Gideon's suggestions for an even better server

you can talk with voice, not text.

dead talk was always on. what's wrong with it? wcs is probably the most social server of the 4 (now 5) anyway

Really, i assumed zm was do to half the fun being dicking around. Ahh the memories.

Well now that much of the team balance issues have been attended to I've been seeing a lot of really even scored games. It's great. Everyone feels like they are contributing to a possible team win at the end of a map.

However, there still exists the times when several good players end up on the same team. I know that there are team-balancers out there; I just wish it wouldn't ruin the fun and challenge of being on a single team and feeling a kinship with that team. Most of the team-balancers are really finicky and some poor jerk is thrown from team to team to team again. But I guess I would be okay with that if it made sense. I mean, if I was 19-3, then change me over! Let me help... er rather, Make me help because I'm too damned selfish to ever want to even the teams myself. It's about XP you know, so winning is everything, and team play is nothing.

But really, if there does exist a decent team-balancer; please implement it. I think that would pretty much finalize a huge leap in server balancing and once that's done I believe that your server will be statistically more popular than a month ago. All of these changes are building up and I see more people more often. Today, I saw an 18player high; that should be standard fare, not bragging rights. We'll get there. And the best way forward is game balance and team balance. Look at your numbers next week. I think you're going to be delighted that people are playing in bigger games and not leaving because of terribly unfair games. After some time, just look at the real numbers. It will surprise you. People like competition. Overwhelming power is overwhelmingly boring. Close games are the key. Just make things interesting and people will always love it here. It doesn't need to have a race that's unbeatable or has nuclear bombs for weapons. Just a different idea about movement or combat is all it takes; but occasionally we find we've gone past the reasonable and into the extreme. That's when we need to cut corners and make the game fun again. The players are thanking you and will continue to do so. It's a different game now, but it's far more fun now than ever before!

As if right now, when you are dead you can not use voice chat to talk to people who are alive. I think text works the same way except for admin talk


Also gideon, WCS by its nature balences itself. The other team rapes you? change race to something that rapes the races that they play and move on with your life. True stupidity and stubborness to get OFF the damn race you playing makes this difficult, however, They can be happy with there .5 K/D while I go on and actually try.

Quit fucking whining for fuck sakes. IF this server is that damn bad go somewhere else.

All those races that are out that you claim are OP (THEY WERNT in the god damn first place) will be doubly countered by those races that are not out yet.

I cant beleave we had to nerf Vaga due to your bitching. The race is hard enough to play as in the first place as they are so god damn easy to kill.
all he has is a scout, the most useless gun in the game IMO. sure he is invisible, but do you know how to counter that? flash light, blood, there diffusal kit/bomb, your ultimate, your radar, and para if you so choose to.

who is this everyone? or are you pulling these statistics out your ass

They're coming directly out of his asshole.

I do not look forward to him subscribing as an admin. It seems as if he will be switching players back and forth anytime the team win count isn't dead even.

[Masskid]

sweet how much would it cost me for some of those statistics for my next meeting
