Standing for what CTF was, ready for NowTM

You say "we" don't use. But if there's new people ofcourse they'd have to use them??

 

so you are saying you want new players, but you also want people to cap less, making people get less credits (which you call useless), making it so people wont get premium classes making the game less fun for new people

ok

 

You're speaking with all of these "believe me" and "I would know" phrases as though you are the only one that has been playing the game for a while, but a large part of the player base(especially those responding to this post) have been around for four or five years, just like you. We all have different perspectives and opinions on the game, so maybe instead of arguing against the criticism, you could integrate it with your ideas so that whenever all of these things do come around, everyone is happy .

 

More complicated than it seems. Getting someone that wants to work for less than another job, that the other devs and putty can trust, and that is willing to put up with the **** people give them is difficult.

I've been making a point of emphasizing buffs/changes instead of nerfs. I also plan to post small class changes that stray away from the current pvp meta. Every class being powerful is not the correct solution either however. Some classes will be ****, some classes will be op. It'll always be that way no matter how we balance the game. It's our job to make those classes rotate so every one has a place in the meta at some point.

Once we get the game to a point where it can be maintained with small updates that happen often I think adding a new class would be a good idea. That however is not the current state of CTF. I don't think we should add a new class when we have potential to rework classes like dwarf and assassin into basically new classes themselves.

Every minecraft server has dropped in players. There are threads on servers like hypixel and mineplex talking about how they're dead when they're 10x more popular than brawl at the moment.

I'm speaking as an offensive player here. Capturing the flag should be the most difficult part of the game. That being said, new players should still be able to cap. The way we do this imo is to buff classes like elf into strong support classes to further enable those new players. If we rework dwarf/assassin into defensive powerhouses then change elf/chemisit/medic so that they are more rewarding it'll be pretty good imo.

I have way too many enemies to possibly listen to all of their opinions :^).

 

Addiction is created out of enjoyment of something. You only stay addicted to something because you still enjoy it and it makes you feel better (applies for everything even extreme addictions like alcohol drugs and smoking; not going to stop it if makes you feel better). As for CTF, addiction would mean that you enjoy playing the game or a group of friends or whatnot.

So no, if you are addicted you do pretty much still enjoy playing. Doesn't make sense to play something if you don't enjoy it any longer.

 

People stay addicted to things long after they are enjoyable, and they have a huge amount of trouble with moderation, causing people to play the game for hours on end without any real enjoyment. You never see an alcoholic enjoying a single glass of wine. Addiction stems out of wanting and physically craving something, not because they enjoy it. There are millions of cigarette smokers that hate smoking and are trying to quit but still struggle because they are addicted. Addiction starts with enjoyment but that tends to end rather quickly

 

I see your point, however I doubt that kind of addiction is present on ctf. No one that plays the game is staying just because they're addicted- they all enjoy an aspect of the gamemode such as teams- there are several players on teams that don't play regularly every day but only play matches cause they enjoy them. If they don't enjoy the game any longer they quickly lose interest and quit.

 

M8 CTF's been dying slowly for years.

Gotta accept that Minecraft itself is losing relevance.

 

Roblox is going to stay forever js

 

tbh I lost hope for CTF in like early 2016, I still play it sometimes, but the de-buff **** ruined it for me. Thank you CTF for having map requirements as well, you might say, "Ceyll you're going off-topic like a politician", but no I'll answer it with those words, because think of it this way; Ctf lost popular when their favorite maps got taken away and peoples favorite classes got extremely debuffed by these hippy Brawl owners to "Improve gameplay", but they really massively messed up. proudtotheninja was the best CTF player endorsed by Ceyll omg so much good (that was my old account deal with it.

 

1) Find a developer: I agree

2) I played for 4 years. From what I can tell some major "nerfs" were
Pyro instakill removed
Chemist XP Bar shortened
Engineer crafting table insta teleporter removed
Engineer's generator doesn't give you your items anymore
Soldier infinite wallclimb removed
Dwarf xp shortened
Medic sharpness I sword became a normal sword
Necro: I dunno wtf happened
Ninja 10 pearls and instant-invisibility (no silly whatever)

It's more fun for YOU as the op class. But to everyone else it's a horrible game.
You said "we converted to PVP gamemode", are you suggesting that we need more instakill classes? Because I have no idea how you're supposed to kill another player without pvping.

3) Add more classes. We don't need to make a new class every 2 months but since it's been about 3 years since the release of Elf. I do agree that we need a new class by now.

I think one problem is "us". The "experienced" players. We don't give new players a chance to play the game more because we just kill them easily. They give up after 5 games. They leave.

I have almost never seen new players holding a flag at their spawn, only experienced ones that are in teams. The new players have to get through mid, with those "experienced" archers and other players. They have to steal the flag from probably an op ninja/pyro/assassin defense. And they have to get back to their own flag. It's practically impossible for new players to cap.
