    How to improve duel mode 2017

    There's something along these lines under development. Currently kind of on hold as I believe Tempest is busy elsewhere. Can't make any promises as a result, but I do hope we can get something like this put together.

    Thinking of coming back - just one question...

    I've seen things like this over and over again here. One of my favorite shitstorms (albeit largely internal, it waged for weeks) was when I infracted a dev for posting a gif of an owl being kicked dead by a footballer. This wasn't my first rodeo. Shit like this happens from time to time. I...

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    This is definitely the best assuming everything fits. Perhaps even adding a dynamic for the scoreboard that it highlights players with high ratings. An "On Fire" indicator of sorts. As long as it is handled right, yes. It would require a lot of refactoring to make it optimal though. Basically...

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    Last to deal damage takes precedence if no knockdowns are in play during death. It's a tricky road to tread indeed. With the system we currently have in play, technically a good player will be topping the scoreboard instantly. That is its strength. Its weakness is that it devalues time spent on...

    Sounds about right :D

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    Good points. The fact that it's listed in such a complicated fashion is kind of awkward. The scoreboard is technically doing the sorting for you already as it will calculate people's score/round and order them based on that. Perhaps instead of having scores and rounds listed like they are now...

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    First post and poll updated with the adjustments. The K/D's role as the player efficiency meter would diminish while score would be propped up more as the go-to for player success measurement. K/D would largely serve as satisfaction more than anything. Score is already the superior mechanic as...

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    I think a general good spec is roughly this: All kills are equal: kills count as +1 kill Death repurposed to Defeat: losing your last life counts as a +1 Defeat Add better indicators for score earning: You killed Padawan (+12) (console feed only) After this would be implemented, further...

    Precisely.

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    I would keep any +50 points etc thing optional (on by default as this will help new players adopt the concepts) and as low key as possible. I'm lazy so in favor of removing and altering as little as possible. My key interest in all this is logic and making the game feel as rewarding to play as...

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    Remember that killing a soldier as a soldier will give you a kill. If you're not racking up a kill per life as a sold, you're not a good sold. To me this (minus proximity tracking) sounds like the most realistic change that doesn't entail a total revamp and months of development and iteration...

    Kills, Deaths and Score

    Hey guys! I'm currently feeling very revolutionary and radical, so bear with me here. One thing that I've come to notice with MB2 from time to time is that we've looked at this game with blinds on for so long that we've made some really wonky decisions and solutions. One of my favorite pet...

    Purple lightsabers for sith?

    We want to keep the fights as readable as we can. This is largely why we've elected to keep the sith lightsaber colours restricted within shades of red. Seeing one Anakin Skywalker with a purple lightsaber and another Anakin Skywalker with a purple lightsaber and having to guess which team each...

    The Wrist Laser is Rather Silly

    The stagger sounds the coolest to me. The only thing I don't like about the idea is that it's once more something very specific that'll only be really handy vs Jedi. What would make wristlaser something you can whip out even against gunners. Perhaps create an interesting interaction with...

    The Wrist Laser is Rather Silly

    This sounds like a fun mechanic, albeit in that case I would restrict the ammo to a set amount. The only critique on this I'd have is that it's hard to telegraph to the Jedi so he can evade accordingly. Still it could be just fine without any adjustments. Clone blobs are much more volatile and...

    Thinking of coming back - just one question...

    4chan? r/imgoingtohellforthis? Personally I think it's okay that we censor out people posting "memes" that have pictures of the actual recently deceased from Las Vegas. I think people need to show some respect for the victims and their families. Off-topic section is more lax as always, but...

    Thinking of coming back - just one question...

    As Subaru stated, there's no scheme at play here. We saw a lot of racism as well as very crude jokes of fresh terror attacks. This essentially served as a wake-up call that the moderation had become lacking. People tend to throw hissy fits if their content is removed even if it goes against the...

    Hello

    Dunno, it's like 10 years old :D Episode 3 existed. It disappeared due to two reasons. Imageshack becoming a dick and my hard drive blowing up. I think I might do ep7 eventually. I actually have the screencaps done 65% ;)
