Changes

[Dr Brain]

• There are 20 flags. (See http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=22126)
  
• Players can carry up to 7 flags at a time (still takes 3 players to win a game from completely neuted).
  
• Periodic rewards were adjusted to compensate for more flags.
  
• Flag spawn radius increased to allow the possibility of spawning in other sectors.
  

 

Additionally, Friday evening and all of Saturday will be public frequencies only for as long as staff members with settings access can be bothered to keep it up.

[Rivel]

Good idea, harder for other team to get flags.

[Gar]

Great change. I logged on (friday night) and was actually able to play

[omni]

Like Arnk said, wall neuts will be a problem.

 

Also, I thought you were trying to encourage flagging. Since this has been implemented, I've just seen a bunch of people flying around center with flags.

 

Once in a while you should do hosted flag games. Maybe start a league, which has been suggested before. It really isn't that hard or time consuming.

Do squad matches in HS it will be funny.

in b4 leagues take forever to plan -Arnk

[Domio]

make an event where there are 2 bases and 2 teams...have a center with the bases on the right and left...make flags spawn in the center...set a jp and cant win right away and have to wait a certain time limit until you can win...wasnt there an event like this a long time ago Edited November 22, 2008 by Domio

[Kilo]

you make it, and not really

flagtime is still out there and probably will still be used in a league

and those don't take forever to plan

u just like being a rebel don't u

[Exiili]

Too many reds in center to hunt them all and flags already spawn to other sectors in beginning. So, it's safe to say that atleast couple of flags are hidden in each game.

In my opinion running around in nothingness for half an hour looking for flags so we could win some lousy 3k price doesn't really count as fun.

Yes, you made flag games longer.

Yes, you made them much less fun.

Yes, now we can wallneut again.

 

I can see how basing is going to de-evolve back to private teams and brickspamming.

[Emit]

Just out of curiosity, why would priv freqs be removed during peak times of the week and not during the week? Wouldn't it be the other way around? During a low population, you would rather it be concentrated on two freqs so basing happens. While when population is high, the amount of players are allowed to expand into privs?

Its called ?go fc

[Sharpflame]

Having to search for flags isn't fun, but even with 5 flags people could pick them up and hide them on the walls in the ice bases (best hiding spot EVAR!). If it's really terrible it may be made better, just wait

This is what I have said all along, the "hyperspace tunnel" have long out lived thier usefullnes. We need something that is more central. The Center could be huge with two bases one at each end.

 

Why always have 7 bases when only 3 at the most are used on any given mapset. There is far too much empty space

[Evil Doom]

i say keep the arena design the same... just switch around the bases.... its nice to have options when it comes to what base to use... this isnt CTF

[Corey]

you make it,

ok, but will you implement it?

[Linear-Key]

I support flag hiding, searching, and wallneuting. Makes the game more interesting by adding more diverse tactics that can be used, and to be prepared for.

[Kilo]

we'll implement it if it's good

also i wasn't talking to you

 

linear-key one reason this zone is bad, wall neuting is just detrimental to the game

20 flags just made the zone worse then it was when it had 5 flags. We are just running into a pit of fire right before our eyes....

 

Also, I though you wanted to make flag games quick, brain? Not longer..

Ugh. 20 flags. I see so many places where the flags will get lamed.

I dont like the 20 flags. Takes longer to find and easier to hide :\

Bring it down to 10 flags, 4 flags a person.

 

EDIT mack pub 5 man MAX and make it so their are 40 flags.

with timed rewards for atleast 10 flags.

40 Flags? No, never. Pub 5 man max, no.
