RC2 New Chopper Limit Not Going Over Well

[JesseUCAVedYou]

So I discovered today through my amazing chopper gunner skills on Shangai that we now have a chopper cap of 35 kills per round.

This alerted everyone in chat when I hit 35 and it did not go over well.

Many of our constant return members do not agree with said limit, and some even said it makes the server look weak that we have to limit kills.

Now I understand that we have certain players who are ungodly skilled and can easily score 100+ kills per round with a chopper, but for people like me and your other average players who may get lucky and actually get 35+ kills it hurts us.

I'm personally not that great in a chopper so I feel successful when I get a high K/D in it.

Now if we are going to keep the limit we should definitely raise it higher than 35.

But for the time being many people who play on RC2 just don't like it existing, and these aren't even the players who are in the chopper most of the time.

Breath into a paper bag for now. Testing in process.

Just giving you feedback AND making a forum so people can express their opinions here for you to see.

Figured it'd be best for you to get feedback.

I bet the server stays populated longer and the only guys complaining are air farmers as I enjoy running around more than 12 sec. without getting hit by a helo 1200 meters away. Tell the guys that dont like the helo kill limit to come in and plead the case to raise it. I would like to hear the other side!!

Question, do less chopper kills ever lead to empty servers? Lets test that!!

The server looks full, the helo kill limits must not be in place yet.

Server usually always empties at night though. Even when the chopper farmers aren't in there. If you notice it never empties during the day when all the usual players are in there even with chopper farmers.

YEs they are

Just chill..We were just testing it.

Server rank has slipped 3 or 4 places to 11th. That’s a fact. So testing is in process to see if that changes. I seed this server every morning so you guys can play and enjoy a full population.

I know you do, boring as fk and I thank you. I am just saying if a a game is close it does not empty for the next round and will be easy to see if limiting helo kills will raise ranking, my history with getting servers into the top ten is limit players with 100+ kills and players enjoy it more than going 13-42 with those guys in.

Keep in mind I can turn it on/off remotely in Seconds from my phone. Not like it’s casted in concrete.

Seems to be pretty popular...lol

Like I said just providing feedback.

Personally, and I'm sure Sani would agree, one thing that could help with popularity is the map rotation.

Sure we have a great map rotation. Won't deny that, but we also have too many.

We hardly ever get to play the maps we want.

I've been at home for 3 days doing little to nothing and I haven't been on Pearl Market once, and I know it's in the rotation.

It's one of the more popular maps.

I believe a rotation that would honestly be popular, and this is based off of feedback in chat is:

Siege of Shanghai
Metro
Operation Locker
Pearl Market
Dragon Pass
Silk Road
Firestorm
Caspian Border
Whiteout
Zavod
Hammerhead
Propaganda
Lost Islands
Sunken Dragon
Operation Outbreak
Dragon Valley

These just seem to be the ones that everyone enjoy the most per chat reactions when they pop up.

Proof is in the pudding! Let see what population is like in the mornings and where rankings takes us....

How about that map rotation though?

To the admins,

I absolutely respect the fact that the server is paid for, run by certain people and the rules and views from those members will trump any other players. However, if i may, id like to add some feedback on this as i would consider myself to be a victim of this rule.

When i play, i play with team mates only. I NEVER play solo, its boring as hell. So i found some of the best players around, became friends and now game with those in certain vehicles. - Its no secret that i hate infantry only maps, or even playing infantry.

In a chopper, im gunner. I have good pilots.
In a boat, i have repairmen.
In a little bird, im repairman.
In a tank / lav i have gunners / repairmen.
This game is ALL about teamplay and I believe i play it just as it was intended.

This is one of the best servers around (now that the autobalance has been removed) and now this. Simply put, its a punishment for being good at something. Today i saw a squad mate of mine get admin killed for having too many kills from the chopper. Then another squad mate of mine got kicked and IMMEDIATELY temp banned for 36 kills in a jet?

The first issue is no warning. No "limit reached in 5 kills / 4 kills" etc, this would then give fair warning.

The second issue is immediate kick / ban. Totally uncalled for and especially towards regular players who populate the server.

Note: i have NO issue in the fact theres a limit in place. Makes the game more of a challenge, but lets do it the right way guys.

Looking forward to a debate on this; happy to discuss over discord also.


PS - Its not working on the boats; i got a 74 killstreak in that this evening.

Kano did you even read the thread or did some discord group just get you to come on here and post?

Please add the kill limit update into the game notification or server rules section, and specify which vehicles will this kill limit be applied. Just can't throw scripts into the server without letting the player know.

I have been spectating all afternoon and new scripts are working great and anyone that can see would see the limit being called out in chat. Just alot of guys that cant rape:hurt:

P.S. Scripts are working great, 2 thumbs up

Yes everyone can see the limit is said to be for helo in the chat. But in fact it applies to all air vehicles, and that couldn't be found anywhere in the script unless you ask an admin for clarification. Really misleading and doesn't seem to be a great idea for everyone who turn off chat.
