CSS server going FF-off

[wihadmin]

As you know, our CSS FF-On server isn't getting the players that it used to. Originally we set up the FF-On server bc almost all of the CSS regulars here likes some challenge in their gaming. However, a lot of the regulars have gone over to playing Guild Wars. So now only about a quarter of the regulars play on the FF-On server at any given time. The previously high level of gameplay that we're used to has degraded to random accidental/purposeful teamwounding and team killing, mostly by the casual passing-by pubbers.

In addition, we are not drawing in new players like we used to when we had the non-FF servers. The reality is that the standard pubber doesn't like to play on FF servers. They tend to flock to the non-FF servers. What I'm going to do is change the FF-On server back to non-FF. This should help us gain more players.

When we get the number of regulars back playing CSS like we used to, we'll change the server back to FF-On. But for now, it'll be non-FF.

So spray away Rambo's!

I am torn...on the one hand, I enjoy the more realistic challenge of FF-off.

On the other hand, I can't aim for crap.

I guess it's a wash either way for me :D

[Saur]

Lol, that'll lower my death count a bit. The other day I was gaming on Piranesi, took pointman as a CT up the middle way in the building, met heavy resistance, over came it but had my fair share of wounds to lick.

I was prowling, bein' all careful like, noticed a team mate was coming up my rear on the radar, felt a little safer when all of a sudden RATATATATTA!! Sucker gunned me down!

I swear, I felt like that Aayla Secura chick from star wars III (the blue alien girl that gets shot up).

Ah well, if even jedi reflexes couldn't save'em, what hope had I?

(and btw, it was an accidental TK lol, traitor forgot what team she was on :P)

have a restricted(newbie) server with no awp, g3, 550, and ff off

then the un-restricted(intermediate - pro) server with no weapons restricts and ff on

This sounds good except leave the weapons restriced because the awp, etc. woud ruin the experience.

[Aryanar]

Alright, this really sucks ass... I come here to play because it's the only FF server I know that's any good (it restricts the stupid weapons too). When I play today I find it's not FF anymore. I can deal with the idiots that TK me occasionally for no reason, it doesn't bother me because I know they'll get kicked/banned if they do it too much. Yesterday some guy ran up to me with a pistol and emptied 4 entire clips to kill me thinking I was the enemy... finally he did and I just slayed him for doing it, no big deal. After that, he learned. The ones that don't learn will be leaving really soon, since they've got three strikes.

FF is so much better; not only is it realistic, but it teaches you how to aim and prevents random spraying down halls with all your buddies in front of you.

[The_Professor]

Amen brother.

Besides won't the kiddies be out of school for the summer soon anyways?

Sorry to see the change.

[jwolly2]

I'm very sorry to hear this. I know I haven't been on as much as usual, but
if WiH is no longer ff-on, I'll be looking for a new place to play. I'll still stop by once in a while, and stay w/ the forums, but it won't be the same.

I seriously hope you'll reconsider.

[FiLTHY_SNiPER]

I agree... FF on is what keeps this community together IMO.

Also, I've been playin CS just as much as GW lately, considering the hype of that game is dying down (just a little : P)

[loopcycle]

some of the teamwounding lately has only happened in spurts. its not consistent, and not frequent.

ill look forward to FF on again, the sooner the better. hopefully the plan will work and we will get a strong crowd stuck to WiH.

so WTH are you guys doin on GW? :P




for FF junkies, gamers coalition has a pretty cool FF scopeless (midwest) server thats a decent runner-up to WiH servers.

[Nsane]

:thumbsup: If you turn on ff i'll paypal u a dollar! :thumbsup:

[atomicbob]

Lol, that'll lower my death count a bit.

Oh shut up.

:x

What you gonna miss?

:yaya:

[Skadar]

I'll will defentaintly miss the FF server. I guess i gotta ask the question what server are all the FF people moving to?

[Aryanar]

I won't be moving, but it definitely detracts from the server.

And no, for the love of god, do not reinstate the two sniper weapons EVER. Those are irritating as hell and make the game devolve into everyone trying to get an AWP, with virtually no skill involved and no fun. My playing style is psychotic rushes, and with one shot kill weapons that's even more suicidal than it already is. Server reinstates those, and yes, my CS career is officially overwith.

[wihadmin]

FF-On is not going away forever. We have to do what we must to continue attract players to our community. It is you, the players, that is our frontline to the rest of the CS player-base. What makes them want to come back? Well, for starter, if they log into the game server and had a good time with friendly helpful people, they'll come back. If they log in to a stacked game, or where there's team-wounding and team-killing, they'll most likely won't come back.

We're not doing this to alienate those of you who likes to play FF-On. On the contrary, we are trying to gain more quality players to our server and to the community. To us quality never meant how good a player is in CS. We measure quality in who they are and how they interact with the people around them. Once we re-establish a larger player base for CS again, we will return the server to FF-On.
