Kit-limiting is A-OK

npsxbox · 12-13-2006, 03:59 AM

I haven't seen a forum like this, so what the hell.

I just wanted to let you developers know that kit-limiting is a stroke of genius. Pure-Genius I tell you! Man, it works wonders.

Not only does limit the the number of kits that would over be powered if there were too many of them out there, but it also stops one person to hog the kit. If you really want a kit, all you have to do is keep checking every once in a while to see how many are out there, and when its available, bam, you apply for it.

Anyway, yeah, hats off.

Experienced players actually appreciate the message spam at the top of the screen as that pesky sniper tries to immediately upon resurrection get the same kit again and is told it is "too soon" hahahahahaha!

please don't remove that message spam as it's one of the things that brightens our day.

hehe... true!

Id rather have individual requesting messages.
BUT, if the person is spamming, it should say something like:
"PERSON is retarded, kill on sight - by any means necessary" or something

When I was heavy AT and used my rockets, someone told me to rearm by requesting the same kit at a flag.

I did so and got told I was a "fool" by an auto message for requesting the same kit again, doh!

Yup, we thought of that sort of exploit already

We've been working on ways to message specific players... it's harder than you might think. Dice said they'd introduce player specific text messaging in one of the patches (1.3?). And they did. It just doesn't work.

Glad to hear you like it

I've been thinking about a way for people to value their life a bit more.

It's to put a number limit on each of the limited kits... if you don't understand I'll explain:

For example you want to be sniper, but you're really cr*p at sniper. You die, you spawn, and get the sniper kit again. Then you die, and spawn another time, and get the sniper kit for a third time.

But on the fourth try, you're not allowed anymore, because you die too much with it. This would stay that way for the rest of the round. That way players would value, not their life, but their kit. They wouldn't want anyone to steal their kit.

Maybe this could use a little bit of improvement, but I hope you get the idea.
