Please lock servers to 30 mins

[old.Stabs]

Dunno how peeps are doing it but im joining servers and its at 60 min time limit, everytime people try to change it back to 30 its ALWAYS over 60% of the voters voting it back 30 but bout 50 of peeps on server dont bother to vote.

The only thing that a 60 min time limit does is make maps like tombstone and thin ice drag on.... and on... and on...

Personally id like the ability to vote to 60 mins removed completely but dont wanna take democracy out of the game.

Just appealin, especially if ya can do it through BW admin to make the time limit change BACK to the default 30 mins after the match ends.

I say this cos most of the match lengh exstension to 60 mins is for one map were its close or a draw and they want to continue to decide, then people get stuck on tombstone and noone can do anything to change it cos of all the lazy bastards who dont vote making it near impossible to get anything to pass .

 

[old.Amything]

agreed!

If you cant to it temporarly with BW admin just make it so that people dont have a choice of voting on the timelimit, its really bad IMHO.

Thanks

ummm I like it

get ya grubby little hands off that vote button, I like 60 min games, it gives me a chance to work out what map I'm on and where the hell everything is.

30 mins is just too short for this game.

 

[old.Stabs]

bob the only levels were games ever actually last LONGER than 30 mins is Tombstone, Recallacence and thin ice. I happen to like Recal and Thin ice but the general consensis is people dislike these 3 maps the most and forcing people to play those maps twice as long as the fast capping maps is a sure fire way to get people droppin off server like flies.

If ya dont know the level play it offline can use whatever time limit ya like that way .

I agree, ditch 60 mins but keep 45 mins because if there is a good standoff, an extra 15 mins can be fun

 

[old.Stabs]

yeah fun for that map maybe but once maps over your stuck with 45 mins from then on. People vote for something extending the match in the exitement of a countdown and wanting to keep things going to decide a victor but once everyone calms down and its the next map noone bothers voting anymore and no matter how many times people vote for 30 mins back there just isnt enough voters to make the change (despite nearly all voters wanting 30 mins back)

 

[old.D R E ad]

Simple :

Mod the servers so that the time limit goes back to 30 mins after, say, 2 games or something. I have been looking into the T2 scripting language and it would be easy.

 

[old.KW]

why 2 games? should do it at the end of the map imho =)

60 mins on thin ice come'on ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[old.Requ!em]

Only 60 minutes? =O)

Demon & Jolt servers were set to 2 hours last night. On 'low cap' maps such as Thin Ice, Recalescence it was a slog I can tell you =]

Thin Ice is my favourite map if you can get any sort of teamwork going - if you can't it sucks.

 

[Custy]

Yeah but the teamwork required is too much for a pubbie, sometimes you can get a transport ful of heavies to go into the base and when that happens it is possibe to grab the flag.

What i hate about Thin Ice is the base looks so dull from the outside. Just looks like a sandwhich box. Square.

At least maps like recalsceancejkjdfeisa(whatever it is called) has 3 big entrances to an underground network of tunnes etc.

Btw, recalescance is quite easy to cap on. All you need is a sensor jammer pack. Go in the front entrance (no sentry turret there) Drop down 2 levels till you get to a triangular room with a walkway around the outside. Drop down to bottom and towards the flag, as you fly up towards flag stand, as soon as you hear turrets start to turn, switch on your jammer pack, skip over the top of the flag and do the next half of the base which is symetrical to the first half. You come out of the back entrance then start using VFT (take flag), give it to someone with a NRG pack and win. I usually manage to grab and pass it off to someone who then caps on that map. Dont always think that the Energy pack is vital for capping. I use Jammer pack on that map and sanctuary then usually end up giving it to somone else, but if you play as part of a team and dont mind loosing 3 points then your team can win.

yer fergettin how to deal with mines and satchel charges on flag, easiest way is to fire a few grenades at the cealing just before the yellow light structure on cealing, this should make em land on flag (alternative is to stand on one of the support beams in the corridors surrounding flag room, this gives you direct line of sight to mines if ya dont have GL).

Once ya got flag make sure to spam few blinds and mines to throw off flag chasers.

Thank you BWADMIN

I hope the new option to reset to default time limit after map changes will be used on the pubbies .
