class display idea is very cool @Nohox

edit: first part only though, limits would be too much of a pain for newbies

 

Since we're 1.8 I don't think we can use elytra wings.

 

I like your suggestions on archer.
Definitily think it should be implemented, although i think 1 stack of arrows is not enough. Give it 1 1/2 stack instead.

And for the spawn sniping -
You’re not spawn camping if they’re 15 blocks away from their own spawn.
I’d say that if you hit a person 5 blocks away from their spawn they’ll just not be killed. This goes for every class.

Your class suggestion -
As creeperflame stated, most people on here use the 1.8 version, and elytra isn’t useable playing with this version.
therefore it would be pointless adding it.
although i like your idea lol

And i couldn’t completely understand what you meant about the class display thingy.

other than that, i agree with you on everything else. especially that carrier kills should be a part of the stats.

 

If this would only apply to archer and anyone else can kill people 5 blocks away from spawn, that would be unfair and a huge disadvantage to archer, especially during stalemates if someone can just go there. It also will be dumb to make this area act as spawn blocks for archer though because it map was builded for this part to be part of. But if you mean that everyone won't be able to kill people 5 blocks from spawn that is a different discussion for spawn protection.

About the class display idea:
First the limits will need to changed depending on how many people are on the server, because 10 assassin limit in a 10v10 is pointless for limit to be there (unless other team is troll or something). Second, matches and PPMs for ctf use this, it called class limitations, and so if casual ctf also will has this that bring competitive and casual a little more together, and since there is people who want a bigger line inside casual and competitive they probably not will like this. I think it can work though, just with a few stuff decided before it is added.

About the idea where everyone's class is displayed though, I think so. On a big game I can see how you see that there is 10 pyro's on other team so I will play medic, but in a smaller game it kind of make it harder to defense because half the times people switch classes a lot and at start of games you never know what other team will have. Also, if a ninja is invis and so you no see a ninja for other team, that is a little misleading because if there is 2 ninjas and both they are invis you might go chemist and just die. -1 for this but I can see the other idea for class limits working in big games. Thanks for the ideas

 

pretty sure this is what he means lul

 

Then imo use this for any discussion of spawn protection https://www.brawl.com/threads/72784/

 

the OP talks about spawn protection in this thread lol. he doesn't need to move to a separate thread for this

 

I agree with @DeadRhos on the class display, shouldn't be too hard to get going. I'm against a cap however: The old McPvP gun gamemode Headshot had a cap on classes as well, and the good classes were taken immediately once the game started, which kinda sucked for everyone else (but yes, it would make balancing the game easier). And people grind hard for classes with credits, so why restrict them from playing it?

I like the idea of gliding over maps with an elytra, it's a cool function of vanilla minecraft and could be integrated into the game. We're still on 1.8.9 though, so no elytra available yet. Also we'd have to try and fit it into a role, like defensive, offense, support etc, but we'll get to that once the elytra is available.

I can't say much to Archer, as I'm biased because I main it myself. To me it feels like if archer is nerfed by having to pull back the bow completely, or get less arrows, it will not really fix the annoying thing about archer (being sniped out of thin air). Players will still be able to hold back people in close combat if they have to pull back the bow completely. So other players will demand another nerf. Archer was nerfed in that regard already, as it had Knockback II before (now Knockback I).

About spawn protection, yeah read the thread linked above, I posted something in it as well. CTF already has spawn protection, but it seems to only work halfway the way it is indended to. I think it counts down the protection from the moment you respawn, so if you take longer than 2.5 seconds to leave spawn as it has now, you can be spawn killed anyway. Perhaps it needs to count the time after leaving the spawnblock.

 

A good way to fix bow spam is to simply use ur sword to combat with whomever you're fighting.

This is a very good idea. However, i feel as though the fault for that would also be the way spawn was built on the map. Perhaps there should be a rule or regulation to maps on how spawn should be built or positioned. Though this is also a very good idea. have an indication that the arrow couldn't go there due to it being too close to spawn or something of the sort.
