| Zone Entering
When players enter a zone they must be allowed to have time for their group mates to load up without the enemy camping them as they appear.
Therefore, there must be a safe zone when entering a zone.
Planetside had the good idea of making these log in areas very large, allowing the players to escape from even a camped warp gate if they tried seriously.
Until a better solution is presented, these zones must be recreated.
However, allowing players to enter zones from any angle could work, as this would give the defenders a lot of ground to cover to protect against all comers, while the lattice system would require the attackers to attack a specific target if they want to gain serious ground.
To drop players behind enemy lines, Planet side’s hart system worked well, this could be modified to a launcher that shoots the player up into the lower atmosphere to land down around the desired location. Other than players, this could also drop in vehicles, supplies and large fortifications. |
