I came back. Leaving again

OK, red bullets then.

Or suggest another idea. I'm not personally attached to any idea. I just made some suggestions to give examples of the idea and get the ball rolling.

Modify the idea, or give a new one. I'm going to assume that all these suggestions would need to be tweaked regardless after play testing.

Its not a big deal

Jumped on today. 2 super levs and a super spider. If your bot system is so great, Snake, how come people only want to get prizes on freq 0?

Could it be because freq 0 benefits from them more?

You guys should really put in a demographic system in the bot that records to an sql database whats going on in your game. Maybe I'm off... but I'd bet you'd quickly see how lopsided in favor freq 0 is.

I bet you freq 0 gets more kills, buys more prizes, and I bet you'd see the majority of players play spiders.

But if you do, don't tell people your implementing it.. cause they'll just choose other ships to spite me.

Viva la hot dog.

Having listened to player feedback and after a general meeting of the heads of Staff, I can write
that in the near future some changes will be made to pub gameplay.

Stay tuned for more details!

I personally enjoyed public games the most when there was barely any specials involved and the gameplay was almost identical to league games. I just really liked the jackpot system.
Also the top10 list every 15 minutes or so was fun, where the top3 was rewarded with random prizes. It gave you something to gain a good rating for, felt like the level of play was pinched up a bit as well.
I dislike the current system. I'm strongly against buying power-ups for 2 reasons:
1. I don't feel like a noopie should be able to buy prizes to match up against vets, the vets have played years to get where they are. So it would be equally fair to let the noopies practice until they can match the vets by their skills and eventually become vets.
2. I also don't think giving the vets an even bigger edge against the already far worse players helps at all.

Just my 2 cents.
