Stocks 4 Medic Ubercharge Handicap

[Zephyr 14]

Mana,

A few months back, we noticed that medics were starting with partial ubercharges. I think you said that was an accident, and you turned it back down. That problem seems to be back. Could you turn off the handicap or at least turn it way down like you said you did last time?

Backing this up again. Would like a fix ASAP.

Aye, we be gettin this on payload uk too..

IIRC, this is a feature designed to help with one team steamrolling another team, and possibly spawn camping them (a frequent happening on Stocks 2)

This is rarely a problem on Stocks 4. Most of the regulars will switch to balance the teams if this happens - we don't need the handicap.

In the multi-thread I posted the link to the thread from last time. Stocks 4 does not need this script. We prefer not having it. People will team-change to even out the teams on our server.

I believe Stock Maps 4 is having a problem, every time I attempt to join it says it has 32\33 slots open, but its starts to join and then stops and throws the error, "Server is Full."

Anyone else notice this issue? Or does the server just hate me. (Probably the latter.)

[Krash 1,040]

Doesn't it keep that slot open for donors so that it doesn't always kick the highest ping? Servers max slots is 34 right? 32 guests + 2 donor slots?

[Spartan_0214 18]

32 players max, unless there are donators on the server, in which case it's 34 max. If it returns server is full, the server's full.

bump, this is still a problem.

Yesterday while playing on Coldfront, first round of the game, Blue had 3 CP, red 2, and blue was getting bonus uber charges. That is not working as intended in the first place, much less something that we really do not want on Stocks 4. We do not have a team stacking/steamrolling problem that other servers might face.

Ontop of that, the horse has to go. It does not make any sense in the terms of the game, and ruins the vanilla feeling of a STOCK server.

Please, Mana remove the bonus uber charges and the horse. Please!

Agreed! Even though Xod has the "Flex Capacitor Uber Medi-Hack" and refuses to share it with anyone (selfish bastage), we do balance out the teams when needed. Most of the regulars (myself included) will switch to even things up. So this script is "Not" needed!

[Spartan_0214 18]

I've played on Stocks 4. You still need it.

As a frequent medic, I would agree with the others, and would request that the partial ubercharge be fixed.

If you wish to help steam rolling just add a partial Zephyr, Mojo immunity

Thanks

I strongly disagree. I have played stocks 4 for over 250 hours, I can't even recall a time where spawn camping/steamrolling was vicious and noone switched teams to even it out.

I agree with the rest of the posters about removing the partial ubercharge/charge handicap/precharge. The vast majority of players who play on Stock 4 consistently would simply switch teams if the teams become too unbalanced or the scores become too lopsided.

The precharge is NOT welcomed by the vast majority of us regulars. Please remove it, Mana. Thanks.

Spartan, are you a regular there? If you are, you should know that if teams become too unbalanced or the scores become really lopsided, Zephyr and a whole bunch of other players (including myself) would simply switch teams to make it more fair. 99% of the time, the teams auto-correct by themselves without any outside interference. Yes, it sucks on occasion to be on the losing team especially when the teams are stacked. But as stated before, most of us are fair-minded enough to switch teams.

The precharge is simply too unbalanced and unreliable. Why do I get a precharge as a medic when my team has 3-4 capture points and we're steam-rolling the other team? It doesn't make sense. In addition, we didn't request the feature. Why should the regulars (such as myself, Zephyr, Xod, Ziggy, Dranearian, etc.) be stuck with this unwanted feature when we didn't want it in the first place?

Anyhow, I hope Mana reconsiders this feature and removes it soon.

Yeah, I agree that Stock 4 doesn't need this handicap. It should be removed.

[Repth (Hatred) 2]

I would also like for it to be removed stocks 4 is nothing like stocks 2 there are so many really good regulars, that the teams are almost always balanced and as ppl have pointed out when there are harsh team imbalances we team switch to fix that, and i would like for it to be removed please

all i want inna server is that its not modded with anything that changes game play things like the cart being a horse i can deal with but this ubercharge "buff" i personally dont like.....

[Xod 1]

My opinion holds same as the last time this came up.

Take it off. We don't need it.

In addition - The algorithm is flawed. I was on the team that was doing the rolling and I was STILL getting the buff.

Yeah.. Today.. team was down 6-5.. and we were getting 34% uber charges... Really? 6-5 is a steamrolling and one of those teams needs a pre-charge?

I know you've read this, Mana..

[FunkyFresh 68]

I know you've read this, Mana..

He really hasn't, lmao. Give it a week. Or a couple days now that this thread has become more..popular..

[Krash 1,040]

If because of this youre getting hammered with ubers do it the nabby way, compression blast their dicks off.

[Spartan_0214 18]

Mana's probably read it, just:

[DarkTechNo 1]

Stock 4 has a group of people who like to play close games that are fun for everyone because they are challenging, this new script makes that pretty impossible. Yesterday on dustbowl both teams continuously steamrolled eachother back to back on attacker side. Defense was impossible with ubers every minute, and not just 1 uber, 3 at a time.

[Repth (Hatred) 2]

i still think it should be removed
