experienced players", but maybe some very small advantages OR some unique grafical improvements for most experienced players would be enough ( and i am not one, i can swear lol )


Well it s ideas, they can be right or wrong, but i would love if you could give your opinion on them.

Thanks! ( and sorry for english lvl )

In MM people on the battle server accepted duels and fought properly.
When I was the last survivour I fought some nice duels even if there were more than 10 people in the oposite team. They didnt shoot me down...
Thins like that got lost...

And the melee system is maybe "balanced and realistic", still you can't survive if you are 1vs2

You can survive. I have loads of times, you just need to take one down on the first hit and then block against the others. If they both are lungng, one up high and one at normal level you need to block the uphigh and step to the side of the down low then you stab him in the side.

Tbh it was quite good when people could take 10 on 1 battles, don't see that too often anymore ... never accept nor take duels mainly because its my firm beleif that duels belong on the duel servers and battles belong on the battle servers.

Every time I see someone complain about it I just laugh ... "wrong server".

Also remember the time when surrenders were enforced through rules? ... so glad thats gone too, that was just a time waster and often ended games in more fighting than people thought lol.
