Lately, several smaller clans have started to use Rollback Timers instead of Terminals. Several people are complaining about ways some clans set Rollbacks up.
Some clans set up Rollback's to be -1 | +1, -1 | +2, or -1 | +5, and on rare occasions, some clans do -1 | +10. And people complain about how "unfair" that is. Let's get through a difference here.
Terminals
Terminals when recaptured by the defenders are reset 100%, they normally take 5-10 seconds to capture/recapture, and when you come close to winning the raid it can drive the side that just lost it crazy.
Rollbacks
Rollbacks when recaptured do not instantly reset, instead count up again based on a preset count-up time. They are normally one-touch in attempts to balance, but some require a few seconds to cap.
People complain when Rollbacks go up +5 on a recap by the defenders, and will most likely be re-recaptured before it's 100% finished. Yet will not complain when they only had to hold the terminal for three more seconds to win? Where is the logic in that?
And with Rollback timers becoming more common, of course people are going to start complaining more about how it's set up sometimes. So let's get this out of the way.
Clans that use Rollback timers are in-fact easier to raid guys, and it's actually harder to defend. Because the timer doesn't reset 100%, so if it's captured by defenders, raiders don't have a full reset to deal with anymore, if they quickly gain it back, even if 45-seconds were lost, at least not all the time was.
Finally, let's end this with some simple math.
Terminal time = 900
Termincal Recapped at 300
Would you rather?
On Terminal Recap after 30-seconds be at 900-seconds
or
On terminal recap after 30-seconds be at 600-seconds
Which would you prefer?
Just one of the many reasons I'm going to hell. - Cubyfan2 & Cubyfan22 | Add 23,481 Posts |
