Title: Remove the multiplier reset, or take the choke off of map downloads
Post by: POOPHAMMER on April 02, 2012, 12:41:18 pm
I do not think it is fair that I have to lose my x5 because it takes 2 god damn minutes to download a 400 kb file

+1

Never happened to me but it could since maps are downloaded so slowly for some odd reason.

Remove multi reset entirely, silly that I can't miss a whole round(or more) and do some RL stuff without losing the multi.

Agreed. Pretty silly that I lose it simply because I was unfortunate to have to download a map at some point.

It's ridiculous that you can't go into spectator to take a quick bathroom break and keep your multi. The new system encourages leeching/kamikazee.

Whereas before a player might politely go into spec, if spec makes us lose our multiplier better to just rush in and die in 10 seconds wasting a slot the team needs than to simply toss an x5 away for no reason.

+1 and i want the server to record my multi so i can quit the game instead being spectator and have my multi when i join that server again. tbh i tought the multi reset was doing this when i first saw that message.

Agreed. Sometimes I have to break for a round to walk the dogs or make tea or whatever. Kind of lame that I have to lose my multi to do it.

Totally agree, they should remove the multi reset.  It was nice being able to go afk to piss and not worry about losing a multiplier.  So now if you have to go AFK for a couple minutes you don't go spectator when you die, you kamikaze to your death.  So instead of people being polite and going spectator, now they just leech or kamikaze...always seems like the dev's try to fix an issue and it just creates another one...

I think they implemented this because of people who would not play the first round and would wait til the 2nd round to play with the people who had their banner.  I think that was pretty lame and I never did that (I like to fight for my multiplier, even against clanmates on the first round).

It would be nice if they removed this.

I'd leave some sort of statement saying that I agree but it seems that everyone else has that handled.

If you miss a round (aka don't spawn) instead of being able to keep your multi it's reset the next time you spawn in.  Even if you go spectator you lose your multi

You have two choices in cRPG

Dwell in front of your monitor

Or attempt to use the bathroom/anything else and pray you dont get fucked over for having some sort of a life

Either with or without warm up, this multiplier reset has to go.
I think they implemented this because of people who would not play the first round and would wait til the 2nd round to play with the people who had their banner.
This is truly something not so good and would be good if properly adressed, but punishing regular players because they like to take breaks (for cigarretes, talking with someone, eating something or whatever) is definitely not worth solving this smallish issue.

400kb is not big, we need more download speed.

It is not big at all, but the download speed of maps on cRPG servers is abysmal

Maybe they should publish the new maps somewhere else, and start the download in the cRPG launcher already. Of course, this would only work for the official servers.

Just lost a multiplier myself, along with half the team I was playing with on the previous map. 75 players, only 30 made it in time to play due to a 500k map download. (and why are these map files bloated anyhow?)

It's just dumb how hard of a choke we have on map downloads. Source games (as an example) can have map sizes at upwards of 50MBs and even using just the "through server" download is faster than ~15kbs we get now. Not to mention, since most crpg servers have to be verified through the modmaker's stuff anyway, we should have a fast download redirect. Calling a 500kb file bloated is thinking in the wrong direction.

This is a rather annoying problem, I rather dislike loosing my multiplier just like the rest of the people here. A separate download where we could grab all the maps for the severs would be great.

remove multi totally, give 4x for the rounds you win

Please revert the multiplier reset.

You "fixed" one problem (people waiting until the 2nd round to join when banner balance kicks in) and created more.  Now people either have to suicide rush the enemy (which hurts their team) or just hide somewhere if they go AFK, both are obvious cases of leeching.  Before they could do the respectful thing and go spectator and come back and still have their multiplier (assuming their team won the round they went spec). 

I honestly don't think that many people waited for the banner balance on 2nd round, so your fix only fixed a few game exploiters, but your multiplier reset affects 100% of the players. 

I know that everyone in Hospitallers when we're on teamspeak always join the first round and we fight it out to keep our multiplier.  It's a lot of fun actually (fuck banner balance in general, but that's another topic).
