Hi,I don't know if this is the correct place for this or anything however I would like to see what everyone ideasI would like to see more world like the old speed worlds with the custom badges or some new set of world with custom badges. Would love anyone feed back on this Blooj

Other variables such as no lakes or 25% or 50% lakes, more POI's with lower gain or less POI's with higher gain (or same gain), Credit POI's, timed hubs (as on the vet worlds). I could go on but these are just a few I've seen suggested in the past. Do you or anyone else have other better suggestions?@gamerdruid @EE_Elephterion Everything! Quite simply start worlds in specified intervals (4,6,8 weeks - whatever). - FA with morale- FA without morale- normal worlds without morale- normal world with morale- Firestorm worlds with crazy settings (lakes, pois)- Speedworlds and so on....and everybody would be happy because he has a choice! Atm you have to wait one or two month for one new server. Then the project-alt-army also is starting that server and you can stop playing after day 1 + you have to wait another 1-2 month for the next server. Thats not the way you keep players + get new players. Your current system is not working (as already mentioned a few times)

Hello Commanders,thanks for the feedback, we might be able to include this info in the future, however world size and slots correlate; and since we usually start worlds with persistent starting slot numbers (15.000 for Tiberian and 10.000 Wrath, 5.000 for Veteran and Firestorm iirc) the world size would be relatively consistent for every world type, putting the Fortress always at its centre.Basically, the amount of starting slots determines the min. size of a world, while the size of a world determines the max amount of starting slots. So while we could make a 500x500 World with only 5.000 starting slots, a 200x200 size world with 15.000 slots would not work.For that reason we provide the amount of starting slots with the world description, as we think it is the more interesting metric for players starting on a world.Of course the increase of level is more steep on a small world with higher levels. This, combined with the moral malus might be a bit too punishing for most players so we will try to avoid this combination on future worlds.

May I suggest a world format that has not been done in a very long time? A 5,000 slot (Firestorm) world with Forgotten Attacks and morale. This world setup has in fact been requested by many players that have had a negative view of the current WCS world setup. It would be nice to run a world to determine if indeed these type of worlds can attract and keep players. Of course, around 98 percent of all activity for the first few months will be farming so perhaps plan for, set-up, and publish a schedule of "infected events" that will break up the monotony of normal farming. I think the inclusion of guaranteed events will keep players motivated in morale-type worlds.

We can keep this in mind. Firestorm worlds are generally more flexible with the rules. Another suggestion recently was a world with reduced POI bonuses and numbers to focus on optimized base building, resource layouts etc.

OK, heres a fresh idea.FA world, NO POI's. NONE !Put everyone on at least a square playfield for once. Place the emphasis on a players skill to manage ALL the resources needed to advance.NO get to the middle and control the best POI's NO quick dig to the early POI's to get the advantage.Worth a shot, and I would guess super easy to implement.Please raise your hand.At least we could get a new world idea, the rest are getting tired....

Would removing POI bonuses on Fortress hitting help? (Maybe combining with other suggestions for removing alts?)

i dont see how making it harder for the team that already controls center and has the advantage would make any sense in any server type. In fact the sat code stall in wcs is akin to kicking a mule when its already down from my perspective. they won already why make em wait with slow and sporadic code drops. i think it would be hilarious if they fell like crazy and nobody was even safe near center. it could randomly allow any alliance to progress further than would be possible, placing them in range of those most important poi. maybe reducing the required hubs to shoot fort giving more than one alliance the ability to destroy it upon approach would be fun...

i dont see why the player base cant get along and still compete against each other as opposed to this current environment which promotes mass cooperation. its going to come down to that eventually if this trajectory is followed. we see on fs17 the mass cooperating players dominate and theres a complete lack of will to compete from the teams not allied with this "projekt". t53 is in its final stages as it has been completed once and all other alliances are simply waiting their turn for fort kills assisted by players that have already completed it. W28 is already said and done with the same dominating players in the servers mentioned before about to control center and remove one of the last remaining teams in the game not directly affiliated with a so called project/projekt conglomerate. i have also noticed members slowly leaving the unsuccessful teams to the point where they do not reform or show up at all and those players have that right but what will they do when they are al thats left along with random new players and the odd troll who wont go away once and for all? they will still take turns killing forts and being bullies as they have done for years and like druid has said already, nothing will change will it.

Remove bonuses when in PvP that could make things interesting.

I would like a server where there is an appearance of a nuke somewhere around where the satellite wreckages happen. This nuke appears once a month ( 5 days to use it) and the cic of the holding alliance can pick the detonation of it anywhere in the world, A 20 space area will become completely levelled. One restriction being that you can't detonate right in the middle, anywhere outside of the hubs.

A mass destruction device is an interesting idea. Details will make or break it though. For example some alliances have more than one player as 'CiC' so which one will be able to deploy it, or do you have a new rank of Supreme Commander who is the only one that can deploy it?

its a cool idea and a very old one, one of the best suggestions for setting off a nuke was having one spot in each sector that could serve as a launch pad and like the hubs would need to be fully controlled and a timer set before activation. i thought that was a great idea however it would not help anyone else in a server other than the teams able to reach them first and chances are it would always grant an advantage to the larger and further progressed teams. the idea behind a nuke was to be able to create a way for a team to come from behind and possibly even out a center race making for closer battles over first fort kill. right now in the current state of these servers it would most likely serve as a terrible imbalance abused by larger groups of veteran players. however in certain environments for example FS worlds they could be placed at irregular intervals and used as a sort of preinvasion tool.

Any update from developers? Are they interested in any of our ideas be them new or old?

I think a no POI server would be good it would certainly balance PvP between the alliances only differentiation would then be size and tactics a much fairer game for PvP ;-D

EE_elephterion has responded in other threads about changes, so yes they are interested in new and old ideas. As has been mentioned it can take a long time from idea to it being agreed to be implemented to actual implementation. It took what seemed like a very long time for the level 80 world to be born despite it being requested as soon as it was seen on the PTE that the bases of players could go higher than level 65 which happened by accident from a wayward script in the early days of the PTE.

one thing that might change the dynamic quite a bit, and I think is worth trying out on some future FS world

what if resource poi gave bonuses in percentages relative to your own production for each base, rather than in fixed amounts

right now it's unbalanced:

when the world is young, your own production is low, but getting a poi really is overwhelming vs your own production, this is why the FA tunnel digging is so overpowered, your tib and power bonus is a lot larger than your own production, you only need to build silos and accums not to get red in a couple hours

in late game, after you reach the center, all the resource poi quickly become obsolete, and need not be held at all

with percentage bonus, however, you don't get as much in early game, but you keep getting quite a bit in late game, and it is really worth investing in something to get more - at any stage of the game
