He knows darn well what was added. When he said he'd "look into" it, he meant he would consider your complaint.
This was your added bug, er feature.
You wanna use Duel as a chatroom, and so this feature bugs you. The Team felt that if you are playing 4 way Duel, it meant that you wanted to fight, so we gave you 4 players. Some of us aren't so worried about folks who wanna chat mid-game. Use IRC for that.

Having said that, I suppose we could look at the min players thing for 4 way, as Jb already told you, but to keep posting about it every day (like the other guy and his getting kick-voted) won't help your cause.

You could also simply run 1 on 1 Duel until you have enough players, then swtich it over to 4 way. It's not like it's such a big deal anyway. Or switch it to LMS, as I think we set the minplayer setting to work as you want it there.

Either way, it's low priority, as you can Duel 1on1 just fine as it is now.
And the AI walk super slow, is this a bug?
Try turning up the skill level.
Not to be disrespectful, but I think you have your convo's crossed. I have no mention in my previous posts about bots attacking while I talk, although we should have every right to talk, thats why unreal came with the SAY command, and a simple work around is to grapple up and talk there. But that was Meatloafs, not my complaint. I dont care if they attack while talking, i can type and run. I just disliked having the bots ruin a good battle between 2 or 3 humans by clunking their unskilled selves into the middle of it. (Although I have recently bumped my AI to Godlike and need to test that out) but leaving it 1 on 1, then have to restart the server every 2 seconds with 4 Man enabled maybe a work around if Im there, but if I'm not available then the rest of the players get stuck with 1 on 1.

And I dont think I was being facetious by asking what "looking into it" meant, I just didnt understand if the way I described it was different than the way it was supposed to be implemented. So I thought there may have been a discrepancy with its expected behavior. I can understand there is some aggression towards phantasma for his lashing out, but I hardly think I should be accused and attacked about the same thing, Im just trying to ask the questions that everyone talks about on the servers, very civilized.

jb, thank you for your feedback, after seeing what the reasons were, I see it does have some good out of it, but yea if it was somehow changeable or settable that would reduce many of the user complaints on the servers I think.

And sorry if I offended anyone here, I was just curious, I like this mod a lot and I read my server logs and see much of the same complaint/comment so I bring it to the forums.

And thanks for doing that. Its no problem to ask and tell us as we are not mind readers so the more feedback you have the better. And we can not do everything that each person asks for or else we would not get done at all :) But feedback is the food of the gods for a mod team so keep it coming!
