thus less fun.
A lot of things that contributed to emergent gameplay were removed and not replaced.
IMMs that were great at creating dynamism stopped playing.
Rayihn leaving was a massive blow.
No coders, nothing major game-changes-wise going in. No new imbalances to exploit.
Basically game feels like a lot more work for a lot less fun.
The 2000-2010 incarnations of the game and all t
that tracks what processes you run on your system and captures all sorts of telemetry (== your data)
which it proceeds to send back to their servers (which are not controlled by 3rd parties, but by discord the company).
FYI.
I know you're doing it for fun, but if you do decide to do it for reals (meaning be competitive with the best clients out there)
Python isn't really the best language to use since it is slow enough to introduce measurable latency when you have some
degree of load from actions/highlights/triggers etc.
The two major issues that I see:
Your msg handler doesn't match prompts.
and your arguments are crap. If you can't have fun playing with or versus
Shamanman, you're completely retarded. Nightreaver can murder * with
impunity, as long as it doesn't go against the Tree. I've hunted goodie
outlanders like no tomorrow when there was fun to be had, on both sides
(not being a prick while playing chaotic evil is an art).
I've even killed my o
It's literally a single port forwarding operation that can happen outside the CF app.
There's also datapipe.c, socat and other modern equivalents for someone who doesn't want
to involve the kernel.
I'd come back if:
+ Current IMMs stopped fucking with players trying to have fun
+ IMMs that were great for the game came back
+ PK edge points restored
+ Current IMMs stopped fucking with players trying to have fun
the problem lies with the mentality of the CF IMMs.
I'm paraphrasing here but I think it's an accurate assessment of how they think
about the game in that opening up the code would reveal too many "secrets"
and promote a culture of (some) players looking to find and exploit mechanical
advantages by examining the source.
They won't even accept professional softw
They can't even fix bugs that have been in place for many years.
Or do minor alterations to classes that everyone has been complaining about (for many years).
Maybe we should throw some money in a pot and beg Nep to come back. I'll take him
over any of the current IMMs.
and unless anything has changed in the last 7 years I would assume
what he said is still valid. For combos that have a bearcharge that lags
(not caves, not hunters, not sure what else), *size difference* is the prime lag factor
and terrain (including civilized) does not make any difference whatsoever.

The enthralling taste of catnip makes you feel wild!
You finish eating a sprig of catnip.
You are definitely still hungry.

Easier to gear, catnip, claw attacks, amazing defenses,
they can cover vast distances without ever losing camo.
For this matchup, if it comes down to it (ideally it won't)
felar can stand and do melee with STSF drow. Giant ranger
will be ripped to pieces. Plus, felar ranger will easily own
any other non-felar ranger in the game, especially giants,
which Outlander tends to have.
I ain't even joking, if you play the class well, you can make him delete.
Pick forest for sure, savage or survivalist. You don't need cabal powers,
just basic preps all rangers can get (haste, aura, shield) and catnip.
When you ambush, make sure to hit his vuln. As savage with high
DR and good weapon and the drow hatred edge (make sure you get this),
you can probably one shot
so not very good.
My choices are:
w-elf animist marshdweller and hope you land both wasps/mosquitoes which
should be easier than other builds.
or
felar bedouin hunter (no other build will be able to touch you and you can
engineer situations).
I stopped playing together with most of my CF buddies, mostly when they removed PK edge points.
Some subsequent changes that gimped things even more were the final nail in the coffin.
None of the shit you're complaining about matters. Plenty of newbies with the desire and intelligence
to dominate CF have joined in the last 10 years and last I checked they're holding their own just
since they didn't already know it, and C is not to wielded by the clueless
or those late in the learning game -- might work for Javascript but it doesn't work for C --.
That said, I know plenty of really skilled (= FANG) people who offered to code for free
and got turned down which is of course totally insane but hey CF codebase is srs
business.
compared to the sad current state of affairs.
He created imbalances that generated strife and gave ppl reasons to play the game.
Elite CF players figured out those imbalances -- totally black box, respect --
and took advantage of them.
Let's assume that felar ranger will have superior melee irrespective of terrain (easy).
(This can be amplified by getting the giant to fight you in civilized, nullifying his wildfam,
which was a smart decision in this log).
This means giant ranger can't simply bearcharge;!;! as he would be killing himself
(he made that mistake in a previous log).
Ranger can ambush other ranger
I don't remember calling anyone a moron. I'm just extremely narrow-minded
in what I want out of this game (PK), and I can't see myself having any fun
with ranger now. So I'm really talking about my playstyle, but ppl get
defensive at the drop of a hat.
My CF playing days are over unless playerbase expands radically,
but since I have a lot of time on my hands these days
with these numbers, probably the worst class in the game in terms of PK fun.
The most fun scenario I can think of atm, is raping Gokmokroh into deletion/leader-loss
with a dexy ranger which ofc ain't very fun to begin with and sucks for him.
And then you're left playing a shitty class in a dying game.
1) Passollargo is clearly worse (dirt kick you fool!)
2) that's just how terrible this matchup is.
(Any) giant ranger vs felar ranger => prepare to get fucked
