AssaultCube 1.0.4 has DIED

[Huntsman]

Ok, I have watched these sought of threads for weeks/months, and all I can see is flaming against other people and nothing being freaking done.

In a lame way

I feel any attempt to stop the prevalence of cheaters in AC is good. If you don't like it may I suggest you go code your own anti-cheat and submit it to the devs.

Agreed, I'd like to see anyone of you code and anti-cheat system.

In a lame way

Please explain what "In a lame way" means too you?

There's far more depth to this than you imagine.

Then call a Spade, a Spade and don't say "The shotgun is overpowered, the game sucks, I want 1.x back". I'm not saying you're saying that, it's just what I see on the forums here. That kind of commentary implies that the slightest change to the game in inherently bad, and that there is no room for improvement. I understand the "don't mess with a good thing" mentality but I don't see that AC has been rendered utterly unplayable by these recent changes as some people would have us believe.

However, I do concede that I haven't read every single thread on this forum (I've only just started taking an interest in the AC forums), and I haven't been privy to the seemingly titanic struggle between the developers and the community. I don't know the background or history, and I can only comment on what I see, but what I see is pretty sad.

Who are you? I have never seen you in-game.

Yes what I see too is pretty sad, all this flaming about 1.1 being "shit" and "AR is too overpowered".

Yes, the AR is overpowered and should be fixed, 1.1 is indeed not 'shit' but just takes practice to get use to.

I, lately have been playing 1.1 in single player trying it, and mucking around, it is much easier when you get use to it, but feels nothing like 1.0.4.

I don't play online because for some reason when I play, I lag like hell, when my internet is fine.

I do not understand all the fuss about this. The only detraction because of this is that you don't get your lists updated by the masterserver. And even that can be remedied so easily...

On the other hand, there really are no restrictions to what you can do in 1.04. You want to mess around with all the maps that have been called "crap"? Go right ahead. No one will be there if you don't want them to and no one can do a damn thing about it.

This really should be looked at as a benefit for players who still want to play 1.0. It's a loophole around the current map restrictions which many of you have complained so much about.

The map restrictions are in my opinion good and bad at the same time.

When I first came to Assault Cube, all I did was play Gema's and Twin Towers and other maps like those. Yes they were fun, but when I joined |FmC| they showed me the ladders Like HI-SKILL and TyD ladders. So I started playing on those servers, on proper official maps with good players on them. It was truly fun. Later on I went into iOD| and got obsessed with HI-SKILL, nothing personnel against TyD, but HI-SKILL had better servers ping-wise for me. But I still occasionally go back to twin tower maps and gema's for the fun it created.

But when I was playing these maps, all the players were rude, obnoxious and plain stupid. They were all in-mature and dicks quite frankly, and that is why I think there should be a map restriction. It might not stop little in-mature dicks running around on proper servers with proper maps, but it stops them making ''stupid" maps like ASIAN_PORN etc.

Aye.
If you want to play AssaultCube, then play it.
If you don't, then what's keeping you here??

Again, absolutely right.

They had to *go and remove entries from the list*...

It's a static file, for fuck's sake. All of this is well beyond retarded, in my opinion. Now I can't simply go and play some publics in a game that I love. What was I (or 1.0 players) doing to you? Nothing! We're in peace, we're not going and screaming in your face "go play that shitty game of yours".

Anyone with a brain knows that keeping up a static .txt file for hosting doesn't require any maintenance, doesn't cost to run. But no... interfere.

Well, thank you for slowly killing AC since 2009!

I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but there's not much I can really do against idiotic regimes.

Wait, why am I even writing here? I'll probably get warning points from Brahma along the lines of "douche". He can call you a douche through the forum but you can't. Oh no.... -.-

Probably the most correct I have seen in this thread, nothing personnel against any DEV, but Drakas. is right.
