Ideas for V2 settings

I would rather have the OS be burnt than have it be abused in an objective setting.

A lot of people are calling for MLG's dmg resistance powerup set at 300% (no shield recharge perhaps?). We will work on that for v2. Great having you stop by by the way!

Regarding the shotgun, I was thinking maybe it shouldn't be on a drop-spawn. What if we just set the max value to however many are on the map (ie. max 2 on Sanctuary), give it one spare clip, and set the respawn time short (might as well be 1 sec). That way one guy on each team can grab shotty, but there will never be more than 2 on the map, and when he wants it to respawn, he drops the empty one. Or if you are putting focus rifles in, maybe treat the shotty the same as them. The way it is now, I could grab shotty just before the spawn time, then my teammate could grab another one 2 seconds later.

We have decided on most of the changes, but we are still debating a couple things. (Zealot, for example). And I am pushing for a Damnation remake for v2. It's been slow because Yoseph/Kurtiz haven't actualized some of the changes yet. I know though that Sanctuary is ready.

Kurtiz wrote:-300% OS
-1:30 spawn timers for shotty/snipes/gl
-1:00 spawn timer for powerups
-2:00 spawn timer for rockets
-flag movement speed 100%
-Rocks added to sanc by bon and snipe ramp like H2, to make it more possible to run flags safely
-Dynamic spawns in sanc ts

those are confirmed so far

-Will focus rifle be 1:30 as well?
No focus rifle, at least not yet.
-So you went with the 8sk OS?

To placate people. We did not get the chance to test a lot of ideas, including your suggestions and Kurtiz's old OS. We will get to test this out for v2, see the flaws, get feedback, then look into it for v3 which should be very very soon considering CEA is coming out.
-Since shotgun is now 1:30, hopefully you ignore my point about the "max 2" and keep the max value high, so that it respawns consistently.
No, we did talk about having the max run time and not have it on drop spawn. We just want to get v2 out now and a lot of people were busy, so while there will be a lot of improvement for this, things are still not set in stone.
-Looking forward to v2 Thanks for the effort
Thank you for the support and the important points you brought up on a number of subject. I personally really did and agreed with much of what you wrote.
