<div class="IPBDescription">Devs need to aim for pub servers</div> The latest thought to enter my head was how NS is aimed at people who can work together. All good and dandy <b>except</b> on pubs, this doesn't happen. Go around and look at the number of passworded servers to free servers. It's about 10% last time I looked.
It's huge for a game, but what about the other 90%? Clans will fall apart without public servers. Can devs please look at the S&I (suggestions and ideas) forum for what many people in the NS world think. Thankyou.

    Hey, what do you think us consties are here for?


    Ahaha, I kid, I kid. Anyway, you can't balance a game towards people who refuse to play it like it's meant to, and it's still a fun fps game if you don't use strategy.

    Who says pub players can't work together?
    true, there's the occassional lamer & nubcaek, but most players I see on pubs are (semi-)regulars and if people just want to run around and shoot, well they can play NS:combat.

    Unless American pubs are different ofcourse, I mostly play on Euro servers. mostly.

    As its been said before, find a better public server. Ours is public, but we enforce teamwork. If all you want to do is run around and demand equipment then die with it, you will be removed.

    NS at its best is clan play, u will never experiance the full potential of NS if your without a clan. hopefully they can balance combat for public play, and classic NS can be balanced for clan play.

    I see NS as a self-reglulating game. The annoying kids who refuses to take part in any kind of teamwork will "selfdie" as they will lose most of the games and will get bored of it rather quickly.

    I do wonder why people say ns is 'at it's best' in clan play... when they actually mean high skilled clan play... I could join a clan which isn't very good and have a totally different experience from the top tier clans.
    You can't balance for clan play and public play... because low level clan play practically IS public play... you have to balance it for ALL of ns.
