Holding a Discussion

[WindStrike]

As it is, Element Tower Defense is an outstanding game with a brilliant design. It would take a player hundreds of hours to find the best strategies and combinations, and it's usually still fun because the player is exploring new ideas. Why isn't in the top spot? Well, Tower Defense games aren't the most competitive games, and if you'll notice, all of the top spots are filled with nothing but competitive games. That, and the popularity system sucks.

It's also gone through a good multitude of different modes - Hero Mode, Team Mode, Element Tower Wars, Super Weapon Mode, Draft Pick Mode, Maze Mode, etc... some turned out good, some could've been better. So we'll be holding a good ol' fashioned discussion of stuff to (for now) discuss bringing back Hero Mode and redesigning Element Tower Wars (now that it is split off into a different map). Other ideas are always welcome, but these will be the primary topics. Get some ideas started and bring 'em to the discussion, no matter how crazy or absurd they are. The more ideas, the better.

Discussion will be held in EleTD's IRC channel on Saturday, March 10th at 9pm EST.

Feel free to go ahead and post concepts of stuff here. It will give us more to think and talk about for the discussion.

For those unfamiliar with IRC, see the quote below to see how to get into the channel:

The following is a quick tutorial of how to get into the #eletd channel using X-Chat 2.

First, go here, download the installer and run it. Install wherever, just use the Normal Installation, should be fine.

When you load it up, it'll bring up a window called "XChat: Network List". Up at the top of the window, set your names to whatever (it doesn't matter). Then on the right side, click "+Add". This will bring up a New Network. Call it whatever you want, and then edit it.

It will bring up another window called "XChat: Edit New Network". At the top, rename "newserver/6667" to "irc.gamesurge.net" (no quotation marks). Next to favorite channels, add "#eletd".

When you're finished with that window, close it out, click on the network, and click "Connect" in the bottom-right of the "XChat: Network List" window. This will open up another window that will connect you to the GameSurge network and have you automatically join the #eletd channel.
