Speaknow Changes

[Phenom]

I enjoy roots, I would hope that if speaknow is being run correctly perhaps we can consolidate a main ca server, main ctf server, etc. So X is where you go for one mod, Y for another, etc.

What do you think phen?

Also maybe it might benefit us to have one ca+ server, although I don't know who's gonna host it. That mdeutrex guy, if anyone can convince him.

I'm goin to be serious, I haven't seriously played CTF for 8 years. I think I fell into a CAX rut

I wonder how well a CTF server would do if it was based in Chicago, were there any other CTF servers in Chicago in the past?

I'b be willing to consider opening up a Chi CTF server

[Phenom]

I just called up Fatpipes (they're some awesome guys).

I MIGHT have another Chi server up by tonight

Yes the only chi CTF server did very well and had daily playing. It was yayowave that frenzy ran. If you need to think of a new hostname try just like 3wave.quakeone.com, chictf.quakeone.com, etc.

Phenom and I are cool now, I didn't read any hostility or sarcasm into his post.

I really wish someone would get another Texas server going, rather than all these chicago servers. A chi pub ctf server would be great if people good agree on settings.

Ping/packet loss issues when ava's scrabble word finder site took off in traffic (and cpu usage) combined with speaknow's better ping and ticrate were what actually caused Rage's decline last winter.

Those issues are resolved now..the scrabble site moved and rage uses same ticrate as speaknow. Rage is actually is pretty interested now with 30 rockets instead of 50 and grenades using 2x rockets (still normal damage). You have to think twice before you toss a few nades. I think this is a lot more logical option that ca+'s nerf rockets, as that makes it hard to switch between ca+ and standard mods like CAx/DM/ctf. Also most players estimate how much health their opponent has left based on how much rocket damage they guess they did...anyway I think weapons should function consistently.

Whether it's rage or another texas server it would be nice if someone put some energy into that, as a lot of players have stopped playing often because they don't ping well to chicago.

Aerowalk won't work, we tried it on roots and it made a ton of people quit when the server was full.

Could you maybe make a "smart map change option" like runequake has, where it detects the # of people and changes the map accordingly?

Example: 6 people, perfect for dm3. 4 people, perfect for aerowalk. 8 people, perfect for q1edge or q3dm16. 10 people, perfect for q1edge or q3dm16. 6 people, perfect for sanity or ultrav.

just a suggestion. ask slot or whoever coded RQ if its possible, it would take all of the guesswork / rotation out of it.



Reposted for emphasis. Can't you guys do this?

[Dreadful]

I dont see why not. But, thats up to rook to do. And I see him looking at this thread so, we'll see =]

P.S. I took you off of ignore cause I can read your post when not logged in. =\
Cant we just be fwiends

// As said by baker, its best if EVERYBODY gets along.

I would think with the amount of CAx servers that many would have different settings, especially with pldown and map rotation. Go to zzz server for dm3, yyy for map rotation, xxx for dm3 on east coast, etc etc.

"Dm3 is set to pldown 3"

Lame. Whos idea was that? I remember seeing quite a few people the other day voice their dislike for that. Why not have a vote instead to see what the "quake community" and not the 1-2 admins, want as players set for dm3. Im all for the majority rules even if im in the minority.

lol stfu dude. you're bitching because you cant run and spam nades now. that's a FACT. 3v3 forces you into skillful, courteous confrontation with the rest of the players in the game. in ca, dm3 is 3s, anything else is ridiculous and really not fun.

and if you think everyone agrees with you, just start a vote. but no one wants pldown 4.

Omi your such a tard. You made your own poll about this exact topic.

Maybe you should read your own posts before posting and looking like an idiot.

"if you think everyone agrees with you, just start a vote. but no one wants pldown 4"

Really no one? looks like 5 people want it. 5 for and 5 against.


and if you think all i do is run and spam i will gladly play you 1 on 1 to prove that i dont. I probably wont win but it wont be 5-0 either.

yeah. it will. the only thing you are capable of doing is running and or spamming nades, which is why this bothers you so much. you might actually have to play CA the way it was meant to be played.
