I havent been that involved in Dx that long so..

[Wasted]

I wanna know bout all the Scares that DX has suffered from, I asked before but nobody listened to me, I know there are some

[MainMan]

well one time there was all this hype about cheating and aimbots etc. (now it seems to be coming back, with Alpha's aimbot, etc).

Then a lot of server hosters started being realy paranoid about lambugging. (on my server the MOTD says 'Lambugging is highly encouraged' lol.)

And not long ago everyone was going crazy about the gamespy masterserver (without it, there wouldn't be a list of servers when you click 'multiplayer', you would have to type in the server's IP address) going down. Nochance from godz even made his own masterserver which is still running. (My server is hosted on both masterservers)

I dunno, they're all the "scares" I can think of right now.

[Allan]

Yea, wasn't there one where all the servers were running some kinda CTF mod? (Probably long long ago...)

[Wasted]

Somehting bout CTF i heard soemwhere.. That was mentioned as a scare on hybrids life story i think

[Conceited]

like cancer scare? fatal scare?

its never had a real 'scare'.

[MainMan]

like cancer scare? fatal scare?

its never had a real 'scare'.

no, but he means the sort of things like i mentioned

[Conceited]

they're not scares, though. the masterserver will probably be fine 5 years from now, just hearsay that caused all commotion, that wasn't discouraged by GODZ.

[clyzm]

There was this one time, in Dx, when it was down. Some hacker noob shut down the master server, but then it reopened a week later, he was caught.

Dunno if that's much of a 'scare'.

[~Hy[ß]rid~]

Yes, CTF craze and Non-Aug are the ones I remember. Non-Aug was by FAR the worst.

Dude are you serious about the hacker noob?!

[Moleh]

Master server has dropped a few times, but its barely a handful since the MP started.

I imagine he is one about stuff like the origional Funbot showing its face.

[synthetic]

i take it this noob didnt have anything to do with dx and hacked gamespy?

[Allan]

Lol, not suure if you would call this a scare as such, but whenever i hosted my EvilLab map, within 10 minutes i would seem to have 8 ppl on it (Max was 11), so i guess dx community loved my map, and threw everything else aside for like a week and a half... it was kinda funny

Bah, when I host my server and go downstairs to eat or something. When I come back, my server is either:
a.) full / almost full (most often )
b.) crashed
c.) empty, because Wasted abused admin and summoned a load of lagwagons.

[Wasted]

Woah, I did not do that, and anyway if Im standing on the second floor its hard to aim at klop and not catch someone else, I got nailed by it even hiding in the sewers. In other words not my fault.

NGUK and PDX server went down, BC's(DEA) old server went down, TCN server went down, and finally, [3] server went down.

Thats about it, the gamespy downs were of no concern because it was obvious it would get fixed rapidly.

Ofcourse, thats if you dont count noaug, which really is the only reason DX sucks these days I'm sure.

only reason DX sucks is how many people have you trained to play augs in the last 2 yrs.

[Moleh]

Actually, considering the fact that few people got into augs was due to the steep learning curve and the fact that new players just went into a server and got bashed, the very reason anybody is still playing DXMP today is probably down to 0 aug. Think about it. Had there never been a 0 aug, then all the 0 aug players wouldnt be here. If they werent here, what would that leave you? Cos it certainly wouldnt be a growing community.

The only reason why DXMP sucks these days is because as the monkster said, its because of 0 aug. The learning curve in DX is so steep that nobody gives it a chance beacuse the only people who go into a aug server are those looking for a good skilled scrap. Going on what Mole said which is totally true, non skillers arent given 1 chance in hell. The auggers just tramp on them.

If it wasnt for monkee putting up with me and my stress i can safely say i wouldnt be 50% of were i am today. He taught me so damn much and he cannot be slated for doing that!
I hold my hat upto him. Ive always looked upto him in DXMP.

I think DXMP would THRIVE if more did what monkee does.

thats true monkee teached me the auging to

[Tuler]

The question of whether DX would be around (the MP) or not without 0aug is interesting. I wonder what the DX community would be like right now if there was no 0aug. Who left because of 0aug? Has there been a mass of people leaving because of 0aug?

[Ste]

First of all, hi tuler long time man!! hope ur cool.

I wouldnt say a "mass leaving" because of 0 aug but fact remains in that new people who buy dxmp install and play, only play 0 aug because its just like any regular point and shoot with med points and ammo refills. The augged game, the real dxmp; has a steep learning curve anyone who says different is billy bullshitting.

People left the augged game because of the crap floating around the community like TCN for example, yes i was in TCNdk because i was in the great DK when the merge happened. But there was so much rubbish during the high point of dxmp.

Also the rivalry in 0 aug wasnt as intense which alot enjoyed. I think augs died out because of people idleness, i myself got idle from augs and went zero aug but now play both because the great monkee. I would say i was skilled but he taught me things so basic yet things i never thought of before.

Augs died because of lack of servers, good servers. bottom line!

All the good servers were zero aug
