Some Very Serious Problems
« on: June 11, 2010, 11:58:58 AM »
The Redesign of the Flood Money Distribution Has Greatly Affected the Game in a negative way.  While I realize that It was changed to prevent Money Rounding, The Problems outweigh the benefits. The Main Problems Are:

1.  Since It takes a fair amount of wealth to be able to build a boat to win the round, And very little money is earned outside of winning the round in time, It is very hard for new players to accrue wealth. thus, "making the rich richer, and the poor poorer".

2.  It is No longer profitable to build boats unless you are the "biggest fish in the sea". Previously, even If you did not win, you could still get a reasonable amount of money by staying afloat for long enough, which could help compensate for building a boat. Now, if you take the risk of building a large boat, and do not win, you lose a fair amount of money, which discourages boat building.

3. Those Two Problems together lead to one rich player building a large boat, and no one fighting him, because if they lost, they would lose all their money. but the rich can afford to lose a round. so one rich guy builds a large boat unopposed, and everyone hops on for some measly cash. Exactly the situation this fix was trying to avoid.

Please Revert the Money Distribution System For the Flood Server.

All for, put  :)
all against, put  :(

I think the Losers should also get some Money, depending on how long they were alive.
But that wouldn't change that much for new players. It could motivate other players to fight the biggest fish in the sea though.

My Idea. Keep make it 3$ per second. At he end the player is reward with money by how much damage they have done.
If the player shoots a boat and it is the one it is the owner's prop that he is standing on, He gets -5$.
I think this will be a very good system since it protects the owner's boat from being shot at by the people on it. AND incurage ppl to fight.

pretty sure new flood is 1$/second, and there is no other way to get cash besides winning. And I have not noticed the "friendly fire" penalty.

He's referring to the recoded gamemode that's being produced atm.

OK thanks. Also, the ability to delete your boat in the fighting mode would be welcome.

Also have it refunded when you leave the server, as i have had my client crash, and lost large sums.

With rait gone, we really need prop protection now so noob russians will just phase through our props and not get on.
