DIK_Rage Posted June 5, 2001 Author Share Posted June 5, 2001 the community is what its all about, playing on servers with random people, or even playing on 1 server consistantly with a few "regulars" is lame, it gets old. on zone its ONE community, mostly everybody who plays the game plays it there, its 100x better than any other type multiplayer community out there. besides I'm sure zone will keep with the times and make it go up to more than 4players, but even so, I don't want a lame ass 32 player game, if the levels/maps are big I'll be happy with 6 to 8.

Kwup Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 I guess it does depend on how the game sells. The reason the MotS community was so tight is because for 2 years there have never really been over 140 or so people at peak times. In tribes 2 there are what? 60,000? If the game is as popular as Tribes 2 then the zone may not even be able to support JK2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReAcToR Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 the community is what its all about The community is only part of what it is all about. People should be able to play where they want. If you want to play on the Zone, you should have that option. If I want to play on Gamespy and chat in #JediKnight, I should have that option. its 100x better than any other type multiplayer community out there. There are alot of people that would dispute that. Considering that the majority of gamers don't play Jedi Knight, I would guess that the majority of people would dispute that. Myself, I've always been more impressed by the EverQuest community. I find that 99% of the Zoners are just 12 year olds who do nothing but flood and download cogs. I play in private games usually, to avoide the common trash. I don't want a lame ass 32 player game What is so lame about having 32 people involved in some hardcore gaming all at the same time, all on one server? I think it makes for an interesting situation. if the levels/maps are big I'll be happy with 6 to 8. That's fine, but realize that alot of people want more than 6-8 players. I for one would be dissapointed if the game didn't allow 5v5 and 2 scectators to record demo's for teamplay modes. Giving the server-owners the ability to change the number of players to as few or as many as they want, seems like a good idea to me. Having less than 32 players, is simply going back in time.

COWB0Y Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 haha preach on brother rage, whats the fun in online gaming if you dont get to know the people you are gaming with... and if you don't know the people you are gaming with that takes all the fun out of talking trash.

Kwup Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 /me thinks DIK is just afraid that another clan will come along and own them in JK2. OK, so maybe I'm abit jealous, but it seems that there are like 2 active DIK's btw. I saw NiCo in #tsn on irc.dynamix.com I wonder what it feels like for him to not be the premier gamer in the chat room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewfus Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 Here is my problem with the zone. every time i visit there, i see the same tourettes cases in the rooms cussing people out and generally trolling. one time, 2 guys were posting links, saying they were to a new fan made level, but were actually links to a gay porn picture with infinate pop ups. now, i like jokes as well as the next guy, but i have a 11 year old brother that likes to play jedi knight too. and i DO NOT want him seeing such crap. hell, im 26 and I DONT want to see that kind of crap!! maybe with dedicated servers, people who do that kind of crap will be perminately banned. great incentive to not pull that kind of garbage. i like the idea of more control in banning people from the server for gross misconduct. i dont mean for small things, like heated arguments.. i mean, stuff happens, but when people blatently breaking major rules like i mentioned above. chat blocks.. im all for. my hope is for jediknight 2 servers to be places for only jediknight 2 related stuff, and people will be at least civil out of fear of eternal banishment to the zone.. thats enough incentive for me to be nice!!!!!!

DIK_Rage Posted June 5, 2001 Author Share Posted June 5, 2001 Reactor, basically, what you are saying is, you want to play quake with a saber. screwwwwwwww that, I hope to hell that JK2 doesn't become as popular as tribse 2. like Kwup said, in mots, when it was at its peak, we had 100+ people, the community was tight, anybody who was anybody knew who each other was, if you were enemies or friends, whatever. and the 32 player game bs goes back to the "quake with a saber" deal, I'm sorry but if I wanna be fighting against 31 people at once maybe I'll think about playing quake 3 or UT. but both them games SUCK ass. and kwup, who are you? and I frequent irc.dynamix.com #TsN, I'm there everyday. as for you wilhuf, [no no, that just won't do - Jeff'W] In my opinion, the idea of JK2 being based on the Q3 engine is totally lame, and a HUGE disappointment, I'm remaining skeptical as to whether or not the game will be good, though. but all these characteristics are from quake, which is pretty much why I don't like any of em, the zone issue is another one, probably to me the biggest issue. oops I rambled, oh well.

Wilhuf Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 Rage you should have warned the jkii.net staff that my input was not wanted before they made me a forum moderator.

ed_silvergun Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 Stuff like that is not tolerable round here, Rage. Nobody's opinion is "not wanted".

DIK_Rage Posted June 6, 2001 Author Share Posted June 6, 2001 oh I forgot to mention, and ya ya I know nobody will care or believe it since it's coming from somebody's who is on their way to being banned... FYI: wilhuf stalked some girl on the zone, for what a year or two? used to write her long ass love letters keep bothering her and wouldn't leave her alone, she used to argue with him to leave her alone and he'd keep bothering her and bothering her and wouldn't stop. unfortunately the girl herself wasn't too bright or sane, so she never took any actions on it. so theres your "respectable" wilhuf mr. big moderator.

COWB0Y Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 /me thinks you need to play NiCo at Tribes before you decide he isn't the premier gamer in the room.
