Now not to overstate the obvious, but I've noticed an alarming trend among ESF servers to leave their time limits set to default. With ESF built as it is now, with only one transformation, this is moderately acceptable. 19 out of 20 people will be unable to transform as Krillin, but the rest of the classes have a pretty good chance of geting their own. Now, when ESF hits beta 2 in a matter of months or years, however long that takes, no one is going to be capable of hitting SSj2 until we raise these time limits.

Would any of the admins out there right now mind raising their time limits as they are right now? I'm tired of missing out on transformations or constantly jumping from map to map until the server crashes. Some of the maps deserve more play (though others less).

Thats not enough. Trust me.
What I hate about ESF is that if someone weaker than you
kills you, you lose like 50,000PL. And the weak *****es keep you
from ascending.

Sometimes I could never transform till I killed people like 100 times.
And whored the Kamehameha to finally reach my limit. The people
I can never Ascend with are the ones with 2,000,000PL +. Gokou
doesn't count cause he ascends a bit earlier. Like 1,800,000PL.
But I have sometimes ascended as Vegeta/Piccolo/Cell.

To counter this I specialise in vegeta, who also is my fave. This mostly gives me good chance of 10 min SSJ before mapswitch.

Still, our character selection should not be limited to a handful of characters who can transform quickly enough to enjoy their new power levels.

They need to decrease the damage lower PLs can do to higher PLs with melee.

The noobs don't annoy me that much, unless there is a swarm of them:shocked: . Then it is time to carpet bomb the map, or nuke it either one is fine. The most amusing noobs are the ones who don't know how to melee. They try to, but they just don't know wich button is the attack button:p . It's so funny!:devil:

The annoying ones melee and then zanzoken around over and over when you try to melee them. You can tell they aren't sure of what they are doing, but it makes it more frustrating to chase after them when you know their friends are right behind you. Either way this is off topic. Where are the server moderators?

I run a server! I have the listenserver.cfg setup for 60 minutes before map change, I will make it longer if you want, and I take any map requests. Because I now what you are talking about, I once played as krillin it took me 45 mins to get to transform pl of 3 mil and the map was about to change to I put the mp_timelimit 99999 and I dont change maps unless everyone decides to because we are sick of the map or whatever.

i don't mind the pl giving when dieing. its cool. but indeed less.

Once I was on a server with me at 85 frags and the next in line on 40. And we were both on as long. And his pl was way bigger. (a million or 2)

I mean.... WTF (sorry for that brute language :D) its double in frags for me.

Actually I just figured that out recently. Your power level does not depend on frags. Indeed, you can have 0 kills and be the most powerful player on the map. I'm surprised the manual does not explain this.

People need to know. Get the word out. Stop leaving servers on the default time limit NOW!
