Thread: Base Raping

The bitching and whining will be less because the map Strike at Karkand doesn't have any jets and helos which is pretty hard to kill when they are at your uncap BUT Strike at Karkand the players won't need to deal with jets and helos but only deal with armor which is easier for them to destroy.

Again, I am positive that if the admins changes the priming map to "Strike at Karkand" that the server will prime faster and the "new fallout" will come back to help priming the server because it would be less frustrating for them to do so.

What you're screenshot shows me Kill is that you were in the su-34. You just killed larry8 a few seconds ago with the su-34, and I shot you down in the area of the airfield.

I think you blew this out of proportion. You failed to mention when you were on the us side your team was attempting to rape... Terranator and I ran you guys out of the airfield. I think you and your team were to worrried about getting your flight time in rather than working as a team to cap flags.

Looking forward to whatever map is decided on to prime.

What ever map you decide, your base will be attacked. It is inevitable to try and think it wont. If everyone just played the game and looked past it, then all the problems would go bye bye. Ohh and I have done my fair share of base raping and the few people claiming to be saints are actually the worst sinners here.

got plenty of flight time and i still suck at it CC, but that's not the point...and once and for all ,I DONT BASERAPE DURING PRIME TIME

In my experience with priming, Oman has been the most successful map. It has toys to play around with until there are 8 people on to start a game, which is nice to keep primers occupied. This attracts people who want to learn how to fly. Obviously, like all air maps, it has potential for severe pain for a team that is outclassed. That's why we have this discussion. But it happens on all maps.

Karkand is a really shitty priming map for two reasons. No one wants to play Karkand 4-4. So only dedicated regs prime. It takes forever. And you can't be capped out in 4-4? Please. It happens all the time. Mec are cornered in Warehouse, in rolls apc's and tanks, and it's goodnight. If you're lucky people stay for next round. Next round USMC can't get a single flag. Round takes forever and is total pain. Server dies and you prime again.

The reason Oman is chosen is that it is the most popular of the maps that are balanced in terms of uncaps and assets.

Also, this particular problem is mostly experienced by average players (deep down we know who we are). The best players on this server (among them Gato) are mostly on the side doing the pounding, since their (air)skill alone tips the scales in the favour of their team during 4-4. So they don't usually have the same perspective as us mere mortals. They have magic apc's and other easy fixes. The rest of us get raped. And pray to punkbuster for help.

And thank you Dex.

You've got a good point there Wolverine!

That was good for a laugh or two

Yeah, i do not favor base raping in a fully populated game. With that said, yes i have been guilty of partaking in it before, but will not take part in it during server priming ever!, its stupid because you are asking for rage quits... that could easily lead to a ghost server.

IMHO, base raping during a low populated server priming is not a sing of good player judgment, as it shows you care more about your score than generating a healthy server for every one to enjoy.

I also agree about Oman being a good map for priming, its a fun map that has a lot to offer for new and old. People just need to abide by the honor system, and restrain from base rapping during low population server priming.

This is coming from someone who does not play anymore and is still pissed that he was burned from my admin abuse claim. You’re no longer an admin, right? What you talk about was from 3 years ago and the priming has changed since then. Thanks for the cheap shot, your averaging 1 post a month for the past 3 months. I thought you were better than that.

2nd that, Oman can be the second map.

This is coming from someone who does not prime the server! Ask Deathgod, I think he primed the server for 5 hours the other day. I’m sure this had nothing to do with the map rotation.

I’ve been called worse by better people. You type like I care. I gave you my idea for a rotation that received no comments.

Well then invite me back! You sound like a hypocrite just like Blue and your opinion of me is meaningless now. AFter all this BS, I think it would be fun to be an admin.

And a new rotation is coming soon......

Why, does the current rotation blow? It has not been a month yet. Why would you change it?

Your god dam right I did and I am better at it than most. Like I said, sometimes a message needs to be sent in a non forum point of view and this happened after I made a public plea that it be changed. Which is more than I can say for most around here. You know what they say, if you can’t beat’em, join’em and that is exactly what I did to send a message. And it made it this far, which is further than most.

I’ve heard this before! ANything to get the server populated sooner for the benifit of the server and the players who play here.

Sorry for the misinformation and the kick/warnings will seise for attacking uncaps. However i would like to add that as many have noticed and stated we are all trying to play the game of which doesn't start until there is enough people on the server. Please use a little common sense and look at who is playing. Those new guys are not up to the skill level you are use to playing with.

Day late and a dollar short kid. The rules are set in stone.

1st tell me something I don’t know. This just tells me that you are new here and do not know about my crusade to change the base rape rule on OMAN.

In the end, that’s all it is, a dying video game and a dying server.

We have 10 pages of this and many more threads about base rape and priming. How many more do we need before a message is sent. I just hope it is not too late.
