How about this for an idea.....

1) reset everyone's flag stats back to zero

2) anyone who has the flagging APs already can keep them.

3) starting today, flag stats indicate team flags and not personal flags.

4) the flagging leaderboards show these new team flags

5) anyone who does not have some of the flagging APs can get them from the new team flags concept.

I'm going to post a new thread on this idea in the general forum. If you agree, please find that thread and post your support (or disagreement) there.

Changes with the flag system should have been done as early as season 1. There are several players out there who just lack the 5k and 10k flags AP to be in Leaderboard and now it will take forever before they get those APs.

[Classychic]

This is a very tricky change. I'm sure players who've had their 5k or 10k Flag APs completed are happy because they can now play CTF the way it was intended. However this does not do much for new players who may have had their sights set on the leaderboard. I doubt ANYONE with 10k flags achieved that number playing real CTF. I agree with what Zeus and Serancha said above. The flag AP should not be the basis for being a top player. It IS hard work to make those flags, but most of them were not EARNED in the same way we now have to.

I wish STS would reset all flag statistics, honestly. Or add a new counter for games won. With how things are right now, we can expect to see the same people on the leaderboards for as long as they play the game.

Edit: As I was writing, Energizeric read my mind and put it in bullet form.

any changes to ctf this late in the game is a bad move. Flagging has been going on for a long time. If u were going to change it it should have been when it first started not now. You're assuring people with less than 5k and 10k flags will never get on the leaderboard.

bad move sts.

True

[Kingslaughter]

Remove flag ap then dev...please

[Frohnatur]

+1 energizeric

[will0]

why would we need individual flagging AP don't know whats the purpose of it? Unless is AP for Guild team work for most flags taken which sounds more logical.

[Bellaelda]

Wow...
Love what u guys do, but flag ap is now basically a "5 yr plan".

I appreciate the idea... To stop ppl from just flagging, or so I'm assuming.....
But I don't think this is the answer.... Maybe I'm wrong... I'll try to keep an open mind but right now it's very frustrating.

[ultimategun10]

I agree with u

[ultimategun10]

I not capture even one flag now it's more difficult for me

[ultimategun10]

A new interesting system of flagging should be made where players capture from monsters or bosses

[Theillist1]

STS adds a valuable rule to CTF. A simple addition and everyones gonna rage about it? Give me a break! Have you ever played CTF on any game or IRL where u can just cap flags at will and tie? NO, because CTF is simple protect your flag and steal the enemy flag. Dont hate STS for trying to do what's right. THANK YOU SOO MUCH STS for adding that one simple rule! I AM SOOO HAPPY TODAY!

Now the 10K AP is Hard for New Players, Reset the Flag count in New Client or Make a Seasonal Leaderboard....

[Endkey]

im really starting to lol@pvp too...
i know many people now who were at a constant pace to 10k flags..and now they are thinking of quitting.
Altho i am happy on the fact that free flagging will somewhhat stop..but this is a very hard measure.

[Bendikt]

Dear STS and other AL-Players,

these update (control your own flag so you can flag) that have NOTHING to do with Ctf. Now you make Ctf to Tdm. Ctf was before this update comes.
Because: In other game with Ctf like shooter game you must take the flag from other base and bring it in your own base. The other team with stolen flag must kill and drop the flag back. NOBODY controll the own flag. NOBODY.
When you don't kill the player who have stolen flag or make nothing...that is like...a gangster have stolen your money and you look how he go away with your money and you make nothing. So you can not say Ctf is boring and say to STS make Ctf interesting.. You all make Ctf boring when you don't kill the person with the flag from your team.
But now you must control your own flag that you can flag? THAT ISN'T Ctf. Everybody kills in a team now the person who have the flag that is your own flag AND the flag from the other team. Nobody can flag and flag is impossible. The archiv for new player 10k flag is now impossible. Now Ctf is switch to Tdm (TEAM death match). That is..sorry for that word...bullsht.
I hope you understand my bad english. I come from germany.

Your Bendikt

• Free Respec weekend has come to a close.
• 2X Story Token Weekend has ended.
• In PvP, you can no longer capture the enemy's flag without controlling your own.

Hello,
First of all the first two update are okay with me .
But the last... i don't think so.. Please did u think before to add that update .. what will happen with players.. i think NO.
Ill tell you Every Guild and every player have Allies and if im obligated to kill my Ally in the oppostive team or my friend then its a big big problem...you may loose alot of players playing this game!You will let allies guilds fall down. from a .... update and we will get more slow in flags then i can say good bye to lb. i have 5k Goals and how im i suppose to get 4k more by that update who wont let me flag peacefully and fast..all the think i want and all players want is to get back to the old update the real ctf capture

Thank you,
Ghostu(9)Rogue
