1. Please explain a bit more what you mean by Renegade with Training wheels?
|
1000 starting credits, extra credits a second, faster harv with increased load
turrets everywhere, upgrades people can buy with commands, parachutes, all kinds of things that make people feel like benny hill music should be playing
it makes some people happy but not everyone
hit the nail on the head for me
Jamie is a guys name in Europe...

I have actually played in the st0rm servers quite a bit. Though I have not played Ren at all lately, I think I should still have a decent rank under one of my names.
A few complaints off the top of my head.
Lag. Is. Bad. Seriously.
With the lag sniping is impossible, at least for me... I am not claiming to be the best sniper in Ren history, but I like to think that I was decent at times. I can't hit a fucking barn side in st0rm servers... then everyone else is getting head shots left and right... So makes me think they might be cheating.
The mods were not professional at all... You guys used to have that filter and warning bullshit. Well I guess it did not apply to mods. They didn't have to follow the rules they enforced, and they would laugh about it.
Can't remember that mods name exactly, think it started with an "S".
Due to that situation, I ended up on the st0rm IRC where I met a delightful kunt by the name of Jade I believe.
Now I hate to throw that word out like that, but seriously... I hope she is not the one that still handles complaints. She had the reputation and loved it, everyone told me it was pointless to even go on the IRC because she is constantly menstruating.
Long before any of that I was banned once for cheating... that was some expert modding. The ban only lasted about 5 mins since I got on IRC and was lucky enough to talk to someone capable of actual communication.
I actually like the commands and all that extra shit in the server, it is a nice change... to me at least. But there are a lot of retards with high rank so they screw the games up sometimes.
I have also seen mods just go in a server and !endgame 100 times to rank up... I figure admins could just set their rank to 1,000,000 if that was allowed.
And last, but certainly not least... that fucking lag is bad.
Seriously renforums lose the fucking word filters...

Well, I hope to bring some of you back to atleast try my new AOW I am working on, I am changing a lot on the server and I will post a full list of changes but its going to be more like normal renegade with a few twists but still have a level playing field for casual players.

-Flaming APCS...I am not sure how you can justify having this absolutely horrible practice still in widespread use in the server. In a blink of an eye, it destroys the hard work of the team that's kicking some fine ass. It takes absolutely no skill to do this tactic. If I were a server owner and if my most regular top players were ragequitting over something, I would immediately try to fix it asap instead of letting it go on for years. If St0rm has terminal cancer related to gameplay, this is it right here.

The sad part is, the ones using Flaming APCS are the regular top players.

Wait, what? Flaming APC's? The hell is that?
also, a serious response: too many gameplay mods, moderators are usually dicks, and the gameplay flow just feels closer to something you'd expect activision would churn out.

Define Flaming APC: A flaming apc is a normal apc filled with remote/timed/proxy c4 with the intention of damage upon impact. E.g: To be used against soldiers/tanks.

Wilo,
First of all, my compliments for creating such a thread.
From a player's perspective; I haven't found St0rm's setup inviting to join. Then again, that's just my personal preference. I realize your players in fact do like your heavily modded servers, otherwise you wouldn't get any players in your servers at all. This is, however, not my cup of tea.
From an admin's perspective, I think you may be going a bit too harsh on your moderator staff. You're asking your moderators to join TeamSpeak when they play the server and possibly other things too (such as being active x hours per week, joining IRC? I vaguely remember something like that but I could very well be mistaken). I know that if I was personally in a moderator position, I wouldn't appreciate such things being forced upon me by the administrative staff. At Jelly, I personally aim to have our moderators pleased at all time, try to listen to their concerns and do something about it and wouldn't force things upon them unless absolutely neccesary (For example: Policies on how to handle certain situations). I would, however, never, ever force them to join TS when they are ingame. I think that they should only join it if they feel like it, but I wouldn't force our moderators to join other services, possibly against their will.
Moderators are the heart of a community, they handle the daily occurences ingame and if they are unhappy or dissatisfied, they'll turn inactive and/or do other stuff. I've been in a moderator position for many years and the thing that made me happy the most, is the assurance that whatever thing I do or whatever bothers me, I have the administative staff backing me up 99% of the time (The sole exception being a massive screwup), and knowing that my concerns or suggestions would be listened to. I know that our regulars criticize Jelly on the other hand for not doing enough with suggestions; but I always try to answer them. (Then again, this shouldn't be discussed in this thread, this thread restricts itsself to St0rm.)
That is basically what I think where St0rm could possibly improve itsself. The gameplay, there isn't much you can do about that. The way you handle your moderators; that may be up for improvement from my point of view.

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

That's because Jelly mods are on like 2 hours every month or so, except for 1-2 of em. Are you seriously criticizing him for requiring his mods to be mods now and then?
St0rm banned flaming APC yesterday and they've added some scripts to prevent it too. They're running 4.0 on their server and are really pushing it on their players, I'm really enjoying being able to play games without random players (e.g. that 'kim' guy in Jelly Marathon) blatantly using *cheat name removed*aimbot to headshot me while he's standing still whenever I'm playing on the server.

I had expected the comment to backfire. Rest assured that we are aware of the fact that the servers lack moderators who are actually ingame and I've already flagged this internally and we're trying to work it out the best we can. We've went across our moderators asking them if they recognized themselfs if they have turned inactive and if so, why. During the summer months they have noticed (and so have I personally) that they have been busy with, don't be surprised, the real life. Seriously, it happens. We've answered with some promotions and we have assigned more permatemps (paradox?!) to the servers to give some new potential moderators in our eyes 1. a chance to keep the servers clean of the daily stuff such as th, gta, and so on and 2. a chance to possibly put themselfs in our spotlights if they appear to be doing tremendously well as a moderator. We've asked some permatemps if they wanted to be moved up to a half moderator, but I know of at least one person who actively refused so and preferred to remain in his current position as a permatemp. If you have a different suggestion how we should tackle this issue, please do let me know. I, however, do not wish to create an environment for our moderators where they are forced to play x hours per week. The game should be joined for fun and/or to relax; not because you're forced to join or you risk losing your position.
We are internally discussing whether or not we should put on Scripts 4.0 on our server(s). We also have several plugins that require to be ported. Seeing as how I am currently messaging this from a dongle and don't have a solid internet connection, I can't make any changes myself such as altering the autoannounce file, MOTD, to direct players to TT - as I'd also like people to find it, know about it and help beta test it. This is also the reason I can't set up a test server and try to create a server with the same settings as our current setup.

I find it great that st0rm mods actually have to moderate at least once in a while or risk losing their moderator status. You make it sound if they'll lose their real life job or some shit.

I started this thread to find out what people had problems with, not to hear made up stories and lies. Am I not allowed to defend myself? Would you rather I lie like most people and deny everything? I came here in good faith to try to stop the hate toward myself and my community and all I am asking is for people to move on from the past. Most people have, but it seems the people here cant and never will. This may have just been a waste of time to come here and try to resolve this.
One thing I have learned from this is that most people do move on and are not stuck in the past, but I ask you this, when did you forsake yourself?
Regards,
Wilo.
