Community Updates: 7/9/12

[Guest Animoski]

I like to keep the community updated on everything that is going on, since it helps clear some confusion people may have, and may seem to even spark more interest in the community itself.

1st things off, i'm extremely happy with where our community is currently headed. Every server we have (IRC, Teamspeak, Renegade, Minecraft) has been attracting more and more people and traffic, and that is always a good thing. For a young community, we are doing extremely well.. I wholeheartedly appreciate everyone's devotion and work to the community. Everyone has a roll, whether it'd be people like Agent001 dedicating hours to fixing up our RCBOT, Cronus securing our IRC server to block possible botnets and intruders, to Shadow and BioPrince working and shaping up our Minecraft server, to various people providing feedback and input for our Renegade server. Everyone has a roll in this community, which truly make's us a place for gamers alike.

Renegade

In regards to our Renegade Marathon server, i've updated various things. Hotwires/Techis now have shotguns alongside Engis, they were considered too overpowered by many and a lot have preferred to have that balance. I've reduced the cost of Mobious/Mendozas to 800 credits only because of how they are generally unfavored due to it's lack of range compared to it's other 1000 credit peers. Arties and MRLS now have 225 health and 225 armor to offset effect snipers have on them by a little bit (we are considering doing similar to Orcras/Apaches), we also made it so SBH's can no longer pickup weapons as well as remote C4s. We have changed the crates so that there are less chances of recieving death crates, uber wires are also removed, and you can now pickup God, Thief, Kamikaze, Money Multiply, BigBoom, BlownFuse, and other various crates. We've also added another sound plugin so that now people are informed if a building has 50% health, and if death is imminent. Listen out for the new EVA sounds!

We've recently put up a FunWar server which is open for public use (provided you have the password), it will mostly be used by competitive people from the old ClanWars.cc scene, etc.

We also have an up and coming FunWar versus the [Dragon] community, to sign up, go here: http://www.rencorner...ragon-sign-ups/

Minecraft

As you may have read above, BioPrince is now a Minecraft server administrator. He's running alongside Shadow to help further configure and manage our server to ensure further stability and we will soon start a full blown promotion of our server for public use. Our goal is to have ~100 users within the next 2-3 months.

We are also very close to putting up a CoD4:MW & CoD:WaW server. We are also looking into putting up a CSS server, as well as possibly a TF2 server. If you would like to assist us in any way, you know how to get in contact with me.

If you have any comments/suggestions please feel free to reply here!

Thanks,

Animoski.

Please dont give orcas more armor.. it will change the game a lot.. Saks should be able to own orcas.. it's balanced as it is.

Spy abilities are supposed to disappear after a building is destroyed. Turrets and base defences still ignore you after you kill a building. Yesterday, a spy killed 3 buildings while base defences were still up. The only thing sbh's should be allowed to pick up is a repair gun.

I fully agree with loki

I agree with Loki as well, the greatest counter to Nod's Mobile Artillery and GDI's Mobile Rocket Launcher System has always been a Havoc or Sakura, it is an essential defense.
