Interesting idea, not sure how we can implement it to the plans for the RTV upgrade since it kinda throws those plans out of whack a bit. Probably something to put into the server cvar settings for server owners to choose. Could be a nice option to have.

Like defiant said, it was not. CTF was started before tempest build did, and has been in progress longer as a result. Also it was Redsaurus, Spaghetti, and I that mainly worked on finishing up CTF stuff. Tempest is the only one that is currently working on his saber stuff. This entire thread...

This is basically all we can do, but haven't done a promotion push in a while as we want to get a few things done before we do a big promo push. The game and engine is just too old and there isn't much we can do about the networking situation to make it better on higher pings sadly.

It is just about to the point where final balance testing can begin. Which hopefully if there is enough dev time means itll be out in the next 6 months but who knows.

We won't be allowing timers that long regardless.

CTF timers are only configured via the .siege file of the level up to a max of 12 minutes. Its up to the level designer to choose a time limit that fits the level. There is no outside cvar for server owners.

Remember that our infrastructure contains things like the website, launcher backend, master server, gamestats servers, public stats server, etc. Our situation is unique cause it is just not the game server. Some of our protections are options available through cloudflare, which are not relevant...

This isn't new to us. We have been under sustained DDOS attacks that have gone on for long periods before. We can recover. Well part of the issue is that this is an active attack and things can change on the fly and need semi-active monitoring in case something changes and conditions may be...

The official servers including even our infrastructure (gamestats, website, etc) have been hit several times during this and from personal experience the official servers seemed much more playable and almost never fully went down during the attacks. There were some issues but that was also...

We cannot do anything about DDOS attacks on servers we do not own. That is up to the server owners and their providers.

If you were fighting HTD as the second post suggests. You were fighting one of the most experienced deka players in the game who has been playing quite a while. Deka is definitely pretty strong and will likely get some changes to deal with its sustainability, but also people really gotta learn...

What are you even on about? Most mod "packs" rarely update that frequently to begin with. The main MB2 has had updates every 3 ish weeks at the moment, with quite a bit of community made content added directly into the mod itself rather than as an outside pack. Most of the Vertex stuff is...

Except that MB2 already treats CTF differently from other games with CTF modes. Most other games with CTF modes have a consistent respawn timer if they have it at all, their classes are more or less balanced 1-1 rather than asymetrically especially with life count being a factor, often times...

Not entirely. CTF is designed around having people out of the game so that being able to thin an enemy teams numbers with a good push or defense, gives the other team an opportunity to capitalize while people are respawning (obviously not the only attack or defend avenue). If someone has more...

You should only have to update 2 menu files with this, and just change file paths.

Theres a revamp for the saber system coming soon. It will be Open Beta'd before it goes live, but hopefully all of that happens before the end of the year. Keep checking in if you want to give feedback for it. I 100% understand not enjoying the current system though, but that is why its getting...

This most likely will not be happening. Favors 1 life classes too much, and they still feel really strong right now. I'm leaning towards increasing it. Will be able to see dead teammates and possibly their respawn timer in a later update of the scoreboard. Would result in too little attack...

We cant do anything within the protected spawn areas, there is no way to get back in even if we wanted to. JKA doesn't have the ability to block 1 team but not the other collision wise.

Yeah something will probably be added for that. I just added the scoreboard in the semi-free week leading up to CTF release and wasn't able to add everything I wanted to it. There is going to be at least one more wave of improvements to it.
