Its RANTING TIME!
« on: March 15, 2007, 01:16:59 am »
Ever notice how human players tend to run backwords while fighting, towards the turrets? Eventually all the humans are trapped in the base, and that means all the aliens are waiting outside. Then the aliens start whining about campers, and the humans whine about feeders to anyone who does go it.

What are you supposed to do? Aliens don't want to get turreted, and humans don't want to be double-pounced or mauled. Yet those idiots keep whining! And why do people keep running in front of me when I'm chaingunning!? Its not that hard to see the yellow line of fire and the bullets! I have no idea how many tyrants have gotten away because some noob decided he needed ammo so badly he had to talk in front of me. Don't even get me started on those psaw bsuits who run up to the tyrant i'm blasting. Or the people holding nice guns like flamethrowers, who don't seem to help at all! I'm not dissing flamethrowers, i'm saying that 2 bsuits against 2 tyrants SHOULD be winnable since I've been able to 1v1 plenty of rants. In fact, since one tyrant was already running away when I found it, it should've been winnable. But noooo, those idiots CANT AIM A *%#(ING FLAMETHROWER!! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Okay then. I'm sorry i've wasted your time with my silly whining. But I had to get that out, and it was either post or hit small animals with baseball bats full of nails.  Feel free to post your own rants or something.
(It just occured to me that rant can mean the sort of long, angry speech i just posted, or an abbreviation of tyrant. Therefore, I added TY's where I meant tyrant! Before I even posted! Go me!)

Better yet the hummies then say the aliens are 'camping' outside their base.

But they are, both teams are camping, how stupid that may sound... whatever else can they do? The camping stops when one of the teams decide to move. Either the aliens run in and get killed or the humans move out and get killed.

to stop this kind of bullshite, don't play atcs, or get insanely unfairly difference in skill from one team to another.

But I like ATCS... and how exactly do I keep noobs off my team? Also, that match I had highest human kills. I had around 30, highest alien had something like 50. I was so proud. It was also the first game I found out how to check kills ingame!

Stupid thing with ATCS is that the map is only a big circle..
It gets very easily stuck, cause it is very easy to block off one team, and it is very easy to defend the human starting base so basically nothing gets in.

This is why ATCS sucks, sure, for 3v3 games its ok but nothing more IMO.
If you want a <3 map, play arachnid.
Even if the humans are relentlessly camping, there aer no really lame spots for the hummie base.
And the map isnt too huge, so eggspam is not a big problem unless the humes suck.

For now you will just have to hold the fort and dont go mental on all the whiners..

I would really like the human to be less campy though, give them more than one medkit in addition to more ammo and stamina, then make their base less effective but also less important. I dont think the change in this direction needs to be huge for humans to learn that they are more sucsessful outside of the base. And possibly nerf/change the aliens that 1hitkill the humans too fast.

I think this is getting changed in the new version, if only just slightly.. humans are getting some possibility for extended ammo for physical bullet type weapons and 'rants range is getting nerfed, plus the goon is set to s2, if i heard tremradio right.

I mean, the balance issue is not that bad, its how the gameplay is kind of fucked up that sucks.

Yes yes, the game is fun, the fights are fun, but camping is just far too good for a human.

I was there, not many people, if any, were being noobs and yelling "CAMPERS" when they themselves were camping. Thank god for that. I think you had 28 or 32 kills that game. You left early, sudden death started and the hummies started a campfest, aliens were attacking so you couldnt really blame them. Extreme sudden death started and hummies got owned, kinda funny. Sheesh, I gotta stop going to S11. Highest on aliens was around 58 when you left (methinks) and it was around 65 when the game ended. I went up to around 30 when sudden death started. ATCS gets really boring after you play it for the 50'th time, ATCSZa1 plays so much better, more variety.

Ewww..I hate arachnid! I think that the biokit thingy from tremX that reegens health and stamina would be a good addition to Tremulous. I heard that an ammopack is going to be introdused in a suggestions thread. I hope the goon isnt bumped to S2. It'd make sense since the advanced goon isn't available till S3. Goons at S1 are the only thing keeping aliens alive.

As there are many, many bad things around in tremulous, the very worst, those who make you blood boil, those who strengthen you enemies, those who foil your base building, those who are far worse than deconners, far worse than bad admins, far worse than even ME...

The Noobs.
The N00bs!
The horrible, HORRIBLE, TERRIFYINGLY STUPID, TORTUROUS N00BS!

They are everywhere.
They are coming.

Generally, people prefer to complain than to try finding ways round problems.
