TheRoDent 07-31-2004, 09:05 PM My apologies if this has been answered before...
Is flag discing going to happen in T:V, or is it an immutable? Thanks in advance -Thrax/Irrational. Your responses are always appreciated.
WinterFreshX 07-31-2004, 09:09 PM Lol why does Thrax have to answer this question and why do you think that adding his name will get his attention?
Anyways, I think that flag discing is a negative.
TheRoDent 07-31-2004, 09:10 PM Let's look at this. Thrax answers questions regarding T:V in this forum. Occasionaly someone from IG will pop in. Duh.
And I don't need to add his name to get attention. Just the fact the MY name is here, will get attention. In addition I've found that on forums, and IRC, as in real life - people tend to respond when you address them straight up.
Go home "member".
Torks 07-31-2004, 09:13 PM I believe to have heard that flag discing is not possible in T:V
WinterFreshX 07-31-2004, 09:24 PM Yeah but the fact that there are hundreds of other ppl roaming the forums that could probably answer the question doesn't matter. You know what, I don't care, and not gonna fight about it.

Or ever planned to be, although i would like it.

And never will be.
Theta 07-31-2004, 09:30 PM Devs don't like threads with their name in the title, especially Menzo. If you made a thread "So, what do you think about flag discing?", there would be a better chance of a dev responding.

Okay "Veteran"
Full of yourself, aren't we?
some of you w/o a fucking clue apparently do not know that Rodent was the one who coded DefenseTurret
Thrax Panda 07-31-2004, 11:12 PM Jesus people. Somebody finally asks me a question in a polite way and he gets flamed by the rest of you?
Rodent, as already answered, you can't disk the flag around like in T2. However you can grapple it while it is in the field to return it, or to grab it (almost a requirement in Rabbit).

FSB-AO 07-31-2004, 11:39 PM Because disking a dropped flag into an enclosed space with no realistic means to bring it out until it is automatically returned is Good Gameplay.

That's one change I'm very happy to hear. I'm now 4-for-23. ;)

because thats the only thing a shootable flag is used for
FSB-AO 08-01-2004, 12:12 AM And nofog wasn't just to make it easier to see dropped flags and people, but to allow the user to see more of the breathtaking visual splendor in each map.
Please share the other uses found for a moveable flag.
Sir Lucius 08-01-2004, 12:30 AM Sooting the flag would be awesome if you were thr only one who could do it.
Having 2 or more people shoot the flag is random mindlessness. The only use would be for D to shoot the flag into the corner. Forget up discing for a pickup though.
KnightMare 08-01-2004, 12:33 AM I was able to retrieve many, many, many flags because of the shootable flag.For example when I kill capper and the flag lands on top of the stonehedge base and if I know I wont beable to get on the base in time to retrieve it because of too much momentum, not enough jets or if the enemy is about to pick it up.Im able shoot the flag off the base down to where Im going to be landing.
This is only one example on one map that Im able to do because of the shootable flag.And now will be nerfed for god knows what.

So grapple the flag instead.
