[Cinematic Mode]

Spectating an on-going match make it hard to get great content worth editing (i know what i'm talking about )
I advise you to look for the replays, so you can play the game, and when you find a match entertaining (great rushes, people doing epic sneaking, etc)
Then you could ask the demo to the server admins, so you could have something worth editing instead of playing the game for hundreds of hours to get barely 20 minutes of content worth editing

[Dot going at high speed on the map? Someone flying all around the map at incredible speed? Someone' body standing outside of his vehicle? Don't worry, here comes your answer!]

Well, you can still worry because they're bugs, but now you can have fun replicating them!

Contrary to my usual bug reports, this one is displayed in public, because this issue isn't only non-gamebreaking, but also very funny

The first video is quite long, due to the process taking some time. It shows:
- how to get your body out of your vehicle (enter a vehicle, then hit 2 to switch to passenger seat, then hit 1 to switch to driver seat)
- as well as a slight issue related to that (you can get shot at)
- then, you'll see how to push the body out of the vehicle (I alternate both POVs so you can see in details what both you and others will see)

 The second video is shorter, and shows you how to get what you'll see as a "flying dude" or, on the map, as a "flying dot". Notice how the automated base defenses do not shoot

   

Have fun

[Introducing the Totem Arts Launcher]

You're right, the links do not work anymore - notice how the refresh button is out of his location as well

[What did i see?]

Apparently, this is how your HoN got destroyed



And about your flying dot, that's an old issue. When someone is in a vehicle, his infantry body can get glitched out of the vehicle, and as it have collisions, it can be pushed all around, thus flying at high speed. I can provide you with more explanations but you'll probably get a headache reading my textwalls haha

[Islands - Glitched c4 spots]

Both GDI and Nod bases have this spot at their respective ramps
(yes, this post is public, but everyone already knows about this glitch because it gets abused at each Islands match i've played past weeks anyway)
 

 

[Timed C4 and Remote C4 blocking a character from firing]

well, i should have said 'almost blocking', it looks like that a few shots are still working fine

so here are two vids i recorded and wow the thumbnails are huge, damn its gonna fill your whole screen sorry
so well the first one is about timed c4s and the second one is about remotes
i also recorded an invincible bomberman (as timed block the shots, it's almost impossible to kill him using a soldier/marksman/shotgunner/offi/doza/mobius/whatever_is_not_doing_explosions_like_Megumin)

 

i would like to do more tests and oops first vid is cropped, i guess thumbnail is kinda buggy, i hope vid itself isnt
so hm eh yes as i said i would like to test more about the (almost) invincible bomberman stuff but i need someone (or 2 hehe) to work with me to do these tests 😛 i would like to check if timed can work as an "armor" and protect a character from enemy fire.

Btw i've heard that the timed and remote "blocking fire" bugs - or maybe the invincible bomberman? i'm not sure - should have been fixed, but.. i recorded these vids today well ehm, 11th October 2021 somewhere between 2am and 3am. Yea it's 4:38 am and i'm talkin' here, tf am i doin' of mah life. Anyway, these videos are quite recent so i assume, that if you did some fixes, they arent working - definitively need to do some tests with manbombing to ensure if bomberman got a space marine explosive armor or not hehe 😜 

anyway gotta go sleep naow, gud niiiiiight :ayaya:
we really need an ayaya emote here

[Consolidated Soundbug Topic]

just dropping that here in case it helps the "soundbug" case
when soundbug happens, i notice a small crack in my headphones, and the songs i'm listening to on Youtube are.. kinda affected, their volume is slightly reduced (like 20-30%)

Before someone asks me to check if my headphone is rightly plugged, ofc it is, it's a weird USB plug so it's all or nothing hehe😛

keep prayin' harder to do not have soundbug in Firestorm

And switching of a good inf player to the other teams ruins the game for the left people on this team and make them leave and is somekind of roflstomping.

Skilled mobidoza players or snipers are really overrated

I think the FPI/EKT discord would be a better suited place for this discussion. This and other reasons are why we don't force balance people in the Official servers.

Airstrip was lost, you changed name to teamwork? then teamswapped. Its unfair move that you did thats why you were swapped back. Also as Sarah said go to FPI discord for discussion.

afaik air was still alive when i've switched, else i really didnt paid attention to that
i dont care about airstrip anyway - excepts when i'm doing some stank shenanigans
also i was really not the most valuable player of the match (as usually)

 

 

2 hours ago, Snow. said:

As StyX already posted, Air was lost and you switched. Didnt noticed that switch because I was busy defending.

I used the respawn time to check teams and saw there are two players less. So I switched you back for a balancing, because someone needed to change and it is not quiet a fairplay move and kind of teamplay to leave his team and switch before moments a building is lost.

I really didn't switched because air died, i switched because i was fighting two mobis and a bunch of other guys (most of the time) without help. My driving is probably one of the worst ever seen in Renegade X so yea, i really don't care about tanks - excepts when we're doing a stank meme rush

Also, i often (if not always) see a difference of ~3 players in a team just after the loss of a building, but people arent switched for that.. I've even seen matches like 7 vs 14 without any swap - but i know right, mods arent checking IRC 24h/24  

And well ye switch isnt really fairplay, and i rarely do - usually i prefer to leave and chat on discord 'till the next game starts - but for once that i did..
The fun part is that most of us know a player who's known to often switch, who have a great aim, but is rarely (never ?) force switched, so.. ahem


'nyway if needed i can come to the EKT discord server, i'll do a journey in the forums to find a link

[A moderator switched me after i've killed him, is it fine?]

Hi
Earlier today on Walls i have been switched for "balance" by a mod just after i've killed him
Server was FPI, mod was Snow
Both teams had all their buildings, field was mostly GDI but sometimes balanced

i was Nod and moderator was also Nod, i've requested a lot of times help to stay on the battlefield instead of having to refill (we had no money so the loss of a 1k char is problematic) but i only had a few reps like 4 or 5 times in 30 minutes so i've switched to GDI
At this point of the game both teams still had all their buildings, and afaik no rushes happened
A few minutes later i've killed the moderator - he was technician, i was patch - when he tried to sneak the GDI base then he switched me back to Nod a few seconds later
I've asked why and he said "for balance purposes"

As most players know the balance here is a legend  so i don't really trust it was for balance purposes
If only i was bioz or Reaper, i could understand, but i'm far from their skills - and i'll never reach it anyway haha

[What does the fact that no one wants to command say?]

17 hours ago, Ryz said:

There are many games where there is a commander infact... Why are there a lot of games where there is no commander then?

Usually there are a few signs which people who have commanded will notice:
- Early game nobody doing basic stuff (defending harv / mining)
- Team ignoring field when it matters
- 10 sbhs before mines
- generally no reply on teamchat

These are the games where I am not even bothering to command cause it's likely lost. I am pretty sure other 'regular' commanders experience the same. If you've been a commander a few times (and play the game in general) you develop a sense of the situation. Commanding can be fun if you get the team with you, but is totally annoying if you are just talking to a wall... And no I am not expecting everybody to join a rush, but if I call out mines 10 times as a player and get no reply, I think thrice before commanding....

i agree from the first letter to the last dot

I was really into learning commanding at one point, and then I simply got voted out of too many games mid-way, I'm not the best, but I'm not awful either. This was just too frustrating for me and it spills into physical life through stress and body tension. I'm talking about people who are frustrated the game hasn't progressed as much as they want, even if we're ahead, people wanting to back-seat command and lead a rush without their commander and no powers in support. Often people just vote so they can get the powers and I couldn't get the position back, they seem to think they can become a hero and buff 2 tanks it solves everything and once the CP is gone they don't care for anything anymore.

I played one game of X-Mountain as GDI and unfortunately we got locked in base, it had to happen to one team, I spent most of the time being sniped in base and the problem with using any of the support powers is that you have to place your character in harms way of everything... you end up with your cp being maxed and you can't use anything because it requires line of sight. I've had several people !noob me just because CP is too high or something like a cruise missed when being placed under fire.

I think giving harvester control to the team so someone diligent can operate it if needed is a good idea because you get harassed for not babysitting this part of the game. I also think Spy Plane or Smoke/EMP could be something that is shared so an operation can go ahead without the commander or if he's killed on route.

I also don't like it when people don't respond when plans are made... players, including people in tanks have to be capable of grouping up, following instructions and allowing the support powers or the tank armour to do its job, else I get games like Islands which become another base-lock and it's no fun and lots of pressure.

[Renegade voice chat]

i knew only one game with a voice chat.. i've played it around 150 hours and heard only a few times ppl using it, usually there was russians saying some strange words, and once it was an english guy who asked us which song we want to listen, i replied "hell march" and he played hell march 3 (bark version), it was so hilarous
honestly if this feature is added, i would only use it as a radio to play some C&C musics ^^

[Few questions]

On 4/29/2020 at 5:26 AM, Kiwhite said:

1. Is there a lot of activity on the servers? People still play? Clans? Clan wars? 
 

2. Is there servers dedicated to sniping? Did free aim make it back in to renegade?

3. does anyone still play old ren online?

hi
late reply but only to notice you there are a dedicated sniper server, hosted by Try-Out (Statler88) 
it's called.. "T.-O. Sniper server" if i'm right

[About balance.... again...]

a topic about balance and players again? i'm too bored to do a copy/pasta (even if i love pasta so much ❤️ )

game balance is fine - i mean, characters, tanks, etc.. remove MRLS weird feature was necessary because it broke many (most?) maps which wasn't designed for these rockets. a pain it took so much time to devs to see it

nerf 1k chars is good, it forces good mobi/doza players to play snipers.
wait a min, does it mean they will be more unstoppable than before because you can't reach the range to shot them without being killed? well.. at least i hope another patch will reduce snipers damages to remove oneshot on engineers by bodyshots

about switch etc.. when i join a team w/o bar or hon, i'll try to switch to opposite side, because.. eh i don't like to be sniped in my own base
i could leave but since my game love crashes when i join a server.. meh

MMR systems will not the chloroquine not be a miracle. imagine i'm a good player, i could sometimes play srsly and sometimes play 'for memes' and try to jump on mammoths as SBH because i'm bored/drunk and i've nothing else to do.

 

Quote

Snipers are a rage sometime but imo thats part of a game ..guys have to counter snipers ...But when Bar or HoN is destroyed and the other team has a good sniper(s) and you can't have a counter sniper.. too bad ..we have to leave with it .Original Renegade was the same when the Defender team had no way to have snipper because of building destruction  ..the other team went Fest sniping

at my opinion there are 5 horrible things in RenX :
- be killed by a sniper
- be crushed by a stank (if i roll around your corpse then it's me hehe)
- be raped by a rush in a 1v10 fight
- be killed by a sydney/rave you're supposed to kill as doza/mobi, but u can't anymore since your guns are water guns
- be killed by a random c4 thrown by a dude 30 seconds ago without real reason to throw it
(i'm sure there are more horrible deaths, as being headshotted by a tank or lose a fight against an hotwire)

usually a good way to counter the issue when you lose BAR/HoN is to stay alive
if your team have a few snipers/mobi and they manage to stay alive, nod team will not be able to push too much - or if they try, you will still be able to kill them.

also i'm not sure snipers really impact the game so much.. they can't destroy buildings, they can't destroy tanks, nor arties/apaches since a patch released.. idk, maybe one year ago.

maybe a problem is the map design - maps with horrible corners like Under or Field? the team who destroy harvesters and rushes with tanks will easily camp enemy base entrance, and in most cases it means GG.

even the gameplay is an issue, because if you lose your 2-3 first harvesters you will lose field, it means you will lose access to money while enemy team will earn more and more money, and there are many times where a team have all his buildings but can't buy anything because they have no money. i'm sure you already was in this case, you had air or bar but no money to buy what u wanted

does it mean the real key of the problem is the main gameplay, or there are several different problems ? i dunno. i'll let u post more textwalls and i hope mine wasn't so long/horrible to read ^^

[What does the fact that no one wants to command say?]

i led only.. 2 or 3 times
at least i remember only two games, one on Flakeside (do u remember the famous bike rush?) and another on Arctic Stronghold
after like 65 minutes of hard work, my team finally pushed and won on AS
it was way more difficult on Flakeside, i led the team against bikes, we destroyed the usual bike rush, then we rushed with gunners in forest to destroy HON, we also destroyed REF, and an APC rush destroyed the refinery with ions and tons of gunners

sadly i don't enjoy to command anymore (if u played the game these last months u know why, take a look on the chat and how no one cares about teamwork excepts to whine)

i'm fine with the good memories, but lead a team of 32 players where :
- there are 3 AFKs i can't kick because there are ppl who vote F2 (brainless? hampering? i dunno)
- 10 new players i can't help to explain the game because i've not time and even when i have they don't reply to my DM (even if i told them how to use DMs.. are they non-english speaker? or they don't care about my DMs? i dunno)
- 10 players sleeping and walking around everywhere without doing anything useful for the team, even if they have a good time by visiting maps
- and 9 active players but they can't rush because they are forced to hold the line..

meh



tbh i don't care if ppl complain against me if we lose (at least i'll not be kicked every minutes by some trolls as some other players are)  but it annoys me too much to see my plans fail because no one want to play with me, even if my plans are geniously stupid or surprisly classic.. it's like play a C&C game but you have no kb nor mouse ^^

[Kicking needs to be changed.]

13 hours ago, Riou Insuiko said:

1 - Server moderators should be more responsive to these issues and remove the players. Obviously if a server moderator is playing the game and in the middle of some intense combat they should not be expected to drop everything to kick them, but between deaths at least take care of AFK, hampering, etc players.

2 - Team commanders should be given the power to kick another player on their team from the game. This can be very easily abused but is the easiest way to make up for server moderators failing to catch these people. People abusing this should expect to be banned from any relevant servers. It's a utility to remove AFK players and people blatantly ruining the match for their team by giving vehicles away for example, blocking doors or beacons with vehicles to stop a repair, etc. NOT to be used for people who aren't following the commander's orders, like preparing for a rush, or generally following the team strategy. Also does not apply to new players who might just be learning the game. I also think that team commanders should be able to automatically disable team members from planting mines without a vote.

3 - An automatic kick for AFK players. Set to 5 minutes. Requires progressively more activity the more the timer counts down. As to prevent people from standing and just moving their cursor every few minutes. AFK actions like repairing should be fine. If someone isn't even doing that and is instead standing in a building shooting at a wall with a solider or something like that it should be easy enough to identify and remove them. This suggestion does not tackle the issue of actively hampering players who won't even have a kick vote passed on them because they'll either just rejoin or whatever.

4 - Kicking more than once from a match should result in the inability to return to the server until the current match is over. Someone who is going to go AFK more than once should have the responsibility of voluntarily leaving the match and rejoining when they are ready instead of the freedom to repeatedly joining and go to the bathroom, cook dinner, or whatever else someone is doing when they log in and go afk. Someone joining with the intention of AFKing until they have enough credits to buy what they want should not be allowed to do so in my opinion. 

Ultimately, regardless of whether my suggestions are considered, I think that something needs to be done. It's too annoying and frustrating to be struggling for survival in a match only to have 3 of the people on your team with their thumbs in their ass AFK doing god knows what and one idiot repeatedly throwing C4's on people's head, running in front of MCTs, etc and when you go to vote them out of the match you'll have idiots who either vote no to troll or because it's their friend, whatever. It's hot garbage and I hate it. 

@Riou Insuiko hi

as first point, it depends of time. Servers haven't 568 moderators, so they can't react at every hours. Also, trust me all the mods i know react asap to check IRC and join the game to check if things happens. anyway, the best way to moderate is still to be ingame when it's the playtime, but many of us have a real life (sadly :p) which doesn't let us play when it's the populated hour  but afaik all mods i know do their best to be reactive and quickly act regarding of the kind of issue 


as second point, *Team commanders should be given the power to kick another player on their team from the game* No. A big no. Because people will abuse of it. Not "could probably", but "will", i'm sure and i can bet you all my beers. Imagine a shitty commander, if someone complain about him he kicks him. Nah, it's rly a bad idea. They could kick noobs to only have skilled players with them. Nah, that's really a bad idea.

about this point, * I also think that team commanders should be able to automatically disable team members from planting mines without a vote* I agree, but it could be maybe hard to code, so.. i don't know if it's possible, and if it is, how long it could take.


as third point, *An automatic kick for AFK players. Set to 5 minutes.* It existed last year  i remember that, but i don't remember why it have been removed. Maybe many players complained about that? When you have a call, or smth, or your wife ask u to wash the dishes, then you will be kicked. If the server is full, it will be a pain to wait and refresh every seconds to join. I guess ppl complained about that, but i'm not sure it's the reason why it have been removed. Good question


as fourth point, *Kicking more than once from a match should result in the inability to return to the server until the current match is over.* I agree, as a kind of "temporary ban". But TBan are relevant of moderation, not of playerbase  anyway, that's a good point


as fun fact, i remember these ppl who spend more time AFK than to play.. like ex7tratesmth (pls change your name dude) who spent so many hours AFK than i'd time to take a shower (and it take rly long time haha) and to eat (around one hour lmao) and when i've been back, he was still afk
idk what they do when they are AFK, like these players who can stay afk for hours.. i guess watch p0rn on phone doesn't take hours, so.. wtf they can do while they are AFK? they forgot to turn off the game? or.. idk

now, about your last sentence.. "It's hot garbage and I hate it."
i've only one thing to reply.
Welcome to RenX PUBs 

[Radio commands are a mess]

"muscle memory is confused"
ah? eh.. because it only took me 10 minutes to learn where is Affirmative, Negative, i'm in position and I need repairs (i rarely use other radio commands)
i guess, if you learned where was the old command hotkeys, you can learn where are news - excepts if you're too old for that  

Affirmative on Ctrl+2 is way better than Ctrl+7, now i can say affirmative while moving instead of being standing under sniper fire for 1 second - the necessary time for a sniper to send his ramjet bullet to your head -
keep I need repairs for Alt+1 is good, because this command is one of the most used

at my opinion, these new radio commands are better  but i've still a question...

Ayaya radio command when?

[Max Beacons Request]

first fact: nukes and ions are op
i remember a 20v20 game on Field which has been ended by nod nuke rush, they planted 9 nukes  (our last building was surrounded by Nod tanks)
also, another fun fact: without nuke/ion spam, a few long game could be.. longer  
sometimes nuke spam is the only way to destroy a team and win the game, so keep it without beacon limit
