Don't agree with you. It's not the Freon, where you can run and jump all the time. On Invasion, there are some maps you cannot hide anywhere, even for a period of time. You would be dead in the 1st wave (earlier) or 2nd - 3rd (now). And those "safety spots" are safe from walking monsters only, not from flying. Not checked yet on teleporting ones. Your version, not mine, would simply kill the game fun.

You die because you are bad.

You might as well ask for a safe zone in Freon. A game without challenge is a pile of shit.

I tried to change my name yesterday in Invasion within the invasion and was showing
"Butcher_Impostor" with 0 experience; That when I used "Butcher" as player name. Why the "impostor " is being set in the name?

Did you change CD keys? If so, I'll need your current CD key to transfer your stats to "Butcher."

Same as the one in Server 1. Yes, I got a steam UT2k4 when I became a VIP because my old one seemed to be hacked or distributed. Gizmo took the new CDkey when I was online and set it in Server 1. Today I will not be online, but maybe tomorrow else I'll send you a PM.

Then that is the fault of the game balance. Is it not more enjoyable to have maps that are free roam, rather than scenarios where you and 6 other players are forced to camp in one spot like an entire Gypsy bloodline in a small caravan?

Problem is I feel, is even if the monsters were made weaker so that someone who is free roaming could survive, then it just makes hiding even more effective linearly. Perhaps the anti camp needs looking at, and given the pure distilled RAGE that it caused when it was first added, the camp is strong on this server.

Anyhow a note to end with, don't get me wrong - I don't play here so I understand any suggestion I give might seem unwarranted, but taking what you say at face value where people just hide in a box, it seems like a really limited gametype. The times I did play there, it was just using the translocator to get to a rooftop the AI couldnt.

Not everyone is a Pro, and they enjoy it as it is. But, if you want a challenge for yourself solve the UT2k4 tournament, (no cheats, mods or adds) in Inhuman and/or Godlike (if you can). I've done it in Masterful.

I've done it in Masterful.

Sick gamer!

I feel like there is an awful lot of room to improve on invasion. There are too many monsters with extremely high health that make your weapons feel completely ineffective, and in large maps the projectiles are extremely easy to avoid, yet getting hit by one is almost surely instant death.

This is not difficult, its just made artificially difficult with numbers being inflated to high values.

Say it to the beginners with starting levels.
As I observed some no-hiding players, the only effective are ones with complete invulnerability to damage. Think about this.

You should fix the enchantment of protection +20. maybe a nerf, playing like that is useless. its makes it like taking a tank in a war and the enemies have virtual weapons.
