Couple of changes: just a trial

[Andy]

Just trying out some changes for a few days.

Personally, I was really starting to get annoyed with everyone having unlimited funds. However, we also want people to not get annoyed with having no money, no guns, round after round.

I thought it might be a cool idea to make the following changes:

1. Starting money changed to 5000
2. /lol no longer gives out money
3. When someone dies, they drop a loot bag. If you collect this bag, you get a random amount of their money and a random weapon/armour/grenade from that person.

This means that (if you were stevie) you could just run around collecting loot bags, and end up with 16000, and 5 primary guns to choose between.

I think personally that this is going to work really well, but we're gonna try it for a few days and see what the reaction is. If people dont like it and want it changed back, we of course will.

wow, sounds cool!!

[Andy]

we played it for a bit tonight,

the general feedback was that the looting of grenades and weapons and armour was really good (people like running around with loads of weapons), but some people definately want /lol back. (herman sounded like he was going to cry when he couldnt afford a gun, because everyone looted his money)

I am going to attempt to change the plugin so that when you "loot" someone, you dont take money, just the items. Then, we will put /lol back on and put the starting money to 16000.

On next mapchange (which, by the time most of you have read this, will have already happened) it will go back to normal while i work on changing the plugin a bit.

oh, and i missed it :(
16000 for /lol is to much i think, 5-6000 should be enough tbh..

Personally, I don't mind the /lol for money because people tend to play a little more wild and removing this would make people play like D/O/G White Line.. You know.. not do shit... and be too afraid of dying.. This will affect the gameplay a lot if you ask me.. I mean can you imagine it.. HERMAN NOT RUSHING ANYMORE...Oh my god tears are popping in my eyes.. Seeying herman... rushing from the vent with a glock.. ok i'm going to stop now.. my collegues are lookin at me weird because i'm this close to crying...

:'(

Ok.. on the serious note.. Make it that you can't spambuy weapons 1 primary wep and 1 secondary wep.. Make it that it slaps you if you get more of these in 1 round just like the nades.

If I may add about the gameplay input:

Currently there are swift rounds which is great for people waiting and there's never a dull moment.

Maybe try taking off the damage counters and see how that works.. would make people wallbang less and easier to identify cheaters.. oh shit never mind about that then!

1 last thing (wewt I descovered the edit button)

You should make it then whenever I type /bitch everyone with Stevie Says Yay! in their name should get caged and free for everyone to poke with sticks that would become available.

Yeah..

personally i trully hated the loot plugin, probably because i was new to it, didnt know what to do, but within in five rounds im down to 18 credits,respawn can only afford a deagle.i left uk2 servers because i hated the fact that the money/credit situation meant the better player stuck together on one team and owned while the other team could only afford a pistol.. the way around it was to not buy guns camp at spawn as if afk and save up. this is what will happen on our server. for me if it aint broke dont fix it. there was nothing wrong with the old way, the players left in droves and by 11ish there was two players left!! if you want an empty server put loot on.baldy

Personally i didnt really mind the looting that was just funny but if you want people to stick around you could perhaps still leave the /lol command on but not let it give so much maybe 4 or 5 thousand, just enough for a gun, that way people can still buy a gun but also get the fun of stealing other peoples money and weapons.

and yeah it was kinda annoying that everyone left the server so early due to the loot plugin thought they should of stuck around and given it a try tbh but hey upto them, and i happen to agree with baldy, if it aint broke dont fix it :D.


on a different side of things....

Anyone up for a good spocking?

I at work or I would come shoot your sorry ass down :-)

that wouldn't make any difference since people could type it thrice and recieve full money afterall :)

I think he ment that you can only type that every certain time period. Perhaps once a round.

[Arcturus]

Spocking ftw!

Uhm i am with Shane. It was quite hard to really test this mod cause everyone left in like 2 minutes without giving it a real good try.

[Andy]

Hopefully it will be back to normal by now, it appears that people dont like something different from the normal stuff. I dont blame them really!

[BizaRRo]

lol, yes u do!

[Andy]

yeah... bunch of dicks
