Why can’t you just leave rune the way it is. In my opionion, although i know it isnt shared by much of the rest of lcc, the new mods suck donkey testicles. All i want to do is get a shield and a sword and have a real honor duel, not fight a guy with a magic shield shieldless! I always end up leaving the server in a heap of obscenities and complaints, it just isnt rune anymore, its an uneven battle where the shielded has an almost unbeatable advantage over everyone else. Me want old LCA back.
Hai Ya!
I think you are right about the shield thing, but it does still all depend on who’s playing. I’ve seen people (myself included)
sacrifice their shield after a run of 6 or 7 just to make it fair again…
Maybe as an alternative the mod could make the shield upgrade to a magic one, then downgrade back to wooden with still the loss of health. The magic shield people can definitely get outta hand (myself included hehe).
Da Fistinator!
Nonsense, Masu. Don’t tell me you-unshielded never killed a player bearing a shield; besides…his number of weapons are very reduced (go throw something at him, a head or arm-hehehe). And the thing with the magic one -allow me>>CRAP!!- the guy is almost dead when he finnaly got that shield.

first I need to agree, that I liked the first and best version of our LCC Arena much more. Tht is not only because of my little “I-See-ONLY-Shields-n-Little-Axe” - problem, it’s because I was a shield user. The idea of breakable weapons I welcome though.
Here some ideas:
First we have two servers and only one is populated by our club / clan, as far as I can see that. So I would say let’s make one like the old one and the other for new invetions. So all can decide! The other idea is, that for the purpose of hornorable fights, let’s make a 1on1Arena how it is for HOV, where noone can break in those fights! HOV is not that expensive! I also would share my game if we have a server where I can upload an iso!
I know Master Unter’s intention was to teach honor to all players, so the idea of a HOV-1on1-Arena isn’t that useful for this purpose. I also understand that lamers are pissing off our members, so we should think about a better way. With two honor servers, which are different (one HOV, one newinventions, as the running one [or one as the LCC Arena now is and one as the old Arena!) we would server both peoples. I can’t recall any LCC-Member on the Cuycle server, but I know I’m just back from lurkdoom and so I don’t have much insight into the current situation.
I also would vote for a Capture The Torch - Saturday (or any other day). I know I was away a long time, but now I want to help as much as I can to make our club as pleasureable as possible.
I guess I’m still in the position of the secretary, and I will try to do as best as I can, with new ideas!
I’m with u here masu. Last night I took 4 swings at an opponent and left 4 weaponz lying on the ground. Give me a fuckin break.There is just too much to deal with in one game. I would love to have one arena of each though.The lamers really love the crucify mod too. Every time u beat one down he chat runs to the feed stations. An now we cant even freeze kill them for retribution anymore. I tried to prove the point that the shield thing was too much of an advantage last night. I would run in an get a shield quickly and then just run away with the game. I won with an average score of 25-5, with the 5 coming usually pre shield. I did that for 5 or 6 games in a row.
I’m really pissed cause this is the second time I am typing this so im giong to just state my opinions. If you want to know why I hold Them just ask about it so I don’t have to explain them all.
Go back to old shields
Get rid of food.
Keep destroyable and dropping weapons.
Make one way entrace into large arena or roman death apon exit.
Restore full health after arena is cleared.
I believe that is all I had put in this post so I know you will have questions if you care so just ask them and I will answer
\1) Business with the second server. It’s been a real conundrum; a lot of people welcome the idea of a “real” LCArena, HOV style. Not bad: but we need a way to set it apart from the original “Low Cal Arena.” CTF has also caught my attention and might be a worthy addition with some “time share” mechanism. Or, why not: Three Low Cal servers! Lol: Arena, Cycle, and CTF. The idea of a cycle seems to holds some theoretical potential, and perhaps we shouldn’t do away with it too lightly.
\2) Shields. The “shield-promotion” was a little deal we put together for RoV to add a mix into the game. It could be that breakable weapons does that sufficiently. Your cries have not gone unheeded.
Thank you, and about cycle, i really enjoy the maps, but do away with the runes! LCC never uses runes, and I have a hard time dealing with the rune powers. Sorry about all this complaining unter!
Okay, I’m calm now and would like to put reason into my post.
Get back to old shields - Now when you play you win big or lose big and that gets old. It messes up honor fights, and makes dodge mace a little unfair also.
Get rid of food make it fake or poison - Now that health is automatically restored it is no longer needed and be riding of it would reduce both lag and runners.
3.Keep destroyable and dropping weapons - its fun its my favorite twist
4.Make one way intrance in to large arena or roman death apon exit or even crusifix - stops runners from getting to the safe zone. Also would add some strategy to fighting if we went back to the old shield way. you would be careful not to hid the shield so if you broke yours you could pick his up.
5.Fully restore health after clearing arena - we all have had three way fights in wich the luck guy to get the first kill is almost guaranteed the second because he has healed. This is for fairness.
6.The deal with automatic pickup - This is annoying at times but useful currently. If we were to implement my 4th idea roving this would make restocking posible, but currently it takes away part of dodgemace.
See I was so mad I forgot one.
