ANMakxs Players 1 post Report post #1 Posted March 14 I would like to propose the idea of introducing a new role: the admiral. The admiral will be a player (the best of the team in terms of win ratio?) and will be the only one to both receive and send radio communications, his role will be to act as team co-ordinator. It might be useful to equip him with the ability to make lines and marks on the map. In my opinion this could be a good way to implement team play and also giving more of a sense of community. What do you think? 1 16 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you think? You are proposing teamwork in this game ? You'd have more success trying to remove the 2nd Amendment from the US constitution ... 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,223 battles Report post #4 Posted March 14 Honestly you already get that kind of role in clan battles. Trying to introduce it to random battles is hopeless a large part of the players would ignore it. Anyway plenty of people in random battles already think they are an Admiral, especially the ones who either hide behind islands or suicide in the opening minutes. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[D_S_W] doerhoff_damian Players 1,486 posts 34,512 battles Report post #5 Posted March 14 Well good luck with that. Many Players just ignore the chat or have it deactivated. I remember telling my Team to go AB because these caps were not that far away from each other and we could support each other very well and get map control. After writing AB in chat someone asks if that was my Blood Type and then the Team went AC instead. We lost many Teammates against the strong enemy Push at C and the Enemy got the Map Control and the win. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you think? So You want someone that will be completely Ignored by everyone. Can Scribble stuff over the Map. And in more cases than not will be an Elitist ********** that is going to do little more than bi*** at everyone in his Team for having no Idea what he even wants from them. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can already picture that those who wouldn't listen will be given an admiral's mast. Acummulating x number of masts wold have devastating consequences. Like spontaneous detonation. Or somethin...

[I-J-N] Karasu_Browarszky [I-J-N] Players 13,025 posts Report post #12 Posted March 14 A.. brave suggestion, even an admirable one if I may say so, and something that the game would need. It would, though, have to be an AI admiral, something of the sort we have in operations with the voice commands over radio which could be further developed with AI map pings, location markings taken a little further, and might work in randoms but... somehow I'm not sure how the playerbase would react to even that. With a player being an admiral, we'd have a mutiny in our hands or a complete disaster. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you think? Who or what criteria decide, who would get that role? What factors would make sure the person chosen for the role is actually qualified? What means are available to make a player comply with the "orders" given? In the currently scetchy state ofthe idea, I don't see the benefit of it. The good players know how to play and the bad players are so much caught in their Dunning-Kruger, they reject any criticism. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you think? Sadly, I agree with the consensus: team-play, by WG's own design, is largely an alien concept to the bulk of the players these days. Your idea is a noble one, but unlikely to work in practice for reasons others have alluded to. If you want to play in that kind of environment, Clans - especially if your clan uses voice comms - works pretty much like what you suggest. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The quality of the playerbase does not decide if a game is a team game or not.
