Can we play it with no spawn invincibility? There will 110% be people who spawn and get hit with 4 rockets or so, and then finally die with everyone spawn killing.

In reality the spawn invincibility will help out in the long run with complaints. I have a feeling if people just constantly mine down and nade a CP, people will begin to complain a lot.

No spawn invincibility please... Everything about this war is perfect except spawn invincibility. If you really are adamant about it could we put it to a vote or something because personally spawn invincibility ruins the game for me more than being spawn killed :P

Post by: Breakdown on November 01, 2010, 04:08:34 PM
Would it be ebtter if I reduced the time down to like 1 or 2 seconds? this is just to prevent spawn killing with mines, which imo, is sort of unfair.

a second's good, if you give people too much time they'll be invincible to people shooting at them while they both have shots

I guess we could compromise at 1 second for mines :| but if you do once they land on it they will be flown off and will be easy pickings so theres not much of a chance that the 1 second will help them ;)

Yeah I know. :P But at least it gives you a bit more of a chance if someone leaves a mine at a CP and leaves it unguarded.

Title: Re: SWBF War - Week 1- Battle for Rhen Var
Post by: Master Zen on November 01, 2010, 05:25:22 PM
Spawn mining should be allowed. If you take the time remember the spawns, then you deserve the kills imo.

I don't think their should be spawn mining, it's a cheap method to keep yourself safe. You could get 3 rockets and rush the CP and start laying mines everywhere. I've seen this happen before and, trust me, it's no fun for ANYBODY. People will leave if they start to think that it is getting ridiculous that they can't spawn without getting blown to hell and back in the first 3 seconds.
My opinion on the spawn invincibility is one second also. Any more than that and they get advantage shots over their opponents. But, and I'm just saying this because of reality, in the heat of battle, people will start REACTING to people that suddenly spawn instead of THINKING before they shoot lol. Just saying. When is the match going to be and who will be the host? Will we play both maps one after the other or will they be on separate dates? Thanks,

The determination has been made that there will be one second of spawn protection time on the server. That is the final verdict for this match.

The match time and host has not been determined as of yet. I believe the maps will be played one after another.

If TK is on, spawn mining with invincibility presents no advangtages to the miner.

That is true. I'm assuming TK is on then?

On a further note, I would like to volunteer to host this game if you would like me to. I can be on whenever the match is and I will be a good and responsible host.

if that miner feels like going kamikaze into the enemy base over and over, then he's not going to do much for his team. The point we made is that with TK on, there won't be any spawn mining at all, unless people are really stupid.

Post by: Soap Mactavish on November 01, 2010, 07:31:06 PM
You can throw mines about 5ft if memory serves. That enough to envelope the outside of the base with mines.

The little immunity thing does tend to throw me off. For one, there's always the issue of opposite-spawn kill, when the spawner has fast enough reflexes to blow anyone in the vicinity sky high with a rocket. I've done it several times myself. It does feel a little cheep if you get that moment of invincibility to protect you while you're shooting down your enemy. :/

Still, I can see the reasons, and I'll abide.  8)

Yeah, Rhino is right. While SWBF Mac may be dead, it doesn't mean there aren't skillful players still playing the game (me, Rhino, my clan members, and Darth Bubba being the best as of now). But, again, it makes sense so I won't say anymore on the subject.

It happens rarely enough.  :shrug:

@ Gree, since when did I become one of the best?  ;) Last I looked there were about a couple players on MPC who could kick me into a garbage can and toast it afterwards.  :cheers:

Yes, go to the multiplayer menu, and join a direct connection.
It will ask for the IP, and hopefully at this point you have kept note of it, as it's
just a string of 'random' numbers.

Led and JK have both been excellent hosts. A DC afterall is the only possible way for both Mac and PC players to play on the same server (LAN doesn't really count unless everyone takes a trip to San Antonio and camp inside JK's home for a few weeks).

If for some emergency reason both of them cannot host, I'll open up to host seeing how I've done it a few times. :)

It's been a while and we've gotten a large amount of new members so if people are unsure of how to join, refer here:

Depending on if you win or lose here will define how the rest of the war will be set, defeat is a heavy weight on the next battle.

Do you think you could move the war an hour or even 2 hours earlier? If not, i can probably make it for maybe half the war. If the war is from 7-8pm est, it would be fine, but if the war starts at 7-8 pmest and goes on for who knows when, i dont know. Just a suggestion.

Yeah, I know. My mistake, the war starts at 7 EST and ends at 8 EST (estimated end time). EST is an hour LATER than my time (CST) and it is now 5 o'clock PM CST time. That means that the war starts in one hour exactly correct? Also, Breakdown has STILL not posted Led's IP Address. Is there another topic or page that it is posted on? If so, could you please direct me to it or just post it here for everybody to see. Thanks,

OK, but the test server (the CC test that you mentioned before) starts at 7 pm EST but the actual MATCH starts at 8 pm EST right? Or am I just completely wrong again XD?

Once you post Led's IP Address, I will post it on my site so that all of my members will be able to join without a problem. Thanks for doing all this,

You are in the match CT, don't worry. It's just unregistreed people.

OK PEOPLE.

The I.P. is 69.246.184.48

CC is playing as a buffer map right now. DO NOT KILL PEOPLE OR CAPTURE CP'S. We have to wait until adequate teams arrive and balance out the teams if it is unbalanced.

PLEASE review the rules and see which team you are registered for. Remember you will be booted if you are not registered or if you disobey the rules.

kk breakdown - dont get me wrong im not complaining (lol) but I think it would be more fun for the rebels and maybe empire if we either made it
a) no jets
b) no cps

cause i mean the emps always had like 2 more cps and the jets were flying around a lot. dont get me wrong i have nothing against either of them - separately. However, when they can just fly around and take our cps, were always 2 steps behind, ya know?

anyway i think we should make it either no cps or no specials. please.  :D

But the Rebels are far better at close quarters and defending... teams should play to their strengths rather than rushing for cps in a mess.

To all of you complaining about restrictions or lack thereof:

Breakdown has clearly stated what the rules are. This game is played anything goes. There are no restrictions on what is allowed and what is not, beyond those stated in the first post of any match topic. In this case, the only rules were:
- No glitching
- No switching sides
- No whining
- No negativity towards server ("LAG!")
- No TKing
- Have fun

If you wish to impose your arbitrary restrictions on gameplay, you are more than welcome to do it in tournaments or events that you organize, and I will defend your right to do so in those advertised on my site. However, whatever rules you may use internally do not have a bearing on this tournament and complaining about them will serve no purpose other than to get you booted off the tournament.

A hung-up server has nothing to do with my internet connection, I assure you.  Unfortunately, I was not able to participate in the tournament, or be at home when it occured.  Otherwise, I may have been able to care for the server.  When I got home, I was able to connect and play harbour.

I have previously hosted DC's every weekend for more than a year with at most one or two problems.  So, issues are generally very rare.

In any event, feel free to step up and be a host!

From what I recall, spawn rape had a softban (trust system; we never banned it but for the most part we didn't abuse it too much) and it never really was an issue. Same applied to CP mining and other forms of unfair spawn rape. I was very surprised that it did become an issue this year.

The only thing I recall was people complaining about lag, which is inevitable for a game like SWBF.

I guess we could do a classic "Dea1, maz1, da1, cc, platforms" setup to eliminate the issues of vehicles. I am sorry to hear about it.
