Pros/good players not playing often these days, because...
« on: March 22, 2007, 01:36:24 pm »
Tremulous atm is losing players fast in activity wise im sure the realease of Tremulous 1.2 will sort this out. But for now theirs more players not deciding to play as often as new players coming in. Their are very good/more intresting/more variabled games to choose from. Tremulous has 2 factors aleins or humans no story line and not many weapons and boy weres the grenade launcher every fps got to have one fo them they rock!
Im not dissing or flaming trem,(yeah ive played trem for a long time now but after your a certain level its not that intresting) just updating on how i and other people i have talked to feel like so trem 1.2 bring something cool into it !! btw look into the other fps games e/g FEAR, warock and get some ideas :)

Bye Bye ow my ass hurtz.

Before I get started, I'd just like to say:


Protip: Tremulous has been in development for going on seven years now. There have been players and members of the community that have been around nearly that long. You, like a large majority of the current community (myself included) have been around for less than a year, and only joined up when Tremulous went to standalone. You haven't been playing Tremulous "for a long time". Now that we have that established, let's look at your other points:

1.) Tremulous has no storyline.
2.) Tremulous only has two opposing sides.
3.) Tremulous doesn't have enough weapons/isn't varied enough.

Tremulous has as much storyline as a solely online multiplayer game comprised mostly of custom made maps that were not created by the developers of the game. Humans go too far into space, run into aliens, aliens start infesting, mercenaries are brought in to fight against them. Really, you can't ask for much more than that in a freeware multiplayer FPS. Also, what's wrong with only having two sides? It seems to work well for a few other games in recent history that you might have heard of: Counter Strike, Enemy Territory, Gears of War, Battlefield series? I mean, I could go on, if you wanted me to. As far as variation goes, how much more could you possibly want? You've got two mostly balanced, completely different teams -- both of which have multiple choices as far as what to use against the enemy (though admittedly less for the alien team). Honestly, you expect Tremulous to play like every single FPS out there? I mean, people have been playing Counter Strike, Quake 3, Enemy Territory, and other FPS games for years when there has been little-to-no significant changes to those games within that time. I'm sorry Tremulous doesn't play exactly like FEAR, Warrock, Halo, Counter Strike, Enemy Territory, or any other standard, run and gun, make things go boom FPS.

Actually, wait. No, I most certainly am not. I like my Tremulous the way it is: a nice mixture of shooting, tactics, and base management. I like, and appreciate, the subtle differences between alien classes and human weapons. I like that the community -- that is, the actual members of the community and not the people that play Tremulous like idiots and only chime in with ideas like "OMG ROCKET LAUNCHER FLYING ALIEN HUMANS NEED MORE POWER" -- has a decent amount of input on the game. I even like the way I can play on tjw's server to see the changes that will be made to Trem, and appreciate that these changes have been well thought out and tested, and that they work.

The only thing I am sorry about is that you happen to have such a short attention span that you lose interest in what could very well be the greatest freeware shooter in existence, which has endless replayability and new maps made constantly, in under a year.

tl;dr:
Sorry you have ADHD. Gtfo.
Stop it. Seriously.

I agree with the guy with the hurt brain.
Tremulous is suppose to be different than ur standard only shoot or capture the flag multiplayer game.  Also it is very difficult to get a good story line into an online multiplayer game.  If they made a story line it would be a normal game.  If you want to play normal games go to the store and buy one.  If not stfu and enjoy tremulous as it is.  I think its deeper and more entertaining than grab a rocket launcher games.  Sorry for you having to bear a game where you have to think.  Tremulous has such a rts influence on it it is so awsome.  So go away and don't dis trem.

Everyone uses interweb speech. Dhruv just takes it to the next level sometimes. But i never really had problems with his typos before. He just leaves punctuation out too often.

1 sentence paragraphs FTW!

I agree with captain picard, you cant put too much stress on your impulse engines without engaging the warp drive after an encounter with the borg.
Clan {Jo|So} were clan {No|Shows} at todays war between them..

The Magma Warriors are pissed off you wasted our time, and I have decided I will DOS attack your server, I have a program for that. Unless you want to get your asses on, and do a 3 on 3 or 4 on 4.

That's totally irrelevant. I know that many of the older players stopped playing (at least as much) way before unlagged.
Also, if you can't play with unlagged and you say it's unlagged that prevents your "skill" from working, it's not skill you had.

Haha, i have no skill, rofl.

I have enought skill to can see that unlagged prevent any humans "evades" from working versus noob aliens. The same noob alien who will NEVER hit me without unlagged cose my evades are faster than his aim skill, could chomp me any time with unlagged ... And the best : on my screen i see my evades working, the goon is looking in other direction from me and .... Chomped oO

All good players that i know are all agree with that.

The worst is when "unlagged-addicteds" try to play on a none unlagged server they cant kill a fracking thing. Unlagged nubbed them !

"Network simulation" when all people have around 50 - 60 of latency is a pure joke.

Really, dont speak to me about skill, it make me laught.

No it is not irrelevant, I play less because unlagged messes with my aim and makes me unable to dodge anything. This is because I can only dodge something that I see coming. With unlagged by the time I something coming, it has already hit me, or no, it is already going to hit me...

Unlagged doesn't do that.
Well it does, but not like you make it sound.
Where the lucy ball is doesn't change, just with unlagged you see it in the right place.  So if you are dead before you see them fire, then that would always have happened, just now sometimes you know where that ball is so can dodge it.
