Other Games / 1st March : Gorgeous Update
« on: February 28, 2013, 10:21:29 pm »
Wicked.

If this is everything I'm hoping it will be it will really reboot the competitive scene too!

Maybe we can do away with that 24p server before everyone arrives expecting better balance, it would suck to put people off anyway.

Rookie friendly is good imo, we want new Kiwi players to feel as welcome as possible on the only local servers after all :)

Doesn't mean $#@!, just means an arbitrary number of people may be interested. If every steam user voted, it may mean something


I guess you're right, I just say that because it was one of only a handful of games I voted for and I was really pleased when I saw it get through.

It offers you slightly more impetus to buy a game than just something that randomly pops up with no metacritic or any word of mouth support.

Speaking of random games I just picked up "Intrusion 2" a side scrolling shooter that's kind of Metal Slug meets a highly detailed physics engine while you ride around on a giant wolf. Anyway it's actually really fun! Go watch the trailer anyway;

Oh dear, my Steam balance won't survive this!

Also in my opinion Towns is a great buy even though it's only a beta/alpha; if you've got a desire to build a little town complete with farms and mines and lots of crafting then Towns is a no-brainer. In addition it was Greenlighted onto Steam so it's already community approved.

I know it's just Huffpo but I thought this wasn't too badly written;

Intellectual Discussion / Is this the simplest political decision so far this year?

Something like 80%+ of under 35s support Gay Marriage, which is what the poll here seems to be showing almost exactly.

Seems like a basic human right, and certainly something we will consider a basic human right in the future.

Yeah nice one :)

The servers were pumping last night, strats are starting to become more of a thing now people know all the basics and are willing to try some new styles.

I was making some good use of Vortex last night; it does need a bit of a buff I think but it can be super useful for getting a Dual Exo out of the fight long enough to kill his welder :D

They are updated, but as usual the 24 player server is sitting at around 50% performance; no doubt people are teleporting around again. :neglected:

Some kind of Exo perhaps...

The game is really great, I've seen many people say the levels of teamwork in this makes TF2 seem like it's hardly team based at all.

The real hook for the person reading this though is that there's a real NZ/Aus community, unlike almost every shooter that comes out these days.

There's an NZ server pumping right now, there are NZ clan matches and Pugs (Pick Up Games) being played this week and beyond!

Now is the perfect time to jump in and join us too since everyone is super new, with even most of the veterans of NS1 not having played in years.

Other Games / GetSome Natural Selection 2 Servers

Hey man, loving the GetSome servers, ping is great and we're really starting to build a community.

Just a couple of quick requests for you to consider;

Could the 24 Player servers be scaled back down to 16 like they were for the first few days? The game is balanced for 6v6 clan matches so 12v12 really messes with the games intended flow; UWE themselves say 18 is the largest a server should be but 16 feels good for pubs. In addition to that the server can really choke when a 24 player game goes for nearly an hour; people often just start quitting.

The other thing is I notice there is functionality on the site for booking servers; we have roughly 20-30 people in NZ interested in getting the NSNZ clan and pug scene back up and running, and since GetSome has the best (and only?) NZ servers it would be really great if we could book and/or admin one of the servers a few times a week (and hopefully more once things get moving!).

The rookie tags seem fine to me for now, since GetSome are the only NZ servers we're all just going to play there anyway and I'd rather not scare off any genuinely new NS players.

Thanks for the 30 ping servers anyway!
