For Renegade of course.
I'm fully aware that TT shouldn't include balance changes, but the keyword here is should. I want to be damn sure it doesn't before it's pushed. The fact if something is a bug or a balance issue can be different in the eye of the beholder, as was shown in the past.
|
I think this is the most nonsensical post I've ever seen you write.

OK, one word: POINTSFIX.

As a moderator:
DO NOT START A POINTSFIX DEBATE/FLAME WAR IN THIS TOPIC.
Offenders will be banned. Go start it where it belongs.
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

how can you say that changing the point system doesnt effect balence? half of renegade wasnt against it because they wouldnt get 50 extra points for hitting the harvy, as a certain person had u beleive.
|
again it seems that the extraordinary lengths i went to to acknowledge and respond to people's criticisms of the pointsfix are in inverse proportion to the attention they paid to my own statements.
the only criticism from you that lasted more than thirty seconds in a debate was about mesa (although the fact you focused on this one map while totally ignoring the vastly improved fairness of under, field and wallsfly said a lot more than you meant it to), and i said right from the beginning that this was because the map itself had a huge bug that could also be fixed (deadzones). lo and behold, fixing that has revolutionised the map.
don't go misrepresenting my statements on the pointsfix and don't go pretending that i didn't make an extraordinarly careful and thoughtful case in its favour, it's only gonna end with you looking stupid and/or dishonest yet again.
but i will agree with you on one thing: i won't hear it said that the pointsfix doesn't affect balance. of course it does; it fixes a glaring balance problem. getting points and credits for absolutely no reason. of course removing this bullshit is going to affect balance; the fact it affects balance so positively is the best thing about it.
"how can you say that changing the point system doesnt effect balence?"
indeed. of course changing the original points system, thereby allowing you to get points and credits for absolutely no reason, will affect the game's balance.

it doesn't take much work to "adapt" to the original renegade points and economy system, you just need to remember to actually do damage instead of shooting things ineffectually.
|
Thing is, for example, if you are used to sniping, and getting points to win by shooting tanks with heavy armor, then it does take adaptation to know that there is now no point in shooting them. Just one of many examples i could use, just takes less time, and is easier on us all if we just don;t have to, if not needed. I know you feel that it IS needed, which is fine by me, just that others do not.

the fault for this belongs entirely to the points bug - it taught you ridiculously bad habits. still, it shouldn't take you much brainpower to get over that one - if your reaction upon seeing a heavy vehicle threatening your base is to shoot it ineffectually, i put it to you that you were never a good player in the first place.

don't hide behind that, give all of the "many".

well, that says it all, doesn't it.
if you don't think the maps should be fair, and if you don't think offensive play should trump defensive play, and if you don't think points ought to mean anything at all, and if you don't really think the game ought to have an economy system, then you won't see the need in implementing the original points system.
