Good Ambush Spawns

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 This thread is for players to post the IDs of events where there were good ambush spawns. By 'good', I mean challenging but not impossible. Where the AI have a good initial setup. The idea is that we can start to re-use these ambushes, and this will lead to better over-all setups rather than relying on them randomly being good. Any event IDs you post here will be checked by Marshals (via playbacks) before being added. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 16, 2010, 1:37 pm Last edited Apr 16, 2010, 1:38 pm by *sam*

*Rezeak* The Dark Knights Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,377 Joined: Aug 8, 2009 S199595 challenging enough to almost breach my TT on 3 sides. couldn't push forwards or I woulda get overrun, so had to turn around... TT being a TT doesn't turn around so quickly, so almost got overrun anyway. managed to survive at the end though ......................... vet wv deathrceL1 marshal pvp2 zom pvp3 Posted Apr 16, 2010, 2:33 pm

They just wait until you're out of sight, and then set up the ambush as you're coming over the hill or around the corner. Also, I had the funnest ambush ever yesterday. I was expecting the enemy to spawn in front of me, so I spawned farthest to the circle possible with my cars, and the lorry I bagged from the scout. Turned out it was an ambush and there were 5 cars in front of me, one directly to the side and one behind. I had no choice but to charge into and past the group, using the buzzers as shields. It was great fun. S199450 ......................... wv vet zom marshal pvp2 paintladder Posted Apr 16, 2010, 2:41 pm

Lord Foul .-^-HellRazors-^. Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Rules Council Posts: 3,543 Joined: Jan 12, 2008 S201262 Not a very pleasant spot as it gives nero zero options. Sam, I would suggest moving the placement up a bit into the open area for the players cars as this spot gives no room to turn around. Considering we are technically not supposed to use the circle in a strategic way, this placement forces the player to do so. If I had been using lorries, tankers or any other large chassis it would have turned out farse worse. It's bad enough enemies that I can easily hit at 200m away are popping out of thin air 85m behind me with a 360+ scout before I even move a car. If those 3 behind me had been coming around the hill they were in front of to show they were coming out of hiding, they would have still been within rocket range on turn 2 and it would have looked realistic. PS: As usual I had a few minor earthquakes to give my scout that bouncy feel. ......................... vet race1 deathrce1 wv zom circuit1 pvp1 northernsummer community circuit3 paintball55,205,126 Posted Apr 21, 2010, 7:06 am Last edited Apr 21, 2010, 7:09 am by Lord Foul

OK.. a good example of one *not* to record for future use then. The idea is, when we have a decent set of 'good' ones recorded, then they can start to be used rather than randomising. This will remove the chance of 'bad' ones like yours.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 21, 2010, 2:34 pm

Serephe Collision Force Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,496 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 I disagree with zero options there -- with the pirates weaker toward the rear, turning and rushing past them is easily doable. Personally I think the canyon maps need a bit of a reworking to add more paths though (think the maze). ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted Apr 21, 2010, 2:39 pm
