na its just something to laugh at when they come back


i was disappointed that there was no long story though, about how he was misunderstood in childhood and how he carried it right into the dying dxmp and how it was too much to handle :(

I would have plotted a concave curve, not a convex one, but the principle is the same, just the death is slower and more painful in my scenario. I think people will play DX as long as windows supports it...

If the community is too small for your liking, you're stubborn to hang onto it.

most are new faces for me as well, I dont know from which point it became "new faces", but pretty much whole RTK ARM etc are strangers (except nicky when he was in arm) :P
Not to mention 90% of the people I play in 0auged servers. There was time when I knew everybody. Noob times are so much fun.

It's a fair point the player is making about his friends trying the game...

I notice even the most talented players will snipe, spwnkill, fight in a way which often denies the new player ANY experience at all, except a quick death.

Some of us need to learn when to throttle back, perhaps go low-tech, perhaps not need to run as fast as possible between spwnrooms on smuggler for the next kill...

where is the honour or glory in crushing beginners?

But this wont stop people from playing COD4 instead.

You know why?

1. The dominant gametype is 0-augs, with 90% of DX elements removed, no bots, turrets, tooling, puzzles, adventure, horror, danger etc. You might as well have shown your friends half-life 1 or Counter-Strike 1.6, a cubic bland stale and solid non-dynamic environment.

2. I bet you a million dollars, ALL of you have played Single Player, understood the plot, the twists, the stories, the free-roaming, etc... understand what makes DX special, like owning a classic car...

For me I play DXMP really because it allows me to meet and create things with other people, such as DXSG, that for me is real deus ex, something special, and worth shouting about... a free-roaming combat experience with RPG and teamwork...

it's a pity some of us are all so sniper-obsessed and aug-obsessed and ATDM obsessed and this and that....and so afraid to use your brains or NOT make that kill sometimes... I would like to mod scores to give points for different types of kill, a prod or baton "kill" being 10 points, a cold-blooded backshot sniper shot, gets 0 or 1 point if from the front...I appeal to you brothers, where is your honour?

that would bring back what is special about DX.

That is why FGS host DXSG and host custom stuff, it shows new players what the community has achieved, what it can do...

I'm off right now to hide in some corner of DXSG_CMD_V1 and wait for intruders...

if all this fails, just explain to your friends, it's the best plot ever written, literally a prophecy... ahead of its time...

Stop being DXSG obsessed! There's no RPG in DXSG because you can't even buyskills or gain more augs. Just some fucked up gravity with 1 shot 1 kill over powered weapons. Even standard 0aug game is more special than that.

DXMP has never really been a team game. If your team wins a map, there's always just 1 player who you can thank for it.

it's a pity some of us are all so sniper-obsessed and aug-obsessed and ATDM obsessed and this and that....and so afraid to use your brains or NOT make that kill sometimes...

"hi u suck u kileld me wit a snipar from da bak. haev sum honur nd use prod ore baton it r moar skilled"

It's a damn game, get over that bullshit. There's no such thing as honor in video games. You just point, click and stfu if you got killed.

First of all, say role play, second of all despite a lack of customization that does not mean it isn't or cannot be used for role play. Are you seriously kidding me you cannot role play without anything but lines of speech?, of course not because you can do it. If he wants to LARP on a game let him.

In return, I'm going to be really mean right now.

People make out DXMP to be such a unique shooter, well it is but stop parading over it because at the end of the day its still another shooter with magic abilities. It has been done before, it is not special but you make it out to be because it is your favorite game.

Deus Ex Multiplayer is EPIC.
People have their own ways of Deus Ex. I.E Hasharin with his EdH type clans possibly the only fighting clan left.
Cath. Terra RPG - Hungarian Type.
2003 - 2005 - Killing Type.
We all have our own views on dx.

EdH is no fighting clan. If they even are a clan, then they are a playing clan. They are either kids or noobs or both, but at least they keep deus ex alive. Sometimes even I play there.


1. The dominant gametype is 0-augs, with 90% of DX elements removed, no bots, turrets, tooling, puzzles, adventure, horror, danger etc. You might as well have shown your friends half-life 1 or Counter-Strike 1.6, a cubic bland stale and solid non-dynamic environment.


It has its charm, but this is true. Developers wouldve never imagined there could be 0augs, really. THey didnt put much effort into dxmp, but atdm and btdm was supposed to have that kick multiplayer needs, and it did. It worked, even with no other gametypes than deathmatches, and on rather small maps.
0augs however brings out a whole new gametype that simply doesnt have anything but.. grind..

2. I bet you a million dollars, ALL of you have played Single Player, understood the plot, the twists, the stories, the free-roaming, etc... understand what makes DX special, like owning a classic car...


I hope you meant "all of you THAT have played", many dxmp players have never touched singleplayer, which is most disturbing. Now with great graphics in games it is hard to force oneself to play such game again, perhaps.

For me I play DXMP really because it allows me to meet and create things with other people, such as DXSG, that for me is real deus ex, something special, and worth shouting about... a free-roaming combat experience with RPG and teamwork...


I play 0augs because I always did, I got hooked for some reason i these days cant put my finger on, and I continue because that is what I can. When I started DXMP the game as it was meant to be was already dead. Later people would try to revitalize it, but sadly these were the wrong people.
I must say that I did acknowledge that the train had left, that I was too late in 2004. I knew all that. I learned there was multiplayer somewhere in 2002 perhaps, but I didnt have internet at the time.
I have nothing but bad things to say about DXSG however, so I wont say anything about that.
