Soap on "[Clan] Soap's New Clan, Working out the Details"

Soap — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 09:36:10 +0000

Hey all! :D

So yup, it's official! I'm going to make a new clan, and a bunch of people are already willing to join! d(^W^)b Sadly, Zeke is sticking to another clan... :,( Regardless, we'll still be buddies and I have a good feeling that I'll be able to lead this one pretty well. ;) In case you don't remember, here's the list of things we've got about it, with a bit of editing:

CURRENT IDEAS FOR A NAME: Architects of Awesome (AoA), All Stars Only (ASO [as-oh]), Modders of Aces (MoA[moh-ah]), 37 To The Maximum (37MAX), Undead Survivors of Warfare (USoW [yoo-sow]), Veterans of Warfare (VoW [voh]), X-tinction (Extinction, you know?)(X), Where Da Chicken At??? (WDCA), Damage per Second (DpS), Brothers In Arms (BIA [bai-uh]), etc.
CURRENT BASIS OF IDEALS AND MOTTOS FOR CLAN: Building is best; a good defense is a better offense; Ace of Spades + Chipotle + fine young women in yoga pants = Paradise; Modders forever; pioneering the way to the coolest game on Earth; for everyone who's chill- homey's and lonelies, the ladies and the mateys, and anyone else who's got the coolness in them!; best at everything; back from the dead; n00bs will be punished severely; we HURT; fun and enjoyment first, winning comes next; united we stand, together they fall; etc.
CURRENT POSITIONS FOR CLAN:
Kings: Soap
Generals: Tr1ck, Barq
Commanders: N/A
Elites: N/A
Veterans: N/A
Privates: N/A
Recruits: N/A
Draftees: N/A
NOTE: by applying in ADVANCE to a position and also contributing to the creation of the clan, you will automatically be given that position! (b^^)b But when I say "contribute", I mean REALLY contribute!
WHAT OUR CLAN WILL DO: Clan wars, modding packs, HOPEFULLY host servers if we can get someone to, being "prophets" of building good structures and other helpful hints, basically just being the coolio/friendly helpers of AoS, TO SHOOT UP YOUR @$$, etc.

Anyways, now that we have MOST of the stuff we need, we just need more contribution and ALSO we need people to "vote" for a name for the clan, because nobody is really in agreement. :P By that, I mean ANYONE can vote- even if you're not joining the clan. ;) We just need a decision, so yeah. :P

But anyways, it IS official, and this clan WILL rock if we can get those contributions necessary!!! d(^W^)b So thank you EVERYONE for supporting the idea, and I hope that we can really get this clan up and running so we can get to work! ;D

DeathEnhanced on "@Komrades...."

DeathEnhanced — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:51:25 +0000

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say,

I think your doing as fairly good job in tkaing more of an intrest in the community as a whole.

For example: http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=7455&replies=19#post-124821

Its things like that which really make closer ties with the community and also make the clan more well known, (though komrades is already very well known lol)

A good idea would be to routinly run community events on the komrade server, on maybe a monthly or bi-monthly basis?

Back when [HK] was farily new we ran a similer event: http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=3860

And gained around 10 members in the process; as well as having some great fun, a lot of people turned up and made it quite a night to remember, as some of you may recall.

So i really hope the same happens for you komrades on the 15th.

-------------------------

Somthing id also like to suggest: I had alot of ideas for [HK] before we dibanded, and seeing as komrades is now in my opinion the foremost AoS clan, I may as well share them with you in the hope you can use them.

1) Get involved in making mod packs for the community, instead of just your clan, im sure there are at least a few skilled modders in your clan.

Every now and then you could release a mod pack courtesy of the komrade clabn, with a link to your application thread in the mod release.

Also the mod packs dont have to be komrade related, otherwise it just seems like propaganda rather then giving to the community.

2) Run more official AoS tourny's, get on the IRC and talk to the <@> team. Things like AoS fest and the adrenic tourny.

The idea is to take a dominatiing posistion in terms or organisationel skills in the community.

I had much more to say, but didnt really want to bore you with a wall o text.

So in conclusion: There was a common misconception that I didnt like you guys "komrades" but that is far from the truth, I hold a measure of respect for you, hence why im writting this.

One thing i would suggest: The clan overall is going very well, but there arew some potentialy major issues that need to be addressed.

And that is the behaviour of select komrade members, introduce a 3 strikes policy on forum behaviour, its THESE individuals who are lwetting you guys down. You need to make sure your members behave moderatly well in order to keep the komrades name clean, so's to speak.

I recall having to kick a few members out of [HK] in the eraly days for misbehaviour. Dont let these individuals ruin it for the rest of you.

Well, i have to get to tech drawing (im at college) so take care and ill see you guys later =].

Soap on "THE REAL SOLUTION TO BALANCING THE GUNS"

Soap — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:16:31 +0000

Hey all. :D

So I just want to say that I'm REALLY sick of people trying to call the SMG overpowered. -_______________-' To start, it doesn't really even matter; like 9/10ths of the people I played with used Semis 24/7, and that actually got on my nerves because of the lack of intensity. It was more like "shoot first or you die", and I prefer those games where you actually stand a chance. Dying after one, well-aimed headshot isn't nearly as fun as going extremely commando and having a real gun fight with the other team.

Now, I'll even admit it myself- I only use the new SMG about 35% of the time now. 55% more of that time is usually the Semi, and the remmaining 10% is the Shotgun. The SMG is indeed good now, for it can actually stand up against the Semi jerks who spend their entire day sitting around sniping. In addition, YOU ACTUALLY MOVE WHEN YOU HAVE AN SMG. -_________________-' The jerks I refer to with Semis actually just sit on their lazy hindquarters and snipe anybody before they can get closer. Thus, that provokes the other team to use Semis, and thus, it just turns into a Sniper Battle or a Sniper Slaughter. And I think we can all agree that's SO much less fun than actually going into battle with an automatic weapon and being as much of a boss as Rambo.

Now, the SMG is MUCH better. What people don't realize is that the people who critizice the SMG buff SPAM SEMIS. They're just afraid that they'll be beaten by SMG users. *sigh...* I mean, does anybody actually REALIZE how sad that is??? That's like whining about not doing your homework because it's too hard! I'm going to tell it to those Semi retards ONE. LAST. TIME.

IT'S. NOT. UP. TO. YOU. ONLY. SO. SHUT. THE. F*CK. UP.

Honestly, this buff is EXACTLY what we needed. The SMG could barely even be used past the range of the Shotgun, and was basically a mix of the two weapons in the crapiest ways possible. If you don't understand, I'll put it in diagram form:

#Example#
Weapon Traits:
-Trait #1 (Level of Importantness, 1 being lowest and 4 being greatest)
-Trait #2 (Level of Importantness, 1 being lowest and 4 being greatest)
-Trait #3 (Level of Importantness, 1 being lowest and 4 being greatest)
-Trait #4 (Level of Importantness, 1 being lowest and 4 being greatest)

Now these were basically the ideas of how the game looked BEFORE 0.60...

Semi's Traits:
-Power (3)
-Accuracy (4)
-Range (2)
-Fire Rate (1) (yes, it has a fairly good fire rate, considering it's only semi-automatic really)

SMG Traits:
-Rate of Fire (2)
-Range (1)

Shotgun Traits:
-Power (3)
-Accuracy (2) (you know within it's short range :P)
-Rate of Fire (1)

Now, here's the basic stats and performance AFTER the update:

Semi's Traits:
-Power (3)
-Accuracy (4)
-Range (2)
-Fire Rate (1)

SMG Traits:
-Fire Rate (1) (because firing more quickly doesn't matter as much now; it matters about landing those powerful hits that it now has)
-Range (2) (because you can actually HIT something now)
-Power (3) (because it actually does more damage)
-Accuracy (4) (because you can actually land hits from a distance now, and THAT'S what really caused SMG-users problems)

Shotgun Traits:
-Power (3)
-Accuracy (2)
-Rate of Fire (1)

WaitwaitwaitwaitWAIT. Let's take a look again! This time, for all of the retards, I'm going to explain why I say these things for the weapons' traits:

Semi's Traits:
-Power (3) (if you get a headshot, it's a one hit KO, so that's VERY important; but it also only takes a few shots for any other kill)
-Accuracy (4) (if you can't get those pinpoint-accurate shots that the Semi has, you can't deal the damage that it gives!)
-Range (2) (it's a defensive weapon- they'll never see you coming)
-Fire Rate (1) (not really the highlight of the Semi; it's just off to the side and not really factoring in its performance)

SMG Traits:
-Fire Rate (1) (because firing more quickly doesn't matter as much now; it matters about landing those powerful hits that it now has)
-Range (2) (because you can actually HIT something from a distance now)
-Power (3) (because it actually does more damage)
-Accuracy (4) (because you can actually land hits from a distance now, and THAT'S what really caused SMG-users problems)

Okay, I kinda just used the same explanation for the SMG, but let's take ONE LAST COMPARISON...

...

Now, is it just me, or DO THOSE FACTORS ADD UP TO THE SAME STATS?!?! YEAH GUYS, LOOK- SAME VALUE IN RANGE, POWER, FIRE RATE, AND ACCURACY!!!

Now before you go off at me, I would like to say this: just because they have the same "stats" from the observation of their performance DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE TRULY EQUAL. It simply means that NEITHER ARE COMPLETELY WEIGHTED IN POWER COMPARED TO ANOTHER. But since they both have generally the same stats, that means that it merely depends on how they are used by the PLAYER and THEIR SKILL, NOT JUST BY HOW GOOD OR CHEAP THE WEAPONS ARE!!!

Something nobody takes into account is that there ARE people with skill who are actually pissed at the n00bs who can't quit whinning about the performance of people. I was just playing on Goon Haven the other day, and KomradeKristina and MinecraftGamer were camping in this HUGE enemy structure and I spent SUCH a long time trying to get them out. Not until I started writing this I had felt that they were just camping and being n00bs, but THEN I realized at the strategizing and skill it must have taken to get up there in the first place and maintain their position that whole time (about 20 minutes or so)! It occurred to me that it wasn't them that lacked the skill and needed to resort to something n00by; it was simply ME not being able to compete with THEM! So whenever you see somebody actually dominating you with THEIR skill instead of doing something totally n00by, DON'T BE A N00B.

I think my point is clear enough to understand. If you still need help understanding why the SMG and Semi are balanced or have another point to bring up, please do so in a comment.

But there's something else I wanted to say...

Did ANYBODY notice that we barely discussed the Shottie AT ALL???

Yeah, that's right guys- the Shottie is being NEGLECTED. It looks like a child's toy compared to the Semi and SMG now! What ever happened to the idea of a weapon that actually CONNECTS at close ranged and completely MASSACRES enemies that are shot? Why aren't there any total headshot moments that make us go "OOH, THAT'S GOTTA HURT!"? Where's the idea of a weapon that is ACTUALLY the King of Close-Quarters Combat?!?!

The SMG and the Semi are fine, but the Shottie is just a weapon barely ANYBODY ever uses anymore. The game has become based around long-ranged battles where cover doesn't matter anymore, for it's just WAY too easy to destroy. Thus, Shotgun-weilders can't get close enough to pwn the n00bs. :,( The Shottie is my best friend in A LOT of FPSs, and it's actually a shame that it's full potential as an infamous bane of murder hasn't been unlocked by Ben. So this is what I suggest:

1) Keep the power of the Shottie the same, but up it's range and accuracy to "mid-range" (basicaly the effectiveness the SMG used to have). I say the best way of going about this is by recuding the spread, because the spread is what really causes that. So nerf the spread a bit, but not by enough to make it more like a Semi; just enough to keep it's spread fairly wide within an average distance, if you guys know what I mean. By doing so, this will give the Shotgun the range and accuracy it needs to compare to the SMG and Semi now.
2) Up the damage it takes to destroy blocks from gunfire (and maybe pickaxe damage if you guys think that's a good idea too, but I honestly don't know), thus enabling people to actually find cover and think more tactically instead of picking and pissing off people while hiding from the entire fight. If the amount of durabilty was upped for the blocks, not only would Shottie-users be able to have a bit more safety from being sniped, but demolition would have to be more gradual instead of a single, pride-bestowed structure being totalled in a few seconds by 10 people with SMGs. And who knows- maybe it will give us all some time to fight grievers at work. ;) I say that maybe 5 hits (166% damage to destroy, compared to 100%) or so would be a good amount, because it's not above 200% but it's not too close to 100% either.

As long as these things are applied, nothing should be unbalanced based on mere performance, and should ONLY be good in the hands of the proper player. ;) They would all be BALANCED in some way, and it would only depend on the SKILL of the player in the end.

So that's how I feel about it, and again- SHUT UP ABOUT RE-NERFING THE SMG, IT'S FINE YOU D*CKHEADS. -______________-'

And while I'm here, what do you guys think about more points being given for melee kills? :?

ReubenMcHawk — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:31:13 +0000

Okay, so I know that everyone knows about hackers in Ace of Spades, and how they are purely sinful game-ruining beasts, with their backwards legs. But I think I finally have a way to get rid of them.

See, the hackers only change the game because they want to access the features they want in it. So why not just implement the features into the game itself? Change up the config file a bit, and we have this:

I got kicked/banned out of the Prestige Worldwide server for some reason.
Who do I talk to to get myself unbanned?

Someone said "hack", yet I don't even know how to hack . . .

[EX]mman789 on "World War Z[Another zombie role-play]"

[EX]mman789 — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 20:48:46 +0000

Lets face it. If video games have taught us anything it's that zombies are coming. So to avoid being completely screwed, well role-playing solves all problems so I made another zombie thread(the old one became more one guy telling a story than a group thing). So a few things...
1.Be realistic
I'm not saying you can't be funny or do werid stuff, just don't pull shotguns out of your ass :P.
2.Below is a promt. Follow it and if your new simply create a diffrent story line and possibly meet up with the other group.
3.Play as a team. Don't shut people out or complain about there descions.
4.Have fun!
Promt:
You and a band of surviors have barrakaded yourself in a aparment building. You woun't last long there. It is a urban town so there are plenty of places to go. You should take surviabilty and food into account. And your not dealing with slow, stupid Dead Rising zombies, were talking fast L4D2 zombies. Formulate a plan and head out, before it's to late...

Ok so this is going to be my first weapon pack but 1 have made lots of skins in the past. In 1.v there will probally be 5 guns. Some will have up to 4 different kv6's with 3 sights each, so u can get more of a choice. I started work with rifle as he would be doing the irons but i think Jagyr will be taking over.

HK(Hunter Killerz) is a clan, currently only for Ace of Spades.
Clan thread> http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=6625&replies=15#post-111675
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can we offer you?

Well, HK has grown to become one of the foremost clans in AoS, matched only in number/organisation and power by the komrades.

We have a working rank system with the chance of advancement, our own forums, armoury, community server. And we frequently organise both private and public events.

For example. We played against the AoS moderation team and Ben Askoy in the very first official clan war.
