Make popular Rally Point

Suggestions
1
  • I suggest marking Rally Point under construction on the respawn screen, for example, with a blinking icon.
  • Add daily and weekly tasks for building Rally Point and ammo boxes. For example: build 3 Rally Point, build 4 Rally Point in one battle, 4 squads appeared at your Rally Point, etc.
  • Add hints on the respawn screen about the need to build Rally Point if there are less than 2 of them

More simple obligate new players to build rallies and we solve the Main problem that rallies are unusual with useless teams

Yes people carry on about punishing those that leave (there are genuine life reasons to leave a computer game).

What we should focus on is punishing anyone who doesnt build rallypoints. Maybe every soldier with engineers in a squad has to build AT LEAST 1 rallypoint each battle otherwise XP is reduced.

The more rallies you build the less the punishment will be.

i second that for br 1-3 @Mortarion_Death.
there was also the idea of shortening building time for rallies since the saboteur update.

No one is talking about punishing people that have to leave once in a blue moon, but about notorious, egregious leavers who will alt f4 at a drop of a hat seemingly every other match

If you have to leave like 25% of your games, perhaps you should instead try single player ones instead?

I agree with your ideas, they could help newer players and change the bad habits from some older ones.
I really like the daily and weekly tasks ideas, and a little hint on the respawn screen.

I disagree with some replies on this topic, punishing newer players from not being able to build rallies is not the way to go. The game should hint and encourages players to bulid rallies.

That wouldn’t make rally points more popular for me really. In fact, it would make me even more disgusted with them.

It’s not enough that I have to keep building them to win games. It’s not enough that I’m constantly getting destroyed by guerrillas.
Now I won’t get rewards if I don’t build them when artificial quests pop up.

No, they better remove rally points from the game completely. The never ending necessity for building rally points all the time feels like a slavery. It’s definitely not fun. Just constantly hitting the air with a hammer…

so get rid of engis? no more bags or crooks or ammo? this idea doesnt really make sense to me, if it wants to solve the low br rally problem.

All I said is to remove rally points. I haven’t said a single word about engineers.

oh , right. :slight_smile: my bad. that could be a good, although radical idea as well.

Make them a droppable equipment like mines, you don’t waste time building them but you still get to have them.

You could also move spawn zones closer to caps but that would result in more spawn killing or would make capturing points too easy.

all we really need is command for your AI engi to build one, it’s really strange we haven’t got it yet…

Command Engineers in squads to build stuff without switching to the Engineer to do it yourself

it was suggested like 3 years ago sadge

You can already order them to do so. But you must have a hammer in your hand the whole time they’re building the rally point. Otherwise, they’ll just stop building it.

And because you’re forced to have a hammer in your hand, there is literally no reason not to join them.

I solved the problem 2 years ago, DF is just to eggheaded to listen:

  • the core problem is players being lazy and spending 10 sec placing rallies
  • unless this isnt solves, the 95% lazy fucks who dont build them now wont build them later either
  • reduce the rally point building to 1,5 sec (without building perk)
  • NOW things will change and the biggest balance problem of the game is solved
  • also increase exp gain from 35 to 50 (same as APCs)
