    Complaining? Well call it what you want. There are over 400 servers running. 3 are full. Voogru is ALWAYS full.

    If you don't like it; please do us a favor, and don't come take slots for people that want them.

    BTW - thanks for all the great advertisement.

    voogru rocks!! the mod it has makes it easier to get a hive up early in the game. you can give your resources to a hive to hold or to your team mates. But its always full <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> I suggest gett'n info on it b4 you join the server because most ppl on it are already pro and it'd just make things easier

    yuk moded mods. If the developer intended the changes, they would be there. No voogru for me.

    The biggest problem I have with Voogru is admin abuse, as stated in another thread about admins auto-killing members of the opposing teams, giving themselves god mode, etc. It happens far too often on voogru. (Twice in a week of playing there for me, and thats two times too many.)

    I have never seen this and voogru is one of the servers that I play the most. I play on voogru for the big games good skill level of most players o and I can get 30 or 40 ping there. I don't care about the mods on the server. I think any mod is better than the lanvancover mod (which happens to be the other server I play most the time) I mean come on who really likes the lasers???

    The thing I like best about Voogru is the Health at the Armory. I personally have never noticed any admin abuse, and I play there frequently (when it's not full). I don't think the Health @ Armories hurts gameplay at all. As for the other mods they implement, some are good some are bad. Playing on Voogru is still a good time.

    Yeah I agree the laser thing is stupid as hell, but what do you expect? They're canadian.

    This admin abuse on voogru was a few weeks ago, when it was early 1.02, so maybe they've gotten better. I'll check it out later.

    It's not to bad now req...they were taking a bit of adavantages ealier on a bit ago but...seems to be calmed down. At least they are there to boot annoying players and what not. Oh, and yea, it's almost always full. However I was in last night and...my marines couldn't work together to save thier lives...had a couple good troopers but...One marine can't do to much alone most of the time.

    You are correct, and that problem has been resolved a while ago. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> It was lame, I agree. I think you'll find no abuse by any admin, or player (even the n00bs).

    We have some of the best competetion out there. Some time you should check server list. Very few are full.

    Voogru has written some of the nicest additions I've seen. I don't think you'll see that kind of behavior again from the referring admin. Come by and lets have war. <!--emo&::siege::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='siege.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Don't be so ignorant. Only makes you sound incredibly stupid.

    I've never seen any abuse on voogru, and I like most of the additions, all except the glowing resource nodes, which just looks way too out of place.

    my $0.02

    No.

    Yeah, he has the rights, but you're entitled to do whatever the hell you want, it's only a sever-side mod. You put in the liblist file (err, I think) for the mod to use a different DLL, and that DLL uses the NS DLL. There is no actual modification of any NS files, aside from the simple text file.

    It's like AdminMod.

    Anyone who wants to play a fair game of NS DO NOT PLAY ON VOOGRU!!

    Those awesome guys give weapons to marines all the time. No it hasn't stopped. And don't listen to King Cheater because I just played on a server about a night or 2 ago and he was handing weapons out to the marines left and right.

    It was a constant "Admin used command Give XXX to Marine"

    It's just plain wrong. DO NOT PLAY ON THEIR SERVERS.

    Just a warning. I might suggest plenty of other fun servers without wanker admins. Try TFZ, Coronas in Space, Shrevenet, Fists of Ra, and pretty much anyplace other than Voogru.

    I'd agree with the anti-voogru sentiment. Playing on a server where there's an Armory in each room for wuss-Marines to top up their health, cheating Admins unbalancing the game... and the glowing nozzles are just fugly, honestly enough.

    My favorite 'clean' servers tend to run more toward the 'Got Rice?', 'WOLF Den' and ':3am: big apple ownage' servers. Good people to play with, and no BS mod-mods to screw up the game balance.

    oh boy. I'm so glad you feel that way about it. That will most certainly save a slot for someone else that really wants it.

    btw - www.voogru.com is a work in progress, just like NS it's self. If you don't want to play on servers testing, great.

    OH YA - we got a new command; It bans the commander for <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> # of mins. ban commander 50 would ban commander for 50 mins.

    he gets slayed.

    I just don't like the way he modifies without thinking about balance.

    OK TO DO: Adding a health vending machine that costs 2 credits per health pack vended

    WHAT HE DOES INSTEAD: Free health

    Hello... balance?

    Voogru is terrible. None of the people I play with (12 ppl at my 'Netcafe' i-netgamezone.com) even consider voogru as a server choice. People rather play on Ep!k which crashes every map or some server with 5 people because only the most messed up noobs are interested in [Anti-Grav][Matrix]****NeoTF*** servers...which is what voogru turns into surprisingly often.

    Well good cost the marine team a res point, I see no problem with the way it is now.
  • Lord_RequiemLord_Requiem Join Date: 2002-11-20 Member: 9481Members
    Lt. Ripley: that has been my opinion: Voogru isn't even a server choice for me, even if it has an open slot. I pass every time based on the type of game that goes on there. I feel the modifications are unbalancing and heavily favour marines (already too powerful when played well).

    Hot tip: Don't like it, don't play there.

    Voogru's the one who codes and runs the thing. If he want's to mess around on his own server, he can. When you run a server, you can do it however you want.

    I wholeheartedly agree.

    I played on Voogru twice, both times it was an experience that one would not call enjoyable.

    *severely* unbalanced.

    I've been playing on Voogru's server recently, and I really like the Aliens ability to share resources to the hive. Last night our team worked together and we got a hive up within 5 minutes of the start.
