Title: Given up on Construction?
Post by: Erathsmus on June 05, 2011, 02:22:52 am
Construction sites have been around for some time now, is there any news on them being worked on or anything? I really like the idea of keeping the battlefield dynamic, makes a map feel fresh every time [ :...Unless sploited of course.

I honestly don't know why they aren't allowed again. They are destructible. They take an appropriate amount of materials to make stuff now. What's the issue? If it's people still placing them with no intent to build, as blocking mechanisms, the issue isn't the c-sites, it's the players involved in the shenanigans.

Was just playing siege on some eu server yesterday, and it was stated by a present admin that they are allowed.

Don't have a screeny and don't remember the admin's name sadly

Admins don't want to have to deal with it, because someone will abuse it. They always do.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I always liked the idea of being able to errect barriers for strategic defense.  Its a shame they still think the server cant handle csites used for this purpose.  I mean 2 2h'ers can take it out in about 5 swings each.

I'm assuming like ladders and construction mats, it never charges the user any sort of repair bill?  Would be nice if they lowered the price to between 10-20k and did charge you for repairs, so we COULD use them as barriers.  Or at least let them CREATE some sort of defensive barrier, like a wall with pointy sticks that hurt you if you run into them!

Having 5 people stack csites on the main ladder or ramp up pretty much makes attackers lose.  It takes 2-3 minutes for 1 person to break them all and  I've also seen people wall off gate controls and flag entrances with it and while it is destructable it unbalances the game too much.  Theres really no point in Csites in siege other than annoying people and breaking maps.  What especially annoying is when attackers use them to grief their own team.  Since they spawn every 4 seconds they can spam construction sites to block off ladders ect and just annoy friendly players.  Csites should be for strat and not siege.

Ladders can remove the problem of c-sites on ramp.

This is true of everything that sucks in cRPG and gaming in general.

How about we ban the players who use them to block places...and let the ones whom use them appropriately not be banned. And when an admin is not on, I am sure someone can easily screen the person.

Huh, they are removed again? When they were made destructible, they were just fine then...

Oh well, i hate siege. Its stupid.
