needs artillery, and voxel bi-planes, and voxel bombers.
Imagine literally shooting the wing off a voxel biplane..... or bomber......
Or literally shooting the bottom off a plane so the pilot falls out. LOL.

this is beautiful.Look up a freeware game I think was called A New Zero. Not voxels, but does everything else you listed just fine. Full terrain deformation without voxels.

Giving the Minecraft communities ability to make everything shit and be retarded I wouldn't think of it being far fetched that Notch could list "The best game in the Universe(TM)" and the 12 year horde would see that as a signal to DDoS.

I'm sure you can spare 3 megabytes of bandwidth to try it out.It took me a minute to realize you meant the download size and not the amount of bandwidth required to play online.
How is the lag in comparison to Minecraft? Minecraft was way too laggy for anything like PVP fighting for me. Im really interested, but a PVP game where everyone teleports around is not going to work for me :PHm.
I wonder if, maybe, just maybe, your lag could be your connection or your computer, not the game? Huh.
That's a new concept, eliminating the other variables before claiming one of them to be the problem.
I rarely see any actual lag on Jaycraft when the network/server is stable (No, I'm not connected locally! The server is 300 miles away from me!)...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'd try this out, but block-based games with low-res graphics like this give me motion sickness (Minecraft is suspect too, when I'm not running 32x32+ texture packs, and from what I can tell, the graphics here aren't even 16x16 like the Minecraft default).

I'm not saying my connection is good, its not by any means, but Minecraft uses obscene amounts of bandwidth in comparison to most games. Im sure its because of everything that has to be recorded, but when a game is that laggy while other games play just dandy, I have to call that game out for being a bandwidth hog.

One chunk: 16x128x16 area full of blocks (32768 x the amount of data each one uses), each of which have several bytes (2x 8-byte var for X/Z and 1 byte for height IIRC) of data just for positioning, plus metadata and whatever else (chests = items = 2-byte ID, 1 byte damage, 1 byte stack size for a total of 4 bytes per inventory slot in usage; one low bit for empty slots, as I recall).How is the lag in comparison to Minecraft?

Every time you move 16 blocks in a direction, you have to grab 21 new chunks.
It doesn't take a programmer to figure out that this is a lot more data to be needing compared to 4-8 bytes of data per player for an FPS or any game in which the world is static (IE: most other games) or pre-downloaded with simulations run independently on each system (OpenTTD runs this way, as does Infiniminer)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And, like I said, if this game is the same way, you're not going to see a difference.
From what I saw, though, it has a fixed-size map, so all of that downloading should only be necessary once, much like Infiniminer.
That's not to say they don't know how to write a protocol to handle that transfer, though (and judging from the gray-world errors, they don't :P), so I guess what I'm saying is: It's not Minecraft, but what Minecraft is. Any other game doing anything like it would run into the exact same problem.

Where do you get building materials / how do you get rid of stuff you dig? I would adore a game where when you dug a few bricks, your hands were full of bricks until you put them somewhere...Your team's tent refills all your ammo and blocks, and I think I read that mining with the pickaxe gives you more blocks as well
Post by: Ninteen45 on April 13, 2011, 07:51:35 pm
seemed more same team griefers that was wrecking shit to me.
Though the game seems to be Green building stuff while Blue dig tunnels.
That's because the greens have to. The river spawns on their side, forcing them to build Normandy like casemates defending massive bridges.
Greens have the advantage of chokepoints.
Blues however, get a height advantage, the moutains being on their side. This allows them to dig however they please, complex tunnel systems, bunkers and trenches.

When I managed to join, I had a blast. Dug some tunnels, shot some guys, made a bunker, got into tunnel fights with enemies...Fuck that noise. Medics. Constructors. Demolitions experts. As cool as multiple attack classes would be we kinda need medics and somebody to make building easier. Possibly even making buildings like the healing tent, or reenforced blocks so bunkers are viable.

Post by: Jusman on April 13, 2011, 11:18:09 pm
I would support the addition of some kind of mobile artillery, where you would need to haul it somewhere and then try to set it up. It should be difficult to get them though (maybe that could be another reward for capturing intel) so they would have to be careful when setting it up or else get shot down and lose the guns to the other side.
fake edit: Duke is right, what I said before was about different combat classes, but different non combat classes would be cool, and would help add to the tactical part of the game.

Although I did have a lot of fun anyway. Made a wide berth to the north, where I kept meeting the same guy (I killed him 3 times). Then dug in the mountain, hid my tunnel's entrance, and opened a slit on the other side. By sheer coincidence, it was the ennemy's base. So I shot and shot, killing that same guys two more times, and at least 5 others, changing position from time to time, opening new slits...
Then got kicked. I guess they mistook me for one of the hackers, as I was apologizing to that guys I shot 6 times. :p
Post by: Journier on April 14, 2011, 12:43:10 pm
I built it in like 2 seconds flat, and they continued firing at me, and hitting me behind the stone.
I died 5 seconds later, and rage quit.
bullshit hitbox's
Also this game does not deserve headshots, the aiming sucks so hard its entirely random till you find a hacker or something, and they constantly 1 shot you in the head even when your ducking in and out of new firing holes you dug 20 squares across from each other.
I rage quit about an hour after i started.
One of the fun things i had during my game was tunnel wars, the enemy team dug a giant 3x3 tunnel across the map to our base, I was apparently the first one to find it, Built a giant tower above it to mark its location, then i went down into the enemies tunnel, hid in a little hidey spot i dug in the side of it, then ran up behind anyone running past and shot them in the head (multiple times). fucking hitboxes.
Then i went down the tunnel to their end, and blocked it off, and had hilarity ensue as they tried to dig it out as i was sitting behind it.
I kept lobbing grenades through the holes they made and killing multiple enemies on the other side.
I laughed hard, then promptly got 1 shotted in the head by some guy at the far end of the tunnel again.
Fucking headshots ruin this game.
then when i reload, a spawn camper or something was in our base and instantly rekilled me :(
------
edit
Why is it, sometimes i can start near the middle of the map at spawn, and at other times, i start at the very edge of the god damn map and have to walk a mile to the middle where anything is happening? Thats also annoying, give us set spawn spots or something please god.

Same goes if you're trying to snipe.
Post by: Ivefan on April 14, 2011, 01:02:13 pm
Blah blah hitbox, blah blah headshotYes, The head is kinda large and you just suck at aiming. i headshot people 90% of the times i kill someone.
Are you just too used to shitty console shooters where everyone is a tank?
Post by: Rift on April 14, 2011, 01:06:42 pm
I think the largest it got was 6v5 or so... and most of the time it was 4v4.
Right now, that map is a freaken hivecomb of tunnels.
pretty much every obstruction has a tunnel through it, and every location that a intel spawned theres tunnels around it or under it.. and they just go everywhere... I don't even know half, but i could easily travel from our side spawn to their side where the intel was, only seeing the light of day to cross the rivers... which neither side was protecting that much.
I suspect for joining servers ping-time or lost packets matters, i live in Eastren canada [Ontario], so that may have to do with it... maybe only close people can join.

[but im the server so i dont really.. lag]
Lag doesn't seem to have much of an effect on headshots though, whenever I headshot someone they died a few moments later, usually... Apart from that little lag fight at the intel we had where neither of us would die.
yeah. Kinda needs to refresh the maps every hour or so because of the extreme tunneling
I love those honeycombs, though, it does seem to leave blue at a disadvantage.
Post by: Rift on April 14, 2011, 01:17:51 pm
Yea.. i guess.. we could of tried to defend the river though and put a stop to it.
...but the rivers just.. too huge for 4-6 people to defend. especially if a couple are on the offensive.
Maybe if the maps were more.. rectangular it would be easier to defend.
like [=bluespawn ]=greenspawn
[====] shaped. rather then perfect squares
Alternatively if more people could join.. and not just have false-starts.

You mean you let the server through your firewall? If you're behind a router, no, that's not enough. Check out portforward.com (http://portforward.com), find the guide for your particular router, and open 32887 to UDP.

Damn hackers!
Although I did have a lot of fun anyway. Made a wide berth to the north, where I kept meeting the same guy (I killed him 3 times). Then dug in the mountain, hid my tunnel's entrance, and opened a slit on the other side. By sheer coincidence, it was the ennemy's base. So I shot and shot, killing that same guys two more times, and at least 5 others, changing position from time to time, opening new slits...
Then got kicked. I guess they mistook me for one of the hackers, as I was apologizing to that guys I shot 6 times. :p

The main website is down to accomodate traffic but you can still join games here.Sounds like they do have one.
EDIT: so far, my only real problem with the game (besides how hard it is to get on a server and start a game) is that with even a moderately good defense, the only way to get their flag is tunneling. Which is pretty much uncounterable as well as being annoyingly slow (unless your enemy is green and they get lucky, in which case they might have their intel on a small island, in which case your screwed).

Some way to heal on the field, either the ability to deploy destructible healing tents in the field or somebody with a medkit equipped that can be used on others.
Reenforced blocks that can only be destroyed by set explosives. no picks, no grenades, no shooting, just something you have to replace your grenades with.

Also, if they add satchel charges, they should lower the grenade's blast radius, but compensate by adding shrapnel, basically shots that randomly fire out when the grenade explodes. It would make it more of a trench clearer, then the demo pack it is now.

It took a long long time, and I died and killed so many times before I completed it.
When I finished, the enemy team had enough and they sent five people to get rid of me once and for all. It was awesome. I was running around like a rat stuck inside a giant, green, hollow penis while angry blue men were throwing grenades inside the windows to flush me out. They breached and killed me. Then they put a big blue flag on the tip of my penis and said in all-chat:
"Don't destroy it. Let it stand as an example."

By forcing the entire enemy team to rage-quit simultaneously.
I joined a server yesterday and everything was going normally until I noticed people on green saying "We're being stopped by some guy on Blue" which is when i noticed my whole team had left and I was defending the briefcase by myself.
Personally, I think it would fit better if it was green versus tan (sort of like Army Men, actually =3 ) since there's green stuff to hide in and tan stuff to hide in, but blue stuff doesn't really occur naturally. I believe Firearms and Firearms Source also had blue and red teams, except blue had green camouflage and red had brown/tan camouflage.
And once again, the heads need to be smaller.

green team blends with green land better. harder to see through fog of war.Meh, gotta disagree, the green is easier to see through the fog of war, green blends with the land a bit (not that well though because it's greener), but blue blends with the fog.

In every match I've joined, blues have had 150-200 kills and greens get 100 at best, while greens dominate the CTF set up 7-2 thanks to an almost impossible to enter fortification.
Blues:
Pros: Building/height/movement advanages from the start due to mountains. (+3)
Cons: Really easy to capture intel with all the tunnels and trenches/many nooby players/Large area to protect/can be easily spotted (-4)
Greens:
Pros: River offers protection against some players/highly camo'd/experienced players (+3)
Cons: Usually decimated in a firefight (Lack of height advantage and most players go all stealth mode)/Are beaten back easily/depend on bridges and walls more than blues/Don't have a height advantage (-4)

Erm... aren't the maps randomly generated?
Well, sort of. They're randomly generated, but according to a specific set of rules that guarantee the river spawning on Green's side. If you don't believe me, join a few different maps - every one will have a different map, but you'll always get a river near Green and mountains near Blue.

Attempt 1: Errors.
Attempt 2: Errors...
*ten attempts later*: Yay I'm on, server crash FUUUU!
Attempt 295: I get on a server, my character seems to start endlessly spinning around unable to do anything. Some teens are arguing in the chat, a guy is camping the spawn and I keep getting killed.
My impression: It's combining FPS with minecraft, so it's going to have a community that makes WoW look like, well us.

Out of interest would anyone want a five minute build period for there to be actual defenses/tunnels to fight against? Also, since I'm a newbie, how do you change your name from deuce?
I would say no build time, building under fire is what the game is about. You can change your name in the config file.

Well, at least no freaking spawn camping. Every server I go on I'm basically already dead. I'm probably not the only one either.Meh, its not that big of a deal, since your spawn is semi-random, it's not like they are controlling your entire side of the map (and if they are, then just switch teams).
Honestly, I don't think I have ever died more then once in a row after spawning (and if you spawn near the same place as last time, then be careful and look around for who killed you last time so they don't get you again).

It's kinda difficult to spawncamp as somebody else will spawn in prime position to take them out. Usually it's just a dude trying to sneak around to your intel.
Totally this. Even if a guy knows exactly where you spawn via info, he is only going to be able to cover about a 1/6 of the map in the time it takes to reoriented and find a hiding spot. That that is for me, I am sure many people get over the shock of death much faster. If you are being killed over and over by the same guy, that means that, one you are not very good at the game, or two you are really unlucky.

Usually it's just a dude trying to sneak around to your intel.Heh, I dig into some hills by the end of the map behind the spawns and make a small tunnel network, dig small tunnels upwards and a small room by the surface.
Then i open one square, shoot someone in the back(remember to headshot, else they'll find you) and close the quare again and go to another little room nearby.
Its a hell to find me unless they are lucky, and if they do i just plug the room so that they cant find the tunnels.

Post by: Duke 2.0 on April 15, 2011, 05:44:55 pm
ive done it, and on some maps, theres perfect spots to spawn camp, that gives complete coverage of a very large area to nail anyone just spawning in.Being able to see a large area basically means you are more open to getting headshotted by some dude who was not in your line of sight. Ivefan has the right idea of only opening up a single block to peep out of, although it takes a while and is kinda boring for a few spawncamp kills.

Only problem is the up/down bug where you can see others through blocks.

I really do love some of the matches I've played, but gameplay lacks any sort of coherence or flow. Often times it'll be 2-3 people on each team actually fighting, building, and fortifying while the rest (anywhere from 5 to 20 people) dick around in the back. Then again, it's just beta, so I can't really judge it. I can't wait for artillery, more types of placeable blocks, classes like a rifleman, engineer, etc.
This game has a ton of potential. : D

The issue is that it is always three high. I often use the pick because the very slight increase in speed is not worth the extra useless block to me. And you never know when you will need to build something.Meh, gotta disagree, the three tall lets you walk through it full speed if you travel down it again (which is much faster then crouching and is very nice for long distance tunnels), and the only time that the extra block matters is when the ground is only two high and you want to stay hidden.
Saving the extra blocks is kinda pointless, since you lose them when you die, and if your planning on building something you can just always go back to the tent.
apparently the shovel is the fastest digging apparatus if you aim it right, 3 high tunnel in epic fast time compared to pick axe.Yeah, and if you get someone helping you dig, then it goes twice as fast.

Right, but when I am digging under their feet and a team of dirty blues are trying to find me, one less block means they have only 2/3 of the chance to get me.
Yeah, but you make a hell of a lot more noise.

I also think the map should be a bit more flat, and instead of giving mountains to blue and rivers to green, have hills scattered around with rivers scattered about. I can imagine a map where people are essentially fighting over for control of a bridge in the center of the map.

Personally I think that before artillery there needs to be more reinforced blocks (like concrete?) so that you can make bunkers that can withstand the artillery better.In addition, voxelised sandbags, barbed wire etc. that's spawned on a tile-by-tile basis would be cool. Maybe landmines? (Did they even have those in WW1?)

Not really. People would abuse it. Though if it could be weaponized into a grenade form (like Nova-6 in Black Ops) then it'd be a pretty badass way to clear bunkers and tunnels.

2. "version mismatch or map transfer fail" on every fucking server, there is litterally none, i found one, but then my internet failed and that server went offline

What else can you do? D:
Almost anything but that. Having no wall is better then that. It allows them to snip you in the chest and you can not even see them. When you crouch down to fire back they can head shot you.
The correct way to build a wall is just two blocks high, that way you can shoot from it easily, and when you crouch they can not shoot you.
If you want to get really fancy you can add another block on the out side of the wall, so they can not use it as easily. Roofs are okay, but if you are smart then your wall is higher then the nearest hill and you will not need them.
Other crap like crenels or holes or what ever only help the other team.

Also, try to build any fortifications that're obvious (pillboxes etc, not sniper dens which should be the same colour as the surrounding terrain) in the same colour as your team. It'll usually put off the other team's shot at least once in awhile. I usually make the base of it grey or the base colour and the top as the same colour as my character's head as it usually results in them misfiring and hitting the block instead of me.Unless they are on the far edge of the mist, and then you only see movement anyway, I have never mistaken a player for a block or the reverse.

Just practiced guerilla warfare by digging into blue's territory and popping out of holes and headshotting blue scum, then shouting GUERILLA!
This is an awesome thing to do. I like to find a spot where the enemy passes a lot, dig a little bit out of a hill, and shoot them as they come up. If they catch on, I'll plug up the hole retreat down the tunnel, and either wait for them to lose interest or pop out of a different hole.

The others either have "version mismatch" or "are incorrectly configured"

I am confused, how do you join a server? If I click one on the site it says that it is full or configured incorrectly?I have the same problem, look for orangemachines(or something like that) server and wait till it has a free spot because that is the only server I could join.

There's no win or loss condition. It's impossible to do either. The only possible outcome is the server crashing.
Post by: Criptfeind on April 17, 2011, 04:02:38 am
Don't say you do not consider the team with the most kills or the most info caps the winners when the server crashes.

Defending the intel from a swarm of enemies seems more exciting then the pretty much anything else you can do.
Post by: Criptfeind on April 17, 2011, 04:55:43 am
I got back to the base with a score four times higher then anyone else and nine health. But I did not die once.
Personally, I consider how the gameplay goes (at least as far as this game is concerned) to be far more important then the score.
Defending the intel from a swarm of enemies seems more exciting then the pretty much anything else you can do.
I guess you are right.
I guess it just was not fun for some reason then. I dounno.

1) Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add this line

2) Open http://46.4.253.162/automation/ in your browser and set your real IP and your Hamachi IP
3) Launch server.exe as usual

Bah. I will shoot you in the side, front, or back. Blues do not deserver any respect.
Although yeah. I kill a ton of people via sneaking up behind them and head shoting them from like two squares away. It is fun.

You can not.
There has been 0 help on the official forum, or from anyone who has been able to play. None of the servers, despite having several slots staying open and a low ping, have allowed me to connect either, and I can't even see the B12 server.
I did not even know there were official fourms. And that is just how the game is. I sometimes get in on my first try, and sometimes no servers work.

I was playing blue once and I spent ages competing with a couple of green players over a small hilltop fort. Every time I captured it I'd raise the blue flag and then they'd raise the green one when they inevitably recaptured it. We went back and forth for about half an hour and by the end the fort wasn't even there any more, it was just a flag.Those kinds of scenarios is the most fun, just as struggles over tunnels.
The worst thing that occurs is when people change team to break things for the other team. In one game green broke our Intel spire, then some blue went and broke their "fabulous bridge(rainbow colored)" and a green went and broke my newly built intel spire. After that there was no point in building anything anymore.

I saw a guy build this really tall tower with a spiral staircase going up for the intel and several people were on top of it defending their base. It was a pretty cool tower, too - must have taken the guy half an hour to make. I was on the other team, but I managed to get over there and run probably halfway up it before they noticed I was there and I got shot lol.
Then someone swapped and ran over and dug out the foundation and made it all collapse.
The game needs some kind of option to disallow new team joins from destroying blocks not made by them for X time after joining, so you couldn't swap over destroy their fort and swap right back. People could still grief by staying on the team a while then doing it, but at least it would stop the issue of people swapping back and forth just to destroy the enemy fortifications.
I've also seen evidence of cheating, but im not sure if its cheating or some kind of bug. A guy was running across the map repeatedly falling, and shooting him repeatedly never seemed to get anything to hit (even if I seemed to hit him, which was difficult since he was constantly teleporting into the sky and dropping), yet he was able to shoot everyone else fine.
Another time I was deep underground digging a tunnel under a mountain that the other team had a fort on (plan was to tunnel up right past them and shoot them from behind) and started getting shot, I ran around and noticed bullets coming through the roof, even though there was like 10 solid tiles between me and the surface. I went back inside and this time I sealed up the tunnel behind me before I went deeper just to make sure someone hadnt come behind, but when I got in there I got shot by the same person (an anonymous Deuce).

I just thought of something. Why are the Greens and the Blues fighting?
The Blues were just sitting around, minding their own business, being good people when, out of nowhere, the Greens came, torched Blue's cities, and stole Blue's wives and children. Blue begrudgingly picked up weapons in order to rescue their women and children, no more, no less.

The blues were indeed sitting around. In their ivory towers of avarice and corruption while the poor greens were ignored and spat upon. Blue government was the spawn of hate and discrimination and it inflicted so many atrocities upon poor green folk that green had no choice but to fight for their rights.Blue: Filthy greens monopolizing the river.
Green: Damn them blue for being blue.
tbh, I just adopt the hate of my current team as I just play the side with the fewest players when I join.

when I was describing it to a friend I basically said "it's like minecraft but actually fun and it doesn't suck"
Did I mention Green are horrible sadistic puppy killers who would sell their own mother into slavery to support their heroin addiction for another day? and that green was Hitlers, Stalins, Pol Pots, and Justin Beibers favorite color. Green is also the color of the frogs that Green soldiers gives to little children to lick and get high. Anyone who says differently is a Green spy and is spreading Green propaganda hoping to spread lies to the good Blue people.

That last time I found a spot way up with everyone else fighting down lower, and was using iron sights to snipe the other team from way across the field - nobody ever even shot back at me, I don't think they ever spotted me (was plenty of my team mates down below getting shot and drawing their attention). I was barely in view with the iron sights mostly obscured by the fog, without them I couldnt even spot the other team, and the main path being used went right by me without being in the field of view of my spot so nobody walked close to me. To actually get to my spot from their side they would have to have ran way around to the side (or dig up into my tunnel) because the side facing them was cut off sheer for like 8 tiles. I was down to my last 3 rounds with 14 kills already in that life and was lining up a 15th on a sniper who was standing still behind cover (head sticking out) when suddenly I get kicked.
I'm not sure if the game was screwing up, or if people kicked me because they thought I was cheating since they couldn't see me. I'm not even sure if people can kick you... I've never seen any vote kick or anything.

I spammed chat for the next hour saying i had stolen their Medical Tent, and was holding it hostage until they brought me 1 billion blocks. I would then release it.
Most of the time though I just hid, and headshot people as they tried to recover it hilariously.

I played it 3 days to get a good feel for the game. Awesome if played properly, but 3/4ths of the time after you do spend 10 minutes trying random servers and finally get in one, it's a trollfest.

The game idea is rock solid and when the game and the community develop a bit, it could become a real gem. Right now most people seem to just run around and build useless stuff or go on solo raids not achieving much. The asymmetric map is a great idea, it gives the sides a surprising amount of character. The Greens in their huge and useless bases and the Blues lost in their endless confusing honeycomb of tunnels..
The hackers and griefers are a problem, but they seldom ruin the feeling for me. I just go somewhere else on the map or change servers if it's unbearable. I never build huge structures anyway so can't really comment on the building destroying type of nuisance. Flying endless grenade Deuces usually seem to get bored quickly anyway. Maybe the worst I saw was someone with endless blocks and some sort of a speedhack apparently. He sprayed the entire map in no time with pink and blue blocks. It was horribly headache-inducing to walk around and the overhead map became all but useless. Oh well, griefers gonna grief I guess. Maybe the admin-kick update will help a bit. Some sort of private servers or the like would be great as well.

P.S. In case you only had Windows 7 and never had previous versions, I may understand why don't you know it.
In Windows 7 they hid it in the adapter settings. It looks like they tried to hide as much customization as possible in this one, so you have to click through dozens of windows to set up everything you want.
In previous versions of Windows it was right next to the screen resolution though, so I don't know how could you miss it.
P.P.S. Guys, you need to read that thread I've linked.

blue are tunnel rats and snipers,this is due to the large mass of land.
dont think that thay dont build forts thay do and often better placed than green ones.
green is full of builders,often makeing a large fort far from front line and rarey useing there forts with any plan.
forts:
often built way to far from the fighting,and not near the med tent or intel.
easy to beak even at range(4 bullets will smash a block)
take loads of time to make
tunnels are :
safe from spying eyes and bullets
faster that walking as there flat
slow to dig even spades
are great for popup attacks
hard to smash
trenchs:
often built with a flaw,to short,no cover ,in a bad spot.

Trenches, if aptly placed, are great battle stations. In my eperience, they should be placed on hillsides where they begin to incline downards. Very useful as when you run over the open ground that hilltops oftenly are comprised of, you can leap down into the trench and get a good view of the stretch of land ahead. And by digging the trenches just a couple of blocks below the beginning of the slope, the other team will have a hard time using it as a fortification against you. The slope itself provides a good obstacle that will slow down the enemy if they should try to assault you from that direction. They also make a good starting point for building foxholes further down the slope. Trenches are of course vulnerable to grenades, flanking and rear attacks. Thus it's always a good idea to make the trench in an irregular pattern, not just one long and straight ditch.
Pillboxes are in the grey-zone of usefulness. They are highly conspicuous and tend to draw the enemy towards them. So if you're wanting a good sniping spot, pillboxes are not for you. They are supposed to be placed in the way of enemy routes and to recieve a constant barrage of bullets. Unless you make very large windows, witch kind of defeats the purpose of a pillbox, your field of view will be limited. Generally, go with either 1x1 if the area ahead of it is flat, and 1x2 if it's jutting downwards. But always keep an eye on the entrance, since they are easilly circumvented. Making the wall two blocks thick on the sides might also prove beneficial, giving you some extra cover should things get really heated. Repairs can always be made at a later time. Lastly, something I've started doing is putting a coloured square on the roof of my pillboxes equal to the size of the intel square on the map. This will inevitably draw the enemy towards you, so be prepared. Can be undermined, so listen for diggers. Grenades are always a threat here as well, as the space inside is usually limited.
Crennelated walls and "Eagle's Nests" are something of a marriage between trenches and forts. I'm not sure I've ever found them very useful. Oftenly they are overrun by enemies wich turn them against you. As they tend to be placed on hilltops just before the incline, walls work equally well despite wich side of it you are standing on. But they can still be good for giving you a sheltered vantage point over the area ahead. Building these can be very dangerous, especially if you want them overlooking enemy territory.
Fox holes is where the money is at. In AoS they're like subterranean trenches, opening up with single block holes here and there. They are extremely hard to spot. Generally you won't notice them until the tracer-fire is flingin' around your blocky head. They are quick to build, and in my opinion unrivaled as a offensive fortification. It can be a good idea to place them ahead on the flank of a trench, wall or fort, looking sideways over the ground infront of said fortification. This will provide a veritable shooting range as the enemy tries to advance towards the battlements, oblivious to your little peepy-hole way over on that hill no one cares about. Provided you know how to aim, you can kill dozens of people before they figure your position out. They are easilly defended and easilly escaped through glorious digging.
Tunnels are ample subbteranean highways, just keep your eyes peeled for any travellers in the opposite direction.
Towers is what you build if you want to be shot at from eleven different directions at once.
I'd also like to add my thoughts on the best intel defence: A pillar 2x2 thick, no more, since that gives the enemy a tube to climb through unseen. Make it decently high, and then make as many support pillars as you wish, preferably 2x2 as well that you erect next to the intel pillar and then connect them at the top. This is far from fail-proof but it will take some time getting to the intel for the other team while your own guys spawn nearby and can be directed to defend it.
I really love this game.

These trenches usually have a small roof and even if they don't it can easily be turned into a trap by enemies waiting for people to jump into the trench as they are occupied looking elsewhere.

Make it decently high, and then make as many support pillars as you wish, preferably 2x2 as well that you erect next to the intel pillar and then connect them at the top. This is far from fail-proof but it will take some time getting to the intel for the other team while your own guys spawn nearby and can be directed to defend it.
An elevated 3x3 tower with the bottom cut of supported by 4 pillars seems good to me.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Just make it high enough so that the vertical supports cannot be dug from underneath.
Only problem with this is that it is griefer prone, I have never had an enemy take the intel from this setup but all of my constructs has been torn down by same team assholes.

Greens tried to tunnel into it, I shot them and physics ensued.
Intel at bottom surrounded by blocks = best defense.
Post by: Paul on April 22, 2011, 06:26:36 pm
It only took a body shot, since by then I was down to 8 health from all the near misses (some of which were caused by grenades, had a few people who just started chucking grenades all over the place on me, and they seem to hurt even through walls if you're in close enough proximity). Too bad. Jumping in their bunker and grenading all three of us would have been a good way to end that run.
I think I helped the blue side grab the intel, since I was covering the area where the green intel was and a single blue managed to run through and grab it and run out without getting killed, since all the green bunkers along the way were empty (thanks partly to me shooting their occupants). But I never did see it get captured - not sure if the guy who got it got lost or what, never saw him lose it or finish capturing it after a long time.
Foxholes are definitely the way to get surprise kills. Getting off to the side and making little tunnels and popping up in unexpected places can catch people off guard, and as long as you can do headshots reasonably well you can get a surprising number of kills before being spotted, especially if you keep moving after every kill or two.

Entered a map where the teams had brought down a mountain. The ground then became a No-Man's land. Blue's sniping from the mountaintops, Greens charging and corpses falling into the water. It. Was. SCARY.Was that Orcworm US? Just came from there, we managed to collapse everything in a line in the middle, from blue to green. Real fun battles happened afterwards.
Edit: Now almost the whole map is flat, the top and bottom areas are still there though, the middle is the huge No-Mans land peppered with pink blocks and random fortifications.

forts,Towers and Pillboxes need to be in the right place above a flat plane that your foes must cross is best,linking them with tunnels.
to hide a tunnel dig out the background dirt and change it to grass colour, this help hide the hole a lot.

It's actually really common. I was playing on a server earlier where green just went scorched-earth on their side of the field. They'd cut out a huge swath of land down to the water. Mabe it incredibly difficult to gain any sort of foothold when trying to attack.

-> is facing towards your enemy's main side. You need to build a step at the front in order to jump up on and be able to shoot at your enemy, it also allows you to jump down and reload without being shot. The little fortification thing at the back is just to force enemies to get right up to the edge in order to shoot you. The lack of steps at the back (although you can build steps, just don't make them a regular part of the fortification, put them at irregular intervals) is to stop the enemy from turning the trench against you if they capture it. They'll still be able to, but it'll be harder for them as they have to dig out a bunch of blocks, build a bunch etc.

Minecraft is the CoD community for indies.If anything, it's more like the WoW community. The underlying game is genuinely good, just the people that play it aren't. And other developers completely miss the point about what made it good when they're shamelessly cloning it. And the communities for those games are entirely devoted to hating the original despite(or because) the fact that "their" game is even worse.
I cite warhammer* online and fortresscraft as examples.
*yes, the IP is older. Doesn't make it any less of a Tolkien ripoff nor does it excuse the gameplay.
Back on topic, I'm 0-13 against the same guy in less then a minute without ever having seen an enemy.

I'd like to imagine artillery as such:
-Requires a crew of two to use; kills acquired with the artillery give points to both players. Don't know how the work-load would be spread between them, though.
-Very slow to construct/move from place to place, but able to soak up a lot of damage. Only has a range covering about 3 fifths of the map horizontally. Carried around in a similar fashion to the intel, but slows the player a lot and removes their ability to use equipment. This way, it'd be necessary to protect anyone carrying artillery around, and the impeded movement would also make it more difficult to steal the other team's artillery.
-Aimed using a Call of Duty 4 air-strike style selector on the map. "Spotters" would be necessary to use the artillery efficiently. Plus, the enemy team would have to cower in fear once their intel has been captured due to the UAV system this unlocks.
-Only able to fire once every minute or so. Quite a wide damage radius around the selected point, insta-kill if you're anywhere near the centre of this area.
-Concrete blocks (which require the use of 5 ordinary blocks to create) would be immune to artillery damage, and any other damage aside from that caused by the pick. (It'd take more time for invading forces to get rid of a concrete bunker if they can't use their shovels against it). This'd also be a nice feature for the greens due to their base building tendencies.
-Possibly a 'gas' attack? Very slowly deals damage, but the gas stays in the area for quite a while and can spread downwards, into, say, bunkers. To prevent OP use of this attack in a defensive manner, it can't be fired within a certain distance of your own team's intel.
That said, I'm going to post this on the Google Moderator site the dev has up.

- Rush up behind enemy tanks with sticky bombs to take out their treads or engines to immobilize them.
- Pixelated flamethrowers for clearing out bunkers and trenches. (With explodey gas tanks on your back)
- Shotguns for fighting inside fortress bunkers.
- Biplanes using the same modular system, with teams working feverishly to put together B-2 bombers when suddenly some idiot hijacks it and crashes it somewhere because the controls are jittery as hell (because they didn't install the tail-wings yet, derp)
- Maybe slam together factory like structures to mass produce vehicles, rather than putting them together one by one like some savage.
- I'd also like to see smaller ammo clips and more ammo dumps spread across the map
- Maybe a limited inventory where you can only pick two or three items out of a selection in addition to your shovel, pick and rifle. Do you go with the gasmask or with the medkit? Pile up the grenades for a suicide run? Or grab the C-2 explosives and call your team-mates to cover you as you rush up to the enemy bunker to take it out.
- Bayonets.
- Some kind of constructable designatable spawn point,
- APC vehicles.
- Paratroopers.
- Ridable unicorns which turn all tiles within range into multicoloured messes.

Me? I'd love to see a modular tank design, plonk down steel blocks for the body, black for the treads, blue or green for the side it fights on (Or pink and cyan if you're a ass) then put in a engine block in the back, driver block in the front, and gunner block in the turret, lenghten the blocky barrel of the cannon to increase the tank's arcing shell trajectory. (Or just minimize engine power and maximize the turret to make a self-propelled artillery).All of those except unicorns. No, just no.

Antiblocking might be a tiny bit harder. Additionally, its all information that seems like it would be passed to the server anyways, so it shouldnt increase bandwidth requirements. It would increase server processing overhead a little though.

It's really a simple premise: The client doesn't do anything besides turn user commands into a low-bandwidth shorthand and display the results. The server decides whether or not to allow that request. Otherwise you might as well not even bother with coding inventory and ask users to please use no more than three grenades (or whatever) per life.

I mean, if it actually stopped hacking it would be a different story - but it obviously will not. What really needs to be done is server side tracking of this stuff, so people can't just edit a memory value to get limitless health, ammo, grenades, etc. Blocking people who happen to have a program installed which is intended solely for modifying single player games is just silly. The fact his game is even vulnerable to a memory editor intended for single player games is a sign of poor design.

Personally I'm appalled at the lack of imagination and social insecurity in the worst offenders, I really don't need to hear nor see their Submissive play fantasies or sexual preferences rendered in artful cyan and hot pink, nor do I care much for the Prewar Finnish Airforce. Frankly was it up to me, I'd have trolls ground into sausage and then have the sausage fed to elephants.*
*people who are just being drunk online will be fed straight to the elephants.
It's a good thing Elephants don't eat sausage, (unlike most of these phallic obsessed little twits) but I digress frivilously.
Wouldn't keeping everything server side increase latency between the client and the server? And subsequently increase server strain?

Unless I'm missing something, when you throw a grenade, your mouse click hits the server and then the server sends the grenade to everyone else. So the server can count that. It also must know where each player is and where the outpost is. So if the counter goes over 4 without hitting the outpost. And the client doesn't have to say "okay, I hit the outpost. Please reset my ammo and brick counters.", since the server know where both of them are it can just infer that information.
Also, if the player's position is sent to the server, it's rate of change can be calculated server-side with no additional information transmitted.
So instead of the client checking user memory and telling the server "I'm throwing a grenade now", the server hears the client say "throw grenade now!" then checks its records to see if the player should have a grenade to throw. There isnt any checking between the server and the client to see if there numbers match up. The server would just win anyways.
It will increase processor overhead and memory-use server side, but because no additional information is being transmitted, it dosnt increase bandwidth usage.

Grenade spammers cant dig through mountains very fast, so it ended out with me and two friends hiding in tunnels below mountains while we listened to the hacker fly about and slowly grind down towards us.
It was like hiding from artillery, and was quite amusing.
We kept at it for longer then the hacker, then we found some horrible multi-colored castle of his had been built directly above us, so we tunneled up to it and destroyed it after he had left.

Well, don't want to be hard, but wouldn't minecraft be more suited to you? Except if you made those in a war zone, witht he fun of defending them, they jsut means you spent a lot of time not helping your team at all.
A) It is a sandbox, by definition creations there will be fleeting at best. B) I play for fun, sometimes this coincides with the goal of assisting the team. But I am not chained by the obligation. C) If they can't survive for five minutes without me babysitting them while I flex my creative muscle, my team doesn't deserve any help short of being put to bed with a shovel and finally, D) Who said anything about defending them? Not five seconds after the last screenshot was taken it was griefed to hell. In fact the first one was griefed by someone who sounded exactly like you... To whom the arbitrary goal of carrying a little suitcase from point A to point B ad nauseum to make the arbitrary score slightly higher than the other teams took priority to anything else.
The hell is wrong with you.

The hell is wrong with you.Hey there, no need to be so hostile! He was simply pointing out the fact that the majority of players play the game for its combat aspect, and don't appreciate being outnumbered because several of their team-mates are effectively a non-entity on the battlefield due to the time-consuming nature of their construction projects.
I can see his point; Minecraft Creative mode (or Survival mode, whichever, although Creative is free if I'm not mistaken) is probably more suitable to making nice looking constructions for several reasons; there's a bigger variety to the blocks, hacks allow more freedom in creative mode, and above all you don't contribute to the unbalancing of teams, which potentially takes away some of the enjoyment for other players. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with this, just that Sheb wasn't attacking you personally - as you seemed to assume. And taking on an aggressive tone like that is doing nothing but creating the sparks for a flame war :( Fortunately, I think these forums are nice enough that such sparks would not have ignited an unholy furnace of internet rage, and a relaxed, mature conclusion would've been reached.
TL/DR; Please play nice.
Cool constructions by the way. By far the most creative I've seen (although, I can only compare them with dick drawings and swastikas :P).

3-6: people on a team building undefendable structures that don't help all that much- Irritating when they all stay in their bases and the remainder of the teams are actually trying to play the game as it was designed
7+ people building structures that are indefensible, serve no purpose, and complain when they are destroyed in a battle- Seriously guys, this isn't minecraft.
Also: I don't think we can really apply the term "Griefing" to this game, barring instances of people switching sides mid-battle to screw over the other side's stuff and then going back to their original team. If the other team breaks your stuff in a battle, boo freaking hoo. Did you really thing the giant, incredibly colorful building WASN'T going to draw fire like a magnet?

Mind you, if seeing a big "YOU WIN!" screen is your objective in a game, you'll probably be disappointed. To be philosophical, it's more about the journey than the destination; to be literal, it's more about goofing off, building stuff and blowing away highly-pixelated heads than about winning. (Does the game ever actually end? I've seen maps where the intel was constantly captured by a couple of people on one side, but I don't remember the game ever ending because of said captures. ???)

Info is for points (I do not do this, and wish there was a way to separate kill points from info points. I can respect 150 kills. Most of the time if you have 15 info caps, I am unsure if you are good at this game, or boring enough to cap the info the safe and easy way. Cause, so long as you do not mind spending like 15 to 30 min digging, it is almost impossible to really defend the info.) and to locate guys on the other team, which I will do if I am having issues finding them, and will gleefully hunt them down if some one else on my team caps the info.

What are spiderforts?
Been wondering this myself.
Well, I haven't actually played this game, just been lurking about keeping an eye on it's development, but I imagine a spiderfort would be a fort which is largely composed of a spider-web like maze of tunnels, with dead ends and multiple paths everywhere. Usually what the term refers to at least.

Other stuff ive seen that makes the intel almost uncappable: in the middle of a huge flat island just above water level (cant dig under) right in the middle of the green spawn. Blues never managed to make the distance before getting blown away. As either team building a pile of fake intels then just digging your intel down a square or 2 and building a bunker wall on top of it (nobody ever digs down on the wall, inside/outside maybe, but its a hassle to dig in the walls)

Don't forget to build those fake intel over your regular intel. They'll head to it's position on the map, realize that it's a 'fake' intel, and head off. Of course, eventually they'll realize that the intel must be underneath one of the fake ones, and they'll start to dig. Hopefully, your team would be big/good enough to prevent or delay the discovery of your intel.
Another idea would be to simply pave the your entire side of the map in green/blue, but that takes tons of time to do. The payoff might be worth it though.

If 90 bullets is enough to break all the supports, the spiderfort isn't spider enough.
Post by: USEC_OFFICER on May 05, 2011, 02:47:37 pm
shoot out the supports
You could have mined directly underneath the supports, so that they were touching the ground at only at a diagonal, which would trick the blues into thinking that it was still secure. Then you do the same to the final support, and down it falls.

Anywho, to keep this on topic;
Beta .42 has been released, as Taricus pointed out! If what I read on the forum is accurate, this update should include a grid on the map and a map editor, at the very least.
*5 minutes later*
Okay, directly from the dev log:
Code: [Select]
Ace of Spades Beta 0.42
-fixed map radar bug
-fixed image tearing on fast rotation (may fix potential crash)
Ace of Spades Beta 0.41
-vxl folder added to installer
-version fix test
Ace of Spades Beta 0.4
-added VOXED map editor
-servers can load custom maps
-F1 will save a map from in-game
-added map grid
-drop live grenades on death
-gunhit sould restored
-fixed chat with caps lock
-map loading done all in memory
-more bounds checking on array indices
-fixed queued up lag kills
-added more server-side cheat detectionSeems to be a load of bug fixes, aside from the map editor and the grid. Can't wait to see what crazy maps the community comes up with.

The blue army will prevail
We will hide our intelligence inside giant models of the intelligence.
We will build large walls and bunkers.
We will dig a tunnel that leads straight to the Green intelligence.
We are blue.
All hail the azure Kaiser.

I've been playing on "Offical Reddit Server v042"
It gets a new map somewhat often, so it isn't a complete wasteland, earlier today I led construction on a giant causeway to the center of the map, the game turned into green trying to capture and destroy the wall, and our intel was never touched.

I've noticed alot of rounds tending to follow one of two trends. Either the Blues establish a strong forward presence and stay there sniping Greens as they build/attack, or the Greens manage to dig an elaborate tunnel system deep into the Blue base where they proceed to use foxholes to spawncamp.or the games which are a mix of both. some greens with tunnels and the rest getting sniped while blue runs to the front and gets shot on the way.

I was making a tunnel to make access to the green base easier. all of a sudden, I stumble upon a small cavern. Right about the same time, Taricus finds it too, and we figure out that green has made a mountain fortress to hide the intelligence in.
Que an hour of The cavern slowly turning into no-mans land as the greens furiously defend it using foxholes and winding tunnels.

Of course, you can just dig a long tunnel, and spawncamp by changing your shooting hole between each shots and filling all your tunnel, but at that point it become impressive for another reasons: it's so damn boring you must have no life to do that.
Ah, and I've taken the habits to provide "facts" about the opposing team each tim I get killed. Last time, I was on that urban map and shouted "Fun Facts: Green killed Bambi". Their highest-ranked dude said that he couldn't possibly stay with the greens anymore and turned his coat. :)

Every time you die, log off and go into another server. It doesn't matter if you've already been there or if there's a large ping delay, just go to another server and repeat the process. I find that it adds adrenalin to combat situations and it gives me the feeling each time I join a new server that I'm in a new soldier's body, fighting a battle in another country or something.

And then I was building this crappy little fort in a valley, with battlements to shoot through, I look up and see a teammate building a larger fort just to the left, on a hill... In bright pink.
We were both taking potshots, gunning down any green guys who came in sight, I went over to the other fort and we were defending it happily until some dweeb on our team came along and leveled it, but oh well.
Then it was back to the other fort, the whole team started adding to it... And I fell in love with this game. :D

I usually just see if the server won't kick you for firing off rounds in a world run by minecraft players who can't deal with something broken in a game where any weapon you use destroys it causes some massive drama. oh and I really really wish for either more water blocks and a chance of swimming or a space map where you got two ships that are suspended on a set of 3x3x3 floating blocks connected to the ship destroy all and the whole ship falls killing every one who was on it. giving the other team a huge advantage in defending the intel usually this would lead to a win and the admin should reset the map after one of the ships is completely destroyed.
Good luck. The favorite activity of AoS admins is to not admin their servers.
Post by: Greiger on May 14, 2011, 05:27:59 pm
Then some douchbag came and griefed everything taller than 2 tiles. He actually ran out of stuff to destroy because nobody was votekicking him despite 3 or 4 people spamming chat telling folks to. I would rather all blocks placed by somebody only be removable by the enemy or the player that placed them at this point. That is a stupid and absurd solution, but it's better than watching somebody from your own team run around with a shovel and destroy meaningful defensive shit faster than you can build supports.
And then there's all the damn meta. Like folks who run around just spelling out words or making stupid little things that look like fake flags or bases from the map. Animate the real flag box, just a make it flash 2 shades of blue or green on the map, all it takes to stop most of that shit.
Once the dev does something about that stuff instead of replacing old but good gun models and updating ironsight images that all the 'serious' players just replace with a circle and full transparency anyway, I'll play it again.
So much potential in this game, yet it has this whole Derek Smart way of ignoring the issues that keep the game from being good, and in some cases playable.

I don't think that the making of fake intels is meta or stupid, or should be stopped. Sure, it's unrealistic to make a box out of bright blue or green blocks to make a fake intel, but it's a strategy, one of the few that is... well... covert, I guess you could say, or not combat-related. It's a nice challenge when you have to find the right intel, for me.

The griefing on this game is pretty bad. I was just on the skybridge server and someone destroyed a citadel we had built for a hour in a minute.In my opinion, it's not griefing if an enemy did it.
Was it an enemy?
Post by: Rumrusher on May 15, 2011, 05:22:28 am
some how to me Griefing can't be all about destroying blocks could it? if it is then I should be able to flip over to the enemy teams see where every one is then flip back tell my team all the enemy hide outs with out getting kicked or banned. unless it's easier to get someone to emote when you kick down their block castle than it is to tunnel through your intel to the enemy's tent. oh well now I know the two factions that fight over this game the CoD and the MC players.

The griefing on this game is pretty bad. I was just on the skybridge server and someone destroyed a citadel we had built for a hour in a minute.In my opinion, it's not griefing if an enemy did it.
Was it an enemy?
No, it was a teammate.

1. Snipers.
2. Trolls.
Everyone else gets bored. The game desperately needs some diversity in its weapons (hella simple; pistol, deployable MG with bulletproof shield, submachine gun) to give players some viable combat role besides lone wolf sniper.

I sorta disagree. I think the true winners in the basic map, if each team was perfectly competent, would be the greens.
After all, everything the blues can do, the greens can do as well only without tunnels coming up from under them.

Building bunkers can be okay for some. But not for me.

Just case he is a builder does not mean he is not good at shooting.

["HUMOR" REDACTED]
At any rate, on a more serious note. That was really literally the first time I have ever tried to defend a trench on purpose. And I can sorta see where you are coming from with the new weapons. Cause so long as head shots are so easy and deadly, anything other then snipers are useless and trench warfare is not possible.
So I was thinking two things. Although I do not know how they would be added.
1) Some Sort of trench gun. Deadly at close range, almost useless past it.
2) A med kit (Limited charges?) That in addition to healing normal wounds, if used quickly can bring a man back from the dead.
3) Spinfusers.
I think with one and two (Okay yeah, maybe a smaller map option as well) trench warfare would happen and be great.
Post by: jester on May 16, 2011, 12:12:37 pm
Also, I was thinking halfblocks (al la minecraft) and 2x, 5x, and 10x strength blocks would make bunkers a bit more viable, but yah, at this stage having what is basically a sniper rifle on the back of every digger makes them hard to work seriously on. Maybe something that trades ammo for a health refill, you can keep killing or you can live, but you cant do both

Where periods are the bottom line of the firing range. If you get what I'm saying. Something like aiming down the sights of the rifle, but forward a bit so you don't hit the corners of whatever thrice-damned block it's on.

Thinking about it id say that the accuracy of the rifle will probably have to be dropped to make other weps work well, at the end of the day, 100% accurate semi auto rifle with a 1 shot kill is fairly damn powerful, not much is going to be able to touch it without also being so powerful it just isnt fun.
Some options I see are: remove the headshots and then probably change rifle from 4-5 shot kill to 2-3,
Loose the 100% accurate deal, wouldnt need to be much less accurate to make bunkers ALOT more useful
Both options would leave open room for a sniper rifle with less ammo or whatever that would keep the point and click adventurers happy
Post by: Rumrusher on May 16, 2011, 10:35:03 pm
One of the best games ive ever played of AOS was on the city map with only 6 people on, nobody was digging in, it was all about sneaking about crouched and trying to hunt people down by sound, lots of fun.mortars would be the next weapon that allows cover of bunkers then tanks then walkers we can only go up in sear destructable raw power. Screw balance the only balance is how could we make better powerful weapons than the crazy recoil sniper.

a SMG that does so much block damage(due to the rate it spits bullets) you could use it as a drill, the large ammo for it will be drain for trying to dig through to enemy lines but great for removing structures in a quick pace with out having to worry about losing defense.
Mech suit made from special blocks only received from grabbing the intel once built you or a couple of buddies can ride in it and rain hell on your foes.
flame thrower just flame thrower spits fire which will cause the tile that was hit to burn way make the flames infinite and boom new way to destroy the enemy.
the fact that all these weapons make destroying bunkers and forts Super easy would hopefully cause players to feel Jaded over the destruction of their stuff and focus on grabbing the enemy intel.

SMG would take 10 hits to destroy block.
Sniper rifle should be like current rifle, but with less ammo and firing slower.
Regular rifle should fire as fast as now, same ammo, but less accurate and no iron sights.
MG should be even less accurate, take time to set up, always in iron sights, and if it overheats it's desroyed, no cooldown(I know, totally griefable)

Medic backpacks let you heal yourself and teammates.
Ammo backpacks increase your ammo load and let you resupply teammates.
Shield backpacks serve as the deployable steel mount for other weapons. You can interact with it then fire any long arm with impunity from snipers. Can be destroyed by explosives or just bypassed by clever players.
Mortar backpacks let you set up a mortar, which is then aimed through elevation, power and bearing adjustments, ala Scorched Earth. Bring a spotter buddy with an ammo pack.
Tent backpacks give friendlies who die nearby the option to respawn at the tent. It also slowly heals and resupplies nearby players.
The engineer backpack lets you place concrete, which is only destroyable by picks and the...
Demo backpack, which can be placed then detonates on a ten second fuse unless the opposing team picks it up... and runs away screaming to save their precious bunker.
Tie this in with a simple slot-based weapon/inventory system and you have a digging-oriented version of Tribes.
Post by: Yoink on May 17, 2011, 01:34:33 am
And I like the idea of reducing rifle accuracy and damage a little as mentioned earlier.
It's a bit annoying building a base with battlements and gun ports, only to be more vulnerable than the dude standing on a hill a mile away shooting at you. :/
Post by: Man of Paper on May 17, 2011, 07:39:55 am
That being said, I would like a Tribes-like equipment set up. Have a primary weapon, secondary, grenades, tools, and backpack slots that can be adjusted to fit the player's preferences. Nikov, your pack list seems badass. The only one that seems a bit iffy is the Shield pack, but I can't think of a good reason why not to have it.

Today I had an awesome time camping our flag when it was almost to the enemy base. A guy who was one of the best shots on the server was carrying it through what was normally friendly green territory, except for me, the lone blue camping that area. Moving from one hidden sniping post to another, I managed to kill him about 10 times as he tried to get the flag and flush me out, until he actually left the server. NEVER underestimate the value of a very well disguised sniper post. You will get dozens of kills, and if built correctly, almost never die. I was using a small knoll in a grassy area overlooked by a hill. Got about 30 kills and they never figured out where the bullets were coming from, as even the inside room I was in was covered in the same material as the outside of the hill.

I love tunneling over to a spot where several enemies are concerned with building something, and popping out and picking them off. While they look for me, I'm busy running to my next spot. By the time I get there, they figure I've run off and keep building, allowing me to pick off another one... Great fun.

I'm still enjoying this, definitely one of the most captivating games this year. I eagerly wait to see how the development continues. I don't really have an opinion on the classes/loadouts question, but someone above invoked Scorched Earth and you can't go wrong with a bit of Scorched Earth in a game like this ;)

have any one tried the old porn wall trick?I typically set up an obvious bunker-thing as a decoy when doing a covert sniping-camp in enemy territory. And of course everyone makes use of the 'fake player' trick of green block, yellow block, green block (or blue if that's your team). The best distraction is something they will certainly see but which is disguised just enough to make them think they aren't supposed to see it.

Sorry for the double post but does anyone else use crenellation for anything else but decorations? I can't seem to find a good use for it as it blocks the view.
Crenelated walls leave one far too exposed and were invented when weapons have much shorter ranges. You basically want to expose only your weapons and eyes, and only to a very small area.

My favorite tactic is to build a network of caves in the mountains overlooking the green base, with 5 or 6 holes, then plug them up with green blocks. I'll pick one, open it, and start headshotting. If someone looks in my direction I'll plug the hole up and find a different one. I can get 20 or 30 kills on a good day doing this.I'm wondering how this works... Think the green detracts attention from existing holes like some sort of camouflage?

Well, my point still stands. I hate greifers.
Now you didn't get hit with the I'm building a straight path to the other side of our base to their base and so that I can place a large foot hold there.
The I'm going to frame someone for low non hazard griefing so the green team can sneak in and grab the intel and break their stuff.
Now those people can mess up a game if said people care enough about the intel or the objectives to this game.
That and AoS builders are the most fragile emotional players I ever seen playing this game next to the AoS shooter who thinks they can go MLG on this game.

You'd be pretty emotional too if someone broke down the wall shielding the base from Sniper fire for the Nth f***ing time.Having spent many years in DF dealing with building destroyers(well playing with a friendly one who walk around breaking stuff but that's not the point).
I came to peace with destructive players in a game with destructive tools wasting bullets on a team mate while the enemy walks in and does the job for you.
Now if you said a enemy broke down the wall you place up with their bullets. I would be a little emotional. the emotion would be fear.
Random team mate breaking down a tower that could be used as a enemy hide out nah. The life way to short to be whining over a building that is easy to build as it is to remove. Blocking the vision on the base is giving more cover for the enemy to sneak around in. I under stand if it's to the back where it won't block view and give the enemy one spot of protection.

intel towers only work if you got the man power(and prep for underground attacks) to defend it and that part is situational.
through I don't get it life to short to get piss off at someone destroying something.
personally I blame notch for placing this mind set in people he clearly didn't take the motto of "losing is FUN" and now every one emotional over losing blocks.
though I guess it could be also there no challenge on building stuff on base where as building something on the enemy base could net some bragging rights for being stealthy about it.

But then, every spiderfort start with an intel tower, and every intel tower can be turned into a spiderfort. So shooting them down is pointless.This is where I notice I'm discussing tactics on saving a box that only shows every one on the map in means on saving a construction that won't be there after a map reset kicks in on a game.
This goes into the whole Losing is fun bit. Are we having fun once we start complaining over what any one does in this game? Shouldn't we just let those announce be and continue on with our game?

Well, shouldn't we left everyone enjoy the game in its on way, as long as it doesn't unnerve other people? Some people do have fun completing structures, and destroying for the pleasure of destroying is childish and spoil their fun.Who to say building complete structures isn't childish on it's own and spoil the fun of the one who would like to play this as a shooter.
I'm neutral neither a fan of capping the intel or a fan of straight building and find breaking buildings some kind of weird way someone plays and not an annoyance.
though most of the time builders would just build something and leave it to go on to build something else I wonder how is it spoiling their fun when the fun was creating it I understand if the person was working on a tall tower and half way into it was being attacked
Post by: Sheb on May 28, 2011, 10:02:33 am
Simply put, building stuff* create place that are worth fighting for, or protection and thus opportunity for FUN. Destorying your team building does nothing except pissing off the guys that built it and a loud crack.
*Of course, some randome dots or a big swastika doesn't apply. I'm thinking about building that are either functionnal, worth fighting for, or offensive to the other team.

As long as your method of fun doesn't negatively impact anyone else (Outside of the terms set by game play), I'm fine with it. If the game were a free-for-all, though, then there wouldn't be any griefing - There would be the challenge of defending a structure from everybody else. On a team game, though, it's stupid to be knocking over your "friend's" stuff.
I let people build, I build, but I usually build with the intent to destroy stuff. If you want to build mansions with statues and paint pictures, I'm fine with that. You make a great distraction when the enemy comes in and needs something to shoot at.

Saying someone has a right to something because they have the ability to do something doesn't mean that they have the right. Just because someone enjoys walking around knocking over mailboxes doesn't mean that they should, and the fact they're having fun doesn't justify the action any more.when the cannon fodder whines would we listen? I'm fine with building and building with the intent just throwing out their that people tend to go off about the little things like this and disrupt entire team. to many hot heads not enough people to go with the flow.

Sub-machine guns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergmann_MP18) were used in WWI, but the weapon that he showed in the video looks more like a modern sub-machine gun to me. I worried that he's moving from the WWI aesthetic that drew me into Ace of Spades, though I'll probably still play it even if it gets closer in design to WWII.
Thoughts?

Post by: Catastrophic lolcats on July 02, 2011, 06:04:46 am
1) First off we've got the game's name and icon, Ace of Spades which are of course a reference to the Vietnam War.
We've also got tunneling and some gurillia warefare (blue team)
2) We've got trench warfare, clear battle lines and scopeless rifles which have WW1 all over it.
3) We've got gun models which people claim are based off WW2 weapons.
4) We've got statements of Ben (the developer) considering adding vechicles such as helicopters and boats.
5) Rumours of a submachine gun coming in the next patch (not WW1).
6) The weapons are stated to be a place holders.
7) Lack of tanks (although this has more to do with the engine than historical accuracy, it's pretty hard to base a game in WW2 without tanks)
8) Who the fuck cares?
Conculsion: Pick which ever damn war you want it to be. All of them involve you butchering your fellow man.
However the "evidence" points that this is a fictional war. Pretend it's Blue's War of Independence or Green's U.N. Backed Toppling of Blue Dictatorship.
Personally I like to think it's alternate history of the Anglo-Scottish war, where Karl Marx and Sir Arthur Wellesley went back in time to over throw the alien peacekeepers who are impossing harsh trade embargos on the modern world.

It's a little like saying cannons were used in the Hundred Years War even though there were really only one battle where they were effective.
That said it doesn't matter, it's a totally fictional war the game is based in. Which is better in my eyes, if I play another game about WW2 I think I'll neck myself.

And we had a small trench system leading up to it, and our intel had been taken to a part of it
Me and a guy had managed to dig in to the side of the mountain, and protect the intel with no possibility of the blues firing on us unless they turned around.
We discovered 2 tunnels leading off into the blue area, and we sealed them off.
While we were exploring this, the intel was taken, as we had forgotten to leave someone to keep watch.
A blue finally realized we were there, and managed to kill both of us.

From the anti-minecraft and anti-CoD mindset in-game I steer clear from the forums for fear of reading the constant whining of some items or tactics.
which brings me to this one point.
We have to many whining babies in this game that drama all over the place.
We need a single player with bot support so people who want to play the game one way can just play the game one way on their own.
seems like a nice solution the builders can minecraft, the guys who want to see others flip out over little things be out of a job given all the builders are playing Single player and not taking out sections of the map to build a castle, and the rest of the community can still hitler up the place. also is this game originally based around ww1 or was that a rumor?

From looking at the AoS forums (not for very long, obviously), it seems that many of the votes for the sniper rifle don't actually count. Someone (in the Southwest US, I believe) hacked the voting server to cast a large number of votes for the sniper rifle. Mind you, the second most popular weapon (the shotgun) seems just a silly to me as the sniper rifle.

Post by: Catastrophic lolcats on July 28, 2011, 12:41:05 am
Also that poll is rigged, apparently some idiots have been voting through proxies for the sniper rifle. I honestly don't see the point of a sniper rifle. Rarely have I seen a game where snipers have any balance. They're either shit or the whole server is playing as one.
Plus the semi-auto rifle was working fine as a long range weapon. Why add more to that?
The next choice on the list is a shotgun. Don't really see the point of a shot gun, it will just force everyone to go long range in fear of getting a shotgun blast in the face.
The smg is a bit underpowered in open conflict, as it's meant to be. It's main use seems to be rushing through trenches or through maze tunnels, something that a shotgun/trenchgun might completely cock up.
I voted for a machine gun personally. Something that you have to move, set up and stay set up. That would allow people to lock down areas while still being killable. Might put a bigger importance on tunnels, that since the auto-climb made an apperance seem to be losing populaity.

Is the shot gun any good?It's the tracer less gun good for doing raids or some what stealth killing folks from mid to close mid range if no one had spotted you which means groups of 5 people can be pot shot and won't know where the guy is. it's a terribly powerful gun for ambushers and make people question the SMG.
Though I usually just use the rifle and Pick axe for my battles.

Shotguns's and Smg's are good for raids.

medics can heal others and build with the pickaxe
and
assassins can cloak if they pull out their grenade for 15 seconds.
Now it's really infiniminer with guns.
For those that never play that, Team fortress classic meets destructive terrain.

What are people's thoughts on the shotgun, out of interest?
Personally, I think that it adds a nice bit a variety to the game, but it seems that whatever situation you're in, one of the other weapons could do it better...
i personally use shotgun when bunker charging. first slowly creep to the bunker, then, get tho the entrance BOOM! BOOM! dead snipers :D
every weapon has a role. the shotgun is best suited for trench/bunker clearing, SMG is machinegun support, and flatlands cleaning, rifle is sniper duty. (and for me turns the game into a Vasili Zaitsev sim)

Who else thinks the SMG is overpowered? I don't want it removed or anything, it adds some variety to the game. It just needs a nerf. Less damage/accuracy at long range?If it is overpowered, I don't think it is by much, if the damage would be brought to the point where it would take at least 4 hits as opposed to three I'd be fine with that, but as it stands I don't believe it deserves a major nerf, if it did, the rifle with its somewhat reliable 1 shot kills would trump it in the mid range, where it is supposed to be strongest.

Didn't record it at all; was in version.30 something. Notch wasn't the target, he just happened to join the game. Strange thing is he didn't react at all to all the madness happening around him.
I like this game and all, but god damn every server I've seen runs the same 4 maps and all of them are boring as hell
Agreed. there are a lot of maps that have been made, people just like playing the same maps over and over again. Hallway is fun, but it gets boring after a while.

I'm quite certain there's a pattern to the spread, which made it rather easy to snipe with it last night, getting me a good ~20 kill streak.

usually goon haven, or jest servers, i also can't stand hallway. (it was fun the first 20 times, but now it's boring)Same goes for Pinpoint or Bridge Wars, which have the additional problem of having been designed for earlier versions before the SMG's lethality was increased,* and the match ends up turning into a glorified of Time Crisis with do-it-yourself cover. You hardly ever see any of the genuinely interesting maps like Normandie or Favela now. Or the default map for that matter, though that has its own problems.
* Too much so, in my opinion. I was all for making its damage a bit less anaemic, but with the recoil dialled down as well it performs more like a Bren Gun than an MP5.

I try to explain in chat what's happening, but they apperantly can't read and take out their hissy fit of stupidity on me. The game itself is fun, but the community ruins any fun to be had.Still better then Happy Wheels.

Idea's from 'nam, but the guns are from different eras. The rifle's a WWI semi-automatic German rifle, the SMG is clearly a Heckler und Koch MP5...I think you mean WWII, but given that it's commonplace for players to have their own custom weapon skin it's somewhat academic. I suppose the time period really depends what map you're playing.

I am in love with the shotgun, folks seem to say it sucks, but it seems quite effective when you aren't giving away your position every 10 seconds with random gunfire and are actually making a token attempt at moving from cover to cover. Especially when those rifle users on the other side can't hit an evading target to save their lives. In the game Reudh was talking about I must have gotten shotgun kills against rifle users in open terrain 20 times because they just couldn't predict my movements while I closed the distance on them. And it's not like I was doing anything fancy either, just textbook sniper evasion zigzazzing.

...in the community.
There was a new headshot mechanic, and bcoolface decided to make the fucking SMG headshot as well as the rifle! on the plus side? It is a little bit slower now and the clip is smaller.
Yes, that was the sound of anyone who doesn't even know about balance laugh at bcoolface for not knowing shit about balance. The rifle spread was decreased so it's now the one hit kill mid and long range weapon, but why have 5 snipers when you can have 5 people Headshot spamming down the map so fast nothing matters.
bcoolface, give the code to somebody competant, like the hackers who now have scripts to hide their names and auto-cancel votekicks.
Post by: Reudh on January 04, 2012, 01:28:03 am
Ideally, the SMG should be unable to headshot as it's just too good. Even with a trackpad I can go on a rampage with a SMG.
The Rifle is awful except if you headshot. It should ONLY be a long range weapon.
The shotgun should be returned to what it used to be; a shitty weapon at anywhere but close range, where it's a near instant kill.

32v32 is in, just look at the server list- I've been enjoying it these past few days. A few notes about balance- I find all the weapons are equal in their domain, with all three tying at close range in tunnels, though that's my opinion. I'm not sure I've seen any bay12ers on, but I might not have recognized your IGNs. (Mine is +Doomblade187) So, who still plays?
I'm still only seeing 32 player servers, no 64 player ones.

I've found that about half of the times people think someone has an aimbot, it's just differences in ping.This, so much. In pretty much every FPS I've ever played, something like 80% of the accusations of aimbotting were caused by ping differences, people new to the server being killed by insanely good regulars, and good old fashioned raeg. And the ones that actually were aimbotting were absurdly easy to notice.

True.

It gets ridiculously hectic when you get within a few blocks of the intel and an opposing team member manages to take out your ladder (a huge base for the ladder is worthwhile) and everyone falls to their doom.

Ideally, put a block diagonal from where your sniper roost is and where the enemy is. If they can't see you shooting directly, you're probably sufficiently well hidden.
Post by: thobal on October 27, 2012, 11:04:56 am
Ideally, you want to be able to move from visible to invisible as quickly as possible, and to stand back from your firing port as that you are visible only by enemies directly in front of you. Then, as you move around your wide bunker, you can firing across a much wider arc than you can be seen from.
It's basic stuff like this that most players totally fail to grasp.
Post by: miauw62 on October 27, 2012, 11:09:02 am
Most of the so called "bunkers" and "trenches" I see in this game are crap. Plus, when ever I build a nice, shot-trapped, bunker, some idiot on my team runs in, races right past me because he doesn't see anyone standing directly in front of the window and blocks my view. And given that I try to put the shot-traps on the inside and the outside, and always use double or triple walls, they usually last a while.Like most games.

You'll be able to always take the enemy by surprise and if anyone comes down to flush you out they have to fight you on your home turf. I once had this nice little maze set up with lots of dead ends which allowed me to demolish any fools who attempted to find me, the game really needs more traps though. :P
I rarely use defensive structures in the game and rather rely on tunnels and holes. The best defence is a good ambush.

Poorly done assault rifles is often the main cause of spammy attacks in shooters. Assault rifles can fill a great many roles and can be up-to par or even better then the dedicated weapons that's meant to fill it's niche. You'll find that a lot of the games that are prised for their skill and tactics often have little to no assault rifles or that the assault rifle fills it's own little niche and doesn't overlay other dedicated weapons.
I don't think I'll ever fully understand the modern shooter craze. On a mechanical level pretty much everything is wrong with them, yet their popularity is unquestionable. I would like to read a full study trying to pin-point exactly why the modern shooter has taken the throne as king of FPS.

-snip-So, would AoS be a good example of this, or a bad example?
I find myself using rifle usually, because I was around when there was only the rifle, and I have grown fond of it.
When I do use the machine gun (or have it used against me) it is mostly for Mid-range fighting, cover to cover.
The shotgun blasts you apart up close, and can blow through cover.
The Rifle can win in a fight at long range, if you get near enough to them for a fair fight.
So I think the Machine gun fits it's medium range role quite well.
Post by: Catastrophic lolcats on October 28, 2012, 04:26:31 am
Shotguns seem to favour clearing out narrow windy tunnels and defensive play. SMG are great for both defensive and offensive trench battles as well as storming. The rifle is still the main weapon of AoS but due to it's weakness at close range the rifle assumes a standard sniping/ambush role as well as a rather mediocre jack of all trades.
Post by: Jake on October 28, 2012, 05:32:05 am
AoS does seem to have decent balance across the board for all the weapons and although the SMG and Shotgun are more situational than the rifle they still have a very solid niche as you've mentioned. The SMG and Shotgun do get some more use in custom maps with lots of cover. Those city maps in particular.I don't find the SMG situational at all, personally; its effective range is about three quarters of the rifle's, and if fired in short bursts it's very nearly as accurate. It behaves more like a Bren gun than the MP5 it's skinned as.

Step 3 Open this (http://www.kloth.net/services/iplocate.php) page. In the box after "IP Address:" type the four numbers of the IP address from Step 1, but in reverse order. For example, if the server's ip was '123.45.67.89', you would type them in as '89.67.45.123'.
Step 4 Select 'Dotted Quad', press 'Go' and copy the text from the second box, labeled 'IP decimal'.
Step 5 Paste the address into your web browser's url bar. Replace 'HTTP' with 'aos' and then press enter.
This address only works for computers on your home network. To get one that will work for someone outside your network, get your IP address from a site such as whatismyip.com. Follow the steps above to convert it.
Replace Step one with my IP. Although why AoS can't just use normal unreversed ips idk.

So I think the Machine gun fits it's medium range role quite well.
The SMG is great for scaring people, but on modestly large maps its not terribly effective because unlike the rifle, everyone and his dog knows where you are after you fire it off, so you become a gigantic target for people with rifles. Good on mid sized maps, though.
The shotty is a troll weapon. It's most effective for griefing people's buildings, taking completely wild shots at a target ("Shotty sniping") or tunneling really fast. The number of situations in which a shotgun is legitimately superior to an SMG or rifle are few, and are basically variations of "You run down a tunnel and see a guy, so you shoot him in the face".
The rifle is actually useful for sniping (since people won't necessarily know where you are if you hit them on the first shot), and can do close range too if you're fast enough. Really, unless you're part of an organized group and are trying to be a distraction, or you need to build very quickly, the rifle is the only weapon you need most of the time.

My favored weapon is the rifle however, since it facilitates my play style best. I sometimes run with a buddy who plays more shotgun, and he sweeps any infiltrators out of my tunnel system. Though that tends not to be necessary, as my tunnels wind and intertwine so much that it's easy to get lost, especially as sometimes I'll flip a layout of one level a few z-levels above it, creating lulz if I get killed. Mostly because I always come up behind said people.

After looking around on here a few nights ago, reading about all your tunneling strategies and bunker tricks, I overhauled my strategy and just dominated the map like a gopher commando. There's something so deeply satisfying about hunkering down in your super-secret tunnel while battle rages above you, unbeknownst to anyone, fine-tuning the layout of your labrynth, and preparing for that halcyon moment when you pop out from nowhere in the middle of the enemy base and steal their precious intel.
It does limit the kinds of maps you can play on, but since this game really is about environment modification and not FPS brain-candy, that's alright by me.

I'm not really sure what you guys with the ridiculous tunnel systems actually do. I'm good at placing windows and rabbitholes if the surface is hideously deformed or hilly (and sometimes when flat, depending on whether or not other people are paying attention) but I don't have the tunnel system (and defense thereof) down, possibly because I rarely have to bother. Tunnel (and trench) network examples of any kind would be immensely helpful.
Post by: Reudh on October 31, 2012, 01:38:00 am
I love having a tunnel network in a hill. Four pronged, defended by three or four players. All using rifles. If you've got a mountain that is large enough to have a four way tunnel in it at diagonal angles to the angle the opposition attack from, it's SO easily defended and frankly rather hard to hit. There's also the way of making a foxhole jut out so you have maximum range of vision while still being hard to hit, simply moving backwards rendering you safe.

By diagonal, you mean the regular nooks and crannies formed by a diagonal line provide cover when facing intruders? I never thought of that, but I like it.

I mean, mostly I just go for the intel. One long standing-height corridor as a main artery about halfway to the enemy territory, and then where possible divert into a few op corridors at two-block height for quick tunnelling. Always cover your tracks well, or else an inquisitive enemy may trace them back to the main vein and exploit it. I try to remember my layout but i use colored blocks as markers when I begin to confuse myself.
Right before I pop out for the attack I always block in my immediate tracks so anyone jumping into my foxhole wont find the real Source.

If you've got a mountain that is large enough to have a four way tunnel in it at diagonal angles to the angle the opposition attack from, it's SO easily defended and frankly rather hard to hit. There's also the way of making a foxhole jut out so you have maximum range of vision while still being hard to hit, simply moving backwards rendering you safe.
By diagonal, you mean the regular nooks and crannies formed by a diagonal line provide cover when facing intruders? I never thought of that, but I like it.I'm not really sure what you guys with the ridiculous tunnel systems actually do. I'm good at placing windows and rabbitholes if the surface is hideously deformed or hilly (and sometimes when flat, depending on whether or not other people are paying attention) but I don't have the tunnel system (and defense thereof) down, possibly because I rarely have to bother. Tunnel (and trench) network examples of any kind would be immensely helpful.
I mean, mostly I just go for the intel. One long standing-height corridor as a main artery about halfway to the enemy territory, and then where possible divert into a few op corridors at two-block height for quick tunnelling. Always cover your tracks well, or else an inquisitive enemy may trace them back to the main vein and exploit it. I try to remember my layout but i use colored blocks as markers when I begin to confuse myself.
Right before I pop out for the attack I always block in my immediate tracks so anyone jumping into my foxhole wont find the real Source.
Seamas, that's what I mean. Your hitbox is partially hidden at all times if you're in a diagonal tunnel. Of course it makes movement difficult for you.

Post by: Man of Paper on October 31, 2012, 10:48:37 am
And I was just on the AoS forum for the first time ever. They were adding in mounted MGs and RPGs for people who would pay, from what I gathered? Christ, if they were going to do that, then Jagex is going to have a god damned field day with it. My first thoughts were the game was going to remain free with open content and accepting donations or whatnot, maybe give a little treat for the donators (something like Toady does), maybe in the form of unique skins or something. But weaponry? That's a bit much to do in a game about weapons. Especially when they'd be as OP as an RPG or MMG. But now that I hear Jagex is taking the helm, well, I just lost all hope in any balance between people who do and do not give money.
tl;dr I hate everything Jagex does, and getting game-changing goods for cash is poor practice in my opinion. Last thing I want is a 13 year old with mommy's credit card to be blowing holes in my mountain.
Oh well, if anything I guess it'd make my tunnel rat strategy a few dozen times more legitimate and important. Until they just spam rockets and shit.
Though all of what I just ranted on may be misinformation, I read the stuff once but my vision was clouded by cataracts formed of pure malice.

The new one is shorter than the first. They removed the most of the talk about Jagex, specifically the part that it was a Jagex project all along (Now it's that Jagex is the publisher).
Are you thinking of the article someone else had posted here? This looks exactly the same as the RPS article I read yesterday. Looking at the comments, they just published it a day early by accident, no other changes seem to be made.
RPS aren't really in to censoring themselves.
Post by: USEC_OFFICER on November 01, 2012, 10:57:44 am
hang on, are they making these 16-player only, or is that just them using it as an example?

Unless I'm reading the article wrong, it'll be 32 players to a server.

So all the MMG's, RPG's, OpenGL branch will be in Ace of Spades v. 1.0 and it is confirmed content to be paid for.
Unless the whole thing must be paid for, then those who pay are getting two very powerful weapons. However, that statement, I feel, implies that it is specifically that content that will be paid for.

And there is a perfect example of what I would messily term "pay to gain minor advantage". Having a moderately OP weapon doesn't equate to autowin in the same way that real money in, say, Evony does. Or more appropriately, the differences between a top-tier f2p and top-tier p2p character in Runescape. There are things that help a bit if you buy them, and there are things that let you automatically roll over everyone who doesn't pay if you have them. Having a MMG or RPG launcher doesn't mean you won't die just as easily from a rifle round to the head. Granted, I don't like them, but they aren't gamebreaking in the way that P2W things tend to be.

Are the nostalgia filters on or off for that picture, because I remember the old game begin exactly like that, and I'm not saying it in a good way.
Nope, that's the way the community rolled back in the days (I wasn't posting in this topic since I stopped playing AoS a while ago, but I've been playing since notch's tweet about it, so quite a while). But actually, the whole deal with Green = "Go play Minecraft"/"Aspie"/etc., giant swastikas and so on... yeah, I remember it all.
I guess that was an evolution of sorts, from bashing MC players->bashing CoD players->slow buildup of decent community... cue Jagex stepping in and ruining regulars' shit. Well, I guess the next step in evolution is bashing Jagex' fanboys, though I feel this particular one is justified (and/or I'm a grumpy old bastard now).
For all the stupidity of ye olden days, the de facto hijack is a sad, sad day for me. Although I must say, the game had signs of disease going on for a while, I hoped it will turn out right. Now? Adieu Ace of Spades, we hardly knew ye.
But to end on a more cheery note: eventually, some disgruntled Deuce with coding skills may make an actual voxel-WWI style FPS for us to enjoy, hopefully with a nice Kickstart to avert the scenario that happened to AoS.

I gotta admit, I stopped playing this game after they introduced autoclimb. That was around the time the amount of forts bunkers and defenses built started to decline. I understand how annoying pressing space constantly was, but once climbing up a mountain required no jumping at all, fortifying the flatter, easier paths just stopped making sense
Post by: Jake on November 05, 2012, 02:13:50 pm
Wait this game is still around?I came in after that was introduced, but you might be interested to know that this change was partially undone a while back; auto-climb is disabled when holding down the sprint key, so it's worth defending the flatter parts but you can still be outflanked.

Frankly, Jagex being Jagex, I went ahead and gave up on AoS as soon as they officially took over, because it's inevitable that they'll shit it up like they did to Runescape after the Gower brothers left. I've had nothing but bad experiences from them, and the point where the LMG and RPG (the main sources of bitching about imbalance and PTW) were introduced is where they had an official hand in development. If AoS is still going strong and is as fun a year or two from now as it was in earlier versions, I'll eat all of my hats.
Same here basically, except that I have no personal experience of Jagex, it's just everywhere I see their name mentioned it's followed by some variant of "gigantic bastards". Mostly ptw for reports of actual gameplay, to see if I can actually return to this.

Seems pretty cool, I was mostly upset about it being a FTP game with purchasable rocket launchers, but that's not a thing.
Either Jagex heard the fan outlash, or someone was spreading nasty rumors.
Either way, that seems to not be the case(obviously it is not FTP). If one of the Bay12ers say it's any good I'll probably purchase it at some point.
Also, saying Jagex will ruin AoS like it did Runescape is kinda silly, since AoS is purchasable and doesn't have a crappy FTP model like Runescape. That and bots are the two big problems with Runescape as I can see, and both should be a non-issue if there is some kind of cheat protection in the server software.

I was talking with some people a few months ago about AoS, and we all pretty much agreed that it was a nice game, but not good enough to sell. It's just... kind of simple. Not bad, just not with enough content to really warrant release.Pretty much this. This is the kind of game you would sell for anywehre between 2 and 5 euros, if you would sell it at all. I wonder how long it will take for someone to restart AoS, only better.

When you are in a server you see 20 people with 150 ping, and 2 people with 50 ping... what the hell are they doing?

I simply can't get below 150 ping in this game, which makes it unplayable.Probably hosts/friends that live near them/lucky people.

Frankly, I'm also worried about Jagex killing any sort of creative development of it. I loved playing on the Tribes-style servers that gave you jetpacks.
I was playing on the Minnit Test Drive server the other day and they had a winter wonderland version of the normal Goon Assault map, with a layer of snow, snow covered trees and randomly dropped red block "presents form santa" that could contain either three grenades minus their pins, nothing, a full restock, a grenade fountain spawned at that point, death, invisibility, or 30 seconds of flight. Also, the trees, although appearing strudy from the outside, were actually held up by single block thick "trunks". It was great.
Conversely, playing babel just now I heard many people complaining that the 1.00 maps are all the size of CoD maps. Bleh.

Don't the game have a whole class dedicated to jetpacking around now?
Yep, and now it is pointless to do anything other but go all tribes on the flag.

AoS used to be a great game. I'm not going to play it again.

Also....Do structures still collapse? If you make a tower then shoot out the bottom, does it fall down?

Why the hate guys? Have you read any reviews or played it and not liked it? (Not a rhetorical question)
I bought it and regret it.
I haven't yet found a server with less than 150 ping, which is unplayable in this game.

I dunno. If there is a time limit at all I think that is a bad idea. I recall the best memories of the first ace of spades was like on servers that have been running for at least a few hours. Because THAT is when the maps get interesting.
Post by: Absolute Niro on January 10, 2013, 02:25:04 am
I too played the original Ace of Spades and had a lot of fun with it, although it was pretty laggy on most servers and the client was horrible. Jagex doesn't honestly have a history of being great developers, especially with the addition of microtransactions that basically ruined the last bit of fun to be had in Runescape.

Well, I like how all of his complain are basically all the things Jagex added over the old AoS.Don't fix what isn't broken, I guess. The whole class thing does feel really gimmicky.
