Howdy. Just jumped into AoS a few days ago after a several year hiatus from gaming. The simple but gripping gameplay is truly fantastic and has been keeping me coming back for more and more.

After playing several servers such as Goon Haven i've noticed a lack of any serious sort of construction. Sure the general wall and bunker are always there, but I have yet to see a game with any truly epic user created structures.

A fun solution would be to add a new game mode with a time delay function. At the start of each round, players are unable to use their weapons for a predetermined amount of time, say 5 to 10 minutes, and can only build. Or perhaps they are trapped in a specific area to build, and then released to the full map once the timer counts down and the game starts.

Could be fun on a very small map, with each team starting on a blank space directly in front of each other, but are unable to shoot or cross into enemy territory for the first 5 minutes. They must build frantically before time counts down and the fighting commences.

Just a suggestion. Loving this game so far, and looking forward to seeing it progress and grow into the future.

One word:
Griefers.

That's one lovely username.

Also, I'd be anticipated and totally excited for a game mode like this.

@KomradeTyler

Yes. Unfortunately they are a fact of life.

Perhaps a better system for kicking griefers will have to be put into place before this game mode could be implemented successfully. Perhaps if a player destroys a certain number of blocks that you have put out, and you initiate the kickvote, it will require less votes to get them booted.

It really is awful to watch an awesome game full of awesome structures chugging along nicely. And to have one jackass roll in and cut everything down, leaving the battlefield empty and the game dull. Such is life in AoS.

Hey cream, try playing some of the small maps like Pinpoint, they normally have some sort of teamwork involved with building bunkers and such.

If cream responds: Then dont let players destroy other players' blocks.

Then I will respond: What about that asshole building giant dicks all over the place? And blocking up your tower with neon green vomit blocks?

I did respond.

And I know, being able to destroy any block in the game maintains the balance that makes AoS great!

We should ask the community to help find the best ideas for mitigating the grief that is griefers.

The devs should hold another poll; Creative solutions for dealing with griefers!

@Fronzo

I love Pinpoint! One of the few maps that generates that sort of teamwork oriented gameplay. I would just love to see more of it.
