I actually really enjoy playing and countering the Hoth 2nd obj rush. But I don't like that it's "feast or famine" for the obj whether or not you successfully rush it. Some anti-rush solutions have been proposed for this obj. I could see two potential solutions:
1. "Soft" anti-rush. Maybe add like a 2-second delay before the door opens, which would give defense more time to setup to defend before the offense guys are at the hack panel. This still gives offense a crack at getting the obj quickly, which means they are rewarded for finishing the first obj with multiple guys alive. But they don't automatically get it: defense has time to place mines and so forth. If offense still rapes them at spawn, then they might get the obj after all. Basically this option allows offense to get the obj quickly if they play really, really well and the defense shits the bed.
2. "Hard" anti-rush. Something more strict such as not opening the door at all, or a 5+ second delay, essentially forcing everyone to SK and respawn at the next obj.
I can do all of this with the server mod BTW, we don't need to patch the map thankfully.

2Without layout changes it will be cancer, especially after saber changes where Jedi is safe to play here now.
Re: Hoth 2nd obj rush
3I think people just need to learn to adapt. Like today Black freaked out on second obj because he wasn't used to facing a D Jedi, and he got pushed into the pit 8000 times. He didn't attempt to go caves a single time, and he kept going to the opposite side of the pit from me so I couldn't see the D Jedi while he was pushing 90% of the time.
Re: Hoth 2nd obj rush
4It is just cancerous with current layout. It is like cargo's obj2. It is just about spaming DEMP and push. Not fun at all. On my Hoth I shortened cave and decreased Ion hack.
If you want to make anti-rush, just add teleport in bunkers.

Re: Hoth 2nd obj rush
6Yeah hence why I kept telling you to go to the same side as me. You kept going to the opposite side of wherever I was so the D jedi could just hide behind the turret pushing you while I can't shoot him. You also never realized that cave exists for some reason.Black wrote: Wed Nov 21, 2018 2:45 pmI was kind of expecting you to do something in fairness.Duo wrote: Tue Nov 20, 2018 3:30 pm I think people just need to learn to adapt.

I mentioned both of those things in my original post, btw.
Re: Hoth 2nd obj rush
8I also prefer removal over making changes however, leaving the objective alone is my first choice.
Re: Hoth 2nd obj rush
9Ok well given the vote counts, you guys seem to agree that you don't want the obj changed. Therefore, I don't want to see a single person bitch about this objective being a "feast or famine" depending on whether the rush was successful ever again.
Re: Hoth 2nd obj rush
10Well whaddya know. People who don't want anti rush are now in the minority. Is this going to be the new "magyk doesn't want class limits so we can't have them" of 2018?
