Conquest Test today at 20:00 CET on EU2

[Fips]

I'll be switching to a conquest map at the time mentioned above to check again what exactly was bugged about the mode. We'll be trying to fix it again and hopefully get multi implemented somehow, but for that we need to find out the bugs. All i remember is that sometimes flags were bugged, but there was probably a lot more^^
So join in and report in this thread if you found anything that needs fixing.

I think I remember there was a map-specific problem ala flag lock. And sometimes an issue at map switch. Also the multiplier system does work "correctly" but it's even worse than in other game modes. The rounds are extremely long which means having x5 when the server switches to this gamemode gives an unfair amount of guaranteed xp, and conversely winning rounds and slowly reaching x5 from x1 during the time the server plays Conquest is very long yet poorly rewarded.

It won't get back unless multi can be adjusted to those maps anyway.

About multi in it:

What about basing the multis for each team on how many flags have been capped?

Defense starts with x5, attackers with x1.

First flag get captured and Defense gets x4 and attackers x2.

Continue like that.


This way, there's actually a reason for attackers to never give up. After 15 minutes of a round, if the first flags weren't down there was no way for attackers to completely win so everyone on attacker side that didn't have a multi usually left. Teams got balanced and same thing happened again. With a "dynamic" multi through the round it means theres never a reason to give up. Defenders still got a reason to keep fighting for their x2/x3, while attackers can at least get some x2/x3 on a round they are already losing.

Ofc, what to do with rewards for winning/valour? I guess some sort of bonus XP/Gold for a win/valour, but that's not a perfect solution.

[Phew]

I'm glad you're looking at Conquest again; it had the potential to be the best game mode (combining the best elements of battle and siege, without the negatives of either).

I remember the bug was that sometimes a flag would become uncaptureable, so it was a guaranteed win for defense.
