Horde Sandcastle USA, soon to be Horde Sandcastle USA - A+++ Fun Rules
Hi All, owner of Horde Sandcastle USA here. I'm here to let you all know that since there's now a lovely following of this mod here in the states now, some changes are coming to the original USA server.

I love that people have adopted my change to 120 seconds for skeleton duration, that minor tweak is a great one to make the mod a little more fun.

I'm going to turn this server into a "fun" mode, to counter the "hardcore" modes. I'll do things like make skeleton duration 1 minute, increase points earned per kill, increase the difficulty of normal, and generally make my server a bit more rewarding for just picking it up and playing for a few. Instead of needing to grind for 4 hours just to get the Catasling, only to lose it because of [reason].

I find myself wanting that sort of experience available and so I'll be making these changes soon. Just want to inform the community about it and see what ya'll's feedback would be, and what you might want to have included. (Normal = Hard, Hard = Death Incarnate, etc., etc.)

Good :) Thanks to you and your USA based server the mod is now well known in north america, you gave it visibility. Nice thing to propose a faster way to good gear.

Changes Made:

Normal is Harder
-More enemies with more health
Hard is Even Harder
-More enemies with more health

Trap Reset Durations reduced
Trap Damage increased

Score per kill increased by loads, by wave 1, everyone should have enough money to get a weapon, by wave 10 you could probably have your dream loadout.

Bombers at wave 50 normal, 30 hard.

Jo, catasling is disabled for now and bombers are less strong and more rare. May affect ur settings.
Also, hotfix is out.

Server's back up now, didn't know there was a patch update until just now.

Catasling is out for now? Glad I have these settings than because it will increase parity and raise the damage floor.

You know what's sad... until your extra modded server is tweaked and refined... there's no more skill or fun left on playing on that server, and I won't even know when the server will be fixed, because sadly, I no longer have the intention on returning to said server.
The "Fun rules" aren't making it fun. They're making newer and more disrespectful players hold the majority in the game, and removing any semblance of difficulty from the game. The game isn't fun anymore.

I do wish that there were more hordemode servers that could hold a decent lobby, because now that the only hordemode server I could play on is broken, I have nowhere to return to.

I have to say I'm extremely dissappointed in these changes.

If the amount of points being given out is to stay like it is now, all prices on gear are going to need to be looked over. Getting 400hp upgrade and a zwei by round 2 isnt fun, and lacks any progression beyond wave 5. Completely ruined the challenge aspect of this mod, which is what made it different, and fun.

It's great that less fortunate players can finally try out some of the stronger wepons, but as for having some sort of goal to save up for, I just don't see the point of playing this anymore.

Hah, It's hit or miss, I went overboard but can return it to vanilla settings in a matter of seconds. Like I said, I can only edit these variables blind and so with some tweaking an accord will be reached, but this is potentially the first time any of these settings have been tweaked as such and so I'll try to find that pleasing middle ground for rewarding veterans as well as limiting punishment for a green user.

There are several USA and Europe servers now as well, so I feel free to experiment and try new things.

edit] I've reset the settings and tweaked minor things.

Well glad it's not set in stone. I'll stick around to try and help test your changes and try to deliver others feedback aswell.

Yeah, not at all set in stone. Very much a fluid concept, what "fun" is. It has to be a consensus.

Hey there, got a few players to report, one for exploiting the 400 hp health chest and another guy for trying to trollkickvote me during a game. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561197998632511/ Look Behind You started trolling me after the other guy exploiting the 400 hp chest glitch left the game. Kicked me off walls and wasted oilpots, also called me an angry kid though he was the one being an angry idiot.... https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/AshidoNova/ He was the one constantly abusing the 400 hp chest glitch, even when we told him to stop using it to get full hp. I´m hoping that they both get banned from USA server, I can´t stand it when people only troll in the mode or use exploits.

Yeah that Look Behind You Guy ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561197998632511/ ) sure is a wierdo, first he kicked snipey of the wall and got kicked from the server, then he entered the server every 5 min again to start a kickvote against snipey and spam insults in the chat. If we didnt manage to kick him fast enough, he wasted the oil (and firepots) and started tkilling.

Thank you for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for them, and if there's an unavoidable issue, please message me and I'll get it resolved.

@Solaire - How do you like the settings as they are? I reduced most rewards to limit abuse, but tried to keep them high enough that it's a little more "fun." As a veteran, is it too easy or just easy enough? I want it to be a pick up, play for 20 minutes, and drop it type of server, because not all of us have time to grind for 2 hours.
