Title: Triplex
Post by deadman on 05/04/03 at 00:27:57
From what i have been seein there has been alot of journeyman and adepts joinin the triplex and they screw things up by makin a team un even and bringin good people down they mess things up for every1.

In my opinion i think there should be a lvl limit for the triplex like 25+ so that teams are not made uneven and good ppl losin bc of it

just a thought post what u think and oracle and jlh plz take a look at this......

Triplex is for all people. The person/s who you are referring to, are Wasps and Shaun right? You don't have to be high lvl to gain glory in this game. Besides, I know that one of those players is definitely not a new player to the game. Just because you got paired up with a bad team doesn't mean that it was unfair. I highly doubt you would be posting if you weren't on a team with one of these people in the Triplex.

I think the triplex should be level 25+ at least.

ui dont think a lv 12 shoudl be in the Triplex he has NO* chance of winning unless 6 other lv 12-15s get picked for one round and then later on still no chance...but i think 25+ is good and a /triplex enter  to make this 25+ rule

Another thing newbs can't participate in? Doesn't sound too fair to me. As it is, the majority of events are aimed towards higher lvl players which leaves the lowbies out in a corner.

I take it you don't enter the triplex.It is very annoying when you get a level 10 on your team...

There will be a /announce command added soon that can be used generally by the staff. It's main reason for being is so that people that don’t want to listen to the triplex can toggle it off and I wont use /system which annoys some people as it can't be turned off.

As for /triplex enter, well it'll all be automated one day! And I am told that sometimes the amount of people suddenly paging me does miss some peoples pages off my screen which would be solved by this.

I agree that it could be seen as discrimination to leave the lower levels out of this and personally I'd rather leave it unless we get alot more posting in favour...

Hmm...the whole "newbs" shouldn't be allowed in the triplex thing is more whining then anything if you ask me..If they got into the triplex before you they have as much of a right to be in it then anyone else. Just because you want to be in it so badly and a newb got in it before you makes you think you have the right to suddenly burst out and say newbs shouldn't be able to join! And anways, if they do join the triplex when you're in it don't you think it gonna make it a heck of a lot easier for you to win considering they're going to die faster? So relax and quit flaming people(newbs) so much when you don't get your own way(in the triplex before them). Seems that's what most of the posts are about anymore.

Also..if you get a level 10 on your team..more then likely all of the arch's etc are going to see it as a quick kill and want to kick it out..so the lvl 10 will more then likely end up taking a lot of damage that otherwise would have been directed towards you

People don't like to end up getting a level 15 on their team...When this happens they have almost no chance of getting to the next round.The newbie can't damage anyone, and dies in 3 hits.Its very annoying to high levels.

Im guessing you don't ever enter the triplex?Or maybe you are one of the level 15s that enter it?....

Aren't competitions like this supposed to be battles of the fittest? I say cap it at expert level. Realism ;)

I agree, most of the low levels who join triplex don't even KNOW what triplex is, they page just to 'join'.

I agree with Android, you haven't entered triplex have you?lol

Triplex is suppose to be 3 on 3, if a journeyman is on your team, it's pretty much 3 vs 2 and that's not fair at all.

And newb, the "higher" lvl people you say join with lower levels just join out of spite to take up space. There is no way that a journeyman would win triplex, so why let them join?

ya i say make it a lvl 25 limit cuz ive seen initiates enter the mosh and thats like lvl 6 around there  makes it hard to go for the win when u got low lvls like that on your team
Title: Re: Triplex
Post by newb on 05/04/03 at 22:08:05
I never said they had high lvl crits. So, let's say in my case, my highest lvl is 16 right now. If I join triplex I know exactly what i'm doing. Besides, there's always the chance for the low lvl to win. The Triplex is all about luck.
Title: Re: Triplex
Post by Zephie on 05/04/03 at 22:31:13
How exactly is a lvl 16 going to win against 2 high lvls? Hasn't happend yet. Triplex is about luck yes, but luck with higher lvls.....Journeymen don't win triplex.

couple of months back i saw a novice in triplex - and surprisingly his team lost in the 1st round...

lol though i got to admit ive seen an adept win a triplex

Post by BRabbit on 05/05/03 at 03:48:42
i agree with almost everyone except newb, put a level cap on it, and maybe if there is complaints make a little mosh for them afterwards? then i can log on a low level alt and own  ;D.

i think u should seriously consider this, even Medora knows its true, Wes its a good idea, maybe we could have it on a trial basis?
Title: Re: Triplex
Post by BRabbit on 05/05/03 at 03:51:52
Posted for Mushrums..

  it should be a lvl 25+  and that if people are complaing that newbs get left out  then that gives them something to work towards

it brings up a good point, maybe newbs will train harder to try and win the triplex ammy, kinda like training for the olympics?
Title: Re: Triplex
Post by newb on 05/05/03 at 05:29:49
Perhaps 2 Triplexes. One for 1-19 and 1 for 20-30. Of course the prize for winning the lower lvl Triplex would be less significant than the higher lvl one.
Title: Re: Triplex
Post by Android 20 on 05/05/03 at 05:37:12
I don't think staff have time for both...
I think making the triplex level 25+ is a better idea than 20+ as well..
Title: Re: Triplex
Post by deadman on 05/06/03 at 02:27:03
heh an idea of mine that the ppl actually like lets get some more popular demand so that the triplex can be changed we can set up and event for the lower lvls or just leave them out and they will want to work up to 25 to enter the triplex.
