General Discussion / New Multi System will need ASSISTS

« on: June 28, 2012, 08:51:13 pm »

so as you all know chadz has decided to go back to something similar to the original xp system (with adjustments)....

2. Change the multi system
Yes, the multi system is silly. I have no trouble admitting that :]

It makes you stop playing when you drop to x1, and it forces you to continue playing when you have x5.

Therefore, we'll change the system to something that rewards personal skill and risk more. It will be, among other factors, proximity based, as we had in the early versions of cRPG. It will definately not be purely kill based, we don't want to reward fraghunters over teamplayers. It will also not reward proximity leechers. You can expect this change soon.

Now, I am all for this... but I think (and I think many of you agree with this) that if this is done, *we will need an assist system* (that counts for less than kills) that helps avoid killwhoring and TK's from overzealous attempts to seal the killing blow. Also, archers need this like a man in the desert need water - and im not even an archer.

Thoughts?

Scene Editing / Could Defense Spawntime Adjust to Population?

« on: June 20, 2012, 07:37:35 am »

Mostly a question for Ozin and Mustikki, but is this possible?

The same map can be literally impossible to defend with TOO FEW players on the server, nice and even with a certain range of population on the server, and then TOO EASY to defend as the server reaches max population.

Could the defense spawn timer on siege adjust based on population thresholds?

For instance:

1-15 defenders = 20 sec
16 - 30 defenders = 30 sec
31+ defenders = 40 sec

(of course just made up numbers, these thresholds would have to be carefully chosen, and maybe theres more than 3 of them for more accuracy)

Anyhow thought I'd ask if its even possible and what you thought.

Scene Editing / Feedback Suggestion

« on: June 18, 2012, 05:02:22 pm »

There should probably be an official stickied feedback thread - one for SIEGE and one for BATTLE (and another for DTV/Rageball)
What do you think?

This post by Jacko is a good start : http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,23740.0.html

But I'd spell out that specific feedback is required (and screenshot), not just "map sucks, lynch mapmaker"

Scene Editing / Mapmaking Question - Doors

« on: June 17, 2012, 04:14:32 am »

Making a siege map - got spawns and flag and ladders and gatehouse and even siege tower working right.

How do you make destructable doors not open for both teams?

Right now they are destructable as they should be, but they can also be opened by the attacking team, from the outside

How do I set these "permissions" or does the server do that in crpg?

Since we have the "You have been teamwounded by _______"

Game Balance Discussion / Longsword Revisions?

« on: June 12, 2012, 04:14:30 pm »

Currently, the Bastard Sword, Heavy Bastard Sword, and Longsword are all very similar - in fact the Longsword only differs from the HBS by 1 length and a tiny bit less weight.

So those weapons are rather clustered in their stats, and then there is a decent gap (in swords with stab) between those and the Two Handed sword - specifically in speed, going from 98 speed to 95.

---

* I would propose either that the Longsword stats could be changed (and allow loomed longswords to be traded in for their LPs?
or adding a new weapon between the Longsword and the Two Handed Sword *

---

Either way, the new stats for the revised Longsword or the New Longsword (needs name) could be :

weapon length: 108
weight: 2.1
difficulty: 11
speed rating: 97
thrust damage: 23 pierce
swing damage: 37 cut
slots: 2
* NO secondary mode

Thoughts?

Suggestions Corner / End of Round Cheering?

« on: June 11, 2012, 10:53:30 pm »

First - let me say that I don't care whether people are able to attack each other after the round ends or not. But it seemed with the last patch that the devs were trying to change how that whole situation works.

When the patch first came out, both teams stopped and just cheered at the end of the round. This made attacking anyone after the round ended almost impossible, for both sides. It was weird that the losing team cheered but it served its purpose if the intent was to stop end of round attacks.

Now, the loser of the round no longer cheers, only the winning side. Therefore, the losing side has time to take free shots on the winners - consolation prize?

Again, don't really care how it ends up - but just curious what the INTENT of the devs is with this situation.
