Funny thing about slide gents! At the end of the slide you warp. (Broken animation fellas) Maybe you never notice this so go explore a map offline and go slide you will see your screen warp back and then forward if you pay attention.
Now if you all are so keen on keeping slide I will say it again. Make it so you are stuck looking in the direction you chose to slide in, then at the end of the slide you can aim. (Oh wow did we just fix a broken core game mechanic with one simple suggestion?)
So much going on I missed this.
I really agree with Colts on what's going on here and that it needs some attention. That animation stutter drives me nuts, and the not looking where you're aiming (and don't forget possible hit detection issues!) is a real problem that the Devs have said requires some resources to tackle properly.
Since we're talking about warping issues, try jumping and strafing in scope after landing.
Well, remember how we wanted Training to be better for all kinds of things, including stuff like reviving into the line of fire, and we had this big discussion about declining a revive?
The No Stat scenario is like the next level of Explore Offline, wouldn't cost much to implement, and players like Doba and Colts could help new players so we keep gaining a bigger community!
I'm sorry but i'm not convinced the main problem retaining players is their lack of game knowledge and that a mentoring system is the savior...
honestly that would be like blaming the players not the product.. sorry not with ya on that one
Give us Comp Mode.. if the numbers continue to fall .. Im with you on that one
Pretty sure they already did a comp mode, even gave up a few official servers for it but literally nobody played it.
Granted it wasnt as lightweight as you guys would probably have liked and had mechanics you'd now want to see changed or removed, but point still stands, a dedicated mode for comp just didn't work on pubs. What wolvies doing with the official maps.. turning them into tweaked UMMs for you guys is probably the closest you'll get to a perfect AAPG comp mode. Embrace it
Why are players not playing this game?
That would be a really good question if worded differently, as players do play it. So it should be..
Why are not as many players as we feel should be playing, playing this game?
Even then I personally would struggle to know the answer, as I'd likely be wrong on anything I presumed, but I'm also slightly biased as I can enjoy the game as hard as that may seem to grasp, I (whilst detaching myself from FunPolices nipple) think AAPG is a good game. Not saying it's the best I've played but it's far.. far, from the worse.
I'd love to see a definitive be all end all answer to why the game is not as big as it is. So to make up for my shortcomings as an AA fan.. I'm blaming David Cameron.
If my trollery drives you crazy, you'd better put on your seatbelt.
The reason I'm suggesting a possible No Stats type server is NOT FOR TRAINING specifically, but to have a place where new players AND experienced players can go without worrying about their frag rates. You could actually stop, talk and give pointers.
You'd help, wouldn't you Doba?
Maybe this would be a more welcoming environment than him dying 8 matches in a row and leaving because all he got was attitude about how he didn't know which corner to peek to stop the Farm Squad.

I dont see what Stats have to do with it.. theres only 1 clan that team stacks and rolls new people.. we all know that.. Havent we been suggesting honor ranked servers for new players for yrs? wouldnt that help them.. and still they can get the points and progress, cause trust me they want that crap
You're so much help Bam.. you also liked AA3..how'd that turn out?.. guess what..we're heading down that same path
You guys can say those steam numbers mean nothing.. and you don't judge a game by the number of ppl who play it..
Well the Army might, as far as I remember the reason AA3 was abandoned so early was because low player numbers and unfixable bugs..
Guess what.. same boat different color!!
Let me put this into perspective.. AA3 at the time when they decided to move on.. had a difference of 4 full Flo maps of players playing... that's it!!!
I'm playing.. I have more hrs than you do.. but it seems like I'm pugging/ scrimming with the same 25 players every single day.
I know that's fine for you because that seems to be the trend in AA.. find a server you like and stick with it..with the same 100 people everyday... which is ok in making friends and having a good group to play with... but it's bad in the longevity of any game
We need more players.. 2x is a stretch at this point.. which still wouldn't be much
Without change its not gonna happen .. Comp Mode is change a good alternative where both casual and more serious gamers can have fun
I think the COMPompous side of gaming is unfair, too many tweakers & ini's did you read that ekCOMM confession on how he set up his game? gross. I will stick with the fun loving, natural playing, PUB crowd, you never hear them complain about a bush, supported or a slide they just have pure love for the game.
Doba, you ever heard of 'market sentiment' and catalysts? You can make statements without being the guy that pulls this game down with constant negativity, can't you?! At this point, if the Army listened to only you...do you think they'd suddenly spring for comp mode....or shut down the project?!
Can it! Please!

In what way is my suggestion of comp mode gonna have a negative effect on you casual players?.. those 500+ players that leave 3 hrs after trying the game expect something different so why not give them that experience? In return you'll get more people playing casual mode
This is the BS part.. there isn't even a compromise with you clowns.. I'm suggesting a win win and you still deny it...
Not sure if you noticed buy this game is 'your way'.. for the casual player and guess what .. it's not doing so well
It will make things even worse.. even if more people join after the release.. because they will be playing 1 map 1 mode.. wow Amazing job... cause its not bad enough already 8 of 12 servers are inner
Bam.. do you really think EK's setting have any affect on his gaming abilities? If so you need to get a clue... that's his preferences.. my ini is untouched because I do like some quality
Doba...it's not about your comp request, which is perfectly valid. It's the predictions of doom. Saying things often enough can act as a propellant toward fulfilling the prophecy. Is that what you want?

The only way to make players play everyday for years is competition. You can only pub for so long before the game has nothing to offer. The incentive to practice and get better, the feuds, the thrills of playing against the best and all that stuff that keep people addicted through the gameplay.
That's why CS gets bigger every year and CoDs always die after a few months.
The only people playing casually for a long time mostly do it with friends, but any game is fun with friends, those people are always 1 interesting release away from disappearing.
If this game has any aspirations of staying alive for a long time, if desperately needs to become more competitive, doesn't even matter how, there are many ways already discussed in various threads.
Do you guys think AA should have some kind of upgrading Teir System? With other MMO's, that seems to be what people keep hanging around for. The ability to keep upgrading health, stamina, weapons, etc. but if you do that then you have to have equivalent skilled players paired off in a match. Something I suggested before is a random map generator where you never play on the same layout. I know we are some years from that sophistication but it needs to be explored.
