General / The problem, Part II

« on: April 24, 2005, 09:10:19 AM »

Maybe we need a mod that removes the MC-to-building-hive 'feature'
I nominate notme to code it


I can't imagine LM w/o FF... I agree w/ Mr Bill, let's do a trial period of ff off and release gamestats so we can see how it balances the game out

General / Serious issue affecting LM gaming qualitiy.

« on: March 29, 2005, 12:47:05 PM »

I'm guilty of this. Normally when I leave the server, it's after a game is done, but sometimes I just get bored of ns and decide to quit in the middle of a game. Normally this happens when I'm aliens (if this is the case, i'll normally drop a chamber or an rt or something if i have the res)
If i'm marines, i'll drop my non-lmg gun and do an insane run on a hive

I have an idea for a mod that would sort of lessen this problem.

Howabout when a marine leaves, the server autodrops their weapons and armor by the nearest infantry portal
Or when an alien leaves it distributes their res amongst the remaining players... wait.. on second thought, that'd be really exploitable...

On third thought both of these could be exploited easily... you're about to die in a heavy with an hmg so you hit your quit button...
nevermind.

I had a friend that used to com like he was was a flight attendant giving the safety speech.
Everyone listened to him.

Of course this was back in version 2, so we didn't have to worry about combat kiddies ramboing it up.

the key is good communication, and a stratgy of such

And mines.

And crazy relocates! Like... relocating into the water under feedwater in bast.
I mean, it's probably not gonna work, but if it does...

And who needs IPs? Just bacon every minute or so


Damn I need to stop listening to MrBill

The single most important tool of comming is a microphone.

No mic com = game over most of the time.

Just get in the com chair and make sure everyone knows you're a noob com. We'll help you out

I suck at comming too so i know how you feel.

General / New Comming strategies?

Marines still have teeth

No no no... aliens have teeth. Marines have guns.

But yeah, it's harder to play as marines now, but i don't think it's balanced toward aliens. Just gotta be smarter, faster, better than before.
The TSA has invested 6 million dollars per marine to upgrade your systems, men. Don't let them down!

I mean... real life... yes... real life

Nevermind... i figured out what to do last night- friend ran a D&D game.

Haven't even played but 5 minutes of 3.0 final. I'll wait for everybody to calm down before I get too hardcore into it

I didn't get a chance to join LM till late night around 11:30 PM. The server was busy and jam packed all day.

Dammit lemme get home from work first... 40 minutes.

AzubahF: Yeah it's great. Aliens have needed this for a long time.

It's a shame that there were problems with the new hitbox code... I was really looking forward to that.
Hear it's gonna be in 3.1 though

My favorite changes are 1)Sieges not dealing damage to players (especially with FF on) and 2)Turrets and OCs prioritizing players over buildings.
Those two things just got annoying.
