Objective Request...

[Cryflex]

Hi,

I guess this will be for someone like Socio, Calp... etc. I was playing Ascend with DaveTheBarbarian, Dildo and a few others and thought of a pretty nice objective that would be interesting to have made.

I was about 8 levels up and had lost my car so I asked Dave to get a few cars out into the middle so I could jump and land in one by timing pressing e at the right time, I managed to do it (I'd done it before so I knew it was possible) and we spoke about it.

Basically, the objective that I'd like to see is a platform really high up where people spawn on and they have to jump off the edge, avoid certain obstacles while "free falling" and then at the bottom the first person to get inside a car wins that objective. If you time it wrong, you die on landing.

Is this doable and what do you think of it?

Thanks

With full health, you can survive any depth of jump with the use of a shield gun; so, without adding some kind of damage volume it isn't really very viable.

Lies. I thought LDG customer support was based in India? In which case, nothing would be discussed, the request would end up on someones to-do list, forgotten about.

Of course it is in India. It costs 3x less and they're willing to be up sucking the customers' dicks at night as well

Thank you! Most customer support agents read a script requesting you try this that and the other even though all you're doing is giving a suggestion/request

Good point, I didn't think of that. What about making the objective require full health or making it so if you stand on the floor you die, but cars are invulnerable? I don't know how hard that is to add in UT or even if that is possible? Just some thoughts.

What about making it so everyone is standing on a platform, the platform hurts them all a little and then the platform moves out the way dropping them all to the floor, if no one survives the drop then they respawn into a holding room and then they get teleported to the objective again, again hurting them, dropping them... etc

You could even make it so if no one survives the drop then no points are handed out, it's a lost/failed objective for both teams.

I had one of those try that with me last week, I had a lot of fun playing dumb with trying to find things like the windows button, all the time I was just stalling so that I could clone a virtual machine, I provided them access to it, only to surprise them with the operating system being Ubuntu instead of Windows to which I got "what sort of broken operating system is this, you told me it was windows 7" so I replied with "Yes, it says windows 7 ready on the sticker on the computer case"

He passed me off to his manager and she got aggressive with me, screaming and shouting down the phone at me for wasting their time. I need to record it next time it happens because it was hilarious.

The player can start with 75 or so health, that way the shieldgun won't matter.

Yeah that would fix it, didn't know you can start players with reduced health. In that case, either a platform for respawning or just constant dropping would work.

Theres a million and one trials maps where you fall through objectives. Better to just add a vehicle to the bottom of one.
