Aphelion's CTF with Mages
Ever wanted to play as a Mage?

Location: USA
Max Players: 14
Maps: Default (+ Gorge)

This mod introduces the Combat triangle.

Knights are powerful against Archers.
Archers are powerful against Mages.
Mages are powerful against Knights.

The Mage
is most effective in a group, they are vulnerable to Archers as they cannot shield against Arrows and are ineffective at dispatching Orbs over great distances. Mages are effective against Knights as Orbs knock them back and melt their armor.

Orbs are ammunition. There is a 3 second interval between each shot.

Regular orb:
Cost: 20C for 20
Speed: Medium
Damage: 1/2 Heart

Water orb:
Cost: 20C for 2
Speed: Fast
Damage: None
Stuns enemies.

Healing orb:
Cost: 30C for 2
Speed: Very Fast
Damage: None
Heals injured team mates 2 hearts. Essentially the Fire arrow of the Mage.

Bomb orb:
Cost: 50C for 1
Speed: Slow
Damage: 2 Hearts

At close range orbs will knockback Knights. Archers are immune as they don't sit in clunky metal that orbs can melt.

Ability:
Holding down the right mouse button will make you Invisible temporarily, while invisible you are swifter. You are not invisible on the Minimap and any extra objects attached to you will be visible (flags, arrows etc.). There is a lengthy recharge time.

Note that all of the current class "Abilities" are related in some way to transport. Gliding, grappling and with Invisibility you can move safely and swiftly.

I was recently made an admin on his server, so I intend to be a good one and set a good example. Hopefully now that I can ban griefers and etc there won't be as many people doing dumb crap and pissing me off. Be warned, I don't tolerate cheating!

Can't wait for that problem with modded servers to get fixed, so we can finally start adding some fresh maps to the rotation. I'm gonna make some Aphelion-Only maps here real soon.

 

I was banned today around 1530PDT and was not given any reason as to why. I was a builder the whole map, building fortifications around the flags and setting up tunnels for quick travel.. I play often on this server and love the custom maps and would like to continue to keep playing here. Again, I was given no warning or reason. Please let me know what we can do together to resolve this.

 

I banned someone in error yesterday in the middle of a heated match. I saw two people griefing and banned one guy because I specifically saw him grief a tower, then I saw in the chatlog someone had made a collapse of 600+ blocks on a team and thought that was the second guy who was griefing. If that was you, I apologize. Doesn't help that the ACP is a bit clunky in its current format.

Also I don't like 3 day bans. I'd prefer 7 day bans instead of 3, because 3 days is piddly piss and a griefer will just come back and grief when those three days are up. A whole week is more lasting and has a longer psychological effect. Personally though I will ban people for varying lengths depending on perceived intent and amount of damage caused.

1. Guy starts digging out a couple doors, then moves on to another couple doors, with no perceived reason. I freeze him and ask why he's doing that. If I get a "I don't know lol im just new" response, I'll tell him what griefing is and that it isn't tolerated. I will then unfreeze him, and pretend to go on my way as if I don't care. Once offscreen I may switch to spectator mode and see if he's griefing again. If he is, and I deem it to be relatively minor, I will tell him again "no grieifing" and then ban him for a day.

2. Guy digs out under the flag and puts spikes. This is a very blatant attempt to set a team back, annoy them, and make them lose. I personally do not tolerate this and I will immediately freeze him and ban him for 3 days.

3. Guy throws keg in base/causes huge collapses in base. This is extreme griefing and should have a zero tolerance policy. If I see someone doing this, I'm immediately freezing him or permabanning him, especially if in the middle of a heated match. EXCEPTION: If a match is clearly won (Ie: We have all their flags and are just loling around the base) and peoplestart tossing kegs, then it's completely fine to destroy the base as a way of saying "lol we already won". Heck I do this too.


Right now there are maybe two servers with admins that punish griefers. Griefing is a serious issue and needs to be dealt with. If someone griefs majorly and I permaban them for it, they are free to post in this thread and explain their actions. In the case of echo it was a heated match (IIRC and yeah I know who you are so that was my bad) so I made a split second decision. I'm sorry for the confusion. That being said, posting in this thread and asking for an unban takes only a few minutes and we're fine with unbanning people when it comes to that.

But I think we can all agree that there needs to be a serious policy against griefers, especially those that destroy whole bases. I don't tolerate it, and I think permanent bans for those particular individuals aren't uncalled for. Call it admin abuse if you want, but frankly I'd rather play on a zero tolerance server than one that doesn't give a shit. Which is, by the way, 98% of the other servers. If people don't like the zero tolerance server, then they can go to other ones. And I think most legitimate players would prefer a zero tolerance server anyway.

 

Hey guys, thanks for the reply and thanks for the unban Klokinator. I felt it had to be in error and I'm glad this is the case. I also agree that griefing should be taken seriously and agree with your zero tolerance policy. Thanks again.

 

I like this server, been having lots of fun on it :)

 

Fun server, @Aphelion3371 lags on it pretty bad though...

Good server nonetheless.

 

Some mods we're looking at getting on the server can be found in the Items+ thread. Take note that no mods will be added until the devs sort out how to make modded servers significantly more visible to the general public.

 

A new CTF server will be online tomorrow (or in a few days), featuring my Mage class mod.

Spoiler: CTF with Mages

This mod will introduce the Combat triangle.

Knights will be powerful against Archers.
Archers will be powerful against Mages.
Mages will be powerful against Knights.

The Mage
is most effective in a group, they are vulnerable to Archers as they cannot shield against Arrows and are ineffective at dispatching Orbs over great distances. Mages are effective against Knights as Orbs knock them back and melt their armor.

Orbs are ammunition. There is a 3 second interval between each shot.

Regular orb:
Cost: 20C for 20
Speed: Medium
Damage: 1 Heart
Knockback: 25% chance of knockback to knights.

Water orb:
Cost: 20C for 2
Speed: Fast
Damage: None
Stuns enemies.

Healing orb:
Cost: 30C for 2
Speed: Very Fast
Damage: None
Heals injured team mates 1 heart. Essentially the Fire arrow of the Mage.

Bomb orb:
Cost: 80C for 1
Speed: Slow
Damage: 3 Hearts
Knockback: 100% chance of knockback to knights.


If Knights attempt to shield against orbs they will be knocked back (only if shot close to the knight). Archers are immune as they don't sit in clunky metal that orbs can melt.

Ability:
Holding down the right mouse button will make you Invisible temporarily, while invisible you are swifter. You are not invisible on the Minimap and any extra objects attached to you will be visible (flags, arrows etc.). There is a lengthy recharge time.

Cool, I love playing as wizards in games. Looking forward to showing foolz my UNLIMITED POWER!

 

Reminds me of runescape of the combat triangle

 

I've been helping him with balance, and right now it's ridiculously fun to play as. Note that there will be changes to the vanilla classes and there will be new dynamics to work with, but these will be tweaked over time until they're at the optimal level.

 

gg man gg >_<

 

CTF with Mages server online!

 

I was gonna wait until I saw a public server before suggesting anything else, but I too thought that 7 onscreen (sometimes 8) was too much. I think that there should be a hard limit of 4, and creating a 5th would destroy the earliest one made instantly, same for next created orb and etc.

 

Please return the gravity to normal on the non-modded server. It's kills the game.

 

I never changed it, but I've fixed it.

 

If it's -non modded-, the gravity shouldn't be affected. Because it's non modded. Because it's vanilla.

 

Aphelion, what website did you say you use when you make maps to mirror the sides?
