Ns Publicity....

<div class="IPBDescription">Can someone tell me what's going on?</div> I dunno but i think i read somewhere that with the release of 3.0 the NS team are gonna step up on the publicity and bring in more players.
Personally I think this would be great as alot of the servers here in AUS at least are mostly empty. Although it would be crap putting up with the n00bs, it would hopefully lead to a wider recognition of the genius flayra has pulled off with NS.

Can anyone tell me what's happenin?

    I thought after 3 they were going to work on getting it ready for commercial release.

    “First we'd like to get Natural Selection into retail as a stand-alone product. NS is gaining players every day, but it's still a modification without a PR-budget, so a retail launch would gain many more players and reviews.”

    Also I think NS 3 will appear in Steam as a supported game, so thousands of curious new people won’t be able to resist clicking and installing it over Steam. I tried opposing forces for no other reason then it's in the menu, but have managed to resist installing ricochet <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Am I the only one who has a bad feeling about the swarm of new guys, ignorant idiots as well, that are going to bomb your favorite server, keep it full 24/7, claim themselves regulars and call you a noob?

    Hopefully new people will try Combat first, where they can learn some basics and messing around will just get them killed. Also a properly written manual would help lots. Cut out the sci-fi crap, just explain the game mechanics in plain English <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Most people don't even read the manual though. It's like this, "Read the Manual? NOOOPE! LET'S CUT RIGHT TO THE ACTION BABY! PAIN TIME IS GAME TIME!" Well that's the guys I get in the server I play at.

    Hopefully 3.0's building spacing will fix a few commanding problems especially with overlapping buildings.

    Am I the only one who thinks people complaining about "n00bs" running wild all over NS are, for the lack of a better word, noobs themselves?

    It creates a whole load more though, as you can’t fit stuff where you want it. Über turret farms are a thing of the past too.

    Noobs aren't really a bad thing, ns needs more players..........

    But what we also do need is ALOT more noob servers or training sessions.

    Yes.
    Notice how they say 'noob' or 'n00b' instead of newb or nub. That means, they don't mean newbies in the usual sense, but rather, jerks who refuse to learn.

    Training is seriously needed or people will be instantly turned off by the fact that its impossible to win as aliens without teamwork. Even now teamwork on the aliens is rarer tjhan it should be. So lets all be helpful to them ok. Remember you were noobs once too <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ....after coming back to ns after a long abscence ive found that i behave in an embarissingly noobish fashion myself. As for more players...hurrah!!

    I openly help newbies, but there are those that are either amazingly slow to learn or simply think that they're an island and can do whatever they want at the expence of others. I blame parenting.

    There was never really any need for uber turret farms, I also think this is a good way of limiting turrets without putting a limit on them like OC's.

    Fitting stuff into an economical and efficient base will become a commander skill then, rather than simply piling it all inside each other. Not too mention electricity range will cover against skulks and bile bombing gorges will have a tougher time when everything isnt in a nice tidy package.

    Genius I say.

    oh ya, and WTH!!! stop trying to kill NS's possible moment in the limelight because you dont want to have to deal with people who are new. You were new too once, and didnt have a **** idea. Just try to teach them, and help when you can, thats the pro-active way to getting those 'n00bs' to become better and help the NS community and Flay and team to get what they deserve.
