Preventing killsteals and farming

    Hey guys,
    I've been playing on MG for quite a while and I have two ideas for the Coop servers:
    1. I often try to kill Hunters who keep jumping over the survivors and often someone else deals the last hit and gets the kill. I'd like a system where the player who did the most damage gets the kill.
    2. Many people farm at the end of a level for about 1 min while the normal players keep waiting in the safehouse. To prevent this it could be an idea if either the first players in the safehouse get a reward or the whole team gets a bonus if they finish the level in a certain time. I don't know how hard it would be to do this but another alternative could be: If more than X% of the team is in the safehouse the others have X min left to enter the safehouse, else they die/lose points or whatever.

    Tell me what you think about it.

    1) The veteran pistols make it easy to kill special infected on coop compared to normal weapons so i think what ur suggesting is, involving more work for an unnecessary reason. Think of it like a real life situation, your in an army, you wound someone but someone take the fatal shot to kill that person and that person will take all the credit for killing the person. The reason i say this is unnecessary because there are more important things which are being worked on at the moment by Honourcode and no one besides you has really complaint about this because when you level up and join a guild, you'll be able to kill those hunters with ease with the veteran pistols too.

    2) Yeah some people just stay outside of the safehouse and farm whilst others are waiting but your suggestions are bad and let me explain why. First suggestion is to give the reward to the person who manages to go into the safehouse first, that means, i could rush to the safehouse (no teamplay), get the reward for going into the safehouse first, then come out of the safehouse and start farming again. Second suggestion again has a teamwork problem because if the server has mostly low levels then they will struggle against spitters or other special infected which would mean that the high level players will think, lets go to the safehouse to get our bonus and let these low level noobies die or we won't get our bonus.

    For the kill issue, i find this somewhat annoying as well, and i am in a guild with veteran pistols and all.
    I just didn't consider it a reason enough to make a thread to complain just about that
     
  8. Raised, remember the post i've written on the admins section? this guy Skytis was playing in the same server and campaigns with whom I told you guys about... ;)

    And Skytis, the behavior of the people you must be thinking of has already been reported ;D

    But keep on telling what you think dude, its important.

    about having a prize at the and, despite what raised said, we had it in that good old days, but it didnt work, for people used to abuse and glitch the bonus at the end to receive like 15 times per round...
    I agree with you that its good to end the map and receive something, but our attempt failed before =\

    Demos don't take that much space and are fairly easy mto record just type in console. record "demoname" then it will record your demio just capture the footage and then once you've collected enough type in console stop. I believe thats how you stop it anyways but ya like cocaine said it doesn't take that much space and it will b a helpfull tool for the admins to review. :P

    It should be fairly easy to kill a special infected now with the spawn
    rate up like the old extreme co-op....so you will have many chances to
    catch so kills,as they almost never stop spawning now.
