Roll the Dice Adjusting

[captainAngry]

I have been thinking about changing the RTD items to help elevate some of the problems it causes. The things I am thinking about getting rid of are NoClip and God Mode. They add too much of an advantage to the person who gets them. I think it is kind of stupid when a team wins because of luck and not skill. It is going to take a good amount of convincing to get me to change my mind but I figured I would start a dialog about it in case anyone wants to try.

As it stands now, they are disabled.

You have no fighting from me. No clip is crap especially on CTF maps. 1 person can win with one noclip if they are quick enough.

i would like slay to be removed it is kind of annoying when u get it when u need somthing better.also 1 other bad roll should be removed so good/bad rolls balance out.(even though i stil get plenty of the bad stuff as is.

I would like to defend noclip here, i think its really fun to explore with and whatnot when you get it but when people get it on ctf maps it IS no fun but it does come up too much, i say (if you can) just ajust it so that noclip and godmode and the other unfair ones come up less but noclip shouldn't be removed :|

How bout reducing the time of no clip and god mode to 5 sec so they panic and get stuck in a wall or something or pull a suicidal Leroy Jenkins....

I think this is a good idea. The commands that are active on the server right now are:
Good Commands:
* Constant UberCharge [medic only]
* Low Gravity
* Constant Cloak [spy only]
* Toxic
* Instant Kill
* Invisibility
* Team Health [medic only? Never seen it happen on the server]

Bad Commands:
* Beacon
* Slay
* Freeze
* Burn
* Timebomb
* Blind
* Drug

Neutral Commands:
* Rainbow

Technically the good/bad ratio is correct, however since three of the good commands are class specific it feels like there is more bad than good. If I were to pick two bad commands to get rid of my choices would be blind and beacon. I initially thought to get rid of slay but I think it helps balance some of the more powerful good commands.

Unfortunately there is nothing to change one specific effect duration, only the duration for all of the rolls. For example, I could make all of the effects last only 5 seconds but I couldn't make only no clip last for 5 seconds.

I don't think beacon is that bad unless your a spy or hiding behind a corner somewhere and I didn't know team heal existed (I wonder what it does )

I Love how burning Complains that everytime he rolls he Expoldes into Flames or the Server Deems him Dead and Slays him 90% of the time he RTD's ...

[captainAngry]

I have had a few requests to get rid of RTD all together or to remove instant kills. If I were to remove instant kills, it would make sense to just axe the whole thing. I'm thinking about it now.

[thedoghouse]

if people want to get rid of it they may as well just not use it. but i am finding it less fun and appealing with noclip removed

[bluephyr]

Then again people like lord john whorfin leave because of the rtd mod....

[captainAngry]

I talked to lord john and he was pretty happy after we removed no clip and god mode. There are other issues to why he isn't around so much.
