ETQW Community Forums Down?


(Seanza) #121

Sad times.

Quite ironic after the discussion somebody started RE: where does the revenue from in-game ads go :smiley:


(Stroggafier) #122

Indeed. Its pretty clear that advertising revenue doesn’t have much to do with it.

This was probably caused by some low level pencil pusher not caring about the purchasing decision of a a few buyers caught up in this fiasco, who will now associate any game published by Activision with poor support. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Apoc;205993]Anyone else suddenly feel the need to get the awards for this forum thing?
I really do have a gaming mentality[/QUOTE]
no, the forum-awards are useless without a stats-site :stroggtapir:


(ED209) #124

Forums were probably hit by an EMP nade, gut give it some time

I will try to pass the word on to Nestik, but you may want to try as well. You can get a hold of him at Jerk’s website http://forums.team-jerk.com or on xfire ( I forget his xfire atm though but I am sure if you search for Nestik you’ll find him ).

I doubt I will be able to play though, last night my pc crashed and won’t turn back on so I get to try and figure out whats wrong today and hopefully fix it soon.

Ah, that sucks but thanks for the info. And yeah, I always did like TheBestMedic, most in depth stats for this game I have seen.

[QUOTE=badman;205890]A new story entry has been added:
Men with keyboards are working to get the issues resolved, but unfortunately there is currently no solid estimate for when that might be.[/QUOTE]

Activision???

Thought it’d be a good laugh

Thanks for the SD Ark guys

:stroggflag:


(canvasback) #127

Couldn’t care less about stats… I want someone to work on giving me the ability to physically slap people via TCP/IP.


(Susefreak) #128

just noticed on the activision page:
Medic has a Scoped Assault Rifle and the Strogg Infiltrator has a Lighting pistol


(ED209) #129

Don’t get me started… I am still waiting for the Technician tactical shields


(Scrupus) #130

According to the description on the “new” site, the vehicles also got a commander position - maybe it’s really a preparation for etqw2?? :stuck_out_tongue:

nice vid GUNSL1NG3R :wink:

Internet sites might sometimes go down by accident, but it’s usually fixed within hours - not days…

Anyway I feel home here, so no hurry :hog:

very bold of you @badman to post a news article about this fiasco…and as hard as it is to take, I do understand your need to be nauseatingly kind.


(Nagromme) #132

I’ve noticed that really experienced players can simply use VOIP to convince people to slap themselves. I haven’t mastered the technique myself.


(Stroggafier) #133

Would sending 110v through the mouse/controller work?

But whatya mean stats are not important??? I’d have to say, stats are an important aspect of any game. The devil is in the creation/execution of a useful, balanced, and not easily abused, system of stats. Much harder than it seems. Most implementations are simply a dump of raw data (more-or-less) with a few derived ratios thrown in.


(hozz) #134

New conspiracy theory:

BRINK is all about what happens when more and more “places” are going down and there’s only one safe spot, the Ark.
Same thing basically happening with many ETQW forumers coming to the SD forums aka ark now.

I smell amazing marketing. Wait for more important forums and “sites” to vanish until the Internet is made up from sd.com and everyone is coming here until there are way too many and there’s a forum civil war and BOOM.
The analogy is striking.

I just don’t get how that is supposed to make SD sell more copies, but we will see.

:smiley:
Does this make sense? If not, it must be true!


(light_sh4v0r) #135

I’m sorry, it makes sense to me. :stuck_out_tongue:


(Stroggafier) #136

The SD Forum as Ark…hmmm, sounds like fun. And so, which faction does that make us? and what is the weapon of choice? (sorry, rhetorical questions)


(panickin) #137

Ark? I do believe a DMC or one of these works very well for that map… :orbital:


(Shiv) #138

you nubbies are the rebels and the forum vets are the security :stuck_out_tongue:

After all thats essentially how the game is, security where there to begin with (largly) and you lot wonder on in and start unpacking.

Actually someone from (1) got hold of Mojo and asked if we could play Sunday, so i’m trying to confirm with the group. Sat may work better and i believe whoever it was said thay could work too. One way or another we should be playing some time this weekend.

I’ll stop by Jerk’s forums to confirm or ask for Sat hopefully no later than tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your computer, that sucks man.


(Stroggafier) #140

@Cankor, the Quick Tourney topic might be better served as a separate thread. If nothing else, it would be easier to track progress and collect standings.
