Killshooter off option for squads in DA
« on: June 26, 2006, 12:02:01 AM »
Ok, we used to have killshooter off in the DA and there was a good group of people in there who used to have a blast killing each other over and over without having to be on different countries and wait for the guy who got shot down to reup and travel a half sector or so.  

Then a few people came in and started messing around, not listening, being jerks, fill in the blanks, whatever.

Then the whines on these forums regarding this started.

Then the killshooter got turned back on.

My proposal is to allow the CO of a DA squad to check a box, or type in a ".squadkillshooter off" or whatnot, that will disable killshooter only for members of that squad.  If this would be permanent until unchecked or whatnot, so the CO wouldn't have to log in each time to make it happen, that would be great.

Killshooter would still be on for anyone not in the squad, but those in it could practice and have fun like the old days.

I'd assume most of the guys who enjoy the DA would find their way to these squads.  A problem I could forsee would be that squad's have a max of 32(?) people.  But if two CO's could also somehow elect to turn killshooter off for engagements between both squads, that would take care of that.

I understand that there are more pressing issues at the moment, but, maybe when CT is released and running, you could look into this or something similar?  I just really miss the old DA format, I know many others do as well, but at the same time I'm trying to think of a way that HTC won't have to deal with as many whines and headaches.  I think this covers a lot of bases, though probably not all.

Thanks,

Great idea.  Even better if the individual can turn it on or off for himself.  No need for a squad or the limit of 32. :aok

Yep, that would be better...  Really whatever option is easier for HTC to implement works for me :aok

Well, for the foreseeable future, it looks like we're going to have to stick to "first one to killshot?" :lol

^ Kinda stinks.  You start getting pings, and you lose YOUR flap, etc...  But, eh, what can you do?
