My concern goes to the regulars who play on a server and try to get it
while the random joiners go on and kill everyone despite everybody
saying don't do it, just for this one round. If not nearly everyone
isn't participating, killing it without a lot of huntsman snipers is too
hard to achieve.
I have 1200+ new players each day on stats during halloween now and a
lot of them i never see (which is perfectly fine) but i just wanted some
method to keep the most of the server inline so that no admin is needed
to keep the players on tight rope and they can get the achievement and
that hat.
Valve already made it so easy to get that gift so i don't understand why
the boss killing couldn't be made easier too.

This doesn't seem important enough to warrant adding a cvar and disabling
killing and such. This is all anecdotal but on my server there doesn't seem
to be a huge issue about killing the boss and getting into the book. There
will always be cases of people greifing and such but if it's that
problematic then they will find another server to get their hat.
If a user is only on your server because you happen to be on that map, and
they -only- want the hat, and decide to leave because they cannot get a
hat... I'm going to be a negative nancy and just say you probably aren't
going to make a regular repeat customer out of them anyways. And if you
uber everyone on the island then what is to stop pyros from airblasting
people off? Or what is to stop people from body blocking and physically
preventing you from moving past? You start going down a slope that isn't
worth traversing during such a short holiday event.

Someone on my server suggested we do something similar but we didn't. We
figured this would be considered abuse of the halloween system.
What's Valve position on this matter?

For the time being there is this sourcemod plugin:

I haven't had the chance to try it so can't comment on how good it is.

Can we please get a cvar to disable killing during Merasmus on
halloween
event map, but allow all other times? I'm getting tired of people
killing
everyone who try to kill Merasmus and then laugh about it while the
rest
get off the server without the hat that they so badly wanted. There's
still
a lot of people who haven't managed to kill him not even once as every
time
someone kills them either before they enter the book or at the island.
Yes, it's supposed to be fun but it isn't for these guys. I can't be
around watching and helping others all the time, nor can any of the 40+
admins. So can you please add a cvar like
sv_halloween_boss_kill_disable
1
that would make people not being able to kill anyone except Merasmus
while
he's active on the map and once on the island, making people ubered
like
after exiting it (so no one kills anyone). Make it just an option that
server owners can toggle on or off. Wouldn't hurt anyone and would help
some people. There is still time before the event ends.
Thanks.
