My observation and suggestions:

So, with the beta of Hardcore Games, I have noticed some small things that I think could be improved on. First, the servers themselves appear to be on a rather odd timer, where some appear to be in action with 0/0 players in lobby, and other resetting while still in game. I know this is to be expected, and is quite possibly intentional. I just wanted to bring it to attention if it's not. Secondly, I think it would be pretty cool to enable the selected Kit in the pre-game pvp pit. The little warm up area seems pretty stale with players relentlessly beating each-others faces in with swords and healing non stop. This isn't to say the warm-up battle isn't fun as it is, I just think it could be more fun if we could use our selected kits in the battle field as well as in the pregame pvp. Third, I have noticed a lot of hacking on the server in general, especially in the Brawl game and Hardcore games. I know it's hard to find hackers, and using systems like NCP and what not only work so well, but perhaps some new interest could be put into stopping hackers. I know the /report system works very well, I have used it a lot and it is always responded to with a staff member to solve the issue. These are just some suggestions I had, other than that, the game is super fun and I hope to see more people joining in to play . Since traffic is pretty low in the HC games, perhaps it might not be a bad idea upon release of the non-beta/full version of the game mode to host a tourney or a big game and give away idk maybe 6 months of VIP to the winner and 1 month of VIP to runners up. Something like that to get people into the game. Keep up the good work guys!

 

You know, that's a really good point about people forgetting to change. The other points had me thinking it's more labor side, but for sure this is the kicker. And yeah, the big roll out event would be a strong idea. Back when I worked with savage realms, we would organize big events anytime we introduced a new anything. Let me know if you ever need anything, I am always around to help out.
