I thought basing was fine until they removed the skybases, things were still competitive and new squads used the skybases  

Pig I only read your like first three posts, and my only complaint is that you mentioned 0 things about skybases.

They were numerous and actually fun. It gave both melee and range players advantages where most bases now favor one or the other strongly.

They were easy to get as noobs and easy to get as "pros"

Like after i got a sabre me, karu, adrien, and rose took on skybase 1, then 2, then 3(shhh we never got 4. I sorry dad.)

Then it was a point where we had all of them and most of my "leads" still had nooby guns that dealt under 6 damage and they were poop melee spammers.

Then I became Obama and was able to handle it solo against 3 people.

Then those said people would rek me other days.

Like Saud honestly was so noobish back then and now I think I can say for all of us that in a 1v1 he would melee rek us all(noob still cant spam though...alien noob. pfft)

It was completely fair because any noobs could take on a pro, and while numbers would help- they didnt mean as much as say in spring and iricia.

They also gave players a starting point since higher squads didnt always go after them because of the low time. Even on our best days we struggled with 9 hours because it would literally take between 7-12 actual hours to get, even with holding all of them.

They favored noobs but they weren't shut off the "pros" which is why they were so balanced

A set base for only noobs would only make pros get paid to help noobs...

Like offer me 100 zc and I will base for you at that base until you cant hold it anymore... it would be such an easy tactic.

#AddBackSkybases

honestly our best setup would be like

3 sb, iricia, spring towers, gem, aqua, conq

Or ya know. something along those lines, as you can tell(if you cant well you'll find out,) i wrote all of this on the crapper giving 0 poops about grammar, spelling, or continous flow.(hahaha. get it? poop... on the crapper. give me an emmy.)

Oh I'm not dead. Just in cryo. No actually Albion has a new frozen side of the world... so go join today. #EzAds #IAmTheBestAtMyJob







@GenoIndeed
tbh it was kind of ruined with spring towers before sb was even removed. like the people that had spring and iricia just had ST. and when they left for a battle the people at SB 2 took it. like st ruined le flow.

Either those two situations or literally one person would take it solo and hold it for 10 minutes, while not even being at ST, because nobody bothered to check it....  

I remember when I could take 2 bases at once by myself and just fly back and forth to check on them every now and then.


Yeah I really really liked that, though it can never be the same though if it was brought back it wouldn't be the same.  

Sky bases sucked. They should and most likely won't ever come back. It was tiny, you could land in the base with a jetpack, it was a boosting hub, it required no strategy, and it gave 1/4 a minute so it hardly helped beginner guilds.  

Well to respond to your post pig, i think increasing the takeoff time of jetpacks would help out a lot since theyre kinda instant as of now. But something as little as that shohldnt be what removes a much more beneficial part of basing, skybases were a great addition and do need to return. And for the time issue, increase the time earned.  

my idea is that maybe we could add 1 or 2 of those SMALL skybases. With all those boxes. And also, disable any jetpacks that come near it. Then my idea is it should give actual hours because if there were no outside respawns, you sort of deserve some hours for keeping a base that's extremely active.

I thought you were im favor of bigger bases, not the cramped bases that require no strategy.  

Old skybases werent cramped, this new one is. And the most cramped bases are the indoor ones

Old sky bases weren't cramped? What? It was the smallest possible base anyone could create. The new sky base is 5x bigger than the old sky bases.

Skybase was always cramped. I really like the previous one (the Halloween map update one), the current is still cramped, basically if you don't have jetpack you're gonna have to deal with escalator bullet walls, you can barely dodge without taking cover there  

Yeah this skybase is literally just corridors, at least there was some running room with the old ones. The one now you just get stuck in a corner or have to run around walls just to dodge anything. And the escalator thing and the ship that spawns are both annoying af  

Aka: sky bases suck. Get rid of em.

Yeah but sense they were tiny it was good for starting squads. Because low hour gangs usually don't have that many members so you can take it yourself. Also I don't know what this 1/4 minute thing is because I by myself got like 18 hours off sky bases. I liked them.

each sky base gave 1/4 a min. per min.

It is tiny, but it is definitely not empty, its very very horrible to defend, I'd really love to know if you really got 18 hours from that place XD it's a pkers nest

I've seen Geno and other pkers there, speaking of Geno compared to him, I only have 1/4 of his kills, 1/4 of his Graal fame and 1/4 of his unbeatable swag
