ND Suggestions & Complaints

[Magda]

As i said on discord, if you are planning to add maps, please add only small-medium maps, since the few times we play we are usually 4v4 or something.
Agree on wj thingy, allow it more , especially in some maps.
Give level 5 from start to everyone, more funny for random players and also people will stop writing on shoutbox about it.
Ammo for me are fine, 30/30 is enough to kill 3-4 enemies easily ( if have at least a basic aim).



But more important, add more players, even if impossible.

Ideas from Strax that were discussed in #support:
- Fix the ETLegacy filesystem character incompatibility by renaming the twc menu from ~~~~~~~~~~~~~twc_menu.pk3 to something like zzzzzzz_twc_menu.pk3
- Let all new players start with level 5 skills on all roles (tryhards can !resetmyxp)
- Change medic ammo to start from 30/60 instead of 30/30
- Discuss the possibility of removing no wj rules
- ADD MOAR MAPS, for example: Caen

Ok to clarify for some that do not use discord (boomers - sorry not sorry >D)

1. Fix ET legacy
I think this is self explanatory. A lot of ppl these days use ET Legacy for various reasons (better performance, up to date, security reasons, etc.). It would boost the accessibility of our server which is a no brainer if you ask me.

2. All skill levels 5 by default
When people lose their et key, they lose their xp. When new players join they have no xp. Because of that, they have to grind for some levels because it literally gives the advantage (stamina, accuracy, ammo, etc.) I think it should be lvl 5 by default so those players can "plug-and-play". Basically they don't have to worry about playing x class because they want y perk. Also important part is, that if a player want to go through the grind, they are free to do !resetmyxp, if that's what enjoy. That way it's a win-win for everyone. Perhaps set it as a message when a player joins to let them know of the option.

3. Change (medic?) ammo from 30/30 to 30/60
So for the record, I don't know if engineers and other classes also start with only 1 spare mag in their thompson/mp40. I suggested this solely because it's annoying and you need to look for ammunition all the time. I would add in more but I guess y'all hate rambo medics D< (rambo medic lives also matter xd)

4. Removing WJ rules
I think no WJ is kinda boring because for me ET is all about fast paced shooting. By removing the ability to WJ it feels like you take away a lot of it's fast-paced nature. That's why I'd like to remove WJ rule or at least make fine adjustments (the map that most annoyed me was supply because as allies it's really boring to just wait till you blow a hole). It also makes the game much more dynamic because you have more routes to attack or surprise attackers.

5. More maps
"NO DOWNLOAD" is a meme. We need more maps that are popular, we could add map cycles to spice things a little (weekly or fortnightly?)

Overall the whole reason I'm writing this is, because ET community has a huge hole in the server infrastructure. At the moment, there's literally no vanilla JayMod server that is active in EU and for (to me unknown) reason players are really active on FA JayMod server that is very similar to ND. So if we are able to get the settings right (basically what the majority enjoys) we could have a pretty solid playerbase in no time, because I'm sure that players would prefer to play on EU server rather than US with 130 ping or more.

Big downvote on School and Venice, bad maps

I personally don't care that much about the medic ammo thing, I think Strax wants it cuz he can't hit many shots

I do think that lvl 5 from the start should help new players get in on the action. This was also Starx's point when he originally suggested it.

Wj allowed could be both fun and frustrating at the same time, would make maps like supply more fun, but maps like fuel dump absolute trash...

Maybe also Bremen? Braundorf is in the cycle right, but Bremen isn't?

Bremen_final and braundorf_b4 are already in the mapcycle.

point 1: it doesnt matter for me
point 2: useless, you get all lvl 5 skills so fast, why it needed
point 3: medics are already overpowered, why more? xD
point 4: +1, i think we should remove it


More maps will be def. nice!
Caen (2)
School
Venice NE 4

- for example


Greetz

Adding Caen2, Venice aswell as tc_base. School is too large for NoDownloads popularity atm.

feel free to request more / other maps

- Zone tried the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~twc_menu.pk3 to zzzzzzz_twc_menu.pk3 and it didn't solve the issue, we're looking into it.

- Looking into level 5 skills on all roles, will impliment it later

- Medic ammo will stay at 30/30 for now. Played with Strax and others, 30/30 is plenty of ammo to get a few kills and switch weapons from dead enemies or get to ammo cabinets

- WJ rules will stay as they are currently. You can still spawn kill just fine without WJing and do objs etc

- More maps on the way, so far will be adding:

Caen2.pk3
Venice.pk3
tc_base.pk3
