Re: Will The GDC Change Climb Points?!?

I do not think they will change it to 40, because of the possible uproar stated, but is it possible they will change it to 35? Not too much impact, but I bet it might influence a few matches.

The point of my post is not to argue for/against a change. It is to ask for people to stop putting words into other teams mouth and insulting teams for choosing a certain strategy. Now if your team does regret the decision to climb, please share with others why so that they can learn from your decision. This is a learning experience, not a place to brag that you read your crystal ball better than others.

Best thought in the thread. Well said.

5
20
30

Increase the value of the 30 point climbers by decreasing the value of the "strap-on" level 1 climbers...

If it was going to get changed at all that's the way I see it going.

I'd argue to keep the level 1 hang as 10 points; it makes the game more exciting. When there's 15 seconds left in the match, your robot is empty of discs you have an important decision to make: try for 12 points or grab 10. Depending on your design neither or guaranteed. It also makes for an interesting dynamic for defenders. Should you let the other teams do their thing and try to get an extra 10 points for your alliance, or should you try to prevent them from having an opportunity to score 12?

Lowering the points to 5 makes the answer a bit more obvious - get 2 discs in and you're doing better than attempting a hang, and 2 discs isn't going to be much of a challenge for most reasonably competitive teams. It also makes the answer obvious for the defender - prevent them from scoring 12 instead of attempting 5.

Or scoring 30...or 50. Let's get nuts!
