the only thing is i warn about people not considering the after effect.ideas have been put forward before.ruined some aspects of gameplay.certain people can say things and they will be noted and maybe come reality.thats where you have to be clear of what you are wanting.once gameplay mechanics are changed and applied unless there is a monetary value in changing them again it wont be changed ! you are stuck with them.
this is a topic about player hosted comps but when people look at player hosted comps as more fun or more realistic what do think will probably happen ? the changes will come to make the official comps more " better".
its common sense. no need to get all twisted up.think logically. if the mods are gunna remove the post for not on topic do so.if it is removed id be surprised as its the most relevant post to do with spawn mashing probably in the thread.
I've re-re-read your first four posts in this thread(first one at pg 6), and I now fully understand this..
You saw a thread about spawn-mashing, you started reading it, and you didn't fully comprehend that it was specifically for player-hosted comps before reading more of it. The more you read, the more excited you got because the fear of possible change hit you, and you feared that the open discussion here could lead to actual changes in the EW comp system. Heheheh hey it's cool man, you like the EW comps and don't want to see them harmed, I understand and appreciate that completely, and trust me I too have got caught up in the moment from time to time! But some players like competing in player-hosted comps, and that's what this thread is about.
Now here's what I still don't understand, how you yourself suggested the removal of tents and fast travel in comps in this thread, which is certainly
nowhere even near a small suggestion lol. Oh man, I think just about every single comp player in the game would lose their sh*t, it would be a
huge deal! lol. Yet in your further posts you expressed your belief that the player-hosted comps community should be wary of EW when it comes to openly discussing thoughts and ideas to help make player-hosted comps better, at least when it comes to the spawn-mashing issue. That's ..really odd to me. You think that our ideas and solutions might be good and could possibly entice more of the general playerbase to stop playing in EW's comps and/or participate in both comp systems, which might then entice EW to make changes to the official comps/system in order to make them better/more appealing, which could then ruin the official EW comp system.. for some? all? I don't know what else to say to this other than, yay? Win/win? For EW, for the player-hosted comps community, for the game's playerbase at large, and for the game itself? It's my honest belief that the majority of players who enjoy the current official comps/system are those who are either new and thus ignorant of the issues involved with them or those that have been playing for ages and take full advantage of the way things are. Don't get me wrong, those players' game knowledge is vast and they've earned their trophies, in whichever way EW sees fit, including the spawnmashing which is allowed to a degree using the limited attempts feature. I do not disparage these
well-seasoned players(cough!), but personally I think and hope that EW addresses the comp system at some point, the sooner the better. I would be down for a complete overhaul top to bottom. Sorry to those who disagree with me but that's my view and I don't see a downside. If it were to happen, whatever the outcome after all the dust has settled, there would still at least be one really great comp system in place, and quite possibly two. I'm not exactly an EW fanatic, some of you may know me a little by now hah, but I must say that they've done some pretty good work fairly recently with re-vamping systems within the game and in this stage of its life, like the baiting system for example(which was a direct result of Bear Fiasco #1), or creating new systems such as the lodges and taxidermy, including several other sub-features which were asked for and are steadily being implemented into the game like gun racks, the lodge styles, small bird wall mounts, soon the ability to place our own in-game pics into the frames, not to mention entire new lodges like the Tropical. I wouldn't call myself an optimist but I wouldn't call myself a pessimist either, I think there's still room for hope. If such a change were to occur in the EW comps/sytem and it was to your disliking, would you place blame? If so, who would you blame? EW? The player-hosted comps community? This thread? The person who created it? The people who took part in the discussion, even though the heaviest suggestion posted so far in this thread was from yourself? Lol, see how it's a bit confusing? Glad we're talking about it, but please don't say that I'm "all twisted up" again. Sad to derail the thread any further though, it seems to be a natural side-effect or occurrence when one attempts to
prevent a derail, but still, apologies. I'm done with the current train of thought, say what ya like Ron, have at it and happy hunting!
