Hopeless 2 (v2.37 - v2.39)

[supreme]

After 2.5 years you lost the MODS from the game interface.
In fact I always wanted to remove that big piece of interface.

screen is more cool now :)

Do you get 50/50 all the time?

its showing 37 now (don't got to send the picture here)

Aldinho,

Something goes VERY wrong with your computer.
First of all check out the processor temperature:
http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Secondly, turn off the computer, open the case and clean the dust.
Be sure the processor fan & cooler and the case fan are very clean.
Also double check if all the processor cores are full operational.
If your OS is not messed up, maybe your processor is throttled.

well, I guess I could fix some things here.
I changed the power supply and did an internal cleaning, hehehe
already did some tests, (and I've died a lot,, ihihihi,,, there are still many ratones damned and immortal)

[Remus]

Another round of corrections:

1) the Pro Ammo Pack is available for all the players with registered team.
2) all the players need 5 chickens per Deadly Strike.
3) changed policy for the Extra list:
http://www.infdat.com/hopeless2/HMCinfos.php?op=extra" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
- the players marked with "elite" need 3 chickens per DS.
They are players with good attitude, forum contributors, nice folks with decent connection quality.
- the players marked with "bonus" have double power for out and mute
They also get +10% Accuracy.
Only the players with good internet connection can get the "bonus" label.

The managers of the Extra list are Timberwolf and Scrappitt.

[ZeronMan]

Thank you!!!

I'm sure we have more that 56 players, of this type.
Or do we not

But anyway, good job

[DeadlySpawn]

I am not in elite list anymore?

[Remus]

I am not in elite list anymore?

Many players (with good connection) are missing.
The starting list (made by Timberwolf) is not complete.

[uk-army]

Remus i have an amazing connection and my fps is always 40-48 and sometimes 50 so why dont i have the bonus please reply

[Timberwolf]

Be patient!

I understand manga. He doesn't know English.

What's your guys' excuse?

ukarmy isn't getting into the list on principle!

Thank you
Remus, Did you set the winchester gun to "2 key" to default
Normally default 2 key gun is shotgun if we get the winchester gun then it is moving to defualt gun.

Did you drink something today?
It was on "2" from beginning.
And for each key, the best weapon in that "group" is the default one.

- because the camps are full of skeletons (they are hard to be traced)
- because some characters are smaller than others
- because I'm preparing a "bonus" for all those with very bad connection
A new concept: stats per character
See the characters selector.
They probably need more tuning, but I think it's a good starting point.

[Scrappitt]

I like this

It helps us people who can't see a skeleton when its further than 10 steps away

v2.39

Double damage, double accuracy, but 50% ammo in all the multiplayer modes (except Boosted).
It will provide better gameplay because:
- it's an advantage for the smart players (who finds the target first has better chances).
- it's an advantage for the good shooters (better accuracy).
- it's a disadvantage for the bad connections (they die faster).
- less ammo means more interesting gameplay and more weapons involved.

note: the current "Boosted" is the previous "Free For All" (same damage, accuracy and ammo).

Hi Bro, I too have played this game and like it but it is hard for me to find others that will play and give it a try. I guess older players like you and I are more adventurous? Our lives are full with adventure! LOL

Reading what you wrote my friend Johnny I am suposing that you didn't get the change, maybe I am wrong. Remus switched Boosted and FFA, so now when we click Free For All we play Boosted and vice-versa.
It's good this Boosted mode, at least until now I'm liking it. Anyway its a good opportunity to try it.

free for all part of the affected part of boosted..

[zesuga]

IS V2.39 good?
I always killed enemies with shotgun in one shot.
and of course juan57 always did that to me also.
Is that normal? It never happened before.
Now i heard lots of shotgun bangs in the game.
What did u do to the shotgun? Moron. NO. i mean Boss.
Shotgun will rule the world?

My dear dumb (I mean "my dear veteran"),

Did you ever try in the real life a shogun headshot?

[Remus]

zesuga, this smart stock trader from Taiwan, was right.
In the "double damage era", boosted with mods, I found the pistol and both shotguns with huge damage.
Over 100!
Now they're still excellent weapons, but their damage is a "decent" one.

[Timberwolf]

Holy $&#*!

0% face to face.

FULL health and armor = 2 shotguns

[Remus]

0% face to face.

FULL health and armor = 2 shotguns

"face to face" is a dumb approach.
Just think about this view in the real life: two soldiers with machine guns face to face.
Two morons!
They are both dead.

It's time for strategy: who finds the target first has better chances.
And this is the way it should be.


p.s.
I had enough time to watch many camps.
The bad connections die faster.
And this is GREAT.

I have less time than the boss on the ground
What I see is you shoot a guy, and no change nothing in his health, and then he turns around and hits you and kills you, this is what I see on the ground.

Aldinho, my friend,

What are you trying to tell us?
That with less damage and less accuracy you kill a bad connection faster???
That's 100% false.

But if you want more ammo for XM-29 because you don't use other weapons,
we can talk about that.

[Remus]

More opinions, better results.

I use all weapons, but what's the point?
The other day I found myself a sniper ratone,
I spent all my bullets and nothing has changed (in health),
and what happened next is I was hit by a noobkiller with a single shot from behind.
the ratone!?, simply disappeared from the field (I drove out through bullets, ihihih)
particularly, I prefer a hail of bullets than a single shot
(and there are many ratones holed noobkillers shooting at you behind your back).
I want my bonus back if not, just stay on the ground dying
in the hands of the immortals / cheats / morons / by_cheaters of the life.

"I use all weapons, but what's the point?".
The point is that you have 14 weapons and most of the players want to use only the best 2.
That must stop.

"The other day I found myself a sniper ratone".
You found yourself an intelligent player and not a face-to-face noob.

You had: 2 x damage, 2 x accuracy, 0.5 ammo
Now you have: 1.5 x damage, 1 x accuracy, 0.75 ammo.

[DeadlySpawn]

Instead you can you base some of the Stats per Character depending on frags or so. But at the same time you can base 10-25% off of the character model. Lets say you are a skeleton, 5000 frags, you would have 90 life, 10 armor, and 110 accuracy. Something like that.

Hmm, a lot of new features and proposals, it's hard to find the right game plan! I think we need to stop changing game options this fast, also new keyboard letters with new assigned features, I can only say a mess.....
Please Remus do not think that I do not appreciate your efforts to improve the game, I really do but it's geting to complicated
I can propose one plan and I can only hope that this will make this game easier to play and everybody will be happy (he he only hoping I know this is utopia). I was thinking about implementing plan A, B, C or D.... What I mean is that every player will be able to choose the game plan that suites him the best before entering particular camp (like choosing outfit and character). Plan A lets say better damage (2 damage, 1 accuracy, 0.5 amm0), plan B better accuracy (0.5 damage, 2 accuracy, 1 ammo), plan C ammo mode ( 1 damage, 0.5 accuracy, 2 ammo) plan D pro mode (2 damage, 2 acuracy, 0.25 ammo). Afcourse this is only proposal and it's subject to changes (I am starting to sound like buisness manager ) but I think everybody can get the big picture now. I hope my thoughts will help to get this game little simplier than it is now.

P.S. Please can you help me to contact swordxyz! I can't get to him. I send him PM regarding tournament but no answer. I didn't see him in camp lately?! I allready post this question on 1 on 1 tournament topic but no help!
