I don't mean to whine, but all I can do is talk ya kno? This is my fav server on UT right now, and its still going strong, even 5 stars :shock: ! Im not saying that this is bad, or that it should change, or that everybody should feel the same way I do; but something is bothering me seriously. When I play games im always drawn to things that let you "build" and "Customize" your stuff. When I found Joeys I was hooked on theway you could build your own wepons. Threw playing, and studying Dr. Drae, I found out what worked and what didn't. It was fun running around wit a pimped out MP5 and doing better than people wit Lil ladys xP. Then rumors of an update followed.. Promis' of more wepons and pu's and less lag sounded nice at first but I was always a bit sceptical. And sure enough my fear came up when the patch was all done, game procured into a very simplified version of its self. Befor the patch, the hotest things out where wepon summons, L-rods, and chests. Now their tossed out like they where flares or sheild gun pu's... I have played in games where chests where litterly summoned... One game I can remember 7 people opening chests and not telling anyone, and 3 people where busy sharing the guns that they opened... L-rods where summoned.. And I can remember one game when the word WAND was reached 4 times in a single game......... Is it me or is something that used to be 1/35 chance for one person to be summoned has manifested its self into somethin like 1/5 chance for everybody...
As I have said befor I am not whining, don't mean to sound like it but all I can do at this point is ask questians to reach and understanding.. This game has changed drasticly and no longer holds to the same tact as it used to.

i will admit..i do think the magic pu summoning keys and chest might be a bit cheap, as well as the ssr pu. the ssr is way, way to common. today on one map, there were 4 of them. still beat them all with an ak47 though! this morning, on consecutive maps, i found the ssr pu twice. i actually gave them away because i had weapons i considered better...since they fire more direct than the ssr mini's spray out that has less acurracy. i can beat ssr mini with most other weapons too. this really annoys some people XD
but yeah, back to the point...the super strong weapons seem to easy to get with the summoning of weapon chests and such. most maps, people are like, "whoa, i picked up two green keys that wave!" or multiple people have green keys or weps chests. i think it should be fixed more that monsters only drop the chests and keys, and magic pu probably only allowing the fast-adrenaline eating artifacts like ice rune, enhanced lightning rod, and globe to spawn. and only one ssr mini pu to show up once per map, ever.
as for weapon summoning, to me it seems the same as usual. i usually get mine layers and flare launchers the most nowadays, but with more summons available than before, the chances to get something nicer increase. also the chance for people to "steal" more too
since the update, only twice have i seen WAND spelled out (without joey messing around and spawning letters over a instakill pit like in gael2 X}). and i play a lot. its hard to believe it happened 4 times in one game o,,o anyways, the wand is still a weapon for advanced players. its not easy to stay alive with in later waves and many forget using the alt-fire to do just that.
and i wish some people who use the nuke would stop killing others because they can't use it wisely -..- i have toned down killing friendly nukes, but i feel like going back on a nuke-killing spree because so many are killing other players by mistake at crucial times.
as for gameplay easiness...sesshy..how much have you been playing? to me, its become a heck of a lot harder. in nyc-train map (of which i will have a score piccy to show after typing this post in scores thread), 7 wand effigies total appeared in wave 18. there are more wands per map now than ever, and you know how hard they can be, even with great weapons. maybe it is harder to me since i play very late nigth/early morning mostly in US time zones. less players on..which i actually like because it does make things more challenging.
and these are my thoughts on this :}

I haven't actaully played but when the night joey was on I was helping on some things. I haven't seen the WAND pu actaully done. I only play three waves the other night and lost in wave 20. The funny and sad thing is I have been reading the forums and what some of you people right.
One day its you summon nothing but crap, now its to good? Give me a break people. Or you bitch when you don't get something in 100 attemps. Im not trying to be mean to anyone and I like 95% of you all. But think about it. Joey was only doing what you all asked. The patch hasn't been on for a week and now your bitching its to easy!

First of all:
Ortega - This thread was only a questain to bring clearity to a subject that has been unclear to me perviously. Nobody is bitching on this thread but you threw use of the term your self. If your only means of commenting on something is threw accusations and predications basted on your own stipulations and use of profanity then you might need to spectate this thread because its comments like yours that turn a normal, non-threatning conversation into a flame fest that might agrivate the higher-ups.
Second of all:
Dr. Drae - Fighting one wand with a nother can go ither way. I have been on a map with 2 SSR's fireing from each end of the map and "webing" about 70% of the map, nothing lived under that pressure
. Their might be more wand spawns each wave, but throwing extra wands at us doesn't solve the problem to me... And I do agree with you, wand should be set aside for the advanced players and looked forward to from the newer players. I had the same asperations as a newb on this server, to grace the trigger of a wand. And when I understood it more, I aspired to hold it and actualy do some good with it. Now, it seems as if its a toy, and not even the high class one it used to be due to its reinstated compitition.

Wand..., ever since the first time i summoned one, i knew i liked the (summoned) ssr mini, the howie, the lady, and especially the Laser rifle more...the wand may be an instakill weapon...but that doesnt make it fun

lollol anyway i think it is a little excessive w/ some of the 'rarer' pus, i remember today i mustav seen like 20 infs in 10 waves, which is more than i usually see in a whole day , as for w.a.n.d, i only saw it spelled once, and i hav yet to summon an ak so i cant rant about how uber it is yet..
