#40 Golden Cap replacement Brainstorm. in TF2 General Discussion
bearodactylSpaceCadetBesides, if you can't push a team off your own 2nd point, why should you have any claim on winning the match?i disagree completely:
if the team just parks the bus and doesn't do sacks its kinda hard to push out of last on even ubers/numbers
on top of that on a lot of maps like badlands and metalworks, it's so aids to push out of last that you often need more than just a single pick and it's hard to push out even with 100% uber advantage
the team parking the bus could also just build a sentry/tele and wait the time out very easily

I see what you are saying and even agree with you about the difficulty but in the end everything you said was just an excuse as to why its "hard" to push out from last. Parking the buss happens in just about every high level game at some point of another so I really don't see the difference.

Guess what, the other team put you on your own last so your team is losing. Unless you can break the other team like they broke you to get such an advantage and turn the tables.

You have muse and yourself who played last season so you're fine

Pretty sure I totally misunderstood what you meant. I though you were saying the teams were looking for a way around the rule.

SpaceGhostsCoffeeSpaceCadetI feel a Golden Cap should be decided in 2 possible ways.
I believe this would also lead to more exciting pushes from last when teams get desperate as well as new off-classing strats to dislodge a team that decides to "park the bus" and defend a 2nd point with things like Heavy/Engineer.
If you're defending last you already have enough issues in OT, I don't think adding the winning team parking the bus on second really helps

I agree, but you need to have some penalty for losing the Mid-Fight and being stuck on your 2nd or on your last fits that bill in my opinion. Besides, if you can't push a team off your own 2nd point, why should you have any claim on winning the match?

I feel a Golden Cap should be decided in 2 possible ways.

1-- Capture Last (obviously)
2-- Capture the opposing teams 2nd point and hold it until time runs out.
(holding middle point as time expires should not count for anything)

I am not a fan of holding a neutral Mid-Point and getting credit for winning a match. Many times mid-fights can be won or lost from random things happening and I wouldn't like a match determined by one team getting lucky spam, body block, etc, etc because of congested mid-fights. In my opinion, to be the winning team you need to take something from the opposing team and earn the win. If you can Capture Last or hold the enemy 2nd point as they try and attack you, then you have every right to win the match.

I believe this would also lead to more exciting pushes from last when teams get desperate as well as new off-classing strats to dislodge a team that decides to "park the bus" and defend a 2nd point with things like Heavy/Engineer.

There would also be more aggressive pushes from Mid to 2nd for the team that wins the mid-fight. It would also lead to more spirited defenses of 2nd point from defending teams instead of always bailing to last and sacrificing a player to get a medic kill.

When Bran was touched in his vision, it just let the White Walker know his location at that instant so he showed up at the tree after. It doesn't mean Bran has a GPS on his arm or anything.

#30 Downsides of Ubercharge? in The Dumpster
feathersinteresting idea for an experimental tournament
probably could become its own gamemode, 5s possibly
don't really think it should be done for 6s because uber is super important and dry pushing is awful
SpaceCadetIt would be a return back to old QWTF (QuakeWorld TeamFortress) style game where Capture the Flag was more viable than Capture Point maps.

Back in the old days of QWTF, we used to almost always play 4v4 against our own team on every map to prepare for league play. 4 players on offense for 20 mins, then switch the same 4 players to defense for 20 mins. Whoever CTF the most wins. Was the best way to learn everything about a particular map, perfect jumps to and from the flag and showed your defensive players what to watch for and deny in matches.

I actually miss 4v4 the most from my Quake days because it was also a wonderful way to team build and have lasting friends for years. Sadly, TF2 doesn't have a way for a team to play itself and practice at the same time. Ultiduo is a joke.

I am not sure if something like CTF can work for TF2 because of how slow the game is compare to how fast Quake used to be. CTF is based on speed and consistency of attack from spawn to spawn. The same rules/game mode used for TF2 in 6's would not apply for a CTF match in my opinion. Under the correct rule set and game mode, it would be interesting and fun to try it with TF2 and see what happens.

the301stspartanThe Hodor scene was really good even though I find it confusing.However, I really gotta wonder why they preceded it with one of the dumbest self-sacrifice scenes I've ever seen. Leaf has a grenade that explodes on impact, in a tight corridor with zombies literally everywhere behind her. What could possibly make her decide she has to walk into them to set it off?

It's not really that confusing if you look at it from a different perspective. I watched the whole scene again and a few things

Her "grenade" or whatever it is, seemed to be special and different than the others that were thrown outside before the tunnel chase. If anything, the grenade was "charging up" as it was held in her hands so perhaps she wanted to give it the biggest possible charge before detonation thus she stands there and gets ripped apart until the zombies activate the grenade themselves.

Also bear in mind that all her sisters had already died in the battle and she was the last one standing. Not really hard to understand why she would decide to make her stand there and go out with her sisters while possibly allowing Bran to escape. Leaf knew how important Bran is or can be in the big picture.

Lastly, the White Walker army of Wights are referred to as Zombies a lot and not much is known about them. If they act like traditional "zombie" type creatures from D&D it means they need to either be commanded by a more powerful creature or ,if they have no orders, they simply attack whenever they can physically see or hear at the moment. They cannot think for themselves or reason anything out. Every scene with them to date has been consistent with that reasoning.

That said, the "sacrifices" in the tunnel were just fine in context but the main difference between the Dire Wolf and Leaf deaths were that the Wights still seen other things to attack in the tunnel thus they kept coming. If you watch the scene again, when Hodor did his hold the door thing, it allowed Bran to fade into the mist so after Hodor was dead, the Wights had nothing else to see and attack.

#12 Downsides of Ubercharge? in The Dumpster

Removing Uber's would require a change to the entire game as we know it. It would be a return back to old QWTF (QuakeWorld TeamFortress) style game where Capture the Flag was more viable than Capture Point maps. Adding things like Instant spawns after death would be a necessity and true offense vs defense would have a place in TF2 unlike how it is now. The speed of the game would undoubtedly increase because of fast spawns.

More to the OP's main point, I don't think a change like this would increase the skill ceiling at all, it would just simply be a different way of playing TF2.

IncoI don't think removing uber is going to magically make everyone more aggressive.

Actually, with the changes I stated above, TF2 would become an ultra aggressive and fast paced game.

the301stspartan What dany did has to look like obvious witch magic to any of these dothraki who have never seen a dragon or heard the first thing about targaryen blood. All they see is a woman with weird looking hair who isn't hurt by fire and is apparently trying to burn their holy city down.

I believe the Dothraki know exactly what Dragons are and have seen/experienced them in the past. Before the Targaryen's went to war and took control over the 7 kingdoms, they went East and assisted the "Free Cities" in becoming independent of the 7 kingdoms. After that, the Targaryens returned to westeros and conquered the 7 kingdoms.

In the end, nobody has any real way of knowing where the show is going to turn. GRRM has his own way of fooling everyone into thinking one thing then doing another. We could both be wrong when things come full circle.

She was unable to sail to westeros when Drogo was alive because they had no money or ships. It was frequently talked about in the first season along with the Dothraki fear of sailing.

The situation now is much different. She has a huge city under her control and the money to buy ships from another Free City like Braavos, Pentos or Volantis. I feel the show will go to Volantis at some point, it has been talked about for several seasons but nothing more.

I don't think you should get hung up on the word "submission" so much. Warrior cultures don't submit to anything but they do voluntarily follow a strong and powerful leader to keep their own honor. That is how I view the Dothraki and one big difference in your theory I see is that a "witch" doing blood or fire magic would not be accepted by the Dothraki and therefore they would never follow her even if she performed the same thing Daenerys did at the end of the episode and kill all the Khals.

Daenerys did not perform any "magic" or "witch-like" rituals or spells. She is simply an incredibly strong individual because of her connection to Dragons. It is logical to assume the Dothraki see her like that and will follow her because of her strength.

the301stspartanActually another thing just came to mind about the fire scene:
Show Content
Since when do the dothraki worship dragons, or dragon-people? Dragons eat horses. And the dothraki hate magic! Why don't they immediately declare dany a witch and have a horse stomp on her head? If dany knew the dothraki would submit to her just by displaying her fire resistance, why did she ever leave them in the first place? She had already discovered her powers when she was still with the horde, so why didn't she just take over then? After drogo died, she could've done this whole show and she would've had her army. She could've taken her dragons to the dothraki at any time to get a huge army and would've probably had enough men to deal with the sons of the harpy easily.
Is there any explanation for why this didn't happen? What happens in the books?

A few things:

I don't see anywhere that the Dothraki "worship dragons or dragon-people". Like mostly any warrior culture, the Dothraki respect strength above all else. Walking through an inferno after killing all the living Karl's is about as powerful a sign of strength as you can get. Even more powerful will be her riding a fully grown dragon (or 3) into battle.

As far as the Army, the Dothraki are a nomadic people so they will not thrive in a city environment. She would not have asked or taken the Dothraki army to Astapor, Yunkai or Meereen had Drogo lived. The Dothraki are, in essence, one of the best types of armies you can recruit to conquer massive stretches of land. They travel long distances and fight as a horde with numbers. They resemble the Mongolians of Asia and how unstoppable they were in that form of combat. If you put an army like that in a city like Kings Landing, they will never survive.
