Eyeaduct: Should there be truce?

[Kazoo]

I'm sure a lot of people has played on this year's Halloween Map, Eyeaduct. When Monoculus appears, it only stays there for a minute and a half.

So just wondering, do you think there should be truce between the two teams when Monoculus appears?

At first, I didn't care that the monster arrived and kept killing the enemy. But it's actually quite difficult to kill that monster when the two teams keep fighting each other, especially with the time limit. Now I call truce whenever the great eyeball appears. It works sometimes. Other times, I still get targeted and killed by the enemies. (Or so they think. If I see it coming, I use Dead Ringer to save myself.) I still try to be a peaceful spy and keep to the truce.

So yeah, let me know what you think. Is having truce a good or crazy idea?

Don't care. I stopped caring about that map after 5 minutes. Sure the items you can find are cool but there's almost always someone camping the spot where items spawn. More importantly, now these items are worth 2 scrap (and will only lower in price) so I don't even bother. The only time I go to play there is when Mesa is empty and I KILL EVERYONE! I don't purposely go killing people when eyeball is on the sky...I like keeping my eye on the eye....it shoots rockets that are bad for health.

Looks like its supposed to be a truce, the point becomes unable to capture and goes neutral so no need to fight each other. I agree with what ShawnJ said too this Halloween update is a mess and it empties all the good servers. The items you get are gone after the event so why bother. For me TF2 I have very little interest in atm until this event is over.

Truce?

Personally, I go along with the truce, since people want to get the achievments in the short window that is the Halloween event. Unlike the HHH, the Monoculous has a time limit, so both teams have to push and hold their fire on each other if they want to get the badge and hat. That's my opinion on the matter.

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

Items are ok, and that eyeball isnt that hard to kill. Sure its annoying when you are trying to kill it and others kill you instead, but hey its a game. I got the book the first time playin on that map, no need in playing that map anymore once you have the outfits you want (spy and demo) .

 

[SnowCanary]

Absolutely not! The boss fight is a prime time trolling opportunity for me. Those crockets that were intended to be used on Monoculous find their mark near opponents instead. My favorite part is gibbing enemies on Loot Island.

 

[IrateDonnie]

Yeah, I think the teams shouldn't be able to damage each other unless you go through a portal or loot island when the boss is out.

No mercy to blues in the underworld!

I agree completely with SnowCanary. It is really fun to crush people's hopes and dreams by obliterating them on Loot Island.

That happened to me like 7-8 times before I finally got the loot. When I finally got it, as soon as I entered loot island I gibbed a Heavy & it turned out to be Mental Buga I still feel bad about it, I just didn't want to take any chances.

 

[Kazoo]

I love the variety of answers. (Though personally, I think killing people on Loot Island is quite harsh, but to each their own.)

And for the last two hours I was on, I actually failed at being peaceful. I was getting killed too often, so I returned more fire at the enemy. Cause of that, I noticed that the Monoculus rarely got killed. I think by now, most of the people that were playing got the achievements so it wasn't such a big issue.

Besides killing the ones who attacked me or my teammates, I try to take down the sentries while the boss is up. With the focus on the eyeball, it's a good opportunity to take them down before the point is open for capture again.

 

[Raul Tha Monk]

its alright didnt bug me

 

[Ducttape]

Sentries don't know the meaning of the word 'truce'.


I love how the Eye will attack sentries and vice versa though. That Eye gets angry when it gets close to a sentry.

 

[Panzer1509]

My thoughts: shoot that darn eye

My greedy thoughts: kill the enemy, rack up some points while the eye is there

Sorry

 

[retroG]

i think there should at least be truce in the ujnderworld

To put it succinctly, this is Team Fortress 2, not Team Harmony 2: Friendship Is Magic.

Lets all stop what we are doing, throw aside team colors, and become one giant army to defeat this Eyeball so we can get a eyehat.


Or how bout I kill anyone that isn't my color, and if I get the hat weeeee, if not who really cares. (Apparently a lot of people though so meh)




I look at it like this: If I jump in the warp hole, and live to get through the other portal, then I should be able to shiney crit shoot whoever I want in the face.

 

[Kazoo]

Good points. I like to read what everyone thinks of this.

XD Very good point.

 

[Fermonx]

I think its a good idea, i got my stuff on a server from Argentina where admin bans you for 20 or 10 min if you kill while monoculus appears... that would be great to help people who wants the achievment and monoculus hat and do this too for Horsemann because its a lot harder <--- let like 4 or 2 dudes make the last hit with meele

lol i agree. trolling on eyeaduct is hilarious. seriously though, why do people gotta freak out about losing the chance to get a dumb hat and a dumb badge?
