Should there be a text message at the start of the game when high bounty mode is selected stating:
"High Bounty is only provided for fun, it is not meant to be balanced"
or something to that effect.
I am sick and tired of hearing people bitch on the forums that some aspects are not balanced on high bounty, or that there should be the addition/removal of stuff to support high bounty mode.
If we are putting a disclaimer onthis mode, why not put one on all other modes as well? If you are playing something in any custom mode, you are tweaking settings that may affect balance. High Bounty does not need a disclaimer, Custom Mode does
What about if for each custom game mode option a sheep of a different color were added to this little farm area? and if the option is not chosen then the sheep explodes leaving only the ones that represent the chosen game modes. Then if hold your mouse over the sheep there could be disclamers or descriptions of the modes.
Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?
See that is the thing, it should not be a problem. Do not play the game if you do not want to, and you certainly do not need to try and argue with someone who says anything regardless. Never once in all of the HB or normal games I have played have I ever ehard someone talk about the game not being balanced.
Custom Mode by its very title implies that you are customizing the game to a tailored preference or desire. This does not need a disclaimer, nor does any other mode. The start up text that shows which mode is selected, etc is just fine in my opinion.
...Never once in all of the HB or normal games I have played have I ever ehard someone talk about the game not being balanced.
The problem isn't people bitching in-game, its people bitching in the FORUMS. I see numerous threads in regards to:
We need more uber items - these would only get used in HB games, there are too many of these to link
High bounty gets imbalanced late game! - http://forum.btanks.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1834
We need a new commands that will only get used in HB! - http://forum.btanks.net/viewtopic.php?f=...726#p24726 and so on.
People should stop wasting their time and energies trying to make HB better, it is not and never will be a balance-adjusted gamemode.
We do NOT want Exodus and the other programmers/betatesters wasting their time adding/balancing features for HB.
Well I don't believe Exodus has wasted any time making HB better. If everyone seems to think that this one game mode has to have a disclaimer, I simply feel that you should put a disclaimer on Custom Mode, because then ALL extra options have been taken care of. Why label this one currently, only to have another need it later. Personally I think writing the disclaimer, while trivial, is a waste of time. If you want to, at least stick it in the proper place.
I wouldnt rename the mode to 'noob' mode that would just be mean to everyone who plays 'noob' mode.
I also dont think a disclaimer is necessary. If people are complaining about balance of HB on the forums, perhaps make big post that everyone will see, saying that hb isnt balanced. As long as everyones happy.
This is really a suggestion but it fits in here:
Allow an option or to disable HB on tank kills. Honestly, in pub games i target the weakest/noobs and get hell fed. If the HB hero bounty were removed (normal hero bounty), then feeders will not ruin the game as much.
Then again, it might not have much of an affect, but it would definitely reduce the feeder problem in HB which a LOT of people play.
People shouldnt pretend HB is just a noob or 'for fun' mode, i just see it as a slightly different game (and adjust accordingly, i never have much of a problem)
See what you said was "destroy" which wouldnt be right... Feeders will have LESS of an impact in hb games. You cant 'remove' the feeder problem. This way, one side doesnt get massive gold advantage early on before the (inevitable) kick of the feeder.
Then again, everyone would get less gold from hero kills..
