CTF Block Wars Rant

[Andyyy]

goes invisible AND takes the flag making it really hard to kill them

The invis with the flag thing is a bug, report it.

kb spammers knock you off and ruin the game.

Don't jump when you fight them, if you jump you take 10x more kb.

A) Balance the kits, I don't know how but the way it is completely stupid. I'm not going to sugarcoat this because it's honest. It's completely unbalanced and really dumb.

The kits do need balancing but you have to say what you want, I can't even tell if this about 1.8 or 1.9, the two versions should really have different balancing for kits.

Add OP Mode, just like in egg wars there should be sharp II swords and Prot IV armor.

Maybe, only 1.8 tho because 1.9 wouldn't work with balancing.

C) Add food, tbh I think if everyone received steak and maybe a golden apple it would help the game. (Steak for normal, and steak and 2 golden apples for OP

Just give regen then.

D) Have a warning in CTF that there must be a hole for the flag to be placed for the team to score a point

OR

E) Have a designated spot where blocks can be placed so players can get the flags in.

No, it's strategy. I've previously mined the whole flag open to capture easily and it works pretty well, try it. If your teammates ask about it, teach them :)

I would suggest you read the ENTIRE thread again. I'm quite shocked everyone thinks its SO EASY to break into the core. I better start recording all my games because I'm not joking when I say we either lose to tryhard spammers or the blockers. I have never won a game on CTF for these reasons.

I have 7145 flags, do you think I have a problem breaking people's flag?

Focusing on this. If you don't have a hole it means neither side can score a point.

To me, this is just sounding like a lack of foresight and planning on your part rather than an actual game fault. This is in CTF, so you know you will have to capture the flag at some point if you want to win. With that in mind, you would want to prepare for that, either by leaving in a hole somewhere, or creating a weak point for yourself. Of course having decent teammates always helps with these kinds of things.
Having a designated premade whole which you are unable to cover up basically ruins half of the strategy since there is no real point to covering the flag since the enemies also have a straight path to the flag just like you do.

I don’t really want to see food or OP mode introduced since those just seem out of place and annoying. We basically have Op mode with the different voting options already (double blocks, speed, jump boost).

For kits, I think they are balanced just fine for 1.9 (been hearing that 1.8 isn’t though, but I don’t play 1.8 so I haven’t experienced it). This is a team oriented game. You aren’t supposed to be running into 1v2s or 1v3s etc and expect to have an easy battle and capture the flag. You need to communicate with your team for an organized strike, then you might not have as much trouble with spam clicking and such since you have your team to back you up.

This is why I get so angry. Literally, no one understands.
You NEED a hole to capture a flag. You cant capture without getting to your own flag.
Also if you agree with A then vote A ;)

I understood him just fine *shurg*

I think they’re fine

what?, no, why do we need this?

BW is a game without food. There’s no problem when dying, since you can keep playing

D) Have a warning in CTF that there must be a hole for the flag to be placed for the team to score a point

nah, blocking the core is just a tactic. You can always make a hole during the last 10 seconds

@Mecha_San and @Qin Shihuangdi PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU VOTED NO.

DONT SCREAM PLEASE O.O

I don't need your input on that. Let's stay on the thread topic.

Pretty funny that you say that without commenting on any of my points against your suggestion.

Sometimes the teammates block it back up OR you die trying to get it in because you were being followed. I shouldn't have to really.

Then explain why there should be a gap. I think the most of your teammates will understand you. And still, it's just a tactic, you shouldn't be forced to create a gap.

I guess Ill keep suffering in block wars then.

You should not request locks for threads if people don't agree with you. That's ridiculous

Or just don't use ninja because nearly every other kit can mine in fine

I'm not. It's none of your business anyway. If I wanted it locked I don't need to be harassed about it. That's my choice.
