A solution to playing dressup

[Ryko]

There's a lot of angst and derision on EU3 concerning players who take too long at the ammo box; this is also matched by scorn and rule-waving when people take weapons and equipment outside of their role.

 

My suggestion?  Remove the ability to choose.

 

When people spawn in right now in a certain class, they already have a default loadout; just keep it at that.  Perhaps allow them to change an extremely narrow array of options, like the scope on their rifle and the number of magazines they can carry.  But different uniforms, non-role or faction weaponry... this can and does lead to all sorts of problems.

This was tried a long time ago and nearly everyone on EU3 wasn't happy with that.

There's no real solution to this dress up problem short of having a timer or only allowing people to load loadouts from it (but that would penalise people who want to experiment with different roles)

I strongly disagree with removing everything. Glitch had a perfect solution: "You have 5 minutes for loadout." Everybody listened. The command only needs to be decisive in intention and clear voice.

They're also blacklisting some items on the server forcing you to go into the virtual arsenal if you want them like the face masks.

[PERO]

As far as I know, some blacklisting is done, but there is a massive issue with Arsenal then, sometimes it does not allow you to load the saved stuff.
