CTW Servers, Why People Dont Like It? by Veopth December 8, 2015 at 12:12 PM UTC

Hello,

I'm very surprised cause the avicus community doesnt like the capture the wool, i've been playing overcast in the last 3 years, now, i want to play some avicus for having fun, but this is a thing that shocked me, sometimes i hear people that say "ctw sucks" or something like that... :o

So, i want to know, Why?
I suppose that is because the people usually camps in DTM servers.
Cause the people doesnt want to practice or dont play scrimmages and tourneys (i know that there are dtm and tdm maps in official events, but most of the maps are ctw).

I dont know, but, i would like to people in avicus try new things...
Its only a suggestion for improving...

Peace.

I agree partially. I mean, people play what they want. I like CTW myself a lot and more than any other gamemode. I would like to see it being played more, but I don't have any idea in my mind on how, except making good maps for it

I don't know why people don't like it,  but I like it.

Good one!
Maybe making new (good) maps will attract more people on ctw

dcstarwars December 8, 2015 at 1:12 PM UTC

I'm intending on making and releasing some maps soon, and I have some ctw maps... It'll just be getting the regions done properly I think. Maybe once they are put live there week be another influx of ctw matches being played

ctw is 1.8, besides that its a bad gamemode (imo)

Wahiz December 8, 2015 at 1:12 PM UTC

Most people don't like it because it is a 1.8 server and most mineman pvpers ;-; like to use the version 1.7

DaFrozenBlaze December 8, 2015 at 2:12 PM UTC

^ It's not because 1.8 is bad,  I use 1.8 and I don't play it because CTW01 is so glitchy(so is DTM01)

"ctw is 1.8, besides that its a bad gamemode (imo)" .. ctw is better than the shitty dtm as know as now.

Shhh

Spartemex December 8, 2015 at 4:12 PM UTC

I love CTW. Now that you mention it, I'll start working on an event to get more people into CTW! Say, a contest of who can get the most wools in an hour? ;)

Avicus' CTW Meta = shit

That's why

what is the current meta of avicus ctw?

hasl December 8, 2015 at 5:12 PM UTC

CTW was an extremely requested gamemode, like SG.
Look what happened...

No safeties, you're given 64 wool, for pretty much no reason, when 8 would work perfectly fine, since you can't pick them up.

dcstarwars December 8, 2015 at 5:12 PM UTC

if I understand yaml (or yml if you prefer) it is very difficult to put blocks down that are only accessable to be placed in a certain point. I believe that if yml was updated (be it modules or something) that there could be safeties, but IMO the best rushers can get back without needing safties, makes offending just that much more difficult

I just hate regions so many tactics get fucked bc of thrm

Didn't you quit mc? If so, why do you even care about avicus?

He apparently came back.

Coco_stag December 9, 2015 at 12:12 AM UTC

I hate playing ctw with the public. They are selfish and don't work as a team.

DaFrozenBlaze December 9, 2015 at 12:12 AM UTC

Usually people don't like it because it uses kits and in period isn't that active enough. With Nebula there is always a few people on it, so people tend to join that because of it.
Since when did CTW have kits?

Posighdun December 9, 2015 at 5:12 AM UTC

I think its not about why people don't like it, it's more about the fact that a majority of players prefer dtm over ctw. I don't know why though, i myself love a good game of capture the wool.

ImRaging December 9, 2015 at 7:12 AM UTC

I think that the fact that there are no safties makes it more of a challenge for the rushers.

Although I was an OCN player, I prefer having safties. OCN also has a different "feel" to Avicus.

And that's how I bash people who say Avicus is a copy of OCN

Well, Avicus is a copy of OCN, just an extremely poorly coded one, this explains all your lag spikes. They need powerful servers because the plugins use up loads of RAM.

Subscriptor December 11, 2015 at 8:12 AM UTC

After playing these days a bit more on CTW I can give several reasons:
- CTW is a good gamemode indeed imo, however some people dislike it generally 
- Some of the maps are really bad, no place to defend (I like to defend)
- Some regions are broken
- When I make a defense there's already the one guy that comes and starts covering my wall with wood etc
- No one else defenses. I rarely see other players then me defending on CTW, which makes it a very fast game where everybody rushes
- The rotation is very short. There are around 10 maps at total. The variation is pretty small so players start to get bored of this gamemode.
- The current 1.8 version is full of bugs like teleporting back, random inventory hotbar switching, spectator viewing glitch and other glitches which make the game, completely unplayable.

DaFrozenBlaze December 11, 2015 at 9:12 AM UTC

^ very true now that I read it.

I have the same question about Survival Games, man, when that thing was announced everyone was so hyped about it.
Well look at it now ...absolute ghost town...

avi > ocn   copy or not, ocn is shit

imryaan December 11, 2015 at 8:12 PM UTC

Just complete...


- They should add chests of wood for people defending bcuz defending is fun on CTW
- Arizona could be removed 
- Justice is just boring 
 and thats it
