Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Note to testers: Don't even try to smuggle the armor out.

I will find you unless your joce or opyc

Fixed

Those haxz0rz wouldn't die to smite. I should just ban them.

Work on your aim

Not my fault crypt made me smite proof cause he loves me so.

Opyc was in a hole... I may not be great at aiming lightning but I'm not that bad.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Ok it seems the points are not always capturing, can we get a timer or some visual to see how long it takes. Also sometimes it would say we took it but it stayed grey, this can get very confusing.(or i would go to a grey point and it would say other team had lost it after standing on it for ages)

memrme disconnected during a bg and kept respawning there with no armour and wasn't counted as part of the match.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

I would advise not doing VotA at the moment due to all the bugs. I'm aware of most of those, so it's just a matter of getting some fixes in. Noted, nonetheless.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

ok i managed to break a few things with the help of zor. I /bg while in game and joined again as same team. Zor swapped teams when did this and ended up on both so couldnt capture points. Me and zor could also /queue and /arena challenge. I ended up losing my gear after all this too.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Many fixes this morning:

• You can now /leave while queued for battleground. This also works in the battleground to leave it.
• Disconnecting in the battleground will now remove you from it, restoring you to where you were when you log back in.
• Queuing bugs for arenas, bg's, etc while in the the battleground have been fixed.
• Player join and leave messages have been added as announcements to the battleground.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Can we implement a way to surrender? Or just a way to manually end the game.

 

[Cryptite]

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Yeah I could do some sort of situation where if one team leaves entirely, the game ends immediately. That or if the number of players in the game is less than 3, it ends after a minute or something.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Yeah that would suffice. Thanks!

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Changes:

• The artifacts will now light up in a progress-meter fashion to display capture progress.
• Added a triple-cap notification.
• Match maximum length has been increased to 20 minutes.
• Added a 10 second post-match wait timer so you have some time to think on your win or loss before getting returned to Loka.

Walk of shame please?

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Did you add the manual match end thingy?

 

[Cryptite]

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Not yet.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

A couple of suggestions, i think whilst in bg there should be a completely different chat to avoid spamming of chat and/or a team chat within bg. Also i think weather should be perma toggled to sun, rain can cause lag which is no fun in a pvp environment.

You people and your weather complaints.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Some people like it, some don't, but if a neutral artifact is nearly captured by one team, say one block away, the other team can run in and take it fully for themselves, by only being there for one blocks worth of time (i hope you understand all that). Is this deliberate?

 

[Zor95]

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

Rephrase:

All progress made toward capturing an artifact is neutral. Therefore, one team can do all the work and another can run in at the last second and capture it for their team.

I find it annoying.

Re: Battleground First Look: Valley of the Artifacts

That is a bug i'm aware of, but I couldn't decide whether I was ok with it or not, but I do see how it'd be dumb the way it is. I shall fix it.

I like it, means you can sneaky hide behind a tree and go in and bash them stealing their progress towards capture
