Some people are way over-reacting here,
or terribly misinformed,
it should be obvious that the wipe was planned before this whole CTF idea,
it's not a deliberate attempt to spoil everyones fun,
such conspiracy theories do make me chuckle though.
Nobody has said this can't or won't happen,
if anything I have explained to those who have personally asked me about it that i'd like it to happen,
but as far as systems go, it's not just a simple case of re-uploading them,
the main systems that have been in use for the last several years are not "pluggable",
they're not made in such a way that you can easily pick and choose which parts you want to use and which parts you do not, if this wasn't the case the systems probably wouldn't be being remade from scratch but instead re-worked gradually.
Now yeah, there has been several different movement systems on the server over the years, but only one of those were compatable with CTF,
and there would be some inconveniences as a result of having the mess of "remove entire set of new systems from player -> apply entire set of old systems to player",
i'm not saying it can't be done, just would require some time to re-work it,
otherwise the server would just end up with the same problems it does now,
but then it's not just CTF and Movement systems, it's everything,
Staff System, Boots, Tools are examples of things that would need to be re-worked for this aswell, but is it really wise to develop for 2 different sets of systems?
It would be much wiser to make everything properly so you can have stuff work regardless of systems.
Also i'll mention that the whole GC System mentioned by Mystic was actually referring to the idea of having a System to flexibly be used by all Team Events,
so this would also include stuff like KoM, WaW, Battlegrounds etc,
instead of spending time remaking team controls every time a new team event is made,
this would speed up Development of Team Events, but also offer improvements such as Teams being able to select their own Guild Tag and perhaps even nick colour for an event. |
