NEW RPG System - UT2 Test for UT3 - Need Feedback Please

[Sneak]

Sounds awsome man. i think the whole rank thing and all the tweaking is a good thing. only thing im worried about is the fact that we probably wont be beating wave 20 for a while LOL. but that aside im all for it.

One suggestion i may have though is mabey an ability or something low lvls can get that protects them or gives a power boost untill a certain lvl to help them along cause i know how hard it is to lvl up with higher lvls taking ur kills and not being able to fire a shot off before diying. just an idea.

And if u need any testing done im there and if u could find it in ur heart id like to mabey try my hand at helping with the server. i dont have to be an admin but if theres some random thing i could do. i need all the practice i can get at networking and stuff cause its my worst area. hoping u could give me some pointers and things to try.

I really like the idea gives us old players a fresh start if you need help testing in the future you have my skype name =]

Hi, i know nothing about building maps, mobs, etc but give me a plot of land and I could construct a building as mad as some of your maps 8)

The offer of ideas and suggestions are great as with out them we would still be playing bat and ball on the commodors, spectrums, ataris' and the like [or just seeing who has the best colours on their abaci, :drool: ]

The main concern I have [as I see some other players do], is the quality of game play for the master types (weapon, medic, adrenaline, artifacts etc), will they just be stood around loosing game play while 'slow typers' and 'English is not my 1st language' players are trying to ask for stuff. I wouldn't think begginers would be a problem, they wouldn't know what to be askin for, I know I didn't :oops:

I like the idea of the ranks, not too sure sbout the ranks listed so I put them down below, maybe your country has changed them, i wouldn't know as i'm a johnny forienger [both USA and UK are listed as I have heard comments about the possibility of a UK/European server]

as I have heard comments about the possibility of a UK/European server]

it is possible. the question is: should a unique server turned in a non-unique? if this mod "only" runs on two servers, i dunno if this "twin-unique"
is counted as unique, and if anyone but eorpeans/australians/asians/africans...want it....
sure it would be nice, esp it would end the alltime-highping-discussion, but finally only joey can say yes or no. i think in 2k4 its wasting time, but in 2k7 we first need to see how many survive....

yeah i just heard about the euroean server thing and im with amy here. theres no point in worrying about it at this point because 2k7 will be out soon enough. and as for uniqueness, mabey joey could run that server too, in which case it would still be unique because they r his servers and nobody else has his mod. just him.but i dont know about the whole overseas sever hosting thing. i suck at networks . im just getting into that in my junior year with these trade school classes so mabey ill learn some. im taking html editing too so mabey after all is said and done i can help paintball maintain the forum. anyway, second 2k4 sever is wasted time.

2. New block for custom skins and voice packs. Since epic cant handle the code right and causes extreme lag and issues - complete!.
3. Removal of Ghost since ghost never works right during lag, loss weapons etc. - in the process (deciding).
4. Tweaks on Denial, partial loss weapons - in process.

thanks.

Primus: Will our skin packs we post to the forum be added in as allowed if they pass a vetting process?

Secundus: If u remove ghost can you make ressurect wait for a count of 5 before ressurecting you and make it so you "pop" in on the opposite side of map (to prevent being rekilled by nuke/vortex/insane wand-deemer maniac)

Tertius: After ressing can u increase the saftey timer.

ok, thats my 2 bits for now

to be honest, i hope there isnt a euro server, i would miss all my buddies from overseas, might have to change my name to cries or wails or miserable or mourning

no adrenaline in UT3 so it will need to be custom coded

Ghost is the buggiest thing there is in ut2k4. Player models with to much animation will crash out the game, lock up your system, BSOD, and/or on rare occasion drop a entire server when they ghost. This can also happen to regular players when they have a shader replacing there skin or overlaying it such as invisibility, when they ghost.

My suggestion would be to do away with physically moving you through walls and crap, and just teleporting you someplace. Maybe giving you some health and armor in the process.

I don't particularly like the no magic weapons except from the weapon master either.

I think it would be nice if the weapon master maybe could remove curses.

also maybe an ingame menu to flag yourself for what you need instead of always typing or for some things a autonotice sent to people of the class types that need the notice.

can you please post this "buggy" part with more descriptions or the source (links) into bugsection? some of the coders dont read all but
sometimes whats new in the bugreports. could be interesting! every
fact about that (like i said, links) can help fix ghost or skin-problems.

Well, have yet to see a server crippling error with ghost on Joeys so far. Might be what's causing the random hikes in lag, but apart from that, nothing solid yet...
