Wrong.

The mods whacked him at the behest of Vile and the other higher-ups who own/develop CSP and do not enjoy having their nepotism and ineptitude revealed and discussed.

I’d love to play one of them but half of the members people talk about aren’t even on their forum page so it’s kinda hard to contact them.

It’s a shame we haven’t had a chance to play yet Gezus, what with our vastly different timezones.

Also, I would hesitate to play you now exactly your computer is crap. If I’m going to crush you, it can only be with you at your best.

There are lots of good players in ACES, so be nice to us :)

Topic: CS Portable / Best Sniping Clans?

Sniping has indeed died.

If you play on any Sniper Duel map you’ll find countless cheap cowards inhabiting the ladders oscillating up and down shooting you with only minimal time for you to react.

Some of us still enjoy the up close and personal approach with our AWPs tho >=)

brilliant.

Spectator mode. It’s got what speed hackers need. It’s got electrolytes.

Topic: CS Portable / Mods for Clan Wars

So since we cannot password protect hosted games to keep out randoms, I’m thinking it would be nice if there could be a new set of mods who can be requested for a specific time and date to monitor and adjudicate clan wars.

So any randoms are able to be kicked and server settings can be overridden in case the host is acting childish.

What do people think?

Topic: CS Portable / How much the map Abandoned Plant should be worth? [Poll]

The map is definitely awesome.

Having said that, would I pay any money towards it? No.
Why? It’s not because I want to stooge you on the time and effort you put towards it, but because any person can make a map for this game. There is a guide. There are simple tools that are well documented to help you.

So should you charge people for the most basic and integral part of this game – obviously not.

A lot of devs do silly things that are not appreciated by the community nor profitable.

This is the issue here.

The fact is that time and time again the community is all but totally ignored and/or not consulted. The end result being updates that contain things that are ill-conceived and ill-implemented combined with being either not tested or the testers being so poor at their job idiotic ‘features’ like bullet speed become canon.

Being able to unlock things over time with points or exp or some other mechanism is a tried and tested method that keeps the free players from leaving(mostly). Being able to charge for content so that players may access it quicker is also tried and tested.

Consider that if you were to charge for a map, it would have to be a bloody brilliant map. I’m talking super seriously amazing. Like a map that has the popularity of Dust 2.

The poll contains too few data points to be of any particular use right now. If you wanted proper data perhaps you could add a single-time popup when the map loads that asks the question of users, as a lot of your player base does not visit these forums.

The only content I would be willing to part with my cash for would be gun customization and maybe a really awesome game mode that doesn’t currently exist. I don’t use skins because trying to hunt down a skeleton is annoying.

Gun customization would have to be something like extra ammo in my clip or a more accurate barrel/sight etc. But that will end up making this game largely disadvantageous to free players if you don’t get the exp/reward system balanced properly.

For example if there is a customization to improve the reload speed of my AWP, I don’t want to have to play continuously for 6 months just to earn it.

I like it.

Will probably sign up in the next few days.

Cheers.

Topic: CS Portable / How much the map Abandoned Plant should be worth? [Poll]

It’s too early to be certain what the map is worth, you only just released it the other day.

Perhaps in 2 weeks you can retry this poll. That way people have time to either love or hate it and can give an informed decision.

Considering all the other features that haven’t been implemented and the general lack of community consultation and time we’ve been waiting for any additional news, I’m not prepared to consider paying anything until the update comes out and I can see what has been done.

For a awhile, we did allow users to host their own servers.
Due to server costs, we have removed the feature for now – but we hope we can implemented it once again.

When you refer to server costs associated with people hosting their own servers, is it purely related to the profile/achievements/other statistics data that you are receiving?

Players can still create games, so that must mean that you are hosting all these in your hardware and thus an upper limit to the number of games at one time exists.

The point I’m getting at is that if players can already host their own servers, how is it different now to before. If the player base remains relatively constant then there should really be relatively the same number of games being run as before.

Otherwise the only way server costs are decreased is if the player base has for whatever reason been reduced.

Topic: CS Portable / In-Game chat channels

So apparently the clan I’m currently in has a channel in the in-game chat.

I can’t see it.

So far it’s been indicated that if you have too many ‘friends’ added to your profile, for whatever reason you can’t see it.

So following the advice of a friend, I made a second account with 0 friends. And low and behold suddenly it appears.

What say you o’ Vile of the Insider Information – why is such a feature designed thusly?

Topic: CS Portable / *Weapon suggestion*

Yeah ‘development’.

If we had all held our breath for it the entire player base would be dead.

This discussion on weapons suggestions has happened so many times it’s not even funny anymore.

Topic: CS Portable / Rank 5 (KD 1.28)

Originally posted by CSPortableRegret:

I think rank does kinda of matter because I have vs. many rank 1’s and gotten pwned in the face. They are pro, I am only a rank 5 and I have been playing since May 2012. My kills have just went over 7000. I mean I played for a long time and still couldn’t get to rank 1. I mean I am not a hardcore gamer so I don’t get a lot of kills each day. I think I average only 50 kills per day. So I mean getting to rank 1 when you are not a hardcore gamer might be hard for you.

(Co-Leader) Lucky-Regret

Sorry but I’m going to continue to disagree with you.

As demonstrated in another thread, I got to rank 1 with < 1000 kills in a few hours. Granted I have a skillset that allows me to do this in normal Classic or TDM modes, but you could just as easily do this in Juggernaut as mentioned previously.

If you think rank is important make sure you check any generals you meet. If they have < 5000 kills then there is likely something fishy going on. You might consider someone on 10,000 kills to be fairly experienced, but the true pros have a high KDR and a large amount of kills under their belt.

If I see a general with < 20k kills I automatically assume they’re noob until proven otherwise by combat.

Topic: CS Portable / Rank 5 (KD 1.28)

My advice – don’t bother worrying about your KDR.

You’re still a noob and your only goal should be playing against pros. It’s the best way to learn. And if you die and are waiting, spec the pros to learn some more.

Once you get yourself confident that your skills are adequate, then make a new account and try to maintain the KDR on that.

Rank is meaningless, buying skins is meaningless (go to settings and disable them) and your KDR is only meaningful if people know your reputation for not just farming noobs to increase it, but actually being a good player.

Go forth and destroy.

Topic: CS Portable / Rank 5 (KD 1.28)

Rank has effectively no meaning in this game.

Also your KDR is not very good.

Topic: CS Portable / Time to split the Mute/Kick/Report button

I’ve been doing a bit of thinking about it, and perhaps it should be amended to a check box to mute instead of a button, thus making it possible to see which players are muted and simultaneously allowing you to unmute with ease.

Topic: CS Portable / Time to split the Mute/Kick/Report button

So I’ll eventually get round to posting this in the in-game suggestions blackhole, but I thought I’d get some opinions here first.

Currently the Mute/Kick/Report features are all combined to a single button.

This is not ideal.

This is primarily not ideal because I may wish to mute a whole bunch of spamming children in quick succession. I’m prevented from this necessary action because there is a cooldown period to prevent people from kick/report spamming.

So I must suffer the insipid ‘Y’ ‘YY’ ‘YYYYYYYY^inf’ spam which slows your system down if it’s coming fast enough and causes stuttering and jagging of the graphics at the same time.

The other reason it’s not ideal is because if I want to mute a player, and to mute is my only intention, I indirectly and through no fault of my own cause said player to feel offended when it registers a kick strike against them.

The usual response is them immediately retaliating in kind.

Depending on the situation this can (and has in my experience) caused a cascade effect where people jump on the bandwagon and suddenly everyone is voting people left, right and center.

So as the title states – it’s time to split these functions to separate buttons.

TL;DR – Split the Kick/Mute/Report button into at least 2 maybe even 3 buttons. This allows for easy muting without causing offense.
