Camping Trolls
« on: February 28, 2011, 09:41:32 AM »
I think this has become something of an issue. Fortifying a position and defending it is fine, but fortifying inside an indestructible village hut or right on the map border to make flanking impossible is abusing the game mechanics. The game ends up taking twice as long as the lone engineer nutcase simply sits behind his minecraft-esque construction.

This is supposed to be China WW2 Battlefield, not China WW2 Legoland.

Any ideas on how to deal with this? Maybe banning some repeat offenders is necessary?

Again, I don't object to the use of engineers, but if you visit the servers you will see that the situation has gotten out of hand. Only games on empty steppes or plains are playable anymore.

That's right. Building sandbags on top of another should be fixed somehow. Or code the props in that way so their meshes can't "meet".

just make a TNT weapon which can blast through stuff
Because if I say so, it probably isn't.

     That would work, then it is up to being prepared with your loadout rather than whining about it to admins. Win Win I say.

I hate it when the last person alive on a team is off in some corner building a huge base, but at the same time I really like the ability to construct things and I think it would be a shame to limit it just because some people are idiots.

Fully agree. A weapon must be long set, some time to "burn" and then destroy a bunker together with defenders.

As long as it can't be spammed like Grenades can.
Then again, grenades do blow up fortifications if you pop one or two on.
I really don't what construction to be limited.

Maybe a Special deconstruction hammer?

So then we have glass walls with bits of burnt cloth in them?
No the Chinese are not Turks. They are a totally different species. They came to China after the Turks from around North-East of Black Sea in ancient times and invaded China.

After they settled in China, the Mongols were given the duty to imprison them inside China by any means possible so that they did not invade the rest of the world. But they failed.

TNT is the way forwards lads.
Because if I say so, it probably isn't.

That's all fine and well, but more importantly it has to make an audible hissing sound for a few seconds before it blows up  :)

a "few seconds"?
give it 10 seconds of clear "this is hissing booom booom time" and a largeish radius of complete destruction.
