    [Suggestion] Server Stuff


    Well, I am not trying to be up in people faces but I just want some feedback on this. I got a couple of suggestions that I want to share with you guys. Please do not flame :P.

    • Gold Donators get reserved slots (If they have it then okay)
    • Roll the Dice mod (Remove the ones you dont like)

    Yeah dude, we just went through a whole thing with reserved slots and the ruling was that no one wants them. Also roll the dice in a competitive style pub = a no no. Don't mean to rain on your parade, I appreciate the suggestion.

    Those are both terrible server features that I've hated everywhere I've encountered them. Two of the reasons I don't stray from iO servers anymore.

    I always play on iO servers, however I once just got on some other server for fun.. but it actually wasn't fun at all.. those servers really suck.. (I tried a few)

    Agreed. Even though RTD is really fun, I think a competitive server can't have it (at least in iO). I think the idea/prospect that someone could roll invulnerability/invincibility is just game breaking (again on our existing servers). In general, any upgrade/handicap (for a lack of better words), are game breaking. Invulnerability makes ubers useless and a handicap (say a person loses health for 5 seconds) is just annoying and injures not only the player's ability to help out (in most cases, there are some really skilled players who probably wouldn't be that affected) but also the team as a whole (one less person with full health means more medic needs for example).

    Sorry if my explanation is confusing, kind of in a rush to get out to a concert. However, good idea, I think it would work otherwise on an iO server dedicated to random stuff (hide 'n seek, RTD, etc).

    I don't think there is a way to not auto balance people who dominate many others. Auto balance is random, the first to die (non donor) will get auto balanced, no matter what your score is.

    Re: [Suggestion] Server Stuff

    I think a RtD server would be a fine idea with map vote on like ten different maps, but RtD added in on all the servers wouldn't be a good idea.

    I like getting stuck somewhere where when I demo jump and hit rtd, and get no clipping...

    RTD is one of my favorite mods, but that being in all servers is a little too crazy, especially iO. Maybe use ctf_2fort and put RTD as an event or something like that. I don't really like the idea of RTD being in all servers however.

    We could try it for an event (rtd) but otherwise no thanks. As a Gold donor, I don't want reserved slots.
