Make everyone a main?

[crasx]

Should we? While I was fixing the server I came across a couple of plugins that count everyone's progress. Would this encourage teamwork and be better for the server? What are your thoughts?

[TheDude]

I say no: It's an extra dimension to strategy for both teams and avoids new players not that good at the game to get left behind all the time

I also vote no. It does add more strategy to both teams, on a variety of levels. We have completion bonuses for everyone else.

[Mercman]

everybody is a main in my book

[swatfishy]

is there an option to scramble/ rotate around the mains, say a max of twice? and only be usable in the saferoom

[blqmagic]

I voted no. I feel that it gives a challenge within itself. You don't have to get the mains to the end but for a team to get them to the saferoom is an accomplishment. That should be an achievement.

[BlackYoshi]

So would all players be considered mains? Seems overpowered, mains are more fun anyway.

[chick82]

I think it would be cool to try out for a week or 2, I mean if you get 4 solid mains and you can't kill them, and maybe it will encourage ppl to not ditch people or work more as a team.

[oakgyrl510]

If mains die, all survs die. lol ive seen it on a russian server >.>

[Yortz]

i voted no, but what chick said, give it a few tries to see if it's better or not

People fear change.. I think nuking 'mains' from orbit will be a good move.

 

One less obstacle for the noobs to worry about, plus everyone's progress counts on every chapter.

_{Does the mod have like a volunteer option? like the first 4 people to volunteer are the mains? I like having mains myself, it adds a special dynamic to the game for some bonus points.}

i think this topic was brought up before and the abandoning of newbies at chokes was one of the reasons it was discouraged. obviously this will happen with non main newbies pretty frequently but now they don't even have the protection of being of main (and the team) to get past a choke

[PeanutButterNJelly]

I agree with anything Swat says, because he is Yoshi times 3

[Socks]

Voted yes for one reason. Bot mains. Bot mains are worse than Ben.

pfft, having mains doesn't add strategy. it just gives people an excuse to book it when things get rough.

 

why should 1 player count more than another?

[chick82]

IDK in reading some of these comments if people realize that this would mean that EVERYONE is a main, like everyone's progress counts. So it would encourage more teamwork and less "just leave him he's not a main".

Disregard everything chick says!

I didn't ask to be important, I was chosen...

I guess you can think of this not as removing mains, but as making the number of mains=10

[drag]

Had it always been that everyones progress counted, people would think it absurd to suddenly go from 10 survivors counting to 4.

[mikeyson]

The topic says "Remove mains?"...I think that's what has confused a lot of us... Having said that, if everyone was a "main" and their points counted towards the total it would really make each player valuable in a close game. Losing one or two players early in a round can have serious consequences to the teams overall points. Making all players count as mains has my vote for sure.

Changed the poll name to swing it.

[Pronouncemyname]

Time to go back and save the bots...

 

I voted no, I like the way its currently set up.

I will play either way, but I like the idea of all players being mains.

Thats all ready how I see the game now but with a few special people. Its like having the Secret Service protect the president. The mains are the President and everyone else on the surviving team is Secret Services. It just adds another layer on top of what the server has already. Its like an added challenge on top of getting to the safe room.
