[pubbers] Pub Question

cap limit... yes or no?


I was originally going to wait to enable it b/c admins currently have no control over each map's cap limit. But I've heard players mentioning that pubs are/might be more fun with the cap limit enabled.

No.

I wish you could enable cap limits on only certain maps. Emerald may go 15-1 than start to pick up as people change around their positions, while cavern is lame and needs a capout so we dont have to play it.

If you can make it map based, then yes.

afaik you can only enable it, you can't change the default map limits, and you can't have per map limits.

Well... don't bother then I guess...

About 700 additional players on at all times would really make the pubs kick.

It's hard to find a decent game pubbin'

f'n vivendi and their lack of marketing anything other than hl.

i don't think it's worth it if you have to set a cap limit globally :\

Hope that helps

I'm from the other camp. I only play pubs, I don't have the time to dedicate to clan matches & practice.

I'd rather have a global cap limit on all maps than continue playing for 20 minutes so one team can win 30-0 and the other team can get discouraged and quit halfway through.

YES! For God's sake, yes! Half the pub games end up ridiculously one sided with 10+ minutes remaining... Sure, people COULD switch teams... Sure, you CAN make a comeback from 15-1 on Emerald is the team up by 15 starts a circle jerk... but why not just move on to the next map and let everyone get back on track and refocused? There is a REASON why T1 and T2 had caplimits, and it just flabberghasts me that the default for T:V is to have them disabled.

Also, PLEASE bump up the time between maps... To play 20 minutes at the frantic pace of T:V and then only have 10 seconds to recover and NO time to comment on the ebb/flow of the match is just retarded. Tribes is a social game and there should be a little bit of time for bantering between maps.

So... YES on capouts, and 1 full minute between maps.

I'm going to try a cap limit of 10 on MoFo's Casa de Putas for the rest of this week and through the weekend. We'll see how it goes. As for the time between maps I currently have it set at 25 seconds, I think I'll bump it up a bit to 30. Thanks for the input guys.

On Arid the map just ended at the 8th cap. So either the suggestion you made doesn't work or T:V takes the lowest value between default cap limit and global cap limit.

Cap limit yes,, it keeps the total rape from happening..gets the stack and the map over wquick

I've always thought there should a mercy rule in the pubs... end the game when the /difference/ in scores is X. You don't want to end a great game that's neck-in-neck just because it's a high score. Sometimes you just have epic battles with a good mix on both teams.

OTOH, I've been in games that dragged on to 30-1 and was bored silly whether I'm on the winning side or not.
