[GMST] [1.00] Capture the Flag

Lol its so funny to see the only hype caused by this patch comes from the JMS content.

You're so lame NexonNA. Why don't you give up on developing unique stuff to GMS and focus on keeping the game clean from haxers and bugs? What you say ? because developing cr@p content once a year every other year is cheaper? Oh classic Nexon...

All nexon does: TROLOLOLOLOLO

It's dinamic, it changes with the game. Or at least it should. So technicaly it's updated.

Is it bad that I'm completely thrilled with the mount changes and the monster book? Honestly I don't care about PVP, but I've been wanting that monster book since it was announced in jms

Fix'd spelling, and the question is, will it stay updated? And how reliable will it be?

When they mentioned something about a Capture the Flag mode in PvP, i thought they were going to work on it.
But thought about it as an extra feature on the update, NOT the update itself.

Seriously, it's been 5 months since that contest, and it seems like they really forgot about it, or they were stupid enough to pick that idea from someone else with all the entries.
Really, i kind of expected this, since it has been pretty common lately. :|

It was updated for me. I went to Triple-Rumo and it listed Angelic Blessing as a drop.

I still think the CTF game is stupid. This is their sole exclusive content. You're telling me that they worked months on a game that doesn't seem that balanced at all? You can have any class with superior mobility basically win the game. There isn't a point in bringing warriors or Archers or Buccaneers, who have crap mobility (in comparison to any character with a flash jump or a teleport skill). And they can't defend anything because you can't kill the enemy character fast enough unless you can catch up with them and they lag like crazy (as most people should). If it were me, I'd have made it more like a real capture the flag:

Make every character the same speed- it evens the playing field. Not 100% speed, but maybe 110% speed and 110% jump. Haste type skills (and maybe mobility enhancers like FJ and tele get nerfed a little bit/cooldown) are limited to the characters that own the buff (goes for decent haste as well). This provides an advantage as in real CTF- some people are faster than others, but there are other people who are better defenders.

Keep the platforms as it makes things more challenging- but make it 1 touch (using the normal attack so you have to be in melee range instead of a range character just sniping the person). The flag is dropped exactly where it is and either party can pick it up. Invincible to tags for 2 seconds so people can't just spam the attack button and make each other drop the flag indefinitely.

You can kill any person on your side of the field with any skills that you posses. Killed person goes to Opponent's "jail" at the top of the screen, accessible by staircase instead of floating plats. If the player can get to the jail without dying, they get auto-tele'd back to their goal with the person who has been in jail the longest. You cannot send someone to jail when you're on their side of the field (obviously). HP/def based like PvP.

To win get the most flags into your goal as possible in the allotted time. after each flag is won, the flags reset.

I don't know about you guys, but i think mine would be more challenging than Nexon's (too challenging perhaps for most people). I guess that's why Nexon didn't make it like a real capture the flag game.

I haven't played a single PvP game so far. Looks like I won't be changing that!

I concur. This looks more boring and awful than I ever could have imagined. Really, what could be fun about this?

*looks at sleepywood Q&A*

Looks like at least 1 person would think CTF is fun...

nexon should have made it so whoever has the flag cannot attack/use skills and walks with like 80% mobility

I'm more excited about the new Monster Book...

for me, CTF will be like PvP / Ice Knight: I play a couple times, just to finish the quests (or get enough emblems for a shoulderpad) then I'm done. Let the hackers and grinders eat it.

Well, that's why I'm disappointed - CTF will be just one more useless feature after a few weeks, and parties probably will also become harder to reunite (this is already happening btw...), leading it to an obsolete state, like some PQs.

Like every channel is crashing
Again

Totally agreed with Sarah. It can be frustrating for a person to try to get a card only to have the mob hunted 24/7. I can't imagine how hard it is to find a Mushmom in Scania. Jesus Christ.

not very hard since BB, found several in my noobs, people don't really camp there anymore.

I am not disappointed in this. Nexon promised us exclusive content. This content is promised as part of the Chaos cycle. 1/5 of a patch cycle is not a huge release. It would be most reasonable to expect that the GMS exclusive content would be PART of the Chaos cycle. Since 1 PvP mode was Part 4, it's not unreasonable to have another PvP mode be part 5. When some one tells me that I am getting 3 gifts for Christmas, I don't expect any one of them to completely outvalue all the rest. If we got a full masteria update, it would make the rest of Chaos look like trifles.

At any rate, I am betting that all this Monster Book data is simply that: Data. I bet it won't be active until Fall in a 'back to school' update. Then you'll all rage hard.

Too imbalanced - expected from Nexon America.

Like 3 other PvP modes aren't - And those are made by Nexon Korea.

Can you launch your own teammates with rush and whatnot?

If you watch the video, you have high mobility classes FJing around like its no tomorrow. Since everyone is moving constantly your rarely going to die and will end up with a very low score getting little exp. Plus once you grab the flag it's impossible to stop that person unless your team has the other team's flag (Some chance).

Nexon's reply?

We're so stupid so we are going to ignore your post on our forums and ban you.
