To my knowledge this rule is in force so that minges who’s straddle the border can be dealt with. It’s meant to stop people who have nothing better to do than bait rdm warns. As far as setting a time or step rule, that’s pretty difficult to police. It’s 100% something you would need video proof to act on. Managers need to decide how they want this to play out. In my opinion this is a subjective rule in the meanwhile, as much as I hate to say it. If the player kills you an unreasonable amount of time after you leave, and out of spite, they should be punished.

Okay Obstacle Course and Construction make more sense now. It looked just like Taiga's landscape but with sand. Best of luck with the edits.

Taiga OBJ's on Deserts landscape I like it. Also the fog doesn't look nearly as cancerous as it currently does.

That's what I mentioned in the other post concerning nade nerfs. I feel that is the best way to solve the overall issue. The biggest issue with nades is that people are spamming them, not that they are killing people at unreasonable distances. The reason grenades seem strong, is because the risk of throwing all 7, or 12 if you used an F4 crate, is minimal. The only threat is that someone peaks you while you throw. However the biggest grenade cheeses are inside of comms and over the hills near TC, where the threat of being peaked is next to none. Comms especially is a snooze fest once two-three grenadiers get inside it's next to impossible to breach without a perfect grenade of your own or a snipe with a matador from the E hill. I think once we make people use their nades more sparingly by eliminating resupplies, we'll feel that nades aren't so broken. Yes they will still be potent, but they're meant to be. You've either paid $50 or you've not only made into a SOC/Spets, but then passed a tryout to unlock a grenade class.

I feel a little iffy about this. The number of teamkills would be a LOT. There would need to be a rule in place concerning punishments of TKing, if we have any hope of this fix impacting nade usage. Warns, bans, player frustration will all increase if this is the route we take. Yes explosive spamming is a braindead strat that I'm not a fan of. Yes it needs to be addressed and fixed ASAP. But I feel this solution is not the best route for us to take. Plus I think the coding for that would be just as difficult, if not more, than coding for the nade nerfs themselves. Head's in the right place but I don't think this is the solution.

+1 and referral NGL I’m shocked to see he’s 15 y/o. I was thinking he was 18/19. Very level headed individual who deals with stress well. Yesterday there was a shit show where 2GA interrupted our tryouts and he dealt with it swiftly and professionally. Would make a great addition to the team.

- Revamp Outpost into an objective of today's standards. At the moment it looks more like a location you'd be tp'd to for duels than an objective. Personally, I'd like something close to Chaharikar's (pardon my spelling if it's incorrect) Town. From the screenshots I've seen, it's visually appealing and presents multiple ways of attack. - Creating ambient sound is a good idea on paper. However the current CSDesert map pushes that idea a little too far. The wind/dust/howling whatever you want to call it, is just plain annoying to myself. Depending on the maps location, finding accurate and easy-on-the-ear soundbites would work out well. - I don't mind where the location of this map ultimately is, as long as we move away from the Forest/Jungle. An urban-esque sort of environment would be what I would most look forward to. Meaning that there are some parts of the map(Outside of Bases) with a modern touch to them. Like a Town from Chaharikar, like an ATTC from Old Taiga. I'd also enjoy seeing some unique and RP-worthy RU & US Outposts. The ones on current Taiga are decent at best, with RU being poor. I feel making those two buildings more significant with buildings suited to the maps location would add some more variety to what the players can do. - As far as an objective, I've thought something along the lines of an embassy would be cool. A large, singular building that would combine elements of both Construction and Company from the current Taiga. The building would be multiple stories and enclosed for the most part, with maybe a chunk missing due to a blast or what have you. The idea of having an objective and an urban building that promotes the use of CQC with AR's and SMG's is a breath of fresh air to me. I use and abuse the sniper meta just as much as the next guy but would be willing to try an OBJ like this out. - Looking at the macro-design as a whole, I think keeping the linear, even distribution is the right call. Have the bases in opposite corners of the map with primary objectives at 0 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. This isn't very organized as I was just spitballing ideas so I apologize for that.

@Shrood Same thing as earlier.

The map may be lasting longer than expected, may become a common change, and may even become the current map.

Makes sense. Personally I think Desert in its current state has its flaws as a map and I’d be open to seeing an updated version of the map. Ultimately my vote will go to whatever brings in the most players because 100 players on a map that’s moderately favored by veterans is better than 70 players on a map they love. At least imo.

Is the map that was teased 9/26 a no-go now?

I think you are genuinely remorseful which is good. Unfortunately remorse usually isn’t grounds to shorten a ban. That being said, I wouldn’t be against cutting it down but that’ll be up to the Operators.

I looked at kill logs and damage logs. He killed 3 times, killing two different people. Unfortunately I did not take a screenshot of the logs.

I banned him for massing recruits with a crow bar. This belongs in MRP Appeals

Good to hear. Disregard this post

I had spoken with Pencil about it circa 4 PST and I believe I even asked in staff chat and you had mentioned it was not the case at that time. Has that changed? @Ethan

Pretty simple, make the US gas station tunnels precap once it reaches 2 minutes to war. Something we can implement immediately.

@Blade I’m not super familiar with editing SWEP stats. Do any of those deal with damage falloff?

1) No 2) Yes 3) Yes 4) No 5) Yes 1) In it’s current state, this map is not that enjoyable. Like you mentioned, the Obj and Spawn balancing is abysmal. The glare aspect of this map is annoying but I guess that’s something I could get used to. The server is becoming more TDM than RP, you are correct. However there are still players/factions who enjoy and want to participate in the RP scenarios. Garnet mentioned that he could possibly do a massive revamp of this map to reach today’s standards. My vote is subject to change based on that overhaul but atm I’m not for reverting. 2) IF we do end up sticking with Desert and for the remainder of the event, this is a huge +1. Shits fucked. 3) Probsbly the 3rd or 4th post I’ve +1’d this idea. Slow people down and see #5 4) I said no but it’s an eh. I don’t think damage necessarily needs to be touched but the reduced accuracy and potency at range is something I support. To my knowledge only twin AR’s can one tap, the FAL and G3. All AR’s besides these two take 3, non headshot, bullets to kill. I think that’s fair given the current state of the hitreg, with all the 25% damage shots that land. The accuracy and effective range changes get +1’s from me. AR’s and SMG’s should receive a more severe drop off in damage and accuracy past their designed in-game range. 5) Yes, regardless of the map. Makes for more interesting wars. Enter suggestion #3 if we nerf movespeed / remove redbull, there needs to be another change to help balance objective capturing.

I’ll never pass up a chance to visit Shrek’s Swamp. A 4-day throwback sounds fun

I hate to beat a dead horse but is giving Frogmen access to “U” Radio more difficult than it sounds? Because if so I’ll stop bringing it up. The update itself is top tier. So kudos on that

-1 That’s just an example of an Obscure KOS Sign, not the ONLY thing prohibited by that rule. What you did was clearly meant to be obscure and bait people into being KOS.
