Good game on Quarry

(Runeforce) #1

We had a really exciting match yesterday on the Villa server. What you can’t hear in the demo, is all the team communication going on. And very typical, I guess we were exhausted after that match, lost the next two maps in less than 6 mins each :slight_smile:

With a defense that knows what they are doing this map isn’t half bad but is still ruined by the Icarus diving.

I had a solution for this map back in the private beta that would have solved that problem but was never took up, was too late then I guess, what I proposed was that instead of the ship just having one room was to have a slightly larger ship and then have the overloader thing in another chamber so you couldn’t just simply jump in and capture the cells.

Alternatively, make it a 1-second ‘transfer’ to put it in.

Yes, anything other then objective, or player carrying the objective, just touching the…thing

Back in the day, we outlawed Icarus and Tormentor diving on Quarry and ruled it with an iron fist. Had many good games, as a result.

The problem should have been fixed, though.

Never really enjoyed it too much. I usually just stick to soldier with a rocket and defend.

We need official maps! :slight_smile:

another idea as I remember was to turn ship around 180 degrees.

(light_sh4v0r) #8

With the entrance buried in the mountain, now that would make defending a little easier xD

(Kl3ppy) #9

Then the attackers will cry: **** Map! xD

(Slade05) #10

Then 90 will do it!
Another idea was to clutter final obj approach, make some turns and stuff to let engies plant mines more effectively.

That’s pretty much my suggestion. :slight_smile:

Not sure how the transmit suggestion would work out, guess it could work, be easiest one to do.

(Slade05) #12

Transmit variant should be the easiest to implement, as it only requires some scripting.
I kinda wonder why SD did not implement…

And Container City is the new Quarry? In every game there should be a challenging map? :stuck_out_tongue:

I have also a idea: turn the ship upside down so you need to jump to deliver instead of diving :smiley:

(.Chris.) #14

Thinking about it, it should be possible to add in through an edited map script and a .entities hack but it wouldn’t work on ranked servers so would be pointless.

(DrFunkenstein) #15

I really wish they would have made delivering the cells a transmission objective. Perhaps the number of cells should be cut down to one or two, but it would definitely improve the chances of GDF winning this map.

Northern Europe is the worst campaign in this game, Quarry and Ark are really bad maps, I wish we could ditch them on a ranked server but we can’t :frowning: .

You can do the right thing and ditch ranked servers then you could have your own campains :slight_smile:

If all the popular servers suddenly went unranked would you reckon players would stop playing there or? Open question.

(Slade05) #17

I doubt ranking matters to anybody by now.
And Ark is not so bad, it`s beautiful at least.

(.Chris.) #18

I reckon it does, I’ve still yet to see a populated unranked server, during week days, although to be honest its been long time since I looked :slight_smile:

(DrFunkenstein) #19

The sad thing is that “ranked” still matters, even after almost 4 years.

We have more then 18 players on average on our server, but I have no doubt that it would drop to nearly zero if we went unranked. There’s a steady influx of new players (more then 15.000 different players joined our server since December 2009 and that’s based on PB guid, smurfs are excluded) but I highly doubt any of the new ones tried an unranked server.

Seems like there are only bad choices with this game.

Wouldn’t they shutdown the “login servers” when nobody pays for the ranked servers?

I think the reason why ppl want to play on ranked ones is because it’s the original and official game (maps/settings).
Maybe someone who never play on promod or custom maps can explain why they don’t try/play it :confused:
