    Hi:smile:,

    As many of the "old" Capture The Flag players may already know, the dealy when picking up/recovering the flag
    was no that big in the "old" CTF.:frowning:

    Many defence players are annoyed :mad: by the fact that it takes ages until the flag gets recovered. Now it is very hard to recover as a low armoured class, because ninja/assassin get killed so quickly, and there is not enough time to stand on the banner until it gets restored.


    Also when picking up the flag to capture it, it takes ages until the banner is stored in the inventory.
    Particulary as a capping ninja it is very hard to steal the flag now, as you have to stay even longer at the post, until you can pearl away/escape.

    Many players would like this delay to be removed!

    Please post you opionions on this down below.

    Regards,

    Chris

    I don't see any problem with shortening the wait time a little :smile:

    Pickup time should always be .5 seconds, except for recovs (instant) and ninja steals (1.5 seconds). Is that not how it's working now?

    Personally, I think pickup should be instant if the flag is dropped using the drop button.

    I've noticed that it takes longer to recover. Also, ninjas can pick up the enemy's flag instantly if it has been dropped by a flag carrier, meaning it makes recovery even harder.

    I sort of understand wanting to remove the delay for recovering, but for capping? Very bad idea. Makes offense much easier, and defense much harder. Also, let's not forget ghost caps. The game could get messy without a flag pickup timer :stuck_out_tongue:
    Like i said, I know what you mean for recovery. However, having a delay on recovery has its perks too. If you consider trying to pass a flag to a teammate and an invis ninja pops up to instantly recover the flag in the brief second it is on the ground, you may understand that a little. ^^

    It's not the fact the flag takes ages to recover it can be recovered instantly, the thing is it has to be in block form to pick it up however if they make it so you can pick it up even if it is still an entity you will be able to recover like the old CTF i guess


    Edit: The only thing with a timer break is the flag being picked up when dropped (Not from flag post)
