»SOS Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) I know a lot of you have seen the screen filled with KOTH messages when everyone is spectating and away.Yeah, annoying. Still, when the game is active, it works more or less well, although... it gives very little points (20-40k or so to the winners every few minutes or so). Well, that might seem like an OK sum but there simply aren't that many winners. So the points are rarely given out at all. So... should KOTH be scrapped since it's useless?Or should the reward be increased? (I don't care... well I care, since I see the afk KOTH spam a lot, but in general, I want to know what you think) Edited November 13, 2005 by SOS
kick me!! Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 I definitely think drop. Let's say if you were the only one in the zone, and you increased the KOTH points by...let's say, 10x, it's literally free points just sitting in spec. I don't mind the spam though; it's not that repe!@#$%^&*ive.
XDOOM Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 I think we should develop a bot version of KOTH Heres there idea: Everybody starts with the KOTH ... and as you die you loose it. The last person with KOTH will then recieve periodic prizes of super (like 1 price every 2 min) until he is finally killed. The longer he lasts the more points he wins ... (say 100k for every 5 minutes)The person who kills him wins bonus points (say 10% of what the KOTH person won) The location of the person with KOTH is also publically announced every 5 minutes. Speccers can't play.

Speccers can't play. Hmm...Definitely think this is a bad idea. If you look in more depth into it, if you get a vet or a good player (such as myself =D), and they get KOTH, it would be insane. He would literally be unstoppable, unless ganged 1v10, which most likely, won't happen. This will scare all the newbies away, thinking that the vet will always get KOTH and rape them over and over, continually. The upside to this is that it encourages the newbies to play longer and more, to earn the KOTH. Most cases though, there will always be a vet in the game when newbies are around. The points giving is an insane amount, if it was something like that. It would definitely have to be like, 10k every 5 mins, and the person who killed him should get prizes AT LEAST 50% of what the person with KOTH won. The person could be in a jav, spraying bullets like no tomorrow with super, would be relatively hard to kill him. He could, EASILY, run around the map for the longest time ever, and earn free points. The periodic messages would help, although, if the person with KOTH was smart, he'd portal away every now and then, and run other directions. KOTH is a bad idea for records. People trying to earn the highest record (like old deva, ratio) will ALWAYS go for KOTH, then later sit at 50:0 if they have it for the rest of the year/month/stat reset. Then another person sees this record, and does the same, and gets 51:0. Recing won't be the same. It won't be hard-earned as before. Same as points. Eventually, people holding the highest recs and points didn't earn it LEGIT. I can't really think of anything else then that, but if i do, i'll post.
»SOS Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 That's also a bad idea for another reason: it's too big of an idea! You see, it distracts people from flagging. That is bad. Very bad. Deva = flagging.
