New pub system (TW-Pub1)

[Saver1]

Amazing this lt detector, love it before seeing it! And thanks for the cheaper superlev too.
I hope !immunity could be little longer, there's already so many dangers for lt.
One wish... slow down the thor.

Bots can be killed, it depends of its configuration. If you want to know, PM the bot. It will tell you if its killable or not, etc..

New update

• The command !tileset should now work properly.. save your favorite tileset (boki/monolith/bluetech).
• New LT detector : As soon as a lev attachs a ter and stay attached for more than 5 seconds, FREQ 0 and 1 are alerted about a new LT around. If you kill a LT with a lev (need at least 30 bty), you get 2x its bounty in money.
• Along with this new LT detector, the command !lt
• To help LT, superlev is now $2k instead of $3k.

while i respect alot of the effort you've put into this game does it ever cross your mind that tinkering this much with gameplay is wrong ? that it becomes a personal thing were the few inflict their ideologies of what TW should be about on the masses ? yet we all played this game for years ... from the outside this seems to be turning into distension

a constant bug fix, never ending new feature roll out were it becomes more about playing god and inventing great new ideas to code than the actual game itself.

said the same thing to qan and i respected him but again meaning well and putting alot off effort in doesn't allways benefit the community and the game

[roxxkatt]

people said the same thing in metal gear, and they listened

isnt mg doing well now?

[kthx]

Hows distension zone doing?

Buddy?

[Arobas+]

Pressure Drop, sorry if we try to innovate and too bad if you think we code just for the sake of coding our "never ending new feature".

Can someone explain the achievements? I don't even know what I'm doing right half the rounds when I'm crowned king or vet.

He beat me to asking about this..... I've been wondering myself what the achievement requirements are.

[the_paul]

Which ones are you confused about?

[Burzum]

All of them, or I would have specified (except perhaps the one about terr kills).

[Arobas+]

Basing King : MKB + PKB
Most Veteran Like : MK
Flag Savior : MFC
Best Terrier : PKB + TPA + LD
Most Cautious : LD

MK = Most kill
MKB = Most kill in base*
PKB = % of kill in base* VS the rest of the map (ie: 2 kill in base and 0 outside = 100%)
MFC = Most flag claimed
TPA = Total of players attaching

*base = flagroom + mid

How it works

For each variable, everyone get a rank from the best (Top1) to the worst (TopN) where N is the number of players.

Each rank get a weight :
Weight = (N-r)+Max(0,(4-r))*2

As you see, the Top1 get +6 bonus, Top2 +4 and Top3 +2.

Now, let's do an example for Basing King with 30 players.

Paul: MKB (top 29) PKB (top 29) -> 1+0 + 1+0 = 2
Bob: MKB (top 5) PKB (top 16) -> 25+0 + 14+0 = 39
Smith: MKB (top 3) PKB (top 4) -> 27+2 + 26+0 = 53
Roger: MKB (top 8) PKB (top 1) -> 22+0 + 29+6 = 57
John: MKB (top 2) PKB (top 3) -> 28+4 + 27+2 = 61
Arobas: MKB (top 1) PKB (top 2) -> 29+6 + 28+4 = 67

Arobas has the highest total, he get this achievement.

Roger: MKB (top 8) PKB (top 1) -> 22+0 + 29+6 = 57
John: MKB (top 2) PKB (top 3) -> 28+4 + 27+2 = 61
Arobas: MKB (top 1) PKB (top 2) -> 29+6 + 28+4 = 67

Arobas has the highest total, he get this achievement.

I think we should blacklist aro from trying to explain things. I already knew about the achievements but after seeing this I'm confused again!

[Arobas+]

I think we should blacklist aro from trying to explain things.

B)

It's simple, and this algorithm is only used for achievements with more than 1 variable aka "Basing King" and "Best Terrier"

[vaped]

Thanks for the explanation, Arobas :grin:

[LordGore]

need to check out

Arobas+ put restriction please on:

- player buy burst for his terr (no time restriction) so terr can burst none stop...
- lev with high lvl bomb buy fullcharge (they shoot 2 time back to back... thats fucking too strong and they go high in streak in low time)
- put higher time for buy burst 15 second isnt enough cause terr burst none stop each 15 sec...
- maybe put player limit for x and lev ... too many sometimes
- put higher price to buy fullcharge many abusing that 20$ isnt enough...
- shield is too strong... thats create long game maybe u can put 1 by round by team something like this

and that's it thanks!

there should be some sort of implementation which penalizes people who join a freq before it wins (ie not as much money earned from the win), or outright implement a method to track freq hoppers. its not a big deal but sometimes one fuk will do it continuously and it's almost as annoying as all the whining from rest of pub about it

also do something about the fucking lanc

edit: also throwing in some rewards for various shark stats (like reps per death or something) might encourage people to use sharks responsibly
