I don't think it's a good idea. Not for security but in case some arguing match happens, the shoutbox remains as proof of who said what.

I say make the protection for all nades except smoke. Maybe even gunfire too (if possible), each one configurable to a different time would be nice.

Grenades, incendiaries and 203s aren't needed for a while but in smaller maps, guns and smokes can be used pretty quickly. Same for RPG/BDM, especially on breachable maps.

As far as punishing, maybe just a warning to the user and a console message and disabling of the item. Global admin messages for all users shouldn't be used, it distracts from gameplay.

Here's a layout I came up with, trying to stagger spawns so that even if there are idles, you should be able to move around them fairly easily. I also moved all the spawns back behind the truck to give defense more time to get situated.

no no no, stop lying. your pro coder ELIZ told "we do vote and then implement it".

ofc but when your trying is "lets remove 203 from hosp, ppl will be happy and ASSIST.EXE will go to GLORY"
than i say "PASS, idiots"

got it?

There's plenty of things that he/we implement without voting. The whole 203 issue greatly affects the community but we didn't even vote on it, it was just done and now we're seeing the real world effects of it and letting users express how they feel about it. Nothing is a solid yes or no right now.

The thing is, while we do ask the community for their opinion with polls, there are many decisions that are made without community input. There are circumstances where community input is a good thing to have but you don't always have to let it rule the decision. You use the information gathered to make an informed decision about what you are trying to accomplish.

Did we listen when people said not to add AA3 maps? Did we listen when people said to remove the SAI?

No matter what you try to do, people will always complain. You need to listen to both sides, for and against, in order to understand what needs to happen and how best to move forward. Maybe you are taking the unpopular route but maybe there can be something done along the way to make it more acceptable for those that disagree with you.

Like I said, democracy isn't perfect but you can look at it as a tool. If used properly, it can be helpful.

Pit, your trollish attitude used to be cute but is just tiring now. I don't mind the flaming hatred towards myself and other admins, I've grown to expect that from you. But I also expect more; you're smarter than this troll behavior (at least I still think you are). You have a brain and you can articulate yourself better than you have been on here. Write some posts that have some weight unlike 90% of the people that have posted in this thread that are just whining and raging on each other.

I think the greatest feature and hinderance of Assist has been that the gameplay hasn't changed.

I feel like a lot of people have come back to find that everything's the same, the game they enjoyed is alive. Then there's people that come back and find the same thing but with a negative twist; it's stale, boring and predictable. Now that training is gone, I think that stale gameplay and map whores are the greatest threat to this project's success and growth. I've said many times, we should go through each and every one of the maps and refine them. Fix problems, move things around, eliminate glitches, add player slots and more. A lot of the official maps are fantastically built so the core wouldn't change but the tactics would.

Course, this is just my opinion, I'm a bitter admin whose out of touch with the playerbase and game. A lot of people will hate and rage for thinking this way but I ask this; do you have a better idea?
