gonna kick your a**

Post by L'architecte »

Hi again

I play melee DM and melee KOTH a lot, more than Duel. But I HATE kick. Especially on DM. I know there is no way to disable the kick (for bots and players), so take it as a suggestion for the next release :) cause it's awful to play with bots who all kick you all the time.
Could be cool to have a game rules option allowing to enable/disable a** kick...

I hate kick cause the bots use it all the time. I can not kill em properly on this way
To kick some bots / players into lava or deep in the space is funny, but when you are playing in an indoor environnement, with a lot of fucky bots that kick you all the time, preventing you to hurt em, I become quickly upset :evil:
Oh I forgot, I always play melee DM with more than 10-12 bots, maybe that's why I am kicked so often ?

Never mind, kick is funny, but dont use it too much !

Or grapple-spam them

No, this is a melee match ! and grapple-spamming... I like to cut em all in little bloody bits, but not running after grapple-jumping players or all-the-time-kicking bots :lol:

Could be a good point, if the bots are kicking too much it would ruin some of the melee play.....

I thought Bots learning to kick was a step in the right direction. . .

Yes, it was Pep. Initially it was to help with the game play of HH, so that bots would get the monsters out of their face when surrounded. And then decided that since it worked, to put it elsewhere too.

And yes, this topic of melee vs nw we have in fact already covered. And they should only be kicking in melee when they have 3 or maybe it was 4 opponents in their face. Only in nw should you be seeing bots kicking in a 1vs1 situation.

Flag is saying what I tried to. The bots should only kick in a few conditions and if they are kicking too much in a melee only match thats not HordeHunters, then it's something we could look at to ensure its working as we had watned to do.

sorry I was busy

well, I think allowing kick with more than 3 bots isnt enough, for example I am playing on an indoor arena map (DM-MatrixLobby) with 11 bots. Can you imagine a strike in the middle of the map with 11 bots kicking whoever comes near him ? Its very hard to play.

Hmmm

I've not been having much trouble with this feature...

In fact, I really like the fact that the kicks are more or less... often. While kick-spamming can be a nuiscance at times, especially in tiny maps, it reinforces the neccessity for tactical play... such as back-stabbing... :twisted:

Yeah, bots overkicking can be fun, but also something to be upset at. For example: I always play Instagib Melee KOTH on KOTH-Pyramid with 11 other bots, (and adding me means 12 people) and they kick each other so hard and often that 3 bots kick me at the same time in the back when im moving to a specific direction causing me to die by being thrown against the WALL at the edge. Can be hilarious at times though.
