[QuakeWars] Enemy Territory

i'm happy to report that i finally redid my win install, and installed this game

it's laggy as shit, although i just updated pb hopefully that was the cause

i will see you fucks in game, i'm teddykgb
 
Just a little bump here. I've been hyping promod a lot, but there really hasn't been any good NA propub. Until now, that is. theXc!amation clan, the owners of pretty much the most popular vanilla pub, have put up their own propub, and its been fully populated since.

If you dislike the randomness of the spread of vanilla, or are frustrated by ridiculous vanilla spam, check it out.

8.9.9.103 is the IP.

ETQWPro 0.55b HOTFIX - Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Official Community Site for promod download
 
What does promod really add anyway?

That is what I want to know.

Honestly vanilla seems fine to me. And the last thing I want to do is upload promod and end up playing on servers full of uppity "pro" players who think they are gods gift to gaming.

There is a reason I don't play competition, and it's so I don't have to play with people like that.
 
Code:
[20:30] <@DwarfVader> WHY?
[20:30] <@FishStix> oh :o
[20:30] <@FishStix> its fun?
[20:30] <@DwarfVader> But the rest of us are having fun playing Vanilla
[20:30] <@DwarfVader> and there are more servers
[20:30] <@FishStix> oh, i see
[20:31] <@DwarfVader> I know you're a huge proponent of ProMod
[20:31] <@FishStix> i just want you guys to try it :O
[20:31] <@DwarfVader> So what I want to know is
[20:31] <@DwarfVader> why
[20:31] <@DwarfVader> what makes it better
[20:31] <@FishStix> less spammy
[20:32] <@FishStix> takes more skill
[20:32] <@DwarfVader> but I want YOU to tell me what makes it fun
[20:32] <@FishStix> much better for competition
[20:32] <@DwarfVader> and see
[20:32] <@DwarfVader> there it is.
[20:32] <@FishStix> automatic restrictions on things that can be abused
[20:32] <@DwarfVader> Such as what.
[20:32] <@DwarfVader> I haven't had much of a problem with anyone abusing things.
[20:32] <@DwarfVader> Sounds to me like it's nerf's for competition players
[20:32] <@FishStix> 5 hogs 2 decicrators a cyclops and a tormentor
[20:33] <@FishStix> you really want to play against that in comp?
[20:33] <@DwarfVader> I don't play comp
[20:33] <@DwarfVader> and have no intention of doing so
[20:33] <@FishStix> or in a pub
[20:33] <@DwarfVader> Never have had a problem with it in a pub
[20:33] <@FishStix> well then you haven't seen the horrors
[20:33] <@DwarfVader> if I'm playing on a server full of morons
[20:33] <@DwarfVader> I leave
[20:33] <@DwarfVader> and find a new server
[20:34] <@FishStix> 10 AVT's up against and MCP
[20:34] <@DwarfVader> the last thing I want to do is have less servers
[20:34] <@DwarfVader> and more "elitist" people
[20:34] <@FishStix> no amount of strategy can deal with that  plus all vehicles and snipers
[20:34] <@FishStix> sir, then this mod isn't for you
[20:34] <@DwarfVader> Because of the "elitism"
[20:34] <@FishStix> pretty much
[20:34] <@DwarfVader> yeah see
[20:34] <@DwarfVader> I don't want to join a server, and use artillery to take something out
[20:35] <@DwarfVader> and have some asshole
[20:35] <@DwarfVader> A: bitch
[20:35] <@DwarfVader> B: kick me
[20:35] <@DwarfVader> C: some other type of stupid
[20:35] <@FishStix> OK that's fine
[20:35] <@DwarfVader> because he thinks that my use of arty was wrong.
[20:35] <@FishStix> you're a totally casual player
[20:35] <@FishStix> promod is not for you
[20:35] <@DwarfVader> ok
[20:35] <@DwarfVader> that is what I wanted to know.
[20:35] <@FishStix> only reason I am such a huge proponent is because I think its wayyy more fun
[20:36] <@FishStix> and most people stopped playing the game because it was too random / spammy
[20:36] <@FishStix> er
[20:36] <@FishStix> comp players *
[20:36] <@FishStix> and TW people
[20:36] <@FishStix> that used to play
[20:36] <@DwarfVader> Yeah the problem is, I'm only usually playing with one MAYBE two TW people.
[20:36] <@DwarfVader> and don't get me wrong
[20:37] <@DwarfVader> I played t1/t2 just like everyone else in this room.
[20:37] <@DwarfVader> I love a good team game
[20:37] <@FishStix> just thought I'd let people know what promod is, and try to convince them to see the more competitive aspects of TW
[20:37] <@DwarfVader> and yes pubs can be frustrating when everyone is doing their own fucking thing and not trying to get to the objective.
[20:37] <@FishStix> er
[20:37] <@FishStix> QW
[20:38] <@DwarfVader> I just don't want to get kicked/banned or even hassled in a server because I'm not being a soldier when I don't feel like being a soldier... (or any other class.)
[20:38] <@DwarfVader> not to mention the fact that at the moment, there is only one decent promod server.
[20:38] <@DwarfVader> Also...
[20:38] <@DwarfVader> another question
[20:38] <@DwarfVader> if I do install it
[20:38] <@DwarfVader> will I have any problems playing on vanilla server?
[20:38] <@DwarfVader> servers*
[20:39] <@FishStix> no

A couple questions about promod answered, simply too lazy to rewrite it more concisely.

I'll probably stick with vanilla most of the time, but next time you hop in that promod server and I am around send me a message or something and I'll try it out.
 
Giving this a bump while on vacation (2 relatives bring 3 laptops, WTH). Will be home tomorrow and probably hit up QW ET a bit tomorrow night, if WoW doesn't hold it's usual sway LOLprincess...
