Corridor etiquette

Post by ThePiachu » 10 Apr 2018, 05:08

Can we agree on some sort of "standardised corridor etiquette"? I've seen people die because two players would be trying to pass one another in a 2 tile wide corridor and constantly bumping into one another, while on other occasions it can be a waste of a few seconds trying to pass each other.

So how about we do this:
- If you need to pass someone going the other direction, do it clockwise. Moving left to right you move on the top tile, right to left - bottom, down to up - on the left, up to down - on the right
- If the corridor is tighter or there is some other problem - follow a hierarchy: Queen above all, then big sisters (T3s, Carrier, Hivelord), then T2s, then T1s, and if all else is equal - order by how mature you are - ancient first, young last.
- If someone is retreating or hurt, let them pass if able

Any other etiquette we should have down and try to follow?

This also is an issue for the xeno's and it can be even worse. People pay 0 attention to that circle above your head.

Add new Macros wiki/Macros
Shift + Z Say "MOVE" Life saving phase when you are body blocked by fellow sisters

IIRC ships go right when they face each other so they don't clash, so, just go right.

Assert dominance over the other aliens by blocking vital routes as a T3.

If you're a tier one body blocking three tier 3s, then something is quite wrong. Move out of the way beno.

If you see a higher tier heading your way either move out of the way or go in the same direction they're going. Same thing if you see someone that's injured coming your way. I've seen a lot of deaths that could have been prevented by simply moving up one tile.

This is definitely a problem, and while I do think that a standard guideline would be helpful, a lot of players do not access the forums and the stuff you lay out is common sense.

I think a bigger issue is that T1s block the movement of T3s. There's a suggestion that makes T1s go under T3s, you should definitely check that out.

I mean sometimes T3s BB doorways and shit, so wounded and drones and stuff can´t get out and you can´t move them. I get BBed to death a lot, though less then I used to.
