TOPIC: (Deathrun) Remove velocity restriction

Server Name: Deathrun

Suggestion Title: Remove velocity restriction

How would it benefit the server: A possibility of older players returning at some point

Potential Issues/Exploits: None that weren't present before the restriction was added

Additional notes: The velocity restriction was added in hopes of allowing newer players to not be left behind by the more experienced bhoppers, yet all it did was make the gamemode less fun for the experienced players, and as a result, they stopped playing, making it almost impossible for new players to even join in the first place to benefit from the update since newcomers won't want to join a server that has no players to begin with. Clearly the restriction has not had a positive impact on the server so I don't see why it shouldn't be reverted in the hopes that older players could play again. Its not a likely chance that it will do much for the server but I feel like it will do a hell of a lot more good than bad

make me server owner, ill remove the restriction then resign, ez solution

+support, I need to learn to get good

I've also always felt that if players were really complaining, then this change would be positive. Clearly it was a major change for a minor cause. And so nothing good has come of that. Everyone that can go fast had to learn at some point, there's Bhop servers for reasons. Very rarely saw people on Deathrun not being able to keep up aside from a newbie that leaves after 1 round anyway. And a lot of map designers have kept in mind being able to Bhop, which makes the maps now frustrating to complete because it's almost stopping you using parts of the maps as intended. It's got rid of that accomplishment of getting past a few traps in a row and that fun little rush. You just get past 1 trap, start again, build some speed (to the permitted amount of velocity), and hope for the best now. Some traps are impossible to cross without being able to go faster than we are allowed to now.

good idea

If the cm is gonna do a deathrun meeting for fucking once I will bring this suggestion up.

no one will even bother to remove this from the coding

but

Mainly chutes idea for this change, I remember him clearly mentioning that people are moving too fast and it’s not the way Deathrun is meant to be played and that’s why the server was loosing its player base, the change happened after I had left I believe. It’s clear it didn’t work, might aswell change it back.

Now I never got to see the update through as I resigned before it came out but the original restriction didnt work and neither did the increased restriction so I think its about time it gets reverted completely, however red also resigned so it was left to the CM team to do it.

good one

It's a pain to see the server being empty when some years back it was full of life and people were messing about and having tons of fun.
My argument back when they implemented this is still the same, not having a speed cap does not restrict new players from having fun but instead should push them into learning how to make the most out of their speed and learn how to control their bhops better in order to win. Same thing for Deaths that can mind game various traps and adapt to fast players in a fun way and get better at being a Death.

Deathrun will very hardly be what it was a few years back, significant changes to the attractiveness of the gamemode would have to be made and I don't think it's the focus right now, specially with SSRP in the mud aswell.



Although I don't see it happening
