Bystry Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Why would even a grown-up human being want to collect XP on a server? Sounds like a kids' thing. The only thing that one should collect is skills throughout the campaign, but that's kind of out of question on our server, because you start with all skills at level 4. On top of that, now you can work on your Skill Rating, which is a better indicator of your "skill" than XP.

The only way was to give them all the levels and the server got more poplar. Its very hard in one map to get skills/level and people have different skills, i think if we remove these now we would do more harm to the server then good. We can tweak the setting but i don't think we would remove the levels. Populating the server is the answer. Our serwer is full. 10 hours ago, Bystry said: Why would even a grown-up human being want to collect XP on a server? Sounds like a kids' thing.

On top of that, now you can work on your Skill Rating, which is a better indicator of your "skill" than XP. Despite the objectives game, people like to check the statistics which are best for them. Good aimers are checking for their accuracy, some players hunting for best engi/medic/fieldop award etc. For some of them it's just XP. It's normal. SR depends on winning the maps. What about players switching the teams few times in a row or just joining to the weaker one trying to keep them ballanced? Is their skill are lower? Not at all, but their Skill Rating is lower for sure. In the past i used to play with campaign xp save (Cyber mentioned about it) and kinda liked it. After all, I would not make such big changes. All I want to say is that there is no a perfect solution that would please everyone. Let's just keep our server busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyhawk Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Absolutely not. You didn't get how SR works, at all. Switching team to the losing team won't necessary make SR lower, since time played in both team and other parameters is taken into account, and long term trends are more important than a single game. See the thread below for some explanation. As for XPsave, it's unnecessary. It was only asked because players are used to it, despite total accumulated XP not even been displayed. If populating the server was the objective, it's done and I'm pretty sure these players won't go anywhere soon, because so many others factors were responsible for TM success - the biggest being it being the only really popular pub server running Legacy due to amazing and long term work of admins. Restricting it to XPsave is kinda degrading towards them I'd say. These arguments thus aren't valid. The only reason people like XPSave-like feature is entirely psychological. I wasn't kidding above. Some people like to collect things. They focus on the results and want to be on top. Others focus on the process, and take pleasure in constantly improving themselves. Do some research online and you'll see how this is very well known. XPsave-like feature is the worst that happened to ET in its history, because so many players have never played its good original balance. This also demonstrates we (legacy devs) have to make leveling up and progressing in game fun again - ironically by using the very same psychological effects. Hopefully that will come sooner than later. Edited May 5, 2019 by Spyhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restricting it to XPsave is kinda degrading towards them I'd say. 3 If we're talking about "4 level skills for everyone" (XP save never fully worked on TM legacy server due to broken lua), then I agree 100% with Spyhawk. People, including TM members, have to understand that it's not the settings that made this server popular. Ironically, the server became popular while the settings on the server were still pretty shitty. Look how many changes were made during past months thanks to ideas and suggestions brought up here by players and members. Did people complain? No, the server became even more popular than before. I think it's mainly the ET: Legacy project itself and great effort to keep this server alive for many years and promote it that made it as popular as it is now.

Spyhawk Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yes, I'm using XPSave-like as a term for "4 lvl for everyone" here, because these settings are intended to replicate the XPSave feature on TM. Anyway, we do understand we need to make the process of leveling up more enjoyable than having fixed levels, and people (bad) habits get in the way, as usual. I like TM server a lot, it's good due to what admins created with lot of work and patience. I do however believe gameplay could be better :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage is the same, but spread is reduced by 35%. Why you reduced FG-42 spread , you are weakening covops against medic with 30 round and engie with rifle granades and ofc with other, panzer , flamethrower, artillary and etc, the only power for fg is in short range , now let us all be a hero medics, that's not wise from you Edited May 28, 2019 by The Great Pharaoh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
