  1. I uninstalled after the 2nd week. It became heavily reliant on the AH, in D2 or Diablo Clones have loot thats actually useable in towns and drops. 80% of the drops in d3 where like "Oh hey a new sword for my Bar-bar.....150int....Thanks.." And it happen A LOT. At least in clones (didnt play much D2) they dont have weird stat mods on weapons.
  2. http://www.eurogamer...not-rolled-back http://wow.joystiq.c...tion-houses-sh/ Sure, some patches generate bugs, but this is by far the worst. Diablo 3 was mainly Online DRM to PREVENT this thing, it sure happened with the Real Money Auction House that they had to take down the AH Servers. SInce I have never used the RMAH on Diablo 3, not rolling it back sounds sketchy. I sure hope no one still plays this.
  3. Server Maintenance, Usually Valve games are able to stay up since...well they probably n a separate server cluster. Not once have I ever been booted from a Valve Game Server when theyve doin maintenance, but other games that use Steamworks....do. Makes sense for Valve to do this anyways since a lot of their games are usually most played. When Steam Friends goes down since...uhh 2011? Whenever Dungeon Defenders came out, I'd go here. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=34382197&postcount=585

      Ya you're close! I hike that mountain here and there! I was just at the ASU graduation tonight. You may have heard the fireworks.

       

  5. I would only find this acceptable if Admins themselves made a custom vote (which they can last time I checked). If not some Admins need a stern talking to. I last played on the server, was around the time Tirtul first became admin, and every admin (excluding mastro and cake, since I only saw them once) made custom votes for almost everything. If the majority vote failed and they still did this, I would find it unfavorable. If they did this without custom voting, I would have just left as I would have seen it as a big waste of my time I had invested into the server. Came to play a game not watch people do whatever they want to extended time/blow off some steam, because the match was "unfair". TL;DR What Admins/Memebers/Players find fun, isn't what GC defines as fun. Guns are fun to use, why the heck do we have gun laws, thats no fun. The idea to base the game on points in a customized 10v10 is foreign to me, "Are you having fun? Yes>Continue playing, No>Leave". As far as I am concern people who look at points are doing this "Do you have more points? Yes>This fun, No>MY WHOLE TEAM SUCKS!" Also Admins use Custom Voting, as this creates a line if its griefing or not. I would have no problem if a majority vote was called and passed. P.S: Unknown to me if Jackie changed voting/removed it, but every time you cast a custom vote it says "voting successful" which doesnt mean everyone agreed, it mean everyone voted, look at the results.
  6. When specing as Infected its always orange, notice the gun and the pillars, this the second part of the subway, the bit before the stairs where you reach the underground of a warehouse/generator. There is no normal means to get up there, its the same as back when L4D1 was out and people abused the layout of maps to bypass a bunch of stuff, Valve sucks at this and just put invisible walls around everyone, or removed objects, or have sucky beta/QA testers (i.e they suck so bad that when porting lad1 maps, some of the existing exploitables still existed/exist). The only time I could see using exploitables as okay, is if youre doing single player speedruns or speedrunning with friends, not in a custom servers or regular vs servers.
  7. The best alternative I think, would have to complete overhaul of the send points, and make it a menu like the buy menu !pts Will bring up a menu with a list of the players on the current team. Since 0 is the last digit on the keyboard (not including the numpad) it would read 1~0 After clicking a name 1 Send 1 point 2. Send 5 points 3. Send 10 points 4. Send all points
  8. Shotguns are still lethal at a very long range. FPSRussia is NSFW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srd-QZXBfZI With the Army presence in L4D2, they should have had more specialty ammo for guns http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP4FjODPDFA
  9. I rarely play TF2, had it since the Orange Box and only have 108hours in it. The GC didnt populate well. Since its F2P it could be populated now, but get ready for the ban list. The reason GC members didnt play on it much (This back before L4D2 server existed), because hardly any even like the game (Myself included). I have a friend who I play with off and on, end up wrecking a whole team (Actually joined his full game and single-handedly captured all 4 points) getting 5 weapons a game then uninstalling because not everyone at least TRIES to play the game. TF2 Heavily suffers from CoD Player Syndrome where a lot players think because they played a Call of Duty game, they can play any FPS. Actually got a whole team to rage on a Cart Push map (Gold Rush?) because our team go to the end pretty easily, we hard stopped the team and only got deaths at end of the push, but we hard stopped the team on the reverse play. Didnt even make it past the first point. TL;DR? Tf2 isnt a serious game. I have more fun in Gmod honestly.
  10. Thats what happens when you put guns in a multiplayer setting, I still tink CS has some ungoldy spread when watching gun videos. Shotguns normally have a tighter cone shape and not this pyriamid of giza style of spread.
  11. Its unknown to people who werent on the server at the time and are unable to few admin forums, if the bot died. Judging that he was banned, it probably did die. This is griefing, if a player where to join and got the bot that had died, it would pretty boring to watch a 15minute game of a single map to not be able to play it. This prohibits another player from playing, inhibits the team of a "fair" game (The other team would have all their players). Just because an Admin could have resurrected bots/players does not entitle you to do whatever you want with it/them and would make rules on the server pointless.
  12. Losing someone is hard, losing someone because of this is outrageous. I wish there were cameras on every street corner, allow to carry concealed weapons, allowed to carry tranquil/taser guns. I have not lost a family member by a means of violent activity, so i have no idea what youre going through, but to loose someone so young and not even half of their life. If this happened in a family friendly community, I feel deeply sadden and angry that this had happened to you and your family and people that also maybe affected by where this occurred. It is best to remember all the good things this person gave to the world. You can do the things he loved to carry on his memory, you can name your next of kin after them. Start a petition to crack down on gangs and/or gun violence. I hope you and your family are able to pull through this tragedy, and I hope no one else goes through this. Best of luck for the future, and hang in there.
  13. The only Privilege of being a Member is to be able to play a game you like that is Hosted by GC. I just see Membership as supporting a group I like for hosting awesome servers. TL;DR Yes
  14. When are you buying these hoards? Cause im pretty sure some parts of the game are coded so that no Hoards may spawn until either a timer happens or a player reaches a point. Would have to try and code a check in the plugin like, if the player bought the hoard, and did the hoard spawn? if no, refund points.
  15. Dont you have to pay again for Admin Status after getting the Ok? I would assume "Membership Status" and "Admin Status" or separate dues/fees
  16. VAC takes a few days one mainly cause they try to constantly update it. I use to know the 2nd reason, but its probably to be like to get the hackers to think "Haha I didnt get caught" then they either a get banned for a few days or get banned from all Steampowered servers.
  17. I keep thinking Minecraft is 10$~15$ since I bought it around Alpha. I go Farmer.
  18. Letting the Hunter pounce at ANYONE while using the AWP? Try shooting them as they spawn in, quit hilarious, mainly because invisible walls are everywhere not letting special infected spawn where they want. Its also way funnier if you Skeet a Hunter with the DE.
  19. I told you they would be stealing stuff from that animals mod
  20. Negitive.. or Posative... <word inbetween Positive and Negative>.. Oh ANDtive. Sorry I just wanted to be popular.
  21. i use to smoke back in high school for 3 years, quit one day because I didnt feel like it. I smoked a pack a week. Best thing to do is to replace it with another hobby, maybe not as addicting as MMOs, cause I think thats what I started to play more when I stopped. Try to find something you enjoy it, and when you get the urges just keep doing that one thing you like over and over. Its that Nicotine that makes you have those withdraws and if you give in, youre probably never gonna give up on anything addictive. Also try to make the hobby something that keeps your mind occupied, so you can easily ignore it. EDIT: Also Giggity
  22. I am more like a Farmer/Miner in Minecraft. I havent been on in awhile and Minecraft usually hates Laptops, the generation of laptops mines comes from, people usually have a lot of problems with it. Ive been in the Killing Floor and Titan Quest mood, but if I am on, I am on. I like seeing what other people build, but I am quite a ways from the main civilization.
  23. Eww Kotaku. Also Doom 3.5 I mean 4, probably wont be as good, probably be AS disappointing as Duke Nukem Forever. EDIT: Watch it'll have Shield, Regen health, Limited Guns, Item SHops, Dark Room so Spooky, etc EDIT2: I thnk Serious Sam 3 was the only game sequel to live up to its other games after having not been released in a long time.
