Notice: HW restrictions in place

[SteveP]

Please note that for the short term we have the following restrictions in place regarding numbers of HWGuys per team.

All CTF servers (1 HW Guy)
All other servers (2 HW Guys)

Apologies for this restriction. Whilst obviously we don’t want to tell people how to play the game, it’s quickly becoming apparent that the HW does currently present quite an imbalance to the game. I believe the fortress forever dev team are be looking to improve this for their next release.

I hope you understand the need for this restriction and hopefully it makes our servers more fun, especially whilst we all get to grips with the game, rather than being mowed down.

[swarfega]

agreed.

[Parva4]

Yep, way too overpowered currently.

[Fat-Toni]

Hwguys are just insane, they seem to take so much damage and just getting in the way of the bullets mows me down... I completely agree.

Could do with limiting snipers to at a maximum 2. Well and Advark can be quite annoying when there's 4 snipers on each time and you're trying to offy :o

The balancing generally appears to have been a bit rushed.

HW is mad.

Demo det pack seems to take out half the server. The engie railgun makes a good one shot sniper kill. Med seems weak generally.

Spies seem far to useful.

a cloaked patient spy is way too powerful

[SteveP]

Are we talking sniper limits across all servers, or just ctf ?

[Adam]

2 snipers is really enough on ANY map.

HW's are even more powerful if you know the exploit to evade overheating :)

[Parva4]

I'd agree with the max 2 sniper limit across all servers / maps. Other than sniper specific maps I see no need for anymore than two. There are many that would advocate 0 snipers but that's another debate. :)

[SteveP]

Ok, 2 sniper limitation now active.
