How To Fix Recycling?

SoBe_Dragon

here is how i think it should be. If a player presses F4, nothing happens, that player still holds their resources. If they join the spectator team, or quit from the server, then the aliens should receive 50% of that players resources. just a thought

I though i heard them talk about fixing that in 1.04? not sure.
Need to be as it is lame. Only benefits those gorges with who die with 79 res, lol
hehe

Once you press F4 all your resources should go *poof*. That's the best solution. So SORRY, don't leave the game, and if you do so SORRY.

Please Dev's don't worry about making compromises, just do what you need to, to eliminate the problem.

Agreed, thou I really can't see how you could expoilt a different version. You can track the ammount of res per said WONID each game. For example a gorg dies with alot of res, instead of that going to the team, it can we logged to that WONID. Even if he leaves, and the game is still in progress it will be remembered. Thou it might really increase *LAG* <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

There is no good solution to this problem, and the "end-all" solution, which would be to completely remove the transferring of resources, is the only true solution to stop would-be resource hackers..

I am willing to admit to "rejoining" servers when I have 30 resources, we're getting sieged on one hive and the gorge is saving up for another one. It helps speed up the resources gained by the gorge, but unnaturally. The only way to prevent me from being tempted to "help the team out" would be to remove it completely.

I'm afraid that noone could think up a feasible way to prevent "resource exploiting" of the aliens' side, and the final solution was used :/

read the front page. They said that when a player leaves the team he will leave 50% of his resources. So they arent removing it for 1.04.....woot

Only half res goes to the fatty, so whats the point giving him 16 res out of 33, when if you stayed in the game he would get that extra res that would normall go to you, and get ALL your res. Totally pointless to exploit it now, unless you have 50 res and your hive is half dead, by which time your buggered anyway.
