Why I gave up on CTF

aww I wish you could come back xplo

 

Still waiting for Wave X at the least bit.

 

well bye

 

atm there is a bug on build so you can get as many maps as you like for free. also funnily enough we played ur shattered rift remake in an old map event yesterday

 

Ngl, you're Shattered Rift remake is sexy af

 

Evolve is amazing how are u level 32?!??!?

 

Xplosion 'give up' post # i'unno.

 

Xplo... I still don't know why you are here/the point of this post.

You've quit like six times.

Mcpvp could've just completely died and not have a new place for us to go. Most of us are thankful to have a place to still hang out with our friends on.

Server integration is a pain because of how the Brawl system works, I'm sure if you took the time to read updates that you'd read all of the things that had to be done. Nom has worked his tail off.

Of all people BBH may be the worst person to ask about the downfall of the old server. He is gone and we all know how that went down.

Stats are being integrated, but there are compatibility issues with Brawl. Nom posted about this. If it was as easy as copy and paste it would've been done a long time ago.

Mcpvp died due to lack of income. The new build map policy is to encourage donating so the server doesn't die like mcpvp. There is also going to be an earnable trusted rank that allows more maps, you're not the only person with 30+.

I would've liked to accept this as just a friendly "oh-hey-this-is-what-i've-been-up-to" post, but there is too much complaining and lack of caring enough to get information for me to not get irritated.

 

Dude, you need Jesus.

 

Well... once Creative merges with Build, you will be able to save your builds as schematics so you just have to wait for that. The coders are all busy coding other things, but Nom is coding CTF right now, he's the same coder you've had back in McPvP so I don't know why you're complaining about delayed updates, it would probably be the same in McPvP. After CTF and HG are out of Beta you will get your stats back and your statistics will be recorded, all of your data is being kept and don't worry about that, the reason they can't keep track of your stats in Beta is because there are glitches and people can take advantage of these glitches to get lots of kills or win lots of games. Once these glitches are fixed and the game is somewhat balanced the stats will come back. At least you can play CTF, are playing CTF for fun or just for the stats? (well I play for both, but I'm waiting for stats to come out as well, mostly to join a team...)

 

Therein lies the problems of brawl's ctf. Brawl simply doesn't care about the quality besides siphoning off money from it.
Like, seriously, it took like what, two months to put in an anti-hacker system that looks like no time was spent into it at all? not that im not grateful for it but still if it was that bad might as well put the old one in first

 

Xplosion's next quitting post:
Why I bothered writing "Why I gave up on CTF"

 

Woah, Xplo, long time no see.
Glad you tranfered with us.

Honestly, I agree with your points... Especially the what ctf meant to mcpvpers one.

I still didn't give up on CTF, quite simply because I love the game and I still have fun with what am I doing. There are some awesome people I met.

Hopefully you'll come and see us on the server sometimes

 

Agreed. But Brawl is worse IMO: Why?
They think that can do whatever the heck that want to CTF and expect people to like it.
"We listen to the community" - Lord_Roke
I am sorry, but that's the furthest thing from the truth.
1. CTF has not gotten ANY gameplay changes since the transfer. I understand it's beta, but there is no ETA on releasing full CTF. And the community WANTS these changes.
2. We want transparency. And nobody on this severer, pre or post transfer has EVER gotten an ETA for anything meaningful.
3. You blatantly go against what the community wants so it seems like you're updating the game. What am I talking about? Banners. Yes, I'm still quite sore about that issue.
- They look VERY derpy.
- They remove your helmet
- There is no reason for them to be there:
--Mc-war has wool on a post and wool founts out of their heads. You say that it makes the player more obvious, well, I disagree. In War, there are no compass to track the player and it's a wool fountain and people seem to have 0 problem recovering even at extremely long ranges.
--I don't care if they're a 1.8 feature, we're not using the Alex skin as our flag and we're not changing coal ore to granite.
-Wool wasn't broken. why did you put coding time into something that didn't need to be added, when you could've been fixing bugs and getting us out of beta faster so we could have the class changes we need instead of adding more bugs.
And I still don't understand the attitude of some Brawlers, from telling McPvPers to "suck up and deal with change"
Some people have transitioned quite nicely, and to those people, both Brawl (good example would be @Chopoo) and McPvP, kudos. But plenty haven't, and I think it creates a somewhat toxic environment.
Also, I'd like to touch on one last concern:
Brawl staff seems like the're trying to change CTF without even knowing the gamemode. It takes a while to lean the intricacies of class balancing. It's not easy. So to those on staff who don't have experience with CTF (talking to higher-ups here) please learn how the game works before you make any major decisions.

I needed to get that out of my system.

Hope this works out. I'm still dissatisfied though.

 

You can always just wait in the shadows for CTF to get better, and play other games. Sorry to hear you feel that way about the game.

 

Lmao this guy is like the darswag of mcpvp.

 

The new Anti Cheat Plugin is kNoHax 2, coded by the same developer as kNoHax 1. We are sorry for all the false autobans, but they only happened because the plugin was put on HG and CTF before it was adjusted for these servers. The Anti Cheat plugin barely banned anyone falsely on KitBrawl, because KitBrawl is vanilla PvP and the plugin standard was designed for vanilla PvP.

That is absolutely wrong. @NomNuggetNom is always working on making the changes the community wants to see and usually talks to CTF staff members before he changes anything important. Please don't bring up banners again, that was supposed to be a simple cosmetic change so nobody expected the community to make such a big deal about it.

Please don't quote out of context what I say. This statement was about one specific topic, the decision to keep or remove instakills.

The community could decide whether they want to keep or remove insta-kills. If they voted for removing them, that would have been done, but they voted for keeping them with a huge majority so everything is still the same. Please don't complain that we do not change anything major if we let you decide it and you didn't want us to.

We do not release any official release dates for any server anymore due to out past experiences. It is hard to tell when a certain coding project is finished because you might always encounter a serious bug or other problems. Whenever we announce a release date and don't manage to hold it, the community is even more disappointed so we won't.

Once more, banners were considered to be nothing but a cosmetic change. And we did listen to the community later on as the banner was put on a fence post to make it possible to use some special tactics. Dropping and picking up the banner is being worked on and the removed helmet just makes it a bit more challenging to capture a flag, it is not a game breaking problem.
On the one hand you ask for updates, on the other hand you complain when we update something.

The developer in charge of CTF is Nom. He makes and codes changes, he codes bug fixes. Other higher staff members might suggest some changes but in the end it will always be Nom who adds them. I doubt you consider Nom as someone who is not used to CTF.

 

I'm pretty sure that's the whole point. You guys shouldn't only listen to the community regarding one specific issue. What does that achieve at all?
