someone should do something...

Postby Raiiiny » Wed Jul 02, 08 3:19 pm

we need to bring the deus community back to life an keep it alive.
don't think of the limits, but the possibilitys. DeusEx is a really good
game, with alot of potential.
someone needs to get a team together. every descent current
modder, mapper, mesher, an texturer thats willing to make something new.

the other day i've seen about 80+ ppl on through out servers probly because of summer over here in the u.s. but the number of ppl has dropped and is still dropping. people such as me get on occasionaly to see if anyones came out with something new, worth playing again, to see whos on or just to do some modding/mapping.

i think if everyone makes some massive co-op map/dm map, something that hasn't been done before, more ppl will start playing again.
maybe something like the deus sp online co-op?(shrink the maps, an fix the mp bots of course an w/e other glitches).
main mans server brought alot of ppl back, for the short time it was here.
just a thought, thanks for reading.

post ideas, or if anyone wants to start such a project
im deffinately willing to join :]

People now play better games, why play a game just because of a mod comes back?

not just a mod, your thinking to small but several things.
why do ppl still play mario for super nintendo? i'd rather play it,
than play GTA, most ps2 games, xbox, ect.
as another example, i'd rather play deus than halo,
call me old fashion.
its because of deus that this forum exists, an everyones in it is here.
i got about 7 ppl to start playing again just because a few of my mods, an my server completely changes the gameplay of deus.
i had 14+ ppl on my server today at one point,
an there were atleast 4 on it through out the day.
if they like it they get there friends to get on to check it out,
which would result in more players.

be optamistic

A big mod would entertain people, and for a while perhaps even entertain a full server of players.

It may get a few players to stick around for that mod's sake, but as far as the game itself goes or its community it would be completely worthless.

For a coder itll be just fine though, and for those few that are entertained by it.

Deus Ex can only get new life from advertising; and that'll be too expensive and hardly pulling any yield for a decade-old game.
Signatures are dumb.

well atleast ppl will stick around for it.
i don't want deus to die out on me, after all the work i've put into it
an im sure im not the only that feels that way.
takes a modder or mapper to understand what im saying.
whoever just plays to play an didn't make any contributions don't
give a damn about the game anymore, its sad really.

if you watch the servers closely like i do, you'll notice more ppl on dif servers when
something new comes out an brings ppl back an dies down
when it gets boring
its been awhile since something like funline or stargate came out
an deus is really in need atm

yeah, deffinately!
if theres a multiplayer install i can get ppl that've never played before
i met from other games around the world to join.

if 1 person shows 2 ppl an 2 ppl show 2 ppl
an those 4 ppl show 2 ppl an those 8 ppl show ppl
the deus community will keep growing.
they've been showing deusex on that gametap commercial which might
help get some ppl as well.
its what made me think of deus an wanna start playing again

Let the game rot. I could care less.

Even if you do happen to make a mod that introduces about 5-10 new players, it won't do anything besides create shitty e-fights on forums nobody visits anymore.

Why post in a topic about it, if you dont care? Surely there are a few topics here that are not about this game.

I'm just saying, out of the countless times people have tried to repopulate DX with players, it's a lost cause. I am pessimistic but out of the many times I've seen the programs to repopulate this game fail horribly, what else could I be?

If you're optimistic, go ahead with your cause. Just think smart about it all. Look at the big picture.

Yet, you not only joined a Deus Ex forum but you also post on it? Seems a bit retarded to me and yet, I agree.

As cataclyzm said, people have moved on to newer and better games. And new and better games are constantly being created. If the original developers of a game were to help repopulate the game then it may survive, it's happened with other games but it isn't going to happen with Deus Ex.

i love deusex, its fun to mod an map on. The games just alil old
an wasn't adervertised enough. i know about 200 ppl on afew other games, surely if the multiplayer installs made an posted i can get atleast 100 ppl to play.
everyone i asked has never heard of deus.
but ftr, most of these new games are crap.
the makers concentrate so hard on the graphics they make the gameplay suck
an some ppl are to blind to see it. gears of war sucked, halo 2 horrible, assassins creed lame,
all the new strongholds suck, deus 2 sucked, warcrafts are expensive an suck, ect. its not until after you spend $50 on a game you "hear" is good an your stuck with it that you play it.
super nintendo is still my fav system, i just perfer the older games
i "know" are good.

but some ppl give in to easy, if everyone on forums made servers an joined them there'd be like an extra 35-75 players right there -_-
i just got 3 of my friends to start playing again, its a start.

Deus Ex 2 didn't suck, Warcrafts don't suck, aren't expensive, you can get the 1st one for free. None of Warcrafts are concentrated on graphics, but on gameplay, look at WoW, it's not expensive, $15 a month, but I'm sorry, you don't have a job so you say it sucks?
Assassins Creed sucked, agreed, cuz of repetitiveness.
Halo 2 isn't horrible. Never played Stronghold. Gears of War didn't suck, I loved it in Co-op mode.

I am very annoyed by the way you type.
Good luck with what you are trying to make.

well the 2nd was far from as good as the first,
the first few warcrafts were good but WOW is expensive in the U.S. where the econ. is shit atm
sorry i don't have a mom to pay for my shit like you, i have a job just don't plan on waistin my money every month on a game i already paid for -_-.
an warcraft 3 wasn't the best in my opinion, just a distorted version of startcraft.
halo 2 was horrible because of the weapons mostly, spec compared to the first.
stronghold crusaders amazing, but the rest that came out after that were a disaster.
gears of war did suck, the buttons, an you couldn't freely jump.

Like i care, because i don't like the way you type either. :lol:

I highly doubt Raiiiny intends to bring the game to life to something like 1,000 players, although that would be nice.

Nor did he say it would be easy.

If people were to try hard enough, and if there were enough people to do so, then it would be possible to entertain at least a few people and convince them to come back on.

Of course, I don't think I'd do it myself unless such a movement started and was succeeding.

An 11 year old doesn't pay for his games, or anything. The money you use to pay for World of Warcraft comes from your parents. So really, it isn't you whos payng...

Basically, if my parents gave me money a long time ago, not borrowed, but gave me money, then it means that the money is mine, I can do anything with it, therefore, I also can pay for World of Warcraft. Every two months I need to pay 50 KM (around $30) to play, and every two months I get more than that. Also, I buy and trade games to my friends, and yes, let's say I make a bit cash.

Also I'm 12, not 11.

About freely jump: There are several games in which you can't jump freely, yet they are pretty good. E.g. RainbowSix Vegas

Jumping in FPS games is silly most of the time, and bring up an unusual haabit to keep bunny hopping...especially in Deus Ex lol.... Jumping has been nerfed a lot in recent games because of realism, to climb now you've been given action buttons which I prefer really.

its really base on opinion an game type.
some i like it like RE4 an some i don't.
could you honestly picture mario with action buttons? lol

i should attempt modding an action trigger
to give deus abit of a RE4 feel. would be sweet jumping through windows
but since i don't mesh it'd prob just look stupid jumpin through them
in a crouch postition or turnin sideways :P
