Not the end

Lets start by saying that TZAC has helped our community to a great extend. I thank chaplja for the work he put into it.

Now on to the actual issue at hand. It saddens me that the once flourishing ET community is now a very small and negative community. Though without TZAC I believe even more people will consider quitting the scene, I do not think that ET has reached its end just yet. Keep in mind that the life ET currently has is in all of us, not just 1 software tool nor 1 man. Our spirit determines whether ET is alive or not.

For the sake of ET, stay positive and lets keep on having fun. Participate in the few great tournaments and cups that are still being hosted.

you and this guy have so much in common.

laughter
1. the action of or noise produced by laughing
2. the experience or manifestation of mirth, amusement, scorn, or joy
the act or sound of laughing

"She roared with laughter (= laughed very loudly).
As we approached the hall we could hear the sound of laughter."
Parent
Sry, but League of Legends took over
k, nice, need more TZAC journals
Here's what is going to happen:

ET will be back in the state that it was before SLAC/TZAC.
Nopb configs will be used again.
ET Leagues will enforce more rules to prevent cheaters and maybe increase their admin staff to become more efficient.
ET will have more players after TZAC vanishes.
QuoteET will have more players after TZAC vanishes.


....? If with more you mean those who are currently banned or those who are not willing to play because they can't cheat? I seem to miss the point where MORE players would show up?
Parent
You basically said it.

A lot of people decided to 'take a break' or 'quit' since they couldn't cheat anymore, taking away that thing that is stopping them to cheat = They will return like "HEY GUYS MY BREAK WAS GOOD IS TZAC STILL RUNNING? LOL"
Parent
I dont think we should see that as a positive effect....
Parent
We aren't looking at that as a positive effect.
When/IF Tzac closes down = The end for ET imo

alot of people including myself just cba to play against constant hackers
which is the inevitable if we have to bring back no pb configs..
Parent
Yea which probably leads to:

QuoteET will have LESS players after TZAC vanishes.


because i dont want to play random hackers in every single IRC war which means i wont play
Parent
True, I'm guessing the increase would be at the start, due to hackers returning, and current players staying.
However the decline will be much quicker after people who played with Tzac realize its starting to get polluted with hackers once again!
Parent
nopb config are being used even with tzac :>
Parent
2012 is near
DONT LIKE UR NEGATIVITY BR0
Parent
Ofc its not the end, i can see a lot of relatively unknown high skilled players making a comeback now!
i don't get the random whine about hackers coming back after TZAC is down. its not a problem to me at all
you like supporting/playing against cheaters? or just put your own cheats on?
Parent
supporting & own
Parent
i don't support cheaters nor use cheats myself but owning the shit out of hackers is fun :D
Parent
good luck owning kenta,jan and gnajda
Parent
And now all we need is etpro source code... someone get on at the creator and say we need it, NOW!

If you cheat after TZAC goes down, say goodbye to ET. I understand people cheat to win, and they feel they're no good... but seriously, if you do cheat, you won't have anyone else to play against. Go clean or say goodbye to your cheats and ET.
etpub is opensource and very much like etpro, given the right settings and tweaks. If someone would be up to spending his time in writing a mod for the competitive scene he would not need too much time to do so.
Parent
You're all hilarious.
im 12 and what is this
To get more players, we need to make new advertisment so that the non ETplayers get to know this awesome game. I'm currently trying to get my non etplayer friends to try it out and see what they think. Think you guys should do that too :D.

And maybe stop kicking new people from servers might help ET as well xD.
Hm yeah in a way, but the problem is the relative high level of the game. I have seen quite a lot of people just quitting ET because they never reached a decent level.

Same for people that want to start the game, it is so different from the rape and camp style you find in modern games.
Parent
Well to get better players you need more people in the game. The thing is that the non etplayers hardly knows what this game is and thats why it's almost dead. When I say Wolfenstein to my friends, either they think of the Wolfenstein 3D game or the Newest Wolfenstein game.
And if we are really in need of players go to the Jaymod servers there are a lot of players there still. ^^
Parent
Not many ppl are willing to try a 8 year old game. Maybe if we make a new mod with better graphics, and we trick them that is a new game,after a while maybe some of them will make the step to etpro :D
Parent
Well I don't think there is anything wrong with the graphics, They are a part of the beauty of ET.
Graphics don't make a game :). We need to show them the fun about ET. Like that you actually need tactics, aim and some brains to play it. Instead of Just mashing the buttons in MW3. That's why i'm still playing it anyways :D
Parent
Most of us play it for the tactics. We all use cfgs so we wont see the gfx. but the new players are blinded by the "modern games" graphics
Parent
Well people play Minecraft and the graphic there are not very good":D", but the game itself
is really fun, the same with ET
Parent
ok. whats your idea for promoting the game? how can we help you?
Parent
Well I think that we could repost a new trailer, you know like the one when you start the game or something. Tell your non etplayer friends and tell them to check it out. I mean it's free so what they got to lose.

Make a ET-movie with a mix of Low and High skilled players so that the new players doesnt get afraid to get bashed by the pros. Any Idea is good. :)
Parent
arent u permabanned?
shhh, he has an et league :D
Parent
And what about PB?..
no tzac no et
the life ET currently has is in all of us, not just 1 software tool nor 1 man

MarseilleColonel LeFrancis approves!
i'm waiting for ETxreal promode (if it will hapen)
