Is anyone else having severe connection issues with the [new] Tempest 1 server? I connect and am automatically disconnected once I pick a team. Coincidentally, the server is completely empty.

According to the HLStatsX page, the server is and has been down for 10 hours. It still shows up in my Servers page though, so maybe you just broke it.

Fixed it. An extension was causing it to crash. Too bad too... it did some cool stuff.

Could you make random fun events available to admins? That would be super fun to have a 100% crit Friday event or something. Also alltalk. That would be nice. :D

I would let admins make a vote for all talk, people like duck, ahh crap, giller, razor, drakhen, and a lot of other regulars from Tempest, make all talk real fun, and will keep people in the server. It adds to the experience!

If Erk is in our server, its like insta all talk Killed Erkdog with backstab "DEFIANCE YOU MOTHER FUCKER BITCH, I FUCKING HATE YOU WHORE" Oh man, that is the greatest.

Server runs alltalk below 6 players automagically.


I kinda don't like alltalk for larger games. I think that's when strategy comes into play and teams like to talk amongst themselves.

Yes but when there is nothing but clan members and friends in the server it would be nice. Thats the only time it would be used is when that happens and we are all there for some good old trash talking among friends.

Well, Star Wars Galaxies got into a massive head on collision with a truck carrying gasoline, causing a massive explosion.
Star Wars Galaxies was then taken from the wreckage, raped, and beat the **** out of. It is now in a comatose, charred state, while on life support.

Yeah. There are times where there are only 8-9 people on the server for hours, but no all talk. It would just be nice for Drak/crap/etc to be able to turn it on and off.

Also, I see what you probably mean for the random events. Oh well, thought it would be fun anyway.

all talk would be nice to be able to manually change. if there's 12 people in, 6 are wdfnewsers plus another 6 that are either CMS's or one of those hax guys, it's fun playing with your buddies basically. And I've always found the server to keep growing when that happens. It's just like a "lets all play melee" when the server pop is bellow 10....but when it goes past a certain point, everyone on (because we aren't all tards) says hey, maybe it's time to play now and a message goes up along the lines of "game on wayne". The only problem I've ever had with all talk is being a spy, walking up behind giller and forgetting its all talk and anouncing an imminent backstab. But that's a sign of a different type of stupidity.

This is why all-talk would be in our control. If teams get serious about strategy or teamwork, then alltalk would be turned off. There are certainly rules and regulations that we could draft for alltalk usage--but it's worth acknowledging that a great deal of the time, teams don't engage in larger-scale strategy in public servers. If we can create memorable socialization, then people will return. Similar to having a memorable game is having a memorable conversation with other players. I know I kept coming back because of the socialization I had here.
