Title: Remove the FOTHERMUCKIN base intrusion announce
Post by: Marcell on August 14, 2011, 06:07:06 pm
DELETE THE MOTHERFUCKING ANNOUNCMENT ABOUT SOMEONE ATTACKING THE BASE!!!

God! In first Vice War I disliked how you could just pickup the base pickup in 0,1 seconds and get killed far away from enemy's base so you still gain like 3 points, but now? The 3 seconds-delay while standing in the ring was enough, was there really a need to add the giant-ass-chat announcments about someone attacking blue/red base? Stealth is very important for such an event, and if blues are dumb enough (im not saying they are, just giving an example, it could be red instead of blues too) to not care about their pickup, someone should be able to stealthily snatch it without even alerting the enemies, unless they see him in the pickup marker. I don't see why script (announcment about someone attacking the base) should be doing player's job (patrol around the base)

Would certainly help the massive spam when more than 1 nab tried to pick the pickup :D

yeah, if we were using multiple bases like axxo suggested, this announcement along with some more time to capture would be necessary, but as it is it's just spammy and never really helped with anything

I can fix the 2 person standing in a pickup at a time bug for next time. Personally I found the alerts massively helpful, when I was defending and wasn't around the pickup I knew when to rush back.

lol yeh, this is like the trumpet alert in AoE when someone attacks, or something like this in any other RTS game.

That's why I personally didn't like it, it aided the defenders too much. A good defense team should make sure to have some people watching the pickup who can then alert their teammates if help is necessary.

I meant to say that all the reds were going for the cp all at once, causing the chat to spam all kinds of red players having possession of the 3 sec flag wait, really annoying. I lol'd because some of the reds were fighting each other for it, you know team roughousing.

I spectated one guy on red who was knocking down a teammate with his stubby just to get the pickup. :thumbsdown:
