I can live with Invasion crashing every 5 minutes (during weapon change after ghost). I can live with spawning into the horde of monsters. I can live when (sometimes) it is not possible to drop picked weapon. But why Invasion wastes hundreds of my adrenaline while enchanting weapon to the same type as before?

The magic weapon makers are completely random, so it is indeed possible to to have weapon enchantments to appear twice in a row.

A while ago i thought if it would be possible to go spec without losing your weapons. Since satin was playing at the moment i asked him/her the same question. He/she answered that racing/assault has a function that allows one to return after crashing without losing your points.

Mabye this could be used to keep your weapons (only with denial) and score after going spec or crashing. For crashing you could set a timer of 1 min and if you dont return in that time your progress is erased.

For going spec i would suggest coding something that would kill you when you go spec but you can not be resurrected in any way. When you disconnect (unless you are willing to fix the join button) to reconnect again then the 1 min timer goes on and when you return within that time you keep your curret weapons (with denial) and score.I think this would remove any reason to go ingame afk.

Please keep in mind that i do not know anything about the programming of ut and i am typing this on my phone.

If you are wondering why im posting this here then its because the topic title has invasin dicussion in it.

PS: should i use he or she depending on wich skin the player i am writing about is using ?

There is such function in AS / RACE and BW Freon server, that recovers your points / stats. However this is quite specific to the actual customized gametypes and cannot be that easily ported to INV.

I'd use a nicer skin on Invasion, except it doesn't support server skins sadly :(

I got ip banned for the duration current map (sidney) five minutes ago. (about 16:20 at UTC +02:00)
This is not a ban appeal but i would just like to know what i did wrong so i could avoid it next time.
I was currently sharing adneraline for weapon enchating with odium (in red building) when i got a lag spike and got the ban message. There was no warning, well at least i didnt notice it if it was there.

Ban message when i try to join:

Connection failed
Your ip has been banned for the current game session.

I know how it works now, but the question is can they be not completely random (to work in loop and eventually exclude last used enchantment after random choice)? It doesn't make sense in current implementation.
However, if it is not possible to do, I can live even with such a "feature" (it reminds me of our saying: "it is not a bug, it's a feature...).

Actually, no. Another player (Predator) has been kickvoted shortly before Olaroll left the game too. Maybe someone accidentally pressed a wrong button in webadmin ;)
