Flagging is Great!

[op2rules]

Alright guys I know a lot of you are a bunch of whining suckers out there, but honestly I think HS flagging has gotten really good! I mean think about it, a fg happens around every 20 minutes on average (remember before fgs would take like 4 hours sometimes?) I think this is perfect because if you only plan on playing hs for about an hour you don't work hard for a team and then get no reward!

 

That brings me to the fact that the fg rewards are also quite legit! I mean really on average an fg gives about 15-20k and big ones are in the 40s. This is perfect I mean really lots of cash makes hs a lot more sensible now as you don't have to spend 10 hours to make cash for something simple.

 

Lastly, of course there is a lot of hopping, but seriously I don't think its really that bad as people make it out to be. Sure a few people hop but if you think about it the hopping only really occurs once the fg is over already anyways, that actual flagging part of it remains intact.

 

So is it just me, or is everyone just a bunch of whining bastards and can't learn to appreciate time and effort put into balancing the game?

I just wish ?jackpot worked and you could actually increase said jackpot buy milking flags. You could cap it at a certain prize amount or make it where increases in JP size require exponentionally more kills after a certain amount.

 

Its seems like only a few of us REALLY know how JP size is determined and JPs never reflect the amount of action in any given flag game.

I had a brilliant idea too of using that top10 thing to determine jp rewards a little too, like the #1 player gets an additional 15% of the jackpot, etc.

Jackpots should be divided equally amongst the team. If someone is playing the roll of rusher who goes in to rep bomb lines will die a lot with a minimal amount of kills, giving him a poor ranking, but his role is still important. Lancs would face a similar discrimination.

 

 

Being able to see the jackpot would definitely be a nice addition.

[Kilo]

you can see the jackpot

maybe you mean the flag reward

i am noob, hwo2 see jackpot?

[Corey]

would be cool to see the jackpot go up like it did before (with kills) up to a certain amount, determinded on how many people are flagging, and also get the bonus at the end of the fg, like it is now. So say it was a 10v10, the jackpot COULD go up to 30k that would be divided by the winning team at the end of the fg. If there was say a 20v20 fg then jp could go up to 60k.

?jackpot

 

it does go up with kills, how else would it go up

?jackpot

i guess i didn't phrase my question correctly. or i didn't give enough details. right now if i do a ?jackpot in HS it tells me the jp is 8. if someone were to win the flag game right now the team would not be rewarded only 8 hs dollars.

That's because the flag reward is not the same thing as the jackpot.

[vetta64]

how do you win jackpot?

[Dr Brain]

The jackpot is a (very small) part of the flag reward.
