I think TTT is 100% ok, theres no giant problems... i dont se ewhy a thread like this is needed lol

*i dont see why*

The problem is there are people who feel TTT with perm karma (since that's what this thread has become like EVERY OTHER TTT THREAD), is absolutely unplayable, that being said there are also those who feel the opposite being temp karma is absolutely unplayable. Lastly there are those who care but will play either way and just want the incessant bitching to stop. I will say this though if ever we try out temp karma it needs solid vote, there is no way in hell I'm going to keep kicking the same person for the same 10 minute period each time only to have them come back and continue to cause havoc when I could simply ban them for an hour after they come back the first time.

Maybe try reading more carefully?  There are some issues that need resolving - from tweaks that will make the game more enjoyable without breaking what already works, to very real security issues.

The security issue was known, the regular servers were protected from it, however it had just gotten missed during the setup of the temp servers.

To be fair to boogschuttertje, the thread title is  "What needs to be done to fix TTT" He is correct the server is not currently broken.


There are however a few smaller things that can be done to improve the servers, but honestly, there is always things that can be done to improve the servers.

just another thing. i think the karma system is PERFECT. it makes just single rdm dangerouss, ttt is more fun when killing is a risk. i thik the only problem with our ttt is just a lack of traitor weapons.

if you've ever been a victim of attempted RDM or traitor baiting, this is not the case

 I think there are some big gameplay things that need tweaking - and one is the fucking hitboxes.

A number of players here have been having issues where they - with more than enough karma - headshot people with either a deagle, or a shotgun - and it doesn't register, either missing them, or just damaging them instead of one-shot-killing.

It... is... a... royal pain in the ass to lose your T round when somebody doesn't die because the hitboxes are messed up, and don't register a properly executed one shot kill.



Also, I do think we need to have VIPs on more often, lately it seems a number of idiot newcomers are coming in per week making it hard to enjoy TTT [and many more players who stay, and contribute to a good game ./ gaming atmosphere as well - don't want to leave them out ]


Also, can we please stop all the randomly-calling-out-people things, the as-detective-destrying-another-detective's-health-station-while-he's-using-it, and all that migning bullshit?  It makes it very hard to actually enjoy the game.

Terminal what you are asking is for players who do not even know we have a forum to stop being annoying.

Something tells me they're not going to stop just because you ask.

Some of the people I'm indirectly looking at post here - very infrequently though.

The only successful deterrant to this kind of behavior is  punishment.

Otherwise it will continue to run rampant and unchecked, as it does now.

Unfortunately any hope of balance will, IT SEEMS anyways, have to look towards the return of the "real" rNd servers in the coming months.  Last thing I want in the interim though is for this server to become as bad as CoreStrike or Pub-Gaming, both of which are gone now, but were full of hackers, RDMers, cheaters, and not an admin in sight - nor any ranks that allowed some power to non-admins to deal with problem players.

If it makes any difference my router/computer should both be fixed by Friday so I'll be back, I like to think I'm strict but regardless pm a vip/admin I'm willing to bet a good 75% of them are willing to go to ttt for 5 minutes to deal with trouble makers that's what I used to do.

Travelsonic's right, this stuff has a HUGE impact on how we play, and really deteriorates the games fun.

I was on another TTT server the other day, and it had a 'VoteKarma' Feature.
Essentially if you killed an RDM'er or lost allot of karma wrongfully, you could give a vote which would reset your karma to 840
This would take a large majority of the server to approve it, and we could even make it so you cant do it unless a regular or VIP or whoever is on. Opinions?

from my expierience it takes a pretty sierious rdm-streak to get an entire server's attention, but it wouldnt hurt at all
