Author Topic: Knife TDM's: this stuff needs to stop now  (Read 5393 times)


I never liked knife TDM's.
I have played it, but i sucked at it and didn't think it was much fun.
I think i played a grapple knife TDM too.
And i thought it was handicapped.
Why do you give the players a tool to avoid dying of a mechanic that made it challenging?

Anyhow, still don't like it and i avoid the servers.
My brother plays on them sometimes and i watched him play it a bit.
He got owned so many times, but yet he likes it.

There is this one with a level system and from what i heard it is like this:
The higher your level, the further you can knife people from.
If this is actually true, then that is really forgeted up.

Tl;Dr I don't like any version of Knife TDM, i suck at them too (not the main reason why i don't like them, but it helps), and the grapple knife TDM is handicapped because you give players the tools to avoid a mechanic that was posing a challenge.

I have no problem with knife TDMS, even if they are unoriginal. Alot of people enjoy playing on them. There is no need to shut them down, but a need to have more original servers. Back in v10-v11, even though almost every server was a TDM or a Zombie RP, those servers were original. The weapon sets were mixed, but back then we only had weapons with unlimited ammo for the most part and they looked fine. The point is that we need more original servers and need to stop bashing Knife TDMS. A Medieval TDM? A Ninja vs Security VIP match? A DM where players pick classes from mutalids to hydralisks? What about Space-themed Dogfight with ground combat and dogfighting?

the knife tdms are not [very] crap, they just need original ideas

like say city top knife tdm?

or space knife tdm on top of asteroids!

or one without teams!

I've actually had some cool ideas this concept could be improved, but Cat didn't give 2 stuffs about my ideas.

They need more variation instead of a bunch of neon plates with diferent colors

I've never liked knife TDMs. Usually the builds are crappy and effortless. Gameplay is boring and repetitive. I can't believe people actually spend their time trying to get to high ranks in those servers, it's pointless.

i don't see why its just knife dm, why not a horse ray dm or something

Admittedly it's fun if you're actually good at it (many people get their asses handed to them by pros, dismissing the idea of a knife tdm entirely), but the lack of different maps is a pretty blatant and obvious problem here...

loving forget knife TDMs to loving hell.
forget them.
forget them hard.

I miss the days when all servers were original ideas or freebuilds :c
those days will never come back.
not because they left, but because you outgrew them.

city top knife TDMs have been done before
same with ones without teams(i've been to one before and it had a really cool map, it was fun but i forget who hosted it)


anyway i don't really see the issue here?
if people enjoy knife TDMs, they can go to them, if not they can go to other servers
sorry if this sounds dismissive but i just don't really get it

I don't like tdms because most of the time they are lagging and the map is boring.

I used to play on those servers because it was fun but now it's boring because it's the same stuff.


Also don't forget that these servers attract horrid admins for some reason. It's like no host out there can actually choose good admins. They always end up being abusive or richard heads.

Grapple Knife TDM Falling Platforms server is what I've been looking for, nothing so far.

I fully support this. knife TDMs are awful.
