[Poll] How many blocks should we get?

Postby MegaDeuce » Fri May 25, 2012 8:52 pm

I've been thinking: Why do we only get 50 blocks at the start of the game? Block placement and digging make this game unique, so.... how many blocks should we get???

I feel like 150 would be a good number, personally.

I think we should spawn with 50, and get 150 if we go to the CP

I agree with this. Or maybe require the person to go out onto the battlefield to get the blocks via ammo crates.

This ties in with classes.

A builder can supply blocks to other players-engineers can give ammo, and medics-well give health.

50 is fine, but have it so the limit is higher, and yeah, you can give people blocks with some ammo crate or something

Substitute grenade for extra blocks?
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

It does get temporarily aggravating when you are building pretty far away from your command post, and you run out of blocks. The only two paths you can use to get blocks is to either kill yourself, or go back to your command post. This wastes quite a bit of time, it would save trips you'd have to make there and back. 50 blocks can barely build you a wall with turrets going in a straight line for 20 blocks. Therefore...
+1 on the 150 blocks.

digging also gives you extra blocks, it is just that it is slow and not that fun

Yeah, the only way most people dig is by using the right click. And with right click, you don't obtain the blocks. So it's a lose-lose situation, basically.

I think either have more blocks, or maybe make it easier to get more. 150 sounds good.

I like the idea of starting with 50 blocks but being able to use CP/digging to get more.

Yeah, I could live with that. Start with 50, go to command post or dig and get 150.

Back in my day the max was 100, and coincidentally there used to be more big buildings back then as well.

I don't think it is enough. What is your definition of a "nice structure"?
