    Hey guys,

    so in ctf I have noticed that it can be easy to run out of ability items, such as arrows for archers, potions, etc.

    My idea is to have enderchests scattered around all the maps, which reset/resupply your kit on left/right click with a cooldown.

    At the moment, it can be hard to maintain a streak simply because you ran out of steak.

    Leave feedback/opinions in replies.

    Uh, don't you think some greedy players would camp around the chests?
    Plus the aim of ctf is to capture the flag(explicit), not to get killstreaks.

    There would be cooldowns on the chests, and they would be in high conflict zones. And it's hard to capture a flag with no steaks or abilities :smile:

    I have other changes in mind for medic :smile:

    It just seems so pointless because you get no credit whatsoever

    These resupply chests would work like control points. You could hold them and when a runner gets the flag and escapes, if there's a chest along the way and the offensive medic is being denied, the runner can stop at the chest to pick up steak and whatever else their class has.

    You should tell us the changes you have in mind BEFORE posting this. Sooo basically when you're done.

    I agree with both of you, there is no point in having chests like these when medic already has this unique ability.

    Well a huge part and strategy of recovery is killing the offensive medic to prevent the flagholder from getting full steak and health. I do this as assassin or any other class before I even focus on the flagholder. If these chests were implemented, capping would be easy and not challenging. These chests are basically camping medics that cannot be destroyed and therefore make the game unbalanced.

    Though I think a way to improve this (if it was implemented) is to have a cooldown on the chest so they can only gain back their items every 5 minutes, and this time couldn't be altered by respawning or being healed by a medic. Another improvement in my opinion would be to have the chest only restore half the amount of steak the class has. This would make capping easier (and recovery as assassins/ninjas/etc could gain back redstone), but medic would still be vital to capping.

    A cooldown would be good, or limit the access to those not holding the flag.

    There used to be a thing called restock stations, but they were short-lived and removed.

    Most players will thank the medic after they're healed. The idea is rather good, but I don't see it happening.

    Honest opinion? Replace medic with something else. There is no motiviation at all for it because you get no credits for killing, etc. Maybe give it a combat buff and take away it's ability to restore items.

    I don't think that would be good. People do believe it needs Sharp 1 back to help with combat, but other than that there are still plenty of player playing medic

    Just no. You're suggesting to remove a vital class. Just bring Sharpness I back to the sword and it's all good. I disagree with this idea, it would unbalance the already unbalanced gamemode.
