Have we waited long enough?

All I can say is that it not just specific to CTF. War has been waiting for its update for years as well. All we can have now is patience.

 

Remember WiKi_KiKi's Necro rework? They must add that!

 

completely agree with this, this is why I'm partially okay with instakills being int the game atm.

But @Quarrelt @NomNuggetNom do you think you guys and the other staff members would be willing to work with @Alturia10 's CCC Team? We basically are a fair amount of regulars that are trying to come up with better more balanced classes, and have some pretty good ideas going imo. While I get why there isn't much work being done on ctf classes atm, you can't get any progress done w/o actually starting it and doing some trial and error.

It may also make reworking ctf easier since you have a larger group of people working on it, and all we will need is coding + testing.

 

There are also hundreds of reworks posted on the old forums as well as these, some of which are very sound, that are pretty much ignored by staff. I'd like this to happen, but it's better to not get your hopes up

 

I don't know if I'm the only one who started thinking about gender equality when I read the post and all the different, but there are some similarities here...
Gender equality, yes, it theoretically exists by law in most countries. I can't speak for the whole world since I mostly know the situation in the german-speaking room or Europe in general, but I'd just assume that it's pretty similar in most of the countries CTF'ers live in. As said, there are no laws which forbid women to get into higher positions of bigger companies, yet in most of them, women don't come across a 20% mark. 80% of all spots are taken by men.
Same with universities (at least in Switzerland, the country I live in). There are a few more female students (like 55%-60%), but most of the professors are, yes, you guessed it right, male.
Now for Switzerland, women were given the right to vote 1971 (yes, this late). Back then, most of them were optimistic that there'll soon be equality everywhere. 10 years passed. Many women got into higher positions. Another 10 years passed, but the change wasn't as radical as before. Many said that a ratio for higher positions in bigger companies was needed now. We don't have this ratio as of now, and the idea of this ratio leads to constant discussions, not dumb discussions, no, not at all. It's a very difficult subject to discuss. Our class normally discusses very fast and comes to a final conclusion pretty fast, but this time, over an hour of discussion passed by without any major new discoveries being made.
What we all agreed on was that the current situation is not ideal and has to change, however, no one was able to say that a ratio is better or worse. It's helluva touchy topic. I don't want to sound arrogant, but our class is in general pretty smart but we weren't able to say which ratio (if any) to pick and how to implement it. Whatever you'd set the ratio to, there'll always be people which aren't happy with it.
No one wants to take risks to implement a ratio (although it has been implemented in some scandinavian countries and it came out pretty well).
Saw some similarities? Well, if you did, my job is done, kthx.

 

wtf r u on about

 

TBH if banners were dropped items, there would be no problem.

 

Why do so many people create class rework threads, when they know the staff ignore each one anyway? Because it shows how so many people desperately want changes to be made. The staff really should have taken this hint after so long.

 

There are SOO many good rework ideas out their... And the mods COMPLETELY ignore them.

 

really good discussion here but, there is something to be said about incremental changes. it makes the most sense to attempt to make small changes at this point, we are in year 4 of this gamemode and things need to be done. there needs to be deadlines sent from the top to the class designers/devs. i am still following on the latest ctf news and things seem to be in standstill from what ive read so far. nom has done a good job with the change log which makes the changes more transparent.

 

we have waited long enough!

 

Bit old, but remember when a bunch of CTF players played on a factions server? It'd be cool if something like that could happen again...

 

LETZ DO DAT!

 

I do, I'm the one who came up with the idea.

It was fun while it lasted, for sure.
