Idea A few Ideas for CTF

I like the idea of credits for destroying turrets and I also like the idea of fireproof pyro, however getting a credit per assists I don't think this will be a good idea and may be farmable too and spam protection isn't a really big deal and is very easy to avoid from my experience. Nice ideas though hopefully some get implemented.

 

Assists: +1 - If there is a certain amount of time after you attack them that they die and you get the credits.
Turrets: +1
Spam Protection: -1 (See @Xelia_'s post below.)
Team win credits: +0.5*
Fireproof Pyro: + 0.5**

* Well, if you do your part for the team you get credits anyway. People will just go AFK and sit around for the credits if this gets implemented. I think if the other team doesn't get a flag, maybe a few credits for Perfect win.

** Pyro vs Pyro. It would make the fight a little boring. Maybe 25% reduced damage to fire.

EDIT:
• Added Spam Protection to my opinion
• Added the fact that there should be certain time that the enemy should die within for you to get the credits.

 

The assist thing would probably make credits way too easy to farm. You could just hit a bunch of people without finishing a fight and end up with more credits that if you had won a few fights.
I really like the turret idea, I think that's quite interesting. +1
I don't think spam protection is particularly necessary, personally. Like BestBae mentioned, it's fairly easy to avoid.
The team win credits idea tends to get shot down because of how little you need to contribute to gain credits in that circumstance. You could afk several games in spawn and still gain credits if your team wins. The purpose of credits is to gain rewards from actually doing something.
I'm all for a fireproof pyro or something along those lines. I had that thought previously, and I think it'd be a cool thing to implement. +1

 

maybe instead of a teamwin give specific credits for heals? like giving someone a heal gives you 2 or 4 credits?

 

The team win seems a bit more simple, that and imagine how many people would be farming if you were able to get credits for healing.

 

The team win may be more simple, but it is still not a fair way to earn credits.
I doubt healing can be "farmed" - healing your team is part of the game, it's a good thing if a medic is healing their team frequently.

 

I think an easier notion to fix the abuse of farming assists is setting a cooldown on how recent you must have hit someone to gain a single credit for an assist
for example, if the last person you hit was over 5 seconds ago, you won't gain any credits. If it was below 5 seconds, then you earn a credit for assisting.

Of course if we are or not going to implement credits for assists, the very least we could do is implement it in stats and leaderboards, as well as in game under kills as 'assists'. Assists would be a nice stat to have to review players for certain classes, such as medic.

This protection is a cooldown on the damage spell. You can't persay really spell spam your damage spell as it is on a (correct me if i'm wrong) 0.5-1 second cooldown. Sure it's annoying but then again arrowspamming from archer is worse.

 

you mean if the same last person you hit?

 

I mean if the last person you hit was killed by someone else in under 5 seconds ago it would account as an assist

 

I don't see how it's not a fair way to earn credits, I highly doubt people would sit there and do nothing for an entire round just to earn 10 or 15 credits, even randomly killing people can contribute to the team in some way.

 

getting 10-15 credits for doing nothing and being afk is pretty good

 

I don't see how, unless they changed it, the first premium class you buy is 10k, after that they're all 30k. You would have to win 2000 ctf matches just to get a class. I highly doubt anyone would sit there that long just to get a single class.

 

Regarding player assists on kills, if it's mathematically perfectly correlated to the amount of damage dealt over how much damage is needed to kill the class, then I think it would be a great addition. So that even if you hit an enemy once, that will give you .1 credits for example. So the more damage you deal, the more credits you earn. There's nothing unfair or unbalanced about that system. It would just take a bit of coding effort which could be better used in areas of higher priority imo.

 

make a bot to auto join servers, put it on while you go somewhere and you'll win quite some games

 

I agree with @SoCool21. Pyro should take damage from enemy fire, but not theirs. The turret idea is a good one and I can see it being really helpful. The issues with the credits for team wins have already been brought up.

Spam protection, I don't know about. Sure, people spam them. You can still kill both of those classes, especially when someone is spamming. Mage is a little more dangerous than a bowspamming Archer, especially now since the punch II was removed.

 

Say a match lasts 10 minutes long and the winning credit bonus is 10, in an hour you would make 60 credits just by sitting there. A full day of using a bot would only get you 1440. You would neet to bot 21 days, to get enough to buy one class. Not to mention you have to actually win the game first. I could be wrong.

 

I like alot of these ideas although there are some things I came up with that will be going against ur ideas
Assists- You earn 1 credit per assist. Big tick from me :3 But doesn't that mean the kill credit might need to be 3? and that the classes should cost more? Also this can be abused as SoCool said, so maybe they need to do at least contribute 89% of the damage

Turret Destroys - Earning 5ish credits per turret kill. I will often sacrifice myself in order to break a turret in my team's base or near my team's spawn. Not only is it quite frustrating to die over and over to a turret, but it also hurts your KDR. Earning some credits for destroying turrets would make engineers a bit less annoying to have to deal with.
YUS! Most certainly!

Spam protection - Something to prevent archers from bow spamming and mage's from spamming the damage spell.
Yeee I've already suggested this myself so thats a big YES

Team win Credits - It would be nice when your team wins, for you to get some extra credits ( maybe 10-25). Especially for support classes like medic who cant earn credits as easily. This would motivate people to win for their team, and not just to get a lot of kills.
Uhhh... Maybe not ;-; Think about it people can randomly join, afking or even switching they didnt do the hard work and didnt win, meaning they relied on others and didn't help the team so I don't really like this idea.

Fireproof Pyro - It doesn't make sense to me that a pyro would be able to get hurt by not only enemy's fire, but their own fire. I think they should be immune to all fire, Or at least have a very high flame resistance.
Yus immune to their own fire :3
