GG: Welcome Bob to The Galaxy Gathering studio. Can I offer
you a drink from the wet bar before we get started?
Bob: Robert Goetz #175626 CIC {AFF} Clan leader of Death's
Collector's {AFF} this CW was Named MG Defender's {AFF} to wipe out the surge
that is Xeon!!
Bob: Bourbon straight up.
GG: *Pours a large glass of Bourbon and hands it to Bob*
GG: What medal did your team win this war Bob?
Bob: D2 silver this time out...(MMI) is a tough bunch *Smile*
GG: Did your team perform like you expected this war?
Bob: Mostly....the added missile speed made some strange fights
here and there but we beat who we expected lost same...no huge surprises.
GG: Was there anything you found to be a disappointment this
war?
Bob: hmmm.... not really...other then you always hope for
more D points...that seems more fun sometimes then attack wins.
GG: Yeah, I savor every D Win myself *Grin*
GG: This war every clan needed a SRB specialist to get in
the game. We have had a required spec now for the last two wars. Do you feel
this requirement improves or takes away from Clan Wars?
Bob: this time SRB was easier than last month’s 20t since
most have it, but sure having to have a certain specialist is kind of a pain
but also keeps things fresh, I'd like to see for example next SW be every
member must be a different specialist...will make things even more interesting…
of course there will be complainers... *Smile*
GG: The logistics needed for that style of war makes my head
hurt a touch *Grin*
GG: The pilots who ran the required SRB spec this war earned
(2) 2X upgrade kits. Does this extra prizing improve Clan Wars and should be
continued?
Bob: We always want MOAR...lol but sure, if you are going to
be your clans Specialist in the required specialty sure a little something
extra is nice.
GG: How hard was the Raid for your team?
Bob: oOe of our members had health issue with his father so
we held off till about an hour ago... I set the cap at 1 share and blew through
it in like 5 minutes... I'll wait for rest of members to reach that then raise
again... But normally at these higher levels you have enough firepower to blow
right through them.
GG: Please pass on my best wishes on the recovery of your
teammates father.
GG: I guess someday I will level enough to experience what
it feels like to just blow through a raid share. For now, I will just have to
take your word on it *Smiles*
GG: Are the Raid Prizes this war useful for your team or do
you just sell most of it for needed Niodes?
Bob: Oh no plenty of goodies in the raid the % on some not
as good as we'd like but hey you roll the dice hope for the best... My rule on
anything is only keep it if you're going to use it... *Smile*
GG: Otherwise your hanger can get very crowded for sure.
GG: What is your favorite mech that you own and why?
Bob: Regis was for a very long time... But past few months
as I've tweaked my Boreas... They are my fav's.... Because they kick arse.....
But the more variety of niode equipment I've gathered for my 100t niode
mechas... Has got me liking the Humbaba... But that's another story *Smile*
GG: Those are all mechs I can only dream about piloting at
this point in my career. I can't wait to try them someday *Smiles*
GG: What is your favorite thing about Clan Wars?
Bob: The team work and communication between clanmates... sharing
of intel is always fun... also the trying to outdo each other and teasing makes
it fun. "You lost to him??" lol is always fun *Smile*
GG: I love the friendship and joking in clan chats myself
*Smile*
GG: In your opinion, what needs to be fixed to make Clan
Wars better?
Bob: Power rankings would be a nice twist, and in medal
counts to a players level to figure clans division placement... that would be a
nice twist... also should help the newer players, not all the time but maybe
once just to try it out... 4 golds add 1 level to your average 8 silvers add
level that type of thing... power rankings... let the complaints flow.
GG: Sure, I know there has been lots of talk on the player's
page on this topic. I do not envy Nick and the team trying to figure out how
best to balance things like this.
GG: Before we wrap this up is there anything you would like
to add?
Bob: I'd like to see a one time thing where everyone has to
sign up to enter. It would be like SW only thing is by signing up you agree to
be placed in a random 5 person squad auto picked by levels and divisions,
leader would also be random no specialist... maybe since that would be
interesting enough without them... some would complain about this because of
course something different... but you don't have to do it...just something
different.
Bob: Keeping things fresh...not all things will fly but not
a reason to not try them.
GG: That would defiantly be an interesting kind of war.
GG: Thanks so much for stopping by the studio today Bob. It
was a pleasure talking with you. I wish you and your crew the best.
Bob: Thanks for hosting. The bourbon was fine.
