Please don't take this offensively Zero, but I think you should really check out the WCS server at Cegamers, because they have a balanced system that actually rewards effort, and a truly functioning team balancing system. The WCS server here would really become so much better if you are able to program a similar team balancing system as that one. And just to reiterate that I only play on the WCS server here, so my only intent is hoping that our WCS server becomes better.
i have played on the CEGamers server to basically study the oponents there...
their player base is bad.
their races are all overpowered races with no possible cyclical balance. Many races are inheritely the best races in the server and can ONLY be killed by a person on the same race with a higher skill cap,
i believe they offer to code a race for cash.
most importantly:
their menu system is HORRENDUS ... absolutely fucking horrible! Zero's put a lot of work into the chat AND menu-select based item system in the game, and it really makes it less overwhelming to scroll through menus.
NOW.
the ONLY , and i god i mean ONLY thing that CEGamers has that we don't have better?
The fucking !scramble command to have PLAYERS THEMSELVES vote on scramblind the teams when they aren't having fun, whether you are on the winning side or losing side. This effectively lets almost everyone play the map on both sides instead of the current "T Stackers" we constantly see here.
And after 4 rounds of the same team winning over and over again, it scrambles the players automatically.
Zero, i know u are against forcing players to different sides unwillingly... but man, this needs to at least be a feature that can be voted on like RTV or !scramble command... just because stacking and racewhoring is an absolute problem!
===========
As for your tactical ability against racewhores, i fucking LOVE IT!
in fact i will start working on a race that embodies that logic, and i know just the theme! "Thank you for your... contributions"
Ah a ~! based command I like! this is much better than having an actual vote window popup which is a big problem on wcs b/c it disrupts gameplay. I never thought to make it like an rtv command but without a window vote coming up. Just if enough people enter that command it triggers that mode till the end of the map.
I will look into programing something like this as soon as I am back in the USA.![]()
Just have to make sure that the votes required to do a scramble is more than just the people on 1 team, cause that could get abused pretty easy, like maybe 70% or so of the server population, less steamtv
I hit Brett right in the feels.
