Idea Starting New (Class-wise)

Agree totally. I'd hate to see CTF end up like HG, with gameplay revolving around PVP and kits being an afterthought.

Previously there was a lot of class variety, and everything had a unique - and somewhat OP - aspect to it: infinite wallclimb, Pyro instakill, 414, pot PVP, insanely powerful mobs, dwarf snowball, Assassin with a usable amount of redstone and sugar... even Fashionista could craft diamond armour.

Today, in an effort to be fair, everything involves a certain amount of PVP. And I guess the goal's been fulfilled because everything plays the ****ing same. I have most success with heavy these days, and I hate PVP - which is why you never see me on anymore.

It's just a shame. Balance should come from classes that complement each other, not by removing everything that makes them unique.

 

The more classes are nerfed, the more reliant the game becomes on pvp in an attempt to "balance" the game. It went from a game that was unique and interesting with a vibrant community, and slowly drained it away. If the idea to balance classes is to nerf them, then why even have unique abilities at all? Just be like every other server and give everyone the same class. Boom balanced perfectly. I'd like to see a few days, or weeks where they just test new interesting ideas (Preferably buffs), new classes, and collect feedback on what people think on the changes.

I know the direct point of the thread is not class balancing, but I think it should be brought up. I know people complain about this class is still a counter to this or this class is too overpowered. Classes are supposed to counter each other, that's how the game should be balanced not by focusing more and more on pvp. TL;DR Whoever mods read this can y'all try take a week or a few days where you just try out interesting mechanics for all classes and new classes? (buffs please it's more fun that way)

My idea to balance classes was to give it a buff and a nerf, in order to even out issues within the ctf community. I would hate to see it revolve entirely around pvp skills, instead of teamwork.

 

We'd have to buff every class but at this stage I think it would be worth it

 

This would help people like me who can't pvp for **** so I say yes please buff stuff to OP levels again. The reason why I enjoy maps like Blackout and Bazaar is because they're absolutely chaotic, if you do the same with not just maps but classes too then mmm yes

 

Last time i thought about this it was a GOOD IDEA, and it still is.
I like being able to find new ways to play a certain class, at the moment everything has been milked out. its so bad that i try to play archer by shooting over buildings in a curve instead of a straight line just to make it more interesting for me
(and ofcourse because I cant get in a straight line with the carrier (insert no support meme here))
(replace archer with a mortar class btw)
I have the best ideas ;D

Im in for new mechanics
Here is where the Ram class comes in lads cmon!!!!!!!!
and lets not have classes that are not needed

throwback to when chemist was op as **** and no one played it
no buffs for anyone
LET ME place a cake on top of my TURRET
get outsmarted by a torch hanging on the wall
blocking an assassin as dwarf before blocking was a thing because u thought it would block damage
got juked
lost 17 levels and the game by just standing still thinking I was smart
cried 3 hours straight
place 600 spawners and hide in spawn
use assassinate and die from flagpoison
climbing under Lighthouse from flagroom to flagroom as soldier
stealing flags through the wall
Airlock iron door spawn
no more backflipping over walls
big building with a hat
throwing away the boots
poop cauldron
hole in my door
stone bricks
