Conquest - 2020-11-29 - Server 3 (another test)

[Zahzi 2964]

Since the donation goal was met and y'all made enough status updates, we'll be testing the Malden conquest mission file again today on server 3 @ 6PM EST.

Since the last test, I fixed some of the bugs (spawn protection, despawn script, voting while dead) and also increased the initial pot to $25m.

There will inevitably be more changes going forward as this mission is more thoroughly tested.

 

I can't be around during this test, so @Noahhh! will be running it. Everything worked great when we tested it earlier today, but if anything goes wrong to the point that it is no longer playable, @Noahhh! will start a conquest on server 2 instead.

If you have any constructive feedback, please reply to this thread after it's done.

If you just want to whine and complain, don't bother. Getting this right will take time, so please be patient.

Also note that just like the main servers, you'll get a cut from the gang that you first entered with (kill/death/capture). As a consequence, players that disconnect/get kicked/etc still get a cut if they were entered with your gang. You may wish to sort out your gang and shit before it starts. If this is a mechanic you want changed

 

Details

• $25m initial point
• 10k points to win
• 5 captures points per zone, 2 rebels each
• 3 different sectors
• No second conquest is automatically started
• Money, warpoints, vehicles, etc are all synced with the live server
  • Gear is saved, but not sync'd with the main servers
  • Jail time is not sync'd, you can play even if you're arrested
• No cartels, no chopshops, etc. Just the capture points and rebels
• Safezone island that you can spawn at, gear up, etc until the conquest actually starts
  • Can't take damage if you spawn there until you leave a 500m radius
  • Scroll wheel "Safe Redeploy" to redeploy to another spawn point without losing your gear

Thanks @Zahzi & @Noahhh!

We've all been looking forward to this

only thing i would say is 10k may be a bit too many points I was think around 7-8k?

I'm torn between having it be one longer sector or two 5k point rounds like it is on the main server. The latter could be more dynamic I guess

Would love to hear other opinions on this.

^^ some people won't stick about if it goes to 10k points and then money gets split amongst more people and then you get people reeeeing about money since it's being split amongst more people

I think either 2 things with 5k points so it doesn't drag out or just 7k points to where its just long enough but not too long where everyone bitches at you on the forums right after

two different 5k points for sure @Zahzi 10k points is enough to make people punch there screens

[grooovy 703]

make it 5k points 10k took to long 

[Monks 1663]

Either 2 5k's or 1 7k 

[jig 2083]

not sure how to add some sort of money buff but we only got 2.5mil each and spent around like 2 mil but overall wasnt bad. Also would definitely change 10k points to 7-8k or 2 5k pointers.

First spawn into S3 needs to instantly give you shield, was fun tho

[Masonn 2799]

Was fun

feel like the A point was too far away from everything though so just meant alot of people hiding and back capping it.

Also feel like if your looking to buff money you should do it per 10m into the pot the server puts like 2-3M which rewards more fighting etc.

Did you spawn at "the hub" and not get shield? Was this your first time on the malden conquest?

Top sector I believe (the one with the two blown up domes as the central points)

I spawned in before the conquest rebels had spawned and I had no shield so died instantly

I attended the first S3 a month or so back, not sure if that was malden or not tbh
