Make arena server no crit. - Fatal_Error - Feb 19, 2009

Heya SourceOP admin folk,

I play in your server on the regular as it is one of the very few remaining Arena servers with a tolerable ping. I, and other frequent players only have 1 gripe, crits. Could you please disable the random crits on the server?

If you play in the arena server and would like crits turned off, please add a reply to this post. The more replies, the more likely we'll get a server based solely on skill.

I voted yes because random crits are pretty lame when you don't respawn.
I don't play arena mode but it pisses me off in sudden death. lol

I am a fairly competent player I'd like to think and I am in favor of crits staying in.

Crits at their previous state were fairly insane but after the outright nerfing of crit chance and the lowered maximum crit chance it seems much more fair.

Yes it does suck when a "less skilled" enemy soldier gets his once in a blue moon crawket and destroys your team but it happens. Its also nice to have a reward for doing well. The more damage you cause to the enemy team the higher your crit chance. The more crits the more damage you are causing. I love the momentum it causes (even when it is directed against me).

Voted accordingly.

I voted yes because I think Arena mode is mostly about skill (especially when its only down to a few people on each team), and not about how lucky the opposing team can be. Just earlier today at the beginning of a match a scout runs across the badlands map and lays a crit scattergun into my chest which kills me, and then runs in to crit bat someone else. To me, it's a little ridiculous that crits are in the game even to begin with. I don't mind uber kritz (yeah, I may be biased because I play medic a lot, but I also get killed by a fair number of them, too).

sigh.
I voted no for exactly this reason. Crits are in the game for a purpose - yes, you have a random shot of being randomly shot in the face with a crit as the round starts. But also recognize it's there as a reward for players that ARE using skill/strategy/combination-of-both during the match.
I hate making the analogy, but TF2 is like NBA Jam for the SNES - you have a chance of making a shot across the court, but it's a small one. Play well and 'You're on Fire' making that shot across the court better as a reward.

I enjoyed Hangtime more, esp. with the create-a-player feature.

Crits are a huge part of this game whether you like them or not. They were recently changed to do damage based on how much damage you've done within a certain period of time and were meant to be that way as part of balancing. They aren't game breaking in this server and anyone who's a regular here knows that. Half of the people posting here I never even see in the server to begin with and I'm on throughout all sorts of random times during the day/night.

There are tons of servers that exist with crits turned off in arena, you should leave this one the way it is in my opinion.

Any news on this, Drunken? The poll seems to indicate that people want them disabled. Just thought I'd ask, since I had some people asking about it today, I'm curious too.
