Is anyone else concerned with the public play NS scene?
I've been absent from it for quite a while now, and now all there seems to be are 24/7 combat servers and dumbed-down custom maps.
Has anyone else noticed this progressive entropy? Is anyone else as sick of it as me?

there are tons of good servers out there, you just have to find them.
Maybe thats because I play on my server alot, its full most of the time and although we do play alot of fun maps (siege, lemmings, etc) we have some good games on default maps too.
As of last night we also play eclipse and caged from 1.04 which imo are the best versions of the maps.
Clan play is also good atm, we played 7rounds last night with 2 diferent clans.
But seriously, a manual would really be nice to educate half the community, at least.
And clanplay is fun.
With changes to several maps, some of the old maps should play like new!

I hope not. Every map they've upgraded so far causes unstable framerate drops.
I can't play bast/rebirth/agora/metal :-/
Most customs aint that bad for about 5 minutes.
and unless there are ns_ servers (especially those who dislike combat) i dont care for combat.
Bah I'm most likely going to get owned for advertising, but every saturday at 10pm EST we have captins night, when we have all the good and regular people come along and play, so we get some games lasting up to 2 hours. If you want to play drop me your steam id and i'll try and set you up. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

NSA, the only server to ban people for requesting meds/ammo.
if you can't find good NS, look for different servers

Combat, at least it goes by fast and you can choose some limited paths and feel progress, not worrying about 1337ists screaming at you for dieing as a fade and ect.

you sir, are a liar and scoundrel!
Im at work or my wifes constantly hassling me.
So I can connect to a co map, and unless its already 8 mins in with people having 20-30 kills each, i can compete and have fun.
NS, Im about to drop an RT, and then I get interrupted and come back to a sideways view and 4 marines standing over me.
So really we are on our Highest Gaurd.
I've only rencemtly came back so I can't do anything about them other bans.

Where you live might have an influence on the quality of the games you get to play. There may not be so many people speaking your language(usually equals a less friendly atmosphere), and there might be unusually few people with nice pings.
Or, completely unrelated to where you live, the local servers might all have silly plugins. Really, it's all luck when it comes to finding a good server with intelligent players. In fact, you might have been on servers where there are usually way better games, but the time you spent there didn't have any good games because the regulars weren't awake at the time.
I would write more but I just realized how discontinous I'm getting, so I'd better stop,

voogru doesn't have a rule about banning people who bunnyhop and or achieve a kill ratio above of 2:1
Don't forget why the co mode was introduced, to practice and give the new players an easier start.
I think you're right.. Flay added in the option to have it so that co_ maps start ONLY when there are a low amount of players (because who wants to play ns_ maps with only 8 players?)
It's in a server config file somewhere, it just seems that no one takes advantage of it. 20-24 player combat games are a mindless waste of time (much like custom maps).
ya man, that entropy's really starting to get to me. in a few billion years, ****, the entire universe's just gonna collapse on itself with all that entropy going around.

Well, it's mostly the NS community that's going to "collapse," with the only exception being the esoteric clan scene of which I understand you are a part. You're an example of why I (and many other NS players who hate e-brats) don't want to join a clan. Pick up a dictionary, or go watch some anime or whatever you do; something other than heckel the forums.
For some people computer gaming is a waste of time at all... For me if people enjoy 32 player combat games... It is not a waste of time... If people enjoy playing custom maps... It is not a waste of time...
The problem is that the taste of some people do not fit with the others... And most server ops tend to configure their servers for the taste of majority... We welcome newbies; but most of them only like to play co... They sure give a shot to ns classic...But as they get bored so quick... they lame up and start acting noob to destroy the game; until server switches to another co map...
There are too much newbies... More than ns community can handle... And some of the regulars already started to give up...
In TwP clan server we just cycle co... yes most of the rounds are so annoying...
But not as annoying as trying to play a classic game with that people... So we just hangaround making some frags, until we have enough mature players or regulars online... then we just kick the rest... lock the server and enjoy epic games of ns classic...
