Changes to CTF - My Opinion

inb4 ur getting called out for tryharding

On a serious note though, I like the scoreboard HUD. The chat tended to bug around, looking as if I was scrolling through it in high speed. This doesn't happen with the scoreboard. The new HUD also doesn't get screwed up by a different chat width.

 

ye the sidebar is pretty ridiculous but i think the main problem is the banners (which, for the record, i wouldn't even mind if they behaved more like the old flags)

also hie kirby!!!!

 

I really like the old CTF

 

As far as I know, you couldn't scroll up the chat because of the information display in chat. This can be very annoying if you weren't able to reply to a message instantly or any other occassion where you need to look at a bit older message.

The scoreboard being more ugly than a chat display is opinionated, I personally always preferred Scoreboards.

It is also easily possible to keep track of both, scoreboard and chat. You will for sure get used to that soon.

Once more, a banner being more ugly than a fence post with wool above it is your personal opinion. If Minecraft provides a banner/flag already, why not use it rather than creating one with plugins?

There are still some issues with the banner as flag, but CTF is still in Beta and they will be fixed soon.

 

If you guys are trying to keep this as similar to MCPVP as possible, here are the things you need to add.
-Larger hitbox (You can jump through banners, whereas flagposts were solid objects which you could lean against to steal the flag. In very crowded flagrooms, it is near impossible to steal the flag since you are hit through it without being able to pick it up)
-You need the banners to not block right click actions (Potions / Enderpearls / Arrows / Eggs / Blocking)
-You need to have the flag be able to be picked up as an item, seeing as I have now had many experiences where I could not recover a flag on the stairs since it kept bouncing everywhere and would not go solid. I then died before the flag dropped to the bottom and someone else picked it up. This glitch used to happen with our flags, but at least you could recover them)
Although the banners were added for "aesthetic reasons", I believe that they just make gameplay harder in a bad way. I understand that CTF is still in beta, but I'm unsure if all of these can be fixed. No, this post is not some MCPVP regular who is just angry because nostalgia. Should banners at least be fixed so they follow these things, then I would be fine with them (I also appreciate all the coders with their hard work, so in no way am I trying to hate on them). It should always be gameplay > aesthetics, and although I do like CTF as a defense oriented game, the challenge should be getting in and out of the flagroom alive with the flag, not stealing the flag. Just my 2 cents on the situation.

you know what, as for someone who has played ctf since nearly the beginning i've only got this to say. CTF is still in beta on brawl, so quit being so butt hurt and get used to it. You know what i wish players could travel in ctf with a pack of dogs as a class, but you don't see me whining about it just because they won't add it.

As to brawl, having to wait a little before getting the flag was a really good idea, it slowed down the game time that way people can actually play. the hud, also a good idea because i usually have chat turned off, so i dont have to listen to spam trolling and newbs(for some reason i still have it on). Oh and I know nom said he had a command that temp fixed the message on the screen, but it broke. Thank you for having to put up with ppl like me and the people above. Good luck with ctf. I'll be watching.

 

It was more intended torwards kirby, it can go all around. It depends on how you give and how much you give the feed back that is what i considered whining. The dog thing was a mere example I could care less. As for the time limit, yes I enjoy the 20 minutes when it happens but it usually never does because it was too easy for ninjas and soldiers to get the flag. What should have been 20 minutes was then reduced 5 minutes and a slight shaking of the head. It used to happen all the time on mcpvp and I know because I'm one of the ones guarding the flag. Right now, I'm actually am enjoying ctf a little more because its actually a game now. You actually have to work at it to get something done. I am constantly hearing a lot of this "feedback" on teamspeak. Also, I'm getting my ass kicked by people who can actually pvp and i'm enjoying every minute of it.
