Turns out everyone's still fucking shit. How do you guys not get better I haven't touched an fps in like 2 years except fagging around this game once or twice for a couple weeks. Sad. Anyways here's what I think needs work before steam release. Armored LT vs Armored AFV is way too long Buff std cannon? Dunno -Nuke heat is still annoying + gay Weapon is kinda retarded tbh it just promotes mass spam in large player games. It is almost as if the weapon was designed to make the game fucking miserable. "Ok yeah lets give it massive AOE so no one can play infantry and then for tank fights we'll make it do less DPS than standard cannon but overheat everyone!!" "HAHA GREAT IDEA THEY WON"T BE ABLE TO HAVE INFANTRY FIGHTS AND TANK BATTLES WILL BE REDUCE TO A 0 SKILL CLUSTERFUCK" -Auto targets are annoying and confusing and reduce skill just as much as comm targets Readd squad targets and readd commander single targets. Get rid of this free camera shit around buildings. Give scout this ability(heartbeatsensor) and remove ranged rifle (or replace with shotgun models permitting). How fucking boring is comm now with out targets? Single targets add something to micro. -Hide Why the fuck is this in the game? Retarded. Doesn't fit with the game at all and is poorly balanced. Noobs won't understand and for good reason because its fucking retarded. -servers don't run sv_pure Really? Well I didn't actually check but from my chats with trickster it sounds like none of you use it. At least force the players and weapons. You release on steam and you are going to have a fuckload of scriptkiddies that use XXXXXX on everything and releasing "maphacks." It would take under 5 minutes to make a working maphack. I am seriously tempted to make and release one just so you retards are forced to put it on. I guarantee there are people using it now. -RPG sniping doing no damage Makes no fucking sense. Either have it spiral out of control and crash after xxx distance when unguided or make sure you include something in the tutorial and quick start guide about it making no sense what so ever. -Tutorial and quick start guide IMO map isn't as important as a graphical quick start guide. Beerdudes should be expanded to have a 3-4 page general intro 1 page for each class then another couple on general tactics. This shit needs posted fucking everywhere and available through the menu (not that small ass help on motd) ingame. Preferably it should pop its ass up when you start the game for the first time and force you to scroll through and press accept like a fucking user agreement.
Point 5 is the most important. I'm sure the majority of players are using modded textures etc. It's pretty much the biggest thing ruining the game right now. Since you either do it yourself, or take a huge handicap. Also why this game shouldn't be thought of as competitive Point 1 another good point, but idk. Std cannon could probably use a little buff. Atm if your driving a tank as a gren you might as well get out and use mortar/rpg instead lol. Point 2 is another good one. Pretty lol that nukes do such little damage the way they are, but buffing them will probably have large consequences for balance so not sure what to do with them. Edit: Game would of been funner if you played it 14-5hrs ago, when there are a lot of people on who know how to play.
i think sv_pure should be forced as well, but i don't use any custom content so i may be a bit biased
Been calling for sv_pure for years. Trickster whines about it for public servers. And Slade, don't get me started on Slade on his opinion on sv_pure...
emp recruits demands are more then reasonable, in fact i think i charted at least half of these as well ether privately to the devs or on the suggestion chart
Alotta of random noobs seem to already automaticly use 'mats' (material mods) its a damn shame that SV_pure isnt a cure all for these sorts of things though.... or atleast i hear.
The roomer is that is doesnt block shit. sooo... we are...SCREWED. ACTIVATE HONOR SYSTEM... HONOR SYSTEM HAS FAILED TO INITIALIZE... SWITCHING TO PLAN B FREE HACKS FOR ALL YAYZ
As far as I'm updated, sv_pure 2 is only available with steamworks and should be no problem once empires is on steam.
I was wondering what you were talking about because hide wasn't changed since ages except me doing some small experiments... Seems like I fucked up and accidentally committed them! I wanted it to use up stamina, I think I got it working before, let me commit that
sv_pure 0 does nothing. sv_pure 1 will block make any files NOT listed in the whitelist referenced from the files in the empires.gcf sv_pure 2 doesn't have a whitelist. Ergo, sv_pure is 99% impossible (without seriously hammering server boot times and stuff) at the moment, but the moment steam comes out, it'll be as simple as putting a setting on. At the moment, Empires doesn't use .gcfs. Personally, I won't enforce sv_pure on a public server. I could really care less if people are hacking there, because it's not going to get them anywhere. But in scrims, without a doubt, sv_pure 2 will be on, and there's no way whatsoever of getting around that. Ignore Delete, he has downs. It can't be done without doing shit that either VAC or KAC would catch. I run pure stock now, not even a custom GUI. So I don't really mind scrims using sv_pure, and considering I know how many fags hack, I honestly think it'll improve the results in scrims so much. But like I said, enforcing that in a public server is a little bit homo.
Just enforce sv_pure on weapon folders+ infantry folders. Its not that hard and shouldn't require that much more installed. If people want to mathack tanks w/e its not that much of advantage except on escort.
w/e pretty much no damage same shit I actually have no idea i never tested because rpg is for fgt noobs who can't mortar properly but thats what trickster says.
I'll talk to you on weekend or later this week. I'm doing grad school apps still and work is stupid busy. My bosses just finished fighting over who I have to work for this morning so now I have to actually get to work.
I came back to play a few rounds just recently and this is so true, it boggles the mind. Nukes do still suck big times. Why not a slow speed, very hard hitting missile. Could do a lot with resists too, making it a fortress breaker or give it some kind of role besides grinding everything to a halt. Hide using stamina :x ... Oh shit, already getting into this again, must... stop... posting...
