Would appreciate a dev comment on this:

By contrast, the classic Discord server rankings were based on kill points so there was actually a reason to continue playing for the lifetime of the server:
Without this system or one approximating it in place, p99 Discord is not classic
Any interest in incentivizing the competitors similar to Discord Classic ruleset to come out of hiding to engage each other? Or is "Survival MMO" style gameplay the sole intention of Discord99?

Is it just a matter of the current rules being a pure survival ruleset because it requires the least amount of developer time investment into a temporary server?

Daddy 'gean or Haynar if you could please share some insight it would be appreciated.

I'm sure this proposal will upset some purists, but consider a altering the link aggro system so that players may root snare dispel kill someone training them and not link aggro

We are also overdue to enable the January 2001 era on all servers. This will include changes to root/snare stacking, removal of the Class XP penalties + group shared XP modifications, and more. We are able to enable these eras while the server is running, but we identified some issues that will require a patch before we turn it on. This will be happening this week or weekend.

Thanks!

Please add Discord server discussion to the forums so it can be talked about in its own great place away from r99 discussion

yes split this off from the main channel, so folk who arent interested in this nonsense dont have to read through reams of rubbish!

pvp should only be played with lazer rifles imo + maybe the odd gattling gun

*shakes fist* at this crappy Quake generation...

There is no reason not to have a sub forum for the "temporary server" since they plan on experimenting with it regularly.
