[Request] Can we have a Triple Triad NPC at each flag in shatter?

[Geologo]

Guarding base is so boring,
so I thought why can't we have Triple Triad matches with the GC NPC while sitting on base?
Or if you won't add any NPC there, just enable Triple triad matches near the flags.
It would be fun to see an opponet ninja pop near you and requesting a match!

All jokes aside, keeping your map open removes the need for guarding the base. NINs can't stay hidden and cap a base, and with a map open, you can watch enemy movement, as you should be doing anyways.

From an opposing standpoint, IF by chance I'm attempting to steal a base with teammates and a lone base guard is there, well, you're a free kill since you're alone. So again, no base guarding needed.

Never understood the whole "guarding base" thing myself, yeah. At best a solid tank might be able to survive long enough to call for backup and chase off the offenders if the team is close enough, but most of the time just watching the map is sufficient and a singular person "guarding" is usually just a free kill for the other team AND our base gets taken anyway so they're functionally useless. I've mostly seen it used as a free excuse to afk the entire match for relic lights - I've started booting a few who are clearly afking, die without defending themselves and don't give any shout-outs that anything happened until we're already on our way back to base because duh, they're alt-tabbing and just now popped back in to check on things.

Base guarding has it usefulness, it prevents base from getting stolen by other tanks and healers and solo dps, plus it prevents having to retake it by the whole alliance and being out of position for other more important objective as well as slowing down momentum if the alliance is doing good controlling the middle.

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

The need for that, however is invalidated by simply keeping your map open. Are color markers of a different team moving toward your base? Send a detachment to intercept them (NOT the whole alliance). Did a enemy marker just appear on your base? Ninja. Send 2 or 3 people to handle him. Has a whole team decided to storm the base? Alright, it's go time. Fall back and defend home turf.

All this, you can see and plan by just keeping your map open.

Whats better? To player vs Player or guard bases?

Sending 2-3 ppl to retake the base has never been a thing, im seen entire alliance run to a small ice node when a big ice node is about to pop.

Do you know how difficult it is to try and make Garos understand the concept of "Furthest first," when all smalls pop? You want us to try and organize sending small detachments?! Oh dear lordt.

Although I do enjoy when a base afker, sorry I mean "protector" yelps "Incoming at base" and come to find out after your entire team sprints away from their precious ice, the "incoming" was 1 lone SMN and the protector was a PLD. -_-
