Holy that had to be one of the longest and most fun CTF events I have ever played in!

I think there was 6+ people each team, bases were really well defended, people had to use teamwork to raid a base and get a flag and we nearly made the match extend until the time limit until green team pulled a win within the last 2 minutes before they were about to end it via time limit.

Insane amounts of fun, hope to see some more of these matches in the future guys.

The teams that win CTF are the ones that actually play like a team. The teams that have their own agenda are always the teams that lose. Very simple.

Yeah I dunno about fixed. Some people do team stack because they haven't fixed it yet (not sure why tbh) and in general most people that play have no idea what they are doing. None whatsoever. So even only two people working together can have a huge impact on a match. And what's even better is starting a match through the battlewell when you have a good group online. A few of the people at the top of the leaderboard did that.

Nothing is fixed, just needs fixed. Need to add a one or two minute cooldown on quitting and rejoining and to not be able to see teams from the battles menu.

As it stands though, it's rare to find people going to great lengths to game the system and it's really pretty pointless because [eventscore is a huge joke on UOF. CTF can still be plenty fun and that's what we should all focus on.

Most of the games I've played recently have people leaving, rejoining, leaving, rejoining, leaving, rejoining.....

Make all the snide comments you want, that says more about you than me.

Yes, that's what I said.

'It wasn't fixed like most games recently.' Meaning that most games I've been a part of have been fixed.

Which is why I said, 'Most of the games I've played recently have people leaving, rejoining, leaving, rejoining, leaving, rejoining.....'

Pretty much what Swayze said, it's all about teamwork I always try and start a party and try and get everyone else on my team to join up to be able to communicate and have eachothers bars and work as a team.

Assume a leadership roll, ask people quickly what they prefer to do assign a few defenders or flag cappers depending on your numbers and if you want to win then step up and start issuing orders, not saying every single person will abide or follow your lead but the more people who listen and work together will give you a much better chance of winning.

You will see some people leaving and rejoining, more people in bigger guilds who are trying to team up with their friends and be able to cross heal, call drops and work together more then most of the time it doesn't work and you end up battling against your buddies anyway but the odd time it does work is fun would be nicer if you could QUE as a Party and have it stick you and your party on the same team.

I'm sure you've found that almost everyone who joins events is just running around mashing buttons. Which is a LARGE PART of what the events and provided gear are about...getting people in there to mash buttons and figure stuff out. But it makes for messy matches. Which is great if the end result is a long drawn-out match where every team sucks equally. However I have definitely seen the result of team-stacking ending a match in five minutes. Just cap cap cap cap cap done roflpwned. I've been there, done that. Several times. It's not even that fun to do it, it is certainly not fun if it is done to you.

You know what is fun though? Being in comms with a good friend of yours who is on the other team, fighting them, and talking shit when you kill them or cap their flag. You can do that too. And you should do that from time to time especially considering the fact that, again, [eventscore is a long-running joke on this server.

Sometimes you don't have a choice even if you are trying to get on a certain team, so there's no gaurantee of team-stacking. It helps if you understand the sequence of team placement, know where to look, have someone to look for you to tell you when to join to hasten the join process...but you still have to time your join properly. So team-stacking is not a lock but it isn't too hard.

Let's review:

So while yes it is not a bad thing for teamwork and communication in a team-based game, it really does have the potential to lessen the fun for the rest of the people in the CTF. AKA the majority.

And we do want the majority to have fun, don't we?

Like I said it doesn't happen ALL the time and honestly just because you paired up with a friend or two of yours doesn't mean you aren't going to fall face down repeatedly during the match. Being able to use max gear means you can still kill people 5v1 and laugh in their faces while you do it. Been there, done that as well. Entire teams cannot stop one determined player sometimes...that is just CTF for ya.

@Swayze I know we talked about getting some of the timers and scoring fixed and nothing really happened with that, but can we finally get a delay added to rejoining to prevent team-stacking please?

It has only been a request of basically the entire community for two years now...plspls :)

And rightfully so!

Should only take a minute though. Fixing some of the wait times and durations of specific events would also be pertinent now because not only did Jenna say we should be seeing more events being kicked off by staff...we actually are!

Couple small changes now will have meaningful impact down the road.
