Tuesday July 9th is Vanilla Day

[shaitan]

I think you know what this means, there's going to be some rage coming up.

Tuesday July 9th will be "mostly Vanilla" day. Lots of shit is turned off.

Wednesday July 10th you'll see some settings changed to keep it fresh, try not to rage too much. :3

I'll let you guys figure out what was changed on your own.

[ehh]

give every char shotguns

This is the best Renegade day since the last few years next to the organized vanillla events.

Shai will there be a post of changes implimented anywhere?

[shaitan]

May be something(s) I missed, but I think this is it for the most part.

• During the whole Apex/noone playing fiasco we had 5/6 chances of being Marathon, now it's 5/7 chances(one more aow).
• Turned off the !rtc score checker(+500 points and you couldn't !rtc). Noticed it on Niagra; not very team change friendly.
• Shells are off, vehicle limit is 30.
• !weps are currently off.
• I didn't mess with the sbh picking up the trash weps, they still can even if you see MDK whine. Speaking of that; is that slow RL too op?
• Character drops(bags): DNA 20% chance - Weps 40% chance - Armor/HP 40% chance.
• Starter weps: Hotty = grenade launcher / Tech = flame thrower. If you guys think of a good character wep change, let me know(I went with a troll wep).
• Crates: No chance of Ion Storm crate(removes hud and it doesn't come back alot). After yesterday of seeing the Overhaul crate put people under the map; it's removed on these maps so far: Hangmans Canyon, Islands, Islands_RxD.
• Hangmans Canyon is AOW @ 60 minutes. The rest are all random game mode chance.
• Maps removed: Niagra, Bio, Field_RxD, Sand_RxD
• Maps added: Hangmans_Canyon, Conquest_Winter, FieldTS, Gobi, Walls_Reloaded, Creekdale, Hourglass_Flying.
• Poll for those maps are here, going to check those on the 20th or 27th(1-2 weeks) for a more accurate count. Usually on a new map some will rage vote, and then change their vote after playing it a few more times. We may end up keeping 1-3 of them.

[ehh]

some very good changes shai, not sure about the maps

for sure put conquest winter to timed though, the front building for each side is the comm building right? which is kinda meh to kill, its really hard to kill any other building, which makes a lot of stalemates.

[Guest rackz]

conquest winter is just TO BIG.

and hangmans canyon is just a camp map.

all other changes im fine with.

I was going to complain about lack of shotties but I've realized that I can kill more people with -troll weapon- grenade launcher, so it's okay :D

I know everyone is going to hate my idea here as people in this forum seem to love completely vanilla Renegade :( But I'm still going to say it and represent the other people who think alike me in the game. During the time I joined Rencorner (I think 2012?), we could get random weapons and tanks with a command in accordance with our veteran points. But it was quite hard to reach to enough vet points. So very few people could get tanks with commands. Is there a chance to bring that system back? Because sometimes, actually most of the time enemy destroys all buildings except one, then goes on sniping free characters instead of finishing the game. Then it gets really boring for the loser team as only thing you can do is sit on your bum contemplating about your inevitable death in a corner in refinery or some other building. But with random weapons, at least the loser team gets something to cheered up by and fool around. I think you should give it a thought.

Have you been watching how it goes now? It may not happen as much when the losing team is down, but they do steal the winning teams DNA pickups and turn into those characters. Watch a game sometime when it happens(I seen it happen a lot on the Field map the other day, so many DNA's lying around).

I didn't take away the pickup/spawning weapons btw, those are still there. DNA <==> !weps, now.

Man I wish I could play vanilla Ren. It’s the best setup for it, pc fucking fried a month ago :(

[Guest rackz]

yea, vanilla is great! lasttime i played 5 games and they all did end after max. 10 minutes lol

[Sheila]

I like my game with chocolate sprinkles :( 

@shaitan You're assuming that I.. ahem.. the losing team can kill the snipers of the winning team. Noobs don't get a chance to have weapons to fight back. I'm not saying that because I'm a noob. I'm not a noob! I'm just thinking of them. You pro guys have it all and vanilla maps are perfect for you to show off your skills. Life is so unfair😔

[shaitan]

That vanilla thing was just the one day, and it'd been almost a year since the last one.

Host: [BR] August 29th will be Vanilla Day! Most things(not all can be) will be turned off, so it's more like regular Renegade. Remind shaitan a day before(old age).

Yep, that message was in the bot from Aug to last week.

Personally I loved the Vanilla day, I saw a lot more TP in the games I played during that day and it was fun to see everyone scrambling to pickup dropped weapons that never appeared when somebody died and they're all super confused about it :D

You pro guys

Why thank you. :)

 

I miss the days when we had designated taxi drivers to take us sneirps up the hill on walls_flying and back at the base for refill.

[ehh]

calm down chief ^

the losing team should just lose to be honest, instead of recycling backpack weapons >_>

I agree. Back in the day you’d see matches go back and forth for hours which made the game fun. Doing rushes to take the field, hold it for a while then lose it to an enemy rush. That happened because people knew how to teamplay and obviously the higher number of players, meaning you wouldn’t have a half team full of noobs. 

Now one team is definitely going to be handicapped thanks to the squad system and how the team mixer works resulting in said team getting stomped early on then dragging the game for an hour because half of the team are a bunch of morons that  KEEP REPAIRING THE LAST BUILDING ALIVE. When I played on Apex I used to just cover the MCT with remotes and jump around to deny the repairs and end the game. Mods were useless so I got away with it mhmm v;

Any chance of this day again?
