Yeeeey - anyone plays this game?

me, but only at the evening, since it is the only active time in EU

:)

It is really sad, that the game just not has the lasting player-base to be relevant. With every major release there is an influx of players and most of the reactions to the game by newcomers or people trying it out again are positive. Still the game somehow manages to loose all its new found players after a couple of weeks and is back to the old hardcore community of 60-100 players.

A free game that cannot hold players is not a good game and shows it has been tried by many, if not millions, but is disliked. by people

You play your role perfectly.

When internetz started to be a thing here I was restricted to 30 mins offline per day. Playing RollerCoaster Tycoon making sick rides or maybe even rocking some NES games.
It wasn't easy to be me Kappa

that will be less of a problem when the games added to steam

coming in 2020 D:

Oh megaboy, it's you again! Silly little fella, the only one constantly talking shit about this game is you. Everyone else I have come across in the past years who was trying out Warsow had mostly positive things to say about it (some valid criticism in there as well but nothing close to your deluded hatred-fueled virtual vomit). When will you finally get over the fact that the devs told you to go fuck yourself the one time you tried to turn this game into yet another Q3 clone?

Did you read the past thread about warsow on esr? It was trashed here without me even writing.

Also if it's reception is so positive it must be played by many....right?

21 players globally, 23 bots. Lol

Link? I never did that, ever. If you provide no link then it's obvious you're talking out of your ass, which you are. Furthermore warsow clearly is a quake clone, not only in gameplay (it's painfully obvious to everyone) but also copying q3 cpm elements, with a q2 engine and its devs have a q2 background,

megaman3 seems to be on a crusade against warsow :D

yea he loves beating dead horses. the game is free, developers want feedback, its not popular but theyre trying, give them a break will ya?

ql so alive

quake is live

New ppl clash with quakers with 10+ years of experience, get smashed and GG.

That's kind of true though...

that is why u need a ladder and proper matchmaking... it's not possible to do it with such player base ofc.
a proper player base is not affordable with alpha-like, early 2000s looking game (not talking about how the in-game graphics look, just the product as a whole game) seeing from 2014 perspective.

it lacks basic features, you simply can't get a player base with a product looking like a prototype now. server browser + gameplay just isn't enough

it's not addicting and i don't see why would anyone play it for more than a week;

basically: " wtf no exp? why can't i buy skins and only one character? LOOOOL . "

you have to atract ppl to the game to make them stay for longer, like if you do this you get the achievement if u get 50 frags u get some icon if you win 10 in a row u get promoted and such shit.
am i wrong here? doesn't it feel like outdated to you? personally i'd not give a fuck about this game being a 15 teenager having so many other choices

although i still think gameplay of this game feels better than any quake.

EDIT: actually what i wrote feels a bit harsh but it's an honest perspective.

I think that the main reason why Warsow doesn't have a steady playerbase, is that it lacks any kind of community support. There is an active dev-team, but afaik no community team, no-one is focusing on building a community for this game.

The reason why qw/q2/ql/cpm even doom is active today, is because someone have taken up the task of creating a competitive and casual community for it. Whenever I've been looking into the Warsow scene all I've been able to find is a few cups and koth 1day/weekend tournaments, no dedicated websites, no leagues.

The way i see it, is that there is nothing to do in Warsow except casual play, no scene to conquer.

Still no Steam release?

still no steam release

change the weapons def, make it like cpm or ql with a bit more knockback and i'll play warsow again ;)

why make warsow "like cpm or ql" when you could just, you know, play cpm or ql, if that is what u like

it's just that ql or cpm got miles better weapons balance ;)

warsow weapon balance is garbage and random/gimmickly :)

warsow is supposed to be a cpm clone with walljumps and dash, and new maps etc...

since they removed the strong/weak ammos system, it's closer to cpm than ever, which is not bad cause cpm rocks!

i'm playing quakelive btw ;)

dunno what the point of your answer was, you just proved my point:
if you think ql and cpm got way better balance, play those.
kthxbye

like i said i'm playing quakelive already ;)

I know, we all know.

well, i will repeat myself but i still think warsow is a great game and in some aspects it's better than quakelive (netcode for example), but the weapons balance has been tunned there and here over the years and now it feels "gimmickly", for example 75dmgs for a direct rocket hit is like "WTF?", 75dmgs for the EB(rail) is like "WTF Again?". Rockets should deal at least 100dmgs and the -5 dmgs for the EB compared to quakelive or cpm is just not good. EB should deal 80dmgs, or maybe 90 since warsow is faster than quakelive and cpm.

The core gameplay of warsow is based on cpm. But yep there are differences introduced by the dash/walljumps and "easier to move around" movements. But still it's VERY close to cpm, especially since they removed the ammo system.
What i would do if i were a warsow dev, is making the plasma close to the cpm's one, make the rockets deal 100dmg, increase the LG knockback and damages and so on... I would make it not EXACTLY like cpm because you have to take into account the dash/walljumps. But still i would make it VERY close to cpm, but at least with more knockback for all the weapons since it's easier to escape a fight in warsow than in cpm.

Being a cpm clone with walljumps, dash, and new maps isn't a bad thing, actually it's AMAZING, but like i said 5676474 times already, the weapon balance isn't good. It somehow still work pretty decently as it is, but it's no where near CPM or QL.

CPM is a game that exists for many many years already, it has proven that it's the perfect gameplay regarding the movements and the weapons. What i don't like is that warsow introduced a "new" way of tweaking the weapons def, and this way is kind of messy, gimmickly... like when someone said that the EB was too weak, they added +5dmgs, and when someone said that the RL was too strong, they added -5dmgs... And now we have a weird weapons definition, like i said, with 75dmgs for the rockets as well as the EB. It's not THAT bad, but in my honest opinion it's not the way you're supposed to change the weapons balance. CPM was/is more professional in that regard. As well as quakelive.

Not even mentioning the "stun" that they added to prevent the "run run run" that some players used to do. When the weapons are strong enough, you don't need stun at all. Stun is flawed in its core, it's not a necessary feature in my opinion.

And finally, the weapon balance is a mixture of basewsw and FFMOD (remember FFMOD made by the lawenforcer some years ago ? The weapons felt AMAZING, they were stronger with more knockback and so on, it was GOOD), but sadly FFMOD died and now we have an hybrid weapons def with basewsw and FFMOD mixed up together... WEIRD!

:)

tbh i didnt read, i cant imagine what you have written there cause i said nothing that would make u respond with huge wall of text.
my point still stands, if you like cpm and ql, play those, no need for warsow to have the same weapon balance as either one of them

ok ;)

you could port the promod mode to 1.51 :3

/gl_ext_get_program_binary 1 - FTW.

fleri it actually has an account system since 1.0, and on ur profile u can take a look at achhievements and theres some tier-categorization. (even if it's far from perfect.)

i always hated this quake-clone argumentation. certainly it's built quite closely, but the game is different enough not to be called a clone imo. dash has a huge impact on overall gameplay, not only movement but also combats (yes, for fucking real.) u could call whole arena genre a 1 game thing, just being ignorant for the impact of little differences. whenever games are built on quake elements they are clones, when they're nothing similar they suck for lack of complexity. fuck that egocentric kind of bashing. most "clones" don't deserve this harsh title, it's disrespectful towards all the work guys put in it. and neglecting all significant differences.

(and the playerbase is tiny for real, but actually a little bit bigger than what web-serverbrowsers re showing currently. doesn't work too good any more since 1.5release from what i've seen.)


i as well gotta say that i find cpm weapons way more fun these days (than what wsw1.0 and its prior ones at least. didn't rlly test the new stuff). but still - to the point why one could favour it above quakes: the movement is really cool if u're able to master it on more tiny maps. especially gametypes like ctf benefit from it - every1 who loves outmoving his enemies is potentially A LOT better off with wsw than any other quake-like game (even cpm ctf is a joke in comparisson, regarding that factor). it is sad ctf died (and even the remaining ppl got split afterwards). imo it's THE gametype where wsw offers much cooler gameplay than its competitors. besides bomb, which takes its advantage from not being implented in quakes though (and not rlly containing a lot of the runs that made wsw fun to me for quite some years.)

Personally I think it should be even more of a clone.

I mean these guys develop, develop, develop.

I'd be intrigued if they tried to make it like quake live, only with their advanced engine updates.

If anything, its non-quake features put me off. Maybe they could make a 'quake' style game type to test the waters. Shrug.

just to let you know, since 1.5 knock-back code has been rewritten, also some weapons gained more knock-back which changed Wsw balance in the very interesting way, especially LG, it feels like as it should be now :b

I confirm, weapons give a way better feeling now =]

Best fps dm game out there map wise. If Quake Live can't get a community going with their ladder I don't think any fps dm game will. Still this is a really fun game but it doesn't have a community to make anyone stick around.

To be honest, the maps really put me off. They just feel like they're all thrown together in a hurry and that hey, dash and air control can save any map design.

great news for all 15 players that play this game!!

it would be funny, if it wasn't just a repetition :/

all 20 of the quakelive community are amused by your joke

B R U N S

honestly, who plays this game?

mostly ppl who didn't liked ql/cpma

i think there is something wrong with the engine of quakelive, it is such a different game on the internet.. it reminds me quake4. at least when i tried warsow i enjoyed on playing online mode.

well, warsow has quite strong and optimisied netcode, it may be even superior than cpma's one. from my experience 100ping in wsw feels like 60 in ql.

yes netcode i was trying to remember about this word. yeah i tested in North America playing in a server from Brazil, my ping was 60~ and i felt that it was more "fluent/natural". but i dont like this things such as dodge on the wall (sorry if my words doesnt describe properly what i want to say), i felt that i was playing like a "lego" game. dunno why..

Judging by warsow threads I guess only adem

pardon, what does "adem" mean?

http://esreality.com/?a=users&user_id=30381

No idea why every "0.0001" version release deserves being majored anymore. Maybe the 1.0 release was fine and an upcoming 2.0 if ever, but this much doesn't make sense for a game that no one plays here (except adem) and that has had tried many, many, many times to be advertised here and in other places without results.

Also to kill it is my personal crusade Kappa

just watched some videos of warsow on youtube
it looks like quake 3/live with alternate textures
same weapons lololol

WOWOWOWOOW (not)

who plays warsow:
people that cant be good in quakelive, from that group, most think its because ql crappy netcode wich in warsow is like tiny tiny better

you didnt play warsow but you have an opinion. smart...

moreover he has acquired intimate knowledge of the wsw scene by watching a few youtube vids

its not hard to recognize a quakelive clone man, been playing quake for 10 years now

warsow started 2005, quakelive 2008.

responding to anonymous

I really like the game, probably as many other QL players, but somehow we still don't play it. I used to play it from time to time, but I played it only once in last year, just to realize that Instagib there is no longer fun to play :/ (at least iCA on some large map).

Technically it is very good game. Gameplay design, weapons and netcode are well done, but the thing I always complain is the game look and feel. Crappy player sounds (weapon sounds are ok) and jerky models with addition of djWheat voice feels awkward to me.

it's not djwheat anymore ;p but jehar :)

usually people complain about weak weapon sounds in wsw, never heard anyone complaining about crappy player sounds :D

No, most of the weapon sounds are okay. Especially LG sound is kinda exciting. It gives you feel of power it deserves. Opposite stands for dash sound. It reminds me that I should go to toilet.
