Stupid behavior

Post by LaPutaLoca » Wed 09 Apr , 2014 6:29 pm

Hi,

There is AS maps and race maps it's ok ;)

But i noticed something about race maps :

A lot of people can't even end them, or dislike them.
It's not really a problem, but the ones who reach the end point don't finish it.
They're waiting the end of the timer for that...

And they enjoy looking the other ones missing, waiting and being bored.
Sometimes, they even speak to let others know how noob they are.
Team-Spec*eiforia is one of them (no matter if admin or not)

The goal of race maps is to finish them as fast as possible, and not to look other ones missing the objective.

There should be a rule about that, cause this behavior is making people nervous.

Thx

I broadly agree with what you've posted and think that the maps should be changed in the following manner:

A volume just before the end which opens up the ability for players to vote to finish the map, with a message. If more than a certain number of players vote for finishing, the timer should then be set to 30 seconds. Deliberately not tripping this volume would be a bannable offense.

At the moment, each finishing player uses their own inconsistent and commonly unfair rule to determine when the map should end - some people will wait if only two or three people ask them to.

It was Ascend

And afaik its not forbidden to wait on trial maps. For other maps i look myself and ask people to finish if they wait near finish.

The maps are mainly Blazing Ones and Ascend.

It could work ;)

There's 2 solutions :

- edit maps to add such a rule
- add a rule in the Code of conduct to finish maps, or be kicked/banned

Thx for Looking :)

Yes, we only wait on Ascend and the Blazing maps. We never wait on competitive RACE maps (the bender races, for example) and we are now unable to wait on the other 'trial' maps through the implementation of the time mutator.

If we angered you through waiting, then I apologise. Others, however, still wished to attempt the map and no complaint, other than yourself, was made. We usually ask about finishing after a certain time (admitedly today we didn't, but that is not the norm). We will continue to do so in future.
“We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. Aye, we know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance.”

Because there's still use in removing the arbitrariness from waiting on maps. If the server is set up so that when a player finishes, the majority can vote for a forced end, there is no problem.
