    I am TERRIBLE at this game. I'm seriously the bottom 10 percent of FPS players, but I still enjoy it. Is it ok if I try to join the Angry Dome sometime, or is that just too bad?

    I do spot, though!

    Might want to check about who does what where. And hey, you wanna be funny, and then complain when you get a little kick, when and when isn't SRS BSN?

    The problem is that when I'm kicked I can't get back in because it's full up. I'm not in a position to yell in vent, so now I'm SOL. :?

    Maybe we can make room for people who appreciate the sense of community we attempt to build? Or maybe you can read the OP or numerous posts that talk about who to add and you be one of the 40 other people who message me constantly on Steam so I can make a slot for them via kicking a pubbie? Or maybe you can continue to complain in the thread? Whatever works for you.

    You will likely die plenty. I did the first time. Then I went away and slaughtered large quantities of the common man on pubbie servers. When I returned I got the occasional top ranking. When there were hardly any PA people on there.

    Way to dodge me offering you a perfectly good solution to your previous main complaint. And, if you've been here, you should know that certain weapons are lame, spamming of them is lame, and defending the spamming is even lamer. So is sassing admins. You got kicked. Big whoop, you want back in, ask, space will easily and quickly be made for you because you post here. Don't like it, go somewhere else.

    I've been here and playing on the Angry Dome since the beginning. o_O

    I know that there's an ongoing debate back and forth about spamming certains weapons - usually with Warcry being at the heart of a lot of them.

    I still feel that kicking people for CG/40mm/M60 is silly - today was the first time since playing here that I've seen it become an issue in-game on the Angry Dome, though. Usually people just gripe back and forth in the forums.

    That is because most people curb their spam when asked to curb their spam. Davincie did not. You sided with him, and did not say "smoke launchers desu." You basically had a double whammy coming. But, back to your original complaint, you could have gotten right back on the server had you asked like a civilized person.

    It doesn't matter. Ask Zzulu about his fence destruction. Punishment is sure, if not swift. Also, how ever did you live through that 45 seconds of not playing. Ugh, what terrible admins.

    EDIT: That was directed at Sladvan.

    · admin.say command implemented
    - the output currently looks a bit funky on the game client, like so: Player: [Server]: <text>
    but with the next game client it will look like: Server: <text>

    · admin.yell to squad has changed (you need to specify both team and squad)

    · squad numbering has changed – the “no squad” squad has ID 0, and real squads are 1 and up.

    · Autobalance improved, it shuffles people both during and between rounds now, and does a better job. No way to turn it off via admin interface yet I think.

    · mapList* commands reworked

    · banList* commands reworked

    · listPlayers command added

    · admin.listPlayers command reworked (GUID, kills, deaths, ping and score added)

    · Players have non-PB GUIDs now (these are distinct from PB GUIDs)

    · onChat event reworked
    - now it specifies target player subset as well
    - shows text before profanity filtering
    - client-originated chat messages starting with “/” make it to the server, and broadcast via onChat, but are not broadcast to other game clients
    - use “/!<command>” if you want to be able to send commands to your homemade rcon tools without showing the commands to other players

    · player.onAuthenticated added (it’s triggered when a player receives GUID)

    · player.onSquadChange, player.onTeamChange implemented

    · Couple of crash fixes

    · Support for “region” setting

    It all looks good though really. Lots of admin backend stuff which is nice, but the autobalance and hopefully more stability fixes are what we really need. Well that and the balance patch :whistle:

    This kinda makes me glad I'm on the 360, to be honest. You may not like it, but it's a viable tactic, and if someone manages to live long enough to dump six antitank mines on a point I'd say the defense is performing poorly and probably deserves it.
