Hopeless 2 (v2.50 - v2.59)

[Remus]

To conclude: no matter what you do, it's impossible to please them all.

But I think you are pleasing the wrong people!

You are wrong my friend.
The veterans got dozens of updates because they asked for certain features.

But you and a few others miss the main point here:
>95% of the daily players are unregistered.

Hi Remus. For the first time I'm sorry to have to say I don't like one of your updates. I'm talking about the Veteran access to the Beginner camps. I don't care about players using it as a frag generator but most of the good camps were already neglected anyway (VIP,TFC,KIN,SIB,ABC). Now everything is splintered up and it's near impossible to get a good map going anywhere with enough decent players.
Just my opinion..

yes, bro
i agree with you also

I Sootie,Topz,Prof, I dont like the beginners camp either

I also agree with Remus 95% unregistered 5% registered, He needs to please the majority.
We are veterans, we have CTF & DOM free, Lenny & Topz have played for 5 or 6 hrs today in CTF (it was excellent).
Maybe if we use these modes, then we can bug Remus for a new mode.

I agree. It's borrrrring to play against noobs for more than a few minutes. Now today, supreme, John_H, profesorhr, ace-007 and myself got a chance to play free teams in SMC. This was HUGE fun!!!!
Ty, ty, ty! And thanks to Topz007 for jumping in when i had to leave for work!

[Remus]

To Sootie, Topz007, profesorhr and other gurus

Folks, this discussion is pointless.
Are you forced to play in the Beginner camps?
NO.
Some "veterans" are noob killers, the others are not.
Let them all to have fun!

enough for noobs so killer.
beginners camp for beginners.
500 Frags and above should not enter the beginners camp
we have to go back to Old.
Everyone PLAYING beginners camp.

I want see real players ''Free For All''

[FCs33]

Remus: I suggest a better translation to spanish in the game:

Code: Select all

¡Crea su propia tropa y consiga bonificaciones!
Ubica 3 jugadores con 500 frags, elijan un nombre para el equipo y registresen en el foro.

And is possible to add the message "your connection is GOOD/BAD/etc." after checking our ping. Naturally I have high ping and I never know my connection state (for example if Im jittering).

My spanish is not very good, but "registresen" is NOT a spanish word.


Josh (Timberwolf) is the author of those translations. It was 3 years ago.
Anyway, here is a better one:

[Remus]

Too many noob killers in the Beginner camps (5 points per frag).
Clear the browser cache and reload the game.
I have a much better proposal for you: the new Infection

- the human is Selene (a Pro Package character).
- 10 points per frag
- at least 3 players (not 4) are needed.
- 25 points if you win the round
- a monster needs 3 kills to turn into human again.
- you can see all the players on the radar: humans and monsters.

Kick out the "veterans" from the beginner camps and infect them all!

I can't remember if this has been asked before, but can we (in some way) have a Team Infection mod.
It maybe a good idea, if we all have a think about it and how it could work.
Or another type of team mod would be good. Have a thing about it.

[Remus]

Or another type of team mod would be good. Have a thing about it.

I'm open to any good idea.

But "Team Infection" does not work because Infection means "the last man standing".
If you play "humans team vs monsters team" you will generate a mess:
- a killed human changes the team
- a killed monster does not change anything
It's a nonsense.

[Lenny]

Well my 1st idea, is for all team players to start as humans. Once one team have a monsters in their team a timer would start for X amount of minutes.
The team with the most players still human, after the time is up, score a point.

2nd idea is to have an object to infect, let's say the cow, once the cow is infected by a team, then she will hula hoop for them, then it's up to that team to stop the other team from infecting the cow for X amount of minutes, to score a point.

I've just been trying to think of new team mods, bcoz for me that's the way I would like to see the game develope.
Please anybody who's got some ideas, post them here

this map would be amazing

[Remus]

1) Well my 1st idea, is for all team players to start as humans. Once one team are al monsters, then it's up to the other team to keep on of their players human, for X amount of minutes, to score a point.

2) 2nd idea is to have an object to infect, let's say the cow, once the cow is infected by a team, then she will hula hoop for them, then it's up to that team to stop the other team from infecting the cow for X amount of minutes, to score a point.

3) I've just been trying to think of new team mods, bcoz for me that's the way I would like to see the game develope.
Please anybody who's got some ideas, post them here

1) In an ideal environment, that "it's up to the other team" might work.
But when a bunch of players leave & join the camps all the time
(for various reasons: connection glitch, messed up computer, buggy browser, ...),
it won't work for sure.

2) that's something similar with the Domination in Unreal Tournament.
The only difference is that they have a kind of orbs instead of that cow.
My vision about Domination (the current one) is more close to Hostages:
"bring the dog home" means that you dominate the map (and the other team).
Anyway, a team mode based on an objective (conquer and defend) is a good idea.

3)

A new server has been added to the game servers list.
It's located in Spain.
It should provide better connection to all the players from Europe and Asia.
All the registered players with over 1000 frags are invited to test it.
The players from Turkey and India are welcome.


p.s.
Clear the browser cache and reload the game.
The ping test is performed every time you change the game server.

When will we have a server in South America? We have good players active here.

[Remus]

Yes, there are many good players from South America.

It's up to them to find a server in Brazil (for example).
All you need is Java 1.6 installed on that server.
I will provide a small Java application to run on that server (the installation takes a few minutes).
After that it will be added to the game servers list.

Can you rename the server to Europe because people aren't going on it because they think it's only for Spain.

[Remus]

Can you rename the server to Europe because people aren't going on it because they think it's only for Spain.

So in your opinion, the other servers are only for USA.

You cannot "rename" a server.

No one goes on the Spain server and I really want them to because I think their and my conn will be better in that server.

[Remus]

Of course.
Only the players with over 1000 frags have access.
And on that server the "veterans" cannot kill noobs and dead heads anymore.

But in the next days, the REAL veterans should play a few team matches on that server.

I have almost the same ping in Spain server

Still waiting for a South America one...

Your ping value is not important.
This game has been design to run perfect if your ping is < 160 ms.
What really matters is the connection quality.
A few countries (including Turkey and India) have bad connection to Chicago - USA.
They have connection glitches all the time, they drop data packets, they send bursts of data packets, etc.
I bet this server in Spain provides a better connection for many european and asian countries.

Thank you very much Remus.

yesterday infdat server is much better then Spain server

Maybe my packs will standard on Spain server but i did not see anyone there to test that server.
Anyway i will double check that server.

Thanks for your everything.

Yes I went and opened a camp on that server and no one came after about 30mins waiting. So I couldn't test it.

[Sootie]

Nice one Remus. Playing on the spanish server is such an improvement that it feels like someone has taken a ball and chain off my leg and stopped messing with my vision.Good job. Let's hope lots of people use it.

It's better for the players from Europe and Asia, that's for sure.
I think it's also good for the players from USA and Canada.
I'm not sure about the players from South America.

In any case, I'll keep it under testing for 7-10 days.

[dragon_negro]

yo no lo e probado pero tengo una pregunta remus me resulta mejor jugar en infdat.com ó el servidor español ?
