<> OCEANIC CAMPAIGN I: OFFICIAL THREAD <>

[ACC1]

I have a suggestion about the server rules for campaign battles. I think the FF settings should be changed so that the victim receives 100% damage and the attacker receives none. There shouldn't be any problems with griefing in a campaign match, so I think it'd be nice a nice opportunity to get rid of the damage mirror. All in favour say aye?

The distinction caused too much confusion. The rule changes were for simplification. The effect of the rules is that Papa is now a mercenary emplyed by SPLH, he's not a member of the kingdom (sorry Papa).

No problemo.

Its currently being used as 50/50, I dont mind if it its slightly changed to say 75/25, which is the opposite of how we do it on the test server. 100% would hurt.. alot!

I think the point was to remove FF damage from the offender all together.  I like Lazarou's idea.

Yeah I noticed, But ill need a fair bit of input from everyone before I do such a huge change.

There will be alot more friendly kills instead of suicides.

 

[Alec{zacool}]

Not really.

Oceanic Campaign battles are between professional soldiers, not randoms.

Also, I've been working on the mod.

I really need you guys to talk to me about it.

 

[Doomicus]

I think it's a good idea too.

Like alec said, we're all fighting in organised groups. So we would take caution in our attacks.

Is there a thread to talk about this mod Alec? I have heard little bits about it, but don't really know much.

Wookie just told me that you guys can't get people this week (we were struggling too). So the war is rescheduled to Sunday the 25th 8pm EST.

We still owe Dojo that match we had to put off, so we'd like to organise something with them before having another one with you.

We will try come up with something before the end of the week to organise for the week after to give you guys and us plenty of time.

We're likely to be having a battle with KoS on sunday, so some time after that we can do a battle. How many people would you be likely to have?


Edit: Just realised the 25th is ANZAC day, so we should try one of the other days. Pretty sure most of us will be intoxicated.

 

[HTAPAWASO]

In the future you shouldn't be able to cancel matches this close to the time.

Just play with what you've got or forfeit.

Nice work reading through the page!

Binboy's already done your faction troops/equipment, so you don't have to fuss. Yet.

Yeah, that's reasonable.

At least we're TRYING to organise something though. Things don't always work out ideally.

Is Friday, Saturday or Monday next week ok for you guys? I doubt the availability of people on ANZAC day.

Wasn't trying to have a go at you, but it is quite annoying to go out of your way to be home to play a frikkin' clan match two days in a row and have both cancelled at the last minute.

So Laz, what about making it a rule... no cancelling less than 12/24 hours before a match, you must forfeit or play with whoever you can muster?

Hey guys, just thought id pop in and say hi.

Seems your having problems with organising clan matches, this is just a suggestion (and u may have already discussed this) but what if like one night a week was clan match night? (Like Sunday night 6-7pm AEST) That means sunday night would always be booked as warband time unless something else came up? Obviously as a single uni student i have alot more free time than those working/with families etc but if these matches were a regular occurance wouldnt it be easier to organise?

This business of choosing a random day and time, then checking for peoples avaliability seems pretty hard. Also untill otherwise stated i am avaliable for merc duties.

anywas hope to get to participate soon.

Sunday was sorta clan-match-day at the beginning... I guess the problem is that some people have things to do on sunday, so it's not fair to them to have every single match on that day.

I think our current system would work fine if there were more restrictive rules about cancelling matches.
If you cancel too close to the time, you forfeit. If you reschedule at all after agreeing on a time, you have to sacrifice one player and fight at a disadvantage... something like that.

 

[RAOUL]

Total greetz for this one.

Stricter rules regarding actually showing up to matches need to be enforced.  We've ample players with all of this alliance nonsense, it really shouldn't be a problem.

I would also like to note that people should not be able to deny more than one challenge (I am pretty much saying this out of spite).  If a clan happens to want to physically manhandle another, they should rightfully be capable of doing it.  Implementing a longer delay between when one clan can challenge another one consecutively would probably be a good idea too, meaning that one clan can not constantly challenge another every 24 hours.  However, they should be able to challenge, and if the challenge is denied, there should probably be a 48-72 hour wait before you MUST accept and play with what you've got, like HTAPA said.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I don't think that's necessary. The Adjudicator can always step in if a clan is avoiding matches just because they don't want to risk any territory.

A message from Rawr

O’ SPLH O’ Kos head my call
An alliance is what we do seek
For without your strength we may fall
Our enemies gather as we speak

Upon this day Rawr does request
To join our ready forces with you
Our minds are set on bloody conquest
But alas our numbers are too few

So take the time to think it through
We’ll expect an answer by today
But keep in mind, if you refuse
RAWR will surely make you pay!

With a bit of tweaking, Scorch and I Managed to get the latest stable release of mumble running smoothly with positional audio!. There is even a Games_On_Net server for us to use, so no excuses people.
http://mumble.sourceforge.net/

For those who don't know, It allows you to bind your voice to your character's position in-game, so that you can hear your friends talking in relation to your current position. It pretty much simulates the ability to yell out to someone on the battlefield. You can tweak the settings to change the distances that the voices drop off in volume or how low the volume gets at distance, and you can set up a button to override the positional speech in case you need to talk to everyone. It's got much better audio than Teamspeak too.

 

[HTAPAWASO]

Marshall, how does it work with ghosts?

 

[Scorch!]

You mean ghosting? Well when you die the link is lost, so you will be speaking to the whole channel, rather than in positional audio, you can also hear everyone talking in non positional.

But that is what the whisper shortcut is for, just set it up to only talk to your team and it will work like a charm. You can also set a whisper button to talk to the people in non positional audio and more.

Basically its TS on steroids and multivitamins. Its ****ing awesome compared to TS. It even has a built in overlay, so we don't need to use Playclaw.

Sounds pretty nifty...

If only I could be bothered...
