Point harvester in Capture the Relay - please do something

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 1:14 am

Dear Crytek,

yesterday I met several players on different servers who did some kind of point harvesting in Capture the Relay. One player just gets the hostile relay and drops it. An enemy returns it to the base and they can do this again. Within few minutes they got about 8000 points. Since I'm a honorable player I find this quite ridiculous. To stop this kind of cheating I would like to see some kind of points cap for CTR - e.g. 3000 points in 5 min; or some kind of timeout for carrying the relay - e.g. you can pick up the relay only once every 30 sec.

Thanks
FH

I saw it too, but whatever If they want XP I dont care when they do not ruin the game... I think there are some(MANY) more important things to fix...

But I can't kill my own teammates... And it takes maybe 30 sec until they can start again with harvesting since I cannot kill the whole enemy team. Actually, they started a votekick against me... **** noobs!

It's called boosting btw. I've been on such a server once with a teammate of mine. Killing them was damn funny, them whining in the chat, without a chance to get any points cause they svcked :D
Your idea svcks too, btw. Normal players shouldn't be limited by boosters....

Well, I do not understand those little jerks (the boosting newbies). I am level 37 and well, I need a hour for a level? That's not much, lol. I am level 50 in one week, I think, I really do not understand why they chose not to have fun to level up faster.

Some people are tired of the issues that they resort to cheap but really weird ways.

This doesn't need a fix, there are boosters in every game man, it's n ot exactly an issue/bug jeeze. Just kill them or grab the relay and run away. Haha.

A simple fix would be to set a timer for taking and returning relays for points. I'd say 15-20 seconds is enough.

If a player picks/takes a relay, or returns a relay, the timer counts down to zero, only when that countdown finishes would taking a relay or returning it give you points. The points gained from taking an enemy relay to yours is unaffected by this timer.

The end result is that should anybody abuse the points gained from taking and returning the relay so quickly will just find out they won't get any more points after the first time because they keep resetting the timer on themselves. It won't exactly stop boosting however it will slow it to a crawl and destroy any advantage it had in being a booster in the first place.

Saw 2 guys here..
maybe that's the reason there are so less CTR servers here in Germany?
It's annoying.. really!
