That people...

1. Don't know how to Kite to save their lives

2. Camping Res points is fair play and not considered lame. So people think

3. Camping high ground areas is the way to go.

4. People love standing about on high areas doing nothing.

5. People are unwilling to use their res signets ^ ^ No change there then

Come on people at least run about and stuff, its meant to be Dogdeball not Campball!

Sounds like the same issues that plagued Quake and UT many years ago and had so many people like myself finally give up on those types of PvP games.

You forgot to mention that way to much people take this thing way too serious. Had a warrior flaming for several minutes, screaming noob left and right because the team lost. It's really rare i see something that ridiculous

You forgot:

5. People don't use their 5 rez signets.

A little off topic but, does anyone know if you win more orbs for more consecutive wins?

Theus · Jun 30, 2006, 12:49 PM // 12:49

Seriously.I'm not impressed by this map.The lack of obstructions simply makes it a CS AWP map.

GranDeWun · Jun 30, 2006, 01:00 PM // 13:00

Well, it's not all so clear cut. People with any lag died right away - you can't dodge if you lag, even though you think you are dodging. And a lot of people foolishly tried to rez in the open as a nice unmoving target...

Best bet is to have 1 or 2 rez ppl in cover, with everyone else w/in range.

Best moment so far: a ragequitter. From dodgeball...

This is so true. Unfortunately it describes me. *sigh* I am so put of practice.

Yeah, some people may not like certain things, but hey, who cares?.. it's the Dragon Festival.. yaah.

If you try to use res you die.

Yeah, if you wait until there are only 2 people left. But someone should try to rez as soon as 1 person goes down. I have rez'd many people during battle.

I know it's difficult, but it's much harder for 2 people to take on 6.

In quake camping is allowed, and campers on high ground/ sky, do something.
However camping the rocket launcher is lame. When there is 1 on the level.

I was designated "rezzer" last night and we won 10 in a row. Just make sure you're not in the front line when you're rezzing and they will have a hard time making it to you.

This is why I eventually got bored with Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I guess I had my jollies with the Dragon Arena while the noobness lasted.

frickett · Jun 30, 2006, 02:00 PM // 14:00

Yeah I have ressed a few times as well, sometimes I get it off in time, but most of the time i just get zapped, but that is a result of my lack of skill.

This one keeps me in tears throughout my dodgeball experience... For goodness sake people, you have 5 of them and they recharge! You cannot trade the rez sigs in for 250 Jade orbs, so please press the button...heheh

Never thought of it as Dodgeball before lol. I did noticed you could dodge the orbs but running away didn't always work for me. Don't know whether it was lag or just me suckifying hehe.

The most memorable moment for me so far in the Arena event was my entire team legging it when we were losing by about 2 (it was like 4-2 or something, really early on). So I was left entirely on my own, being spawn camped.

Unlike my team-mates, I decided to try and take a few down with me

Got 4 more and the score was 12-6 to them. Then they kept asking, agonisingly politely, for me to leave. Since they weren't throwing about 'noob' I decided to give up the charade ^_^

I don't know whether anyone else has thought of this, but I'll mention it anyway: a way to get back at spawn campers. Target whichever one is nearest to the spawning point, then when your team resurrects there (making sure you all target diffferent members of the opposing team) you can hit them before they can hit you. Usually. Long as they don't start running away and you press [can't remember name of skill but it's the instant death one] really fast.

Just thought I'd say that in case it helped anyone at all.

Asil Moon · Jun 30, 2006, 03:00 PM // 15:00

Hmmm I tried it twice and gave up. I Ab alot and I thought the Dodgeball game was very annoying. Just my opinion though. Also did they fix the problem about loosing the ranger pet?

Jetdoc · Jun 30, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Actually, the best way to "grief" rez campers is to have everyone else in your team leave the battle but you.

Imagine them having to wait for your sorry butt to rez 10-12 times (I think it's once every 2 minutes as well) for them to score their win. A nice half hour battle to pay them back for using a marginal strategy, at best.

Gforce · Jun 30, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

shrine campers ftw.. tell your team to target their number (like your teammate with (1) behind his name takes opponent with (1)) and all use the instakill skill, and your opponent is damn dead, as your invulnerable for a few secs(till you got your skill off).
