Mas Battle Days


Who wants to see Giant battles weekly? Who'd support the devs or GMs limited locations once a week so the battles are localized with more people per side (mass battles) with specialized benefits for having won the town that week?

How big are you imagining? Like 500+ people per side all on one continent? Hahaha that would be insane. You'd spawn, run out, shoot a couple of times, and then die. Fun!

Would definitely be interesting with 3 sides. I've wondered how often we'll see 3 sided battles just out in the regular battlefield.

In Tribes 1 there were a few maps (I think 4) that could hold up to 4 teams. One night we got 4 clans togeather and we played all the maps, and it was some of the most fun I ever had playing that game.

I can't wait to see that sort of excitement on the scale that Planetside can give it.

I'm thinking the weekends will get pretty hairy, whether or not some dev says "try to be on at 7:00pm pst on saturdays, we'll rock your world".

And I also think that the occasional night-owl raid (like around 2:00am) will be very successful simply because there's no one around to defend any bases. Could be irritating, to get on every morning to find that all the bases have switched sides to EMPIRE X.

They may end up beefing up the automated defenses to handle this sort of thing... Make it so that you're just Not Going To Take A Base with anything less than 5 people... and since it'll be hard to come by that many people late at night, No Problemo (or at least "less problemo").

Well again this is a balance issue. Hopefully there will be some way or limiting a team having many more players than another. If not a small team of stealths/hackers could wreck havoc in the middle of the night.

While you sleep and the enemy steals your bases, some of your team will be awake and stealing their's. So when you awake the next morn, you will find the bases you took are gone, yet a few new ones in their place... Would definitely take some getting used to, to say the least.

Yeah but that's in an ideal situation. What happens if on server A 90% of Vanu is asleep but only 40% of Terrans. :\

i thik battles of 500+ people would rock, but not some mass charge, rather lines kinda formed up, like the vanu on the high ground, with the TR coming up the river with some tanks (bout 50) with buggy escort (30) and the NC coming and droping to the north and flanking the two sides, killing many but in the end losing, like the TR to the Vanu.

Or.... you can engineer an Empire like the British did in the 17th and 18th centuries. Have armies situated all over the earth. In other words, the sun never sets on your empire.

Reguardless i think the massive battles will be one of the coolest parts. Sevral outfits of the diff empires could orcastrait who would show up (basicaly all that would come) and have a great battle.

I meant like 2 hours a week all but 1 continent is shut down, so all the fighting is on that part of the world. Would force people into big action. But only for a limited time so it cant be exploited.

I said nothing about night raids (which would be fun!)

LOL

The devs dont have to do anything and you will find your huge late night wars at least every weekend.
And because you dont have to fight creeps to level(DAOC), im pretty sure, that you will find big battles every day.

I dont think that you can do alot beeing under 10 people at all. Well it will depend on the number and size of the bases.

And if the big alliances of one empire attack a second empire and really go for those big important bases, what do you think will empire number 3 do? They wont miss the chance ...


You will love those messages while doing a well organized, huge raid:

Scout: Vanu empire seems to start moving..
Scout2: 100+ Vanus icoming from north...
Everyone panics---- regather at main bind points :-)

It all depends on how laggy giant battle would be.
