Capping is not for noobs.

[Xxypher]

During Hexer, I was bragging about how I was 100 points above the guy in second place, and they all said how capping is only for noobs and that I need to stop or he will kick me. So I scored one more time, won the game, and the next game he spent the whole game trying to kick me before someone kicked him from the server.

Now to get to my point, is capping noobish to you? Because I love it.

[Maryleaf]

Depends.

1 vs 1, yea
2 vs 2, maybe
3 vs 3, no
4 vs 4, no
5 vs 5, no
etc..

If any teams are uneven, then yes it is newb. During Hexer, I can see why people say its gay because the teams arnt always balanced correctly. Cause levels 30++ are extremely powerful even to a level 20-28. (From Experience) But then again, its just Hexer and the capper is just trying to make that extra 2000 points. Its an RPG, doesnt matter about what map or who caps, JUST KILL KILL KILL KILL

It is noobish if you tell that you are better than someone, just because you have more points, especially in publics.

IMO amount of kills shows well someones performance on the field. Player with 60 points may not be better than player with 55 points.

The first one has capped 2 times and killed 20, the second one has capped once and killed 35 enemies. Which one is better in your opinion?

[Maryleaf]

Umm, cant really decide that. Maybe the guy who capped 2 times was being covered by the guy with spray. I dont know man, hard to tell whos actually better then who in games. Bad days and good days in soldat. Everyone knows.

[Clawbug]

Yes, it depends alot on the tactics and stuff, but as I said, IMO the kills show the performance better, even in CTF. Though caps may , and should not be ignored either.

[Maryleaf]

I personally like team matches for clan wars because it really shows how much everyone has killed instead of captures. Everyone knows that some caps are by luck.

[matt]

if its a small game it is noobish.
If its a big game well thats the porupose of CTF
and on R/S Capping is all ways noobish.(unless u double score )
and i agree it is noobish if u say that u are better then somone because of your points. Its all about killz

So are some kills. Luck is part of the game. I also like capping, no matter how many people are playing. That's what CTF is all about, so I'm gonna get that flag and score, if it kills me.

Even in 1v1 R/S, I find capping to be completely acceptable (and normal R/S games too, of course). It adds to the tactics, say to weed out a camper from his hiding spot, and there's nothing unfair about it, as both players have the same opportunity to do so. If you let your flag get stolen, it's your own fault.

[Maryleaf]

I dont agree at all. Cap on r/s is just plain out gay. Ends the round when not everyone is dead.

learn to protect your flag, it adds more tactical depth to the game.



No, capping is of course appreciated in Hexer, that's why the EP and combobonus for it do even exist, to make it more attracting. I guess I have to be a bit harsher regarding retard bans.

Only way to get EP in hexer if your a high level is to cap....so cap away.

[Maryleaf]

Just dont brag about shit, cause its a damn game. If you wanna brag, 1 vs 1 me in TW.

Wow I totally didn't know that. If you don't want to die, protect your flag. I should say letting them get away with your flag is noobish (only in R/S), not capping.

People like you, Maryleaf, make R/S less fun for those who can accept that some things are there for a reason.

I was going to say that in my last post, but I forgot. I played Hexer for the first time a couple of days ago. Awesome job, Avarax.

^ I agree. In very small games it can be noobish but normally the people that complain about capping, especially in R/S, are just the ones that act like it's a Death Match- not bothering to protect their flag and then complaining at the consequences.

[Maryleaf]

I can play r/s all day. But if its about capping I wont. Cause I wont leave my base if people are gonna cap. Make sure to take them out as soon as the flag is gone.

[SDFilm]

Really, why do people play on CTF maps when they seem to think that it's a Team Death Match? It really puzzles me.....

[SirJamesaford]

I usually to by the server rules...if they say no capsies then i dont cap...but if they say cap away then ill go by what the other ppl are doing.  In r/s that is...

I'll clear the way with my awesome kill skills, and you cap the flag with your awesome speed skills. It's a tactic.

As for the idea of 1v1, 2v2, etc.

In any match, between any amount of persons, capping should be acceptable. In 1v1, if you take the enemies flag, chances are they have your flag too. And, if you kill the enemy and proceed to their base, they're going to respawn.

In 2v2, defense becomes more of a major factor than anything else. If you both attack, one guy will just sneak under you, take your flag, and bombard you from the back as your battling the other guy at the base.

In 3v3, 4v4, yeah got it.

[a-4-year-old]

Capping is always not noobish, the act of capping isn't anyway, not balancing the teams is what is noobish.

Being a 'pure killer' is fine (as long as it paves the way for your capper), I was talking about when people flame cappers as if the person who capped was wrong for doing so.

I understand that it can be annoying when they cap and you didn't get to kill them but that's not because the capper is a noob, its because you (hypothetical Soldat Player) failed to defend your flag and your opponent was skillful and/or lucky enough to evade capture. Simple as that- you lost, he won. Get over it.
