Delivered TF2: Remove the roll the dice plugin on the harvest server.

[oz_]

Hello, I was asked to post this here. A huge majority of regulars on the harvest server hate the rtd plugin. I know there is a thread about O's having the ability to turn it off. But honestly I think that there are not enough O regulars that play on that server and most people don't know about the command to vote it off and just complain.

So I suggest the complete removal of that plugin. Maybe we can create a poll or something to vote on it?

 

[MrG]

I second this

Excellent idea

I hate rtd its borderline so dumb you can get 20kills by running at a entire team and screaming MEDIC!.Its also annoying when someone has an rtd bind and rolls crits or powerful hits or etc during a 1v1 its unfair. Please remove it

I agree and support oz_ 's proposal entirely.

+1. RTD on a server not running a custom game mode is never fun, for me.

What's the alternative? How would you guys for lack of better words spice up the server to avoid repetition. How do you propose to keep things fresh? That's what RTD is for, and to its credit it does just that. Something needs to exist. Some replacement.

Eventually things just grind into the same thing over and over. It's not like we can't do something else, but nobody has suggested a replacement or how they could tweak the settings.
Can nothing be done to modify it to fix the problem?

If you guys really want it gone, fair enough. But IMHO we need SOMETHING to mix it up every now and again.

There doesn't need to be an alternative. Nothing is needed to spice things up. Most people who are regulars on the harvest server play for the deathmatch feeling it has. RTD adds way to many random variables that completely ruin the dm feel the server has. To the point that it's almost unplayable for most of the dm centric players who make up a large portion of the people who populate that server (myself included).

Eventually things just grind into the same thing over and over. It's not like we can't do something else, but nobody has suggested a replacement or how they could tweak the settings.

That is literally the whole point of a server that is one map 24/7, no random crits, no random spread and instant respawn. The majority on harvest want consistency, not the randomness that rtd is. That plugin will cause a huge portion of the regulars that have been playing on the server for years to go to other harvest servers that don't have rtd.

If you guys really want it gone, fair enough. But IMHO we need SOMETHING to mix it up every now and again.

In my opinion that's what the event server should be for. Something different every now and again. As of late there have been multiple events per week.

I mean I've made my points. Just know not everyone is going to agree with you, with me, or with either of us. IMHO we have a vested interest in having something to break the repetition. And I think on the bigger picture having absolutely nothing in those manners will end not well. I just urge we tread carefully.

I enjoy the servers because of that deathmatch style. I don't like when someone else types rtd in the chat and suddenly becomes god. The bats always cause lag when I get them, and noclip was an issue before I think it was removed.

But the majority on harvest agree that rtd is a mistake.

Not really, at least not on the harvest server. No one on that server is complaining about repetitiveness.

And I think on the bigger picture having absolutely nothing in those manners will end not well. I just urge we tread carefully.

Things will probably end worse for the harvest server if we keep that plugin. I've been hearing mostly negative opinions of RTD from people on harvest and even on the eGO discord when someone brings it up.

RTD is going to cause a huge exodus of regulars on that server if we keep it. Since everyone hates the randomness of it. I think we should tread even lighter when comes to adding stuff that changes things so drastically. Plugins like RTD are server killers. Unless it's some kind of custom map, like trade servers.

 

[Yoyo god]

it not really fun cause you get to manys buffs and stuff and rtd just makes it not fun and you get killed fast

Feels stupid to have rtd on a server that doesn't have random crits.
This is not an argument to have random crits btw.
Just no need to have random shit on a server most people use for deathmatch

We will be getting a post together shortly to allow y'all to vote on some options to change the RTD plugin on Harvest
