Regenerating intel after some time

Got a great new idea for the game?

Regenerating intel after some time

Postby lalorobot » Fri Aug 31, 2012 9:46 pm

Intro:
Put the intel back in the base after 5/10 seconds!

In depth:
So sometimes the intel just gets in the midle of the map and is a bit frustrating so why not after 5 or 10 seconds the intel goes back to the base!

I was going to make a thread similar to this, but not 5-10 seconds man that's a little to short.

+1 for suggestion -1 for the OP time limit.

Should be a script and configurable with the server.
so yeah, this could be a script.

Why not when the team defending the intel gets close to it, it goes back to the base? Kinda like King Arthurs Gold.

Even better, if a teammate goes through it/stands on it, it would go back to it's original position.

I like this idea. Though I think that getting the intel from halfway after teamate drops it is very...errr...dramatic and makes it pretty entertaining. But anyways, +1

This is something that I believe was scripted into pyspades a while back, but as you can see it didn't catch on.

I think the problem is that with Ace of Spades, it's already difficult enough to get to the enemy base, and even more difficult to get the intel and make it out alive. The current offensive strategy is to 'move it as far as you can before you die', so having a reset would make for some really long games.

Nice idea on the outside, but for gameplay it would be bad.

I agree with TGM. Let's say you spend so much time trying to destroy enemy intel tower and you finally got it although you got shot in the middle of the map. Your team failed to get the intel and it went back to the base. It would make the game a lot harder not even talking about people that build in spawn or people that don't even know what intel is and what to do with it.

A minute timer is enough, its annoying how its pretty much lost after a certain point no matter how well you defend it.

Yeah I agree maybe make it as a server option?

hmm. there could allways be the option of picking up your own teams intel... but that would cause grief if somebody takes the intel when it is not necesarry... so my solution would be that the intel moves 1-2 blocks back in the direction of the base if you touch it. seems ok?

No the idea is that the intel gets back to the base within some time not that you can pick up your own intel.
well now I have a better idea for this the intel stays in its place when it is dropped and a teammate can stand on it and after some time it goes back to the base
