Sever option to disable titan lag?

[Desertfox]

How about have a server-side option to have the titan locked in place? Aka.

sv.lockTitan 1

where the titan CANNOT be moved or

sv.lockTitan 0

where the titan CAN be moved


Im smart eh?

That's a nice idea...

Would take a bit of fun out of the game mode though.

[Desertfox]

The lag also takes the fun out of it :p

OR:

Quoting BlackOPSken:

"Maybe once the titan is boarded the enemy can no longer move their titan provided the other team is on it, just a suggestion."

Ya, I like when the titans are right next to each other and there are people podding back and fourth.

This is probably the best Iidea, move all you want, but when boarded, or if the shield is gone, it goes stationary!!!

Great idea... and it it could be justified with shields down, engines offline... or something similar.

I did a commander round tonight and I took the Titan far right of it's launch spot. We were losing badly and this forecd the enemy to drive up a hill side to get within pod range. We managed to hold them off for quite a long time that way.

Another tip is to use the function keys when you're manning the Titan guns. ;)

I would agree 100% with "Freeze titan movement once shields are down."

It both makes sense story wise, and solves a major game play issue.

What do you mean function keys?

Using the F1-5 or whatever keys to move to different Titan gun positions.

And yes, I love the idea about Titan going stationary when shields are down.

[Sir. kaheiyeh]

It's a very good idea. They should make the missiles "damage" the engine and shield. Hope EA decides to implement this because it'll take alot of bugs, glitches and lag out of Titan Mode and would benefit all; plus, it still makes "sense" that the Titan can't move.

reminds me of the US/Japan carriers in bf1942

titan lag is not NEARLY as bad as it was in beta.. hopefully it will be improved more in the final. (yes they are still working on it)

In beta, if a titan moved at all, everyone would lag.. now it seems (from my experiance and my clans) that lag only happens when it is moving and there are more than say 9-12 players on the same titan.

I can remember as far back to the old days... whenever a "large" (ie carrier) moved, those aboard got lagged (lol ever walk around a carrier and all of a sudden find yourself in the water??)... I would hope that they can fix this. They have come leaps and bounds to fix it but we are still getting the same issue years later.

I dont think making them stationary is the answer.. commander should still be able to move it to a strategic spot... logically just because an enemy boards should not render the whole vessel inept unless there is something to attack to render it that way.

I like pirating too much.

Agreed.
