(Domipheus) #21

if kendle is considered balanced, then everybody can reply.

Also, its a forum, not a pm, so anyone can reply.

And, why the hell are u posting of the thread is for SD and kendle?

(CM..Punk) #22

I’m posting to annoy the OP. What’s your excuse?

(Salteh) #23

His excuse is that he knows that some/most of the Splash Damage peeps are on hols and will likely not reply soon :slight_smile:

(Domipheus) #24

or ever :wink:

(squadjot) #25

(Fusen) #26

lol seriously kendle is not a rtcw.co.uk’er if he was he would add that he is a pr0 and everyone else is shite in every post :wink:

Ooooh, we’re famous :moo: :banana: :moo:

I agree with kendle. XP, while ammusing, is inherently unbalancing, and in the long term, doesn’t add much to gameplay. I do actually have a mod in mind that would change this, without getting rid of all the cool upgrades…

To the OP, actually, a very long time ago, some one from splash did post almost exactly what you said. Along the lines of “we never intended to for XP to be the central goal of the game”. If you search long enough, I’m sure you’ll find it. However, your post makes the mistaken assumption that the average ET player reads here, and gives a rats ass what the splash devs say.

Damn, you’re no fun, all you can do is repeat an insult. At least try a little originality if accuracy escapes you.

I do, thanks.

Ah, I didn’t realise Mario Bros. was one of the most popular ONLINE MULTIPLAYER games of all time, or that “power-ups” are only power-ups if they only give you a temporary advantage over others, as opposed to a permanent advantage.

You seem to be missing the whole point of Multiplayer Domi, which is that you play against other people, real people, or varying skills. Anything that gives you an unfair, unearned, advantage over another player is simply wrong in my book. The whole point is to test your skills against other people, on a level playing field, not “beat the game”, or take shortcuts, power-ups or cheats to do so.

…

everybody should be given radeon 9800XT’s then free with every game.

…and you can hardly say that geting a flack jacket cos youve fragged xxx amount of peeps unearned.

Just as you cant say earning 20 points for blowing the objective unearned.

Sounds good to me.

(Domipheus) #32

we all wish :slight_smile:

Ironic isn’t it? The only hope of having a level playing field for a game like ET or RtCW would be to have it played on a console - why? 'cause everyone would have the same advantages / disadvantages - play it on a TV screen also with a default BB connection of 128Kb minimum connction and all cvars locked. Doesn’t seem like n00bsville in the land of ET these days - that’s a good thing in my little book :slight_smile:

I’m off camping for the weekend now - have a good Easter :slight_smile:

(Domipheus) #34

camping :smiley:

(evilsock) #35

And now I’m back - went to Glaisdale again - no rain, plenty of firewood and natural mountain rivers :slight_smile:

Someone is trying to replace the attention that he didn’t get as a child with attention from SD and Kendle. SD being DADDY and WELL we know where this is going. keep up the stoopid stuff …it’s sooooo funny.

GAMBIT; noun: Funny way for saying GOBSHITE.

create a mod. for getting xp for working with your fireteam…and stop crying …your tears are salting my beer.

We go on holiday for, like, A DAY and we return to a nest of writhing vipers.

Writhe, Vipers, Writhe!

Now, what was the original question? What are the objectives: Objectives, or XP?

Well of COURSE it’s the objectives. The XP system was intended to reward team-players for doing their class-specific jobs even if they were only in support of the bodies actually demolishing/escorting/stealing/polishing/watering the objective thingy. We tried our best to stop players from exploiting the XP system, or at least to persuade them that supporting their team-mates was a good thing to do. But we can’t play the game for them. The best and worst thing about online MP games is, of course, other players. And I’m not sure how much we can ever do about that.
The objective is, was, and remains, the Objectives. XP is pretty, but is the icing, not the cake. Which makes the medals the cherries. Or more, differently coloured icing.

Hope everyone had a good Easter :weird:

:moo:

As more people starts playing in clans, more people also stops looking at the xp.
