Units for Sale!

[Memnarch]

I know its been suggested before and I saw it in Aro's sticky, but I couldnt find the thread on this.

Why can we buy units?

It would create income for TAO for updates, we could come up with new units, and think of all of the bomb ass sets this could lead to!

I do think it should be restricted to golds though.

[Shamus]

We would be playing people with four Dragon Tyrants and two DSM's on a daily basis.

[sythe]

i really for once agree with shamus...maybe a limit to certain units maybe and no selling dt i would agree then

You could counter with a 2 LW 4 scout 2 stone cleric muddy set.

This would make the game alot more interesting but it could lead to disaster.

Maybe. But wouldnt it be fun as hell?

Man. Think of all the crazy ass sets this could lead to. The main reason Im suggesting this is cause Im tired of the same old sets and the same old strategies.

I think that TAO would benefit more, because it gives an incentive to be gold thus more $. Also, price the units differently.

Scouts: 5
Knights: 3
DT's: 10
Etc.

We can figure out whats fair for price.

If this does lead to chaos, then so be it. It would be a great way to go down.

i agree about the same old sets why i will probly quit tao soon i find it so boring but i think some limits should be restricted to buying 1 or just not being able to sell at all my main reason is what if exp.1 4 dt's 2 dsm set not working or a cleric completely protected by lw's its a done and complete set again my idea limt restriction (NO SELLING DT'S)

[Memnarch]

Dude. I played a mod with that 2 dsm and 4 dt set and very nearly won. I made a mistake that cost me the game. Any set that you make has a counter to it. In the case of the cleric with the LW's around it. All you have to do is stone a muddy two or three times and bomb coupled with a scout its a done deal.

[sythe]

but thats not the point its an hassel for something with a boring game compared to alot every vetrain player, hell im harldy not new (7 months) are tired of the same old sets this will just make more of a choice for new sets to take over if this every gets made which it never will there should DEF. be a restriction on certain units.

[dirka dirka]

This goes in line with perma gray-accounts. Sure, it would make TAO a ton of money. It, however, defeats a previous precedent of the game.

[Memnarch]

What? Strategy? You can still make rules for the games if you want, but this takes TAO to a whole new level. How about another server where sets like this would produce would allow? Or maybe only have these units go to your rev account?

[Zander]

How would this help create more units?

[Memnarch]

More money to allocate to programming, hire someone else, etc.

[Jeffery]

More money to allocate to programming, hire someone else, etc.
They make plenty of money now, and they can;t hire anyone.

Seed has SOLE development rights to the game. Wouldn;t matter if you had a million dollars to pay another coder, only he is allowed to do anything.

Do me a favor and multiple 2000 accounts by $5 a month. And that was when Bills took over, the user base has since grown.

[Memnarch]

I just think it would be bomb for us all to have dirty mod sets.

[MicSpor]

1) It should only be drops you can buy.

2) Why would golds be restricted for units? This game is for golds pretty much. Seed won't waste money for people who don;t support him.

[steve12]

Um.... NO. True, it might be fun for a while. But then there would be like a cycle of the best sets, and they would be ridiculously powerful. Greys and other people who don't have the money for the units would get demolished, and the game would be ruined. It will never happen, and I hope it never will.

[Tugnus]

There would be no more strategy involved in the actual gameplay, just whoever counters who with there super sets.

[Shaddix]

personally, I think think this is a terrible idea. First of all, the games would get insane and wayy over powered. More peopl would be frustrated with this than ever. Another thing is that poorer people who can barley afford a gold would be obsolete now. It would limit the advancement of new players because of the amount they'd have to pay. The only good thing that i see is that tao might get a lot more money at first. But i don't think there will be as many golds in the long run. I would suggest just making like 3 or 4 new units so spice the game up a bit.

[Unforgottner]

New units would be nice.

[steve12]

I would jump for joy if there were a handful of new units made, even if they are rarely used... They could prove useful for tournament rules and many more strategies......

Oh well, going to face the real world now. I doubt any more units will be made in the next 3 years, to the contrary. :( Waa..

[Jonathon]

I do not get it,

The rules say you can only have 1 DT on the field I thought. So even if we COULD buy them we could only use one. Not to mention that if we could buy knights we are only allowed three. This would only help for people who trash units and want them back.

But I still want a 10 beast rider setup :)

[Jonathon]

Double post, sorry.

[AlabamaBoy]

You want my legends form?

Its not that good actualy.

[VAMP7]

I beat Veritas.'s mod bomb just look in my siggy. And it was with a bomb of my own.

[Zander]

your signature doesn't show shit.

[XLR8ZN]

LOL zander!

my 2 cents into this is that the game is only fair for greys if the units stay as they are. It's more fun for me to be playing on my grey trying to be a gold than a gold v. gold match. afterwards i laugh at the gold and post S/S wherever i can

[Shiznit]

This would make the game alot more interesting but it could lead to disaster.

I agree...

Not everyone is rich either. So people that are rich. They are the better player becaue they can buy new pieces. :(

I don't think this is a good idea.

[Memnarch]

Eh. Just a thought.

[sythe]

i would like to see some units like maybe an extra golem, scouts, or one more knight ect...

[Shiznit]

To overpowered. Its fine the way it is.
No extra pieces. :)

[Jeffery]

The real NO of the situation is one of manpower....

Accounts are upgraded and modified manually. There is no way in hell the Admins would want to sit there and tinker with accounts for an extra buck here and there.

[uniquinous]

1) Skeletor, your siggy says "the intarwebz - serious business"
2) This is on the DO NOT SUGGEST list for a reason
3) this would lead to unballanced games.


Think about it. There's this whole big controversy and change to playing style between legends and FPS over a SINGLE scout. Now you wanna blow it all out of the water?

No, what you want is change. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. You see someone else's toy (in this case a mods) and want it. But the thing is, if you and everyone else had it, it would be this cool new thing for a few weeks and then be just as old and boring as your current toys.

It just doesn't work, for so many reasons.

[sythe]

uni thats human nature were bored at least i cant speak for most of the people posting im sure you can see what i mean, its all the same thing every battle the same what mem i think is try to spice it back up for the people who are getting bored.

[AlabamaBoy]

You could restrict this and make it so that every player can only get one extra unit, and make limits as to what unit it could be. Like I said before this would be interesting but disasterous.

[steve12]

Just make new units already, Game!

[sythe]

agreed with steve new units mean new formation changes= intesting=golds account upgrades=tao money back in pocket after seed comes back
