et server suggestion Stopwatch on Hardcore

[Aigle]

It probably have been discussed a lot, but I think it would be good for Hardcore to be on stopwatch. Before you stop to read here and reply NO I DON'T WANT TO, let me explain my point. Hardcore is getting close to what a real scrim would look like. The only thing that we miss is a stopwatch. People are more objective oriented and we have a lot of fun defending/attacking. Also, some people still complain about the rush sometimes, so with a stopwatch config we would have a lot of time to play the map. Now, something I really enjoy about what we have on the server is the g_gametype 6 which gives the "vote map" menu at the end of the map so we don't have to play the same rotation over and over which the stopwatch would cause. So I know that if we put stopwatch on, some people will not like some maps and leave. With the "vote map" menu, it gives them the opportunity to vote for the next map and it makes those people stay. I provided a long time ago a new gametype and I think it would be good to have it on the server.

See this post for more information on the mod: http://fearless-assa...topwatch-lua/

 

We could try it for 1 or 2 weeks to see if everybody like it and take a close look if people are complaining about that on the server.

i like this idea even though i dont play on hardcore..but i think its going to restric the number of maps for it . i dont think people would do baserace as SW type match

[vke]

Imo if we are gonna make it more like a scrim, we should just turn it into public etpro, multi-patch if possible, don't tell anyone, just keep the name so ppl don't know the difference

 

But it is a very good idea, i would definitely play there more. The maps would have to change, like F25 said; i don't want to be playing 60 minutes of oasis or goldrush. If we had the SW versions it would work

I don't think it would work.. THe multipatch I mean. If im right the newest etpro version doesn't work at .55.

True dat.

 

 

And I agree that playing big maps like Venice (30 minutes) two times in a row would be really long. Remember it's just something to try and not something to adopt right away. I would like to know if some people complain about it or not. If they do, then we just let it like it is. I'm only playing on Hardcore and I think this is something were missing.

idk we been getting alot of Q-tips on there that still dont know who they're aiming at, Maybe ingame stopwatch vote so when enough people are on the server that know what they are doing we can have some fun. Many of us on hardcore take a break to etpro server for single pistol scrims etc ^^we should do more of that <3 =F|A=

 

we need Thor to come back and remove the FF vote again with Rcon

[vke]

I didnt think newest pro worked .55, maybe just not run newest etpro version? idk. But I would love for hardcore to be more of a "pro" server, stopwatch, only comp/scrim maps/ ff always on.

 

 

Im on the etpro server pretty much every night from around 10:00 gmt -7 to midnight, if anyone wants to join blade and i for some single pistol fun. Or anytime ya wanna play add me on xfire

RCON is no more. I have removed it from Etpub also due to hacking issues.

 

@Stopwatch I vote no.

 

Reason:

1. Hardcore is public server where newbies also enjoy. The poll will only show forums regular voice what about who never visit forums?

 

2. We have stopwatch server on 2.6b and thats Etpro. Why you guys want to make another stopwatch server when even old one is not getting used at all?

[Aigle]

lol, I agree that the vote for FF should be turned of when we play. But some other players prefer to play with it. So I guess that when you are on the server, you can do !cancelvote or !passvote and when you are off, they can do what they want.Rcon is disabled on the server until the new authref.lua mod will be on the server.

[hobbit]

I vote yes since I love SW mode, but as Dare said, why not just play .6b ETPRO or even go to some nooby EFP box or Die Match and pwn some ass there?

I completely agree with you that the server regular won't come here to vote. However this is to put stopwatch and vote mod. It's a lot different then a normal stopwatch server which become boring after you play the same map in the same order again and again. I would enjoy to play with the newbies on that kind of mod. This is the reason why I quit my old clan which was really too much into scrimming and no more fun. I enjoy playing ET for fun and for objective vs a lot of newb. The goal of the change is not to put it more like etpro/scrim thing for me, it's more to have fun in a stopwatch base.

 

Let me explain another point which makes me angry about a single map objective game. You start the map and you realize that the teams aren't really fair but you try to make them fair by joining the defending team. Then you play the map (which is let's say 20 minutes) and you defend it really well. However at 4 minutes before the end, you get 1 panzer guy and 1 flamer guy that come up and kill you and the 2 other guys with you. That's good, they teammed up and did a pretty good job. However now they are winning the game and you have no way to fight back. The way I see stopwatch is to have the opportunity to fight back to those kind of battles. You have to wait for the next round and then you prove that yes they can team up in a certain point but that when your team team up to do the obj you are doing better.

 

This is all about having more fun for objective oriented servers and not for trying to make it etpro/scrim like (even if it does because stopwatch seems more like scrim/etpro). My poll is there to make more people to give opinions on that point. I would like the opinion of the regular guys and not on the scrimmers which for sure will enjoy this kind of game type. This is also why I suggest that we put it on for 1 week and I will personnally look at all opinions from server regulars while I'm there. Instead of making it during the whole day while I'm not there, I could put it on while I'm on the server and then look at everybodies comment. If we see that the server get emptied of newbs (which means no white namers and no new regulars that we know about) and that we only see more scrim people coming on, then that will prove the point that we don't need the mod. However if we see that those newbs play and seems to not complain/say anything/disconnect after seeing a stopwatch mod, then we could think about keeping it for another week or two.

 

Again I completely agree with you on the point that those newbs will not say anything on the forums, but perhaps they can say something on the server. Also, I'm the first one here that want to play with and against those newbs so it's not in my plan to make them go away.

 

PS.: This is a suggestion, so I don't want anyone to take anything personnally. I'm not the one paying for the servers and I don't think I do a lot of stuff for the server. So this is all your decision and not mine. I always have that in mind when I do comments on the forums.

 

I vote yes since I love SW mode, but as Dare said, why not just play .6b ETPRO or even go to some nooby EFP box or Die Match and pwn some ass there?

 

I think I answered that question by saying that I don't want to play against those drama people. I want to play on F|A server with all the admins and all the newbs.

I agree ith aigle, love the idea to vote stopwatch mode on and off. testing it for a week won't hurt, and if it fails i will go down on everyone to get the to comeback on the server :'(.

[!Chuck4Abuck]

mmmm well i know stopwatch is nice butt , i ratter hit the etpro server maybe if we set up a date that we can all play on the etpro we get it goin on , if ther a etpro server lets use it ....so with ff we know many some panzy;s and aimless dudes that ratter have it off but hey !passvote ftw

[TulsaGeoff]

When playing pub I like cycling through different maps, and I feel most think the Same way.

 

But I have the best idea ever. On the map voting could you configure a stopwatch vote to play the map over with the clock set that would be so baller.

Elaborate please. Example? I think it's doable.
