[poll] New server - ideas

[SpetzNaz]

In regards to the medic class specifically, it hasn't been implemented (and likely won't be) because it drastically changes the balance of the game.

Think of it this way: Suddenly, the amount of damage/shots it takes to kill someone changes. Additionally, it now becomes plausible to flee from encounters, get yourself healed, and then run back. Consider the absurd nature of that... no soldier can magically get healed and return to a fight within mere minutes. It simply doesn't work that way, and while the game does't neccesairly claim true realism, that throws it off to a silly degree. The game was not designed to operate with a medic class. Adding that ability screws up the balance.

While a neat concept for newer players, this will dramatically effect the quality of players that come to our servers. As a veteran player, I myself would not play on any server that modifies the dynamics of the game to such a level, and many who have been playing the game for years, feel the same way.

Spetz has a point, allthough the idea as a whole is pretty awesome.

but spetz , if you think that why don twe have ff on as in real life soldiers do get killed by FF so that surely is against ur idea of "no soldier can magically get healed and return to a fight within mere minutes. It simply doesn't work that way, and while the game does't neccesairly claim true realism, that throws it off to a silly degree."

another idea is that i set up for the server i pay for the majority of it but peole can pay towards it as well but it be under thate eGO name tag. would that be a better idea so it doesnt irectly come out of eGO's wallet as such.

Make the KK server a realism server. Done Deal.

I think all of this is healthy discussion and should be encouraged. We will not continue to move forward unless we continue to bring fresh ideas to the table.

That being said, not all ideas are feasible at the moment of their conception.

I agree with you Spetz, just not the right time for it.

 

[SpetzNaz]

Yeah, we actually do run FF along with our current custom content, so that's a non-issue. I agree with you on that one.

Regardless of who pays for it though, we're simply not ready for another server, realism or not. We have 3 primary servers that are not regularly full. Only then can we consider adding another server.

I know I may be coming off as a bit of a jerk here, but I assure you that isn't my intention. We're simply not in a position to open another server of questionable popularity.

ok ill Spezt lets call it a done deal dont have the server yet but when them servers are being used more and we get new orange game players maybe. also why dont you dont we drease the amount for the orange map server. that u i has only seen it full once and thats when new maps were added.

so inconclusuion we not going to set up the server now sorry for setting high expectations for people who said yes but i think i agreee with spetz. ty all for aprpicating in this.
