Furdle's and Pass' StarWars Battlefront Server - "Flawless Shop System"

[Racerboy]

I just know from my own personal experience of hosting that shops are the stufftiest idea for a weapons base in a server. I don't see why you couldn't make this same TDM except using a class system that didn't require points, just make sure all the classes/loadouts are balanced.

I don't think you understand the idea of accomplishment in games.

It feels good to go over a hurdle (such as farming kills to earn a weapon you want)
Then getting rewarded for your work.

There's other ways of doing this other than a shop. having certain rewards for killing sprees or temporary invincibility after capturing a point would be more practical. shops are just stuffty ways of keeping players who join early addicted, and repelling players who join later because they don't have a chance at getting any kills because of all the blasters and stuff that are OP as hell compared to the stock weapon.

Agreed. And i'm not saying it's the best way either.

But I don't think it's bad. I think shops work.

i love how the shop is supposed to "keep players in the server" yet it currently has 1 player on it

[Nibble]

I had a shop on my server and no one said a damn thing about it at all. When my server had over 15+ people, not one complaint came from everything. And MY admins made it balanced enough to stop people from spawnkilling/camping. But seeing Furdle's bullstuff from the 7 pages, it just brings a tear to my eye to see such an starfish butthurt kid who is angry that he can't win over a drama against him.

Soooo... /support

[eldruF]

kid

You're 16.

I haven't read the past 7 pages

Everyone should be allowed to give their opinion and a good host listens and thinks about it.

this

[kanew2000]

just look at how popular tf2 is as a game
it's balanced, the weapons are fair and if they aren't they're soon beaten to death or removed entirely

it gives a nice sense of skill > fancy shoots gun I bought with my POIENTS/MAENIES

not saying that the shop system should be removed in favor of classes though that would certainly be a good idea just that it needs major revamping in favor of balance rather than HOOK PLAYERS FOR FUN AND PROFIT

maybe different play styles for each gun/item? it depends on what you favor/player base favors


also I'm thinking that guy going 'SHUT UP RACERBOY' probably had the highest kill streak and all the weapons and didn't want his pacifier taken away

there's making suggestions, there's giving criticism, and there's complaining

[SgtDaemon]

It would be better if the starting weapon was not a loving stuff 10-hit-to-kill toy.

So unlockables wouldn't be better, improved weapons that give advantage, but alternative weapons for alternative fighting styles.

Like in TF2: You got the unlockables, sure, but those are balanced to the already powerful default weapons, so even new players who don't yet have any unlockable weapons can play the game with a little skill*.

Don't tell me that you can play this server with skill. Skill doesn't help if everyone else has an automatic laser-rocket-grenade launcher while you're stuck with a stuffty pistol

[The Resonte!]

so uh yeah

A while ago Furdle asked me to join his server, so I did.
I told him it might have been a good idea to balance the shop a little bit, as it was kind of unbalanced.
Guess what was his response.
Something along the lines of "can you please shut the forget up with all your whining lol"
Point taken: No matter how politely I try to explain to Furdle and his Co. that the system is flawed, he will always brush it off as whining and call me names.

Also suggested that instead of points gathered from donations he would make hats or other cosmetic things, although I don't think he even cared about it.

[Racerboy]

so uh yeah


the server turned pay2win

jesus christ that's hilarious

paying money for a stuff server that probably won't last another month

[chrisbot6]

being honest here, what do you expect from two egotistical handicaps hosting a server
