ET- competitive future?

Hey guys,

our community is getting smaller and smaller each day. There are still some public players but we are losing competitive players.

Do you still believe that there is a future for ET in 2013? (competitive-wise)

Public-wise we still have some activity.
We have like 2-3 active ETPro-Publics and some publics with other mods.


Do you think leagues like CB , ESL should still support this game? Or should they close the ET section because it is not worth it?

ET is death, it truly is.
to bad you ain t yet, but is just a matter of time monkey boi
Parent
I do believe in competitive play in 2013. As more and more players (mostly veterans/known ones) disappear, there is more room for newcomers ( this was all ready seen this EC ).
NC is coming up + the Polish LAN. So yeah, I do believe in ET !

Hopefully people will come back to it =)
I hope , it would be pretty cool to see some activity again. At least to see more signups in cups.
Parent
Even basic 3on3 ODC's don't have more than 4 sign-ups...
Parent
Perhaps there were new faces in EC, but no one cared about them. Heck even a bunch of people didn't know EC was going on lol
I do believe 2013 is the last year for our beloved game, I can't see anything miraculous happen that would save the game.
Parent
yeah and that 2nd team in the EC final was a joke
Parent
I have no idea what team you're talking about :P
Parent
How's those Polish players a joke? They played well, didn't they? Can't see you anywhere in the top cups/ladders, so might as well ignore this comment.
Parent
ure proud to be in the top of cups/ladders from a dead game?
ET is moneydead so why even bother about it. go buy new game and try to become good there so u can add some real achievements to ure list.
Parent
precious gayming achievements, aight! They add brightness to ones life
Parent
yea i fucking nerd alot, biggest nerd around. i just mean that if u spend time behind ure pc that much, then u better get something back for it. or use ure time usefull and go outside try to fuck a girl (if that doesnt work u should mayby try a boy)
Parent
absolutely agree, those 99% who play games w/o a chance of winning prizemoney are such nerds, why are they even trying esports, silly them!
anyways, homosex is just not right, I do not wish to see people encouraging that, especially when being from holy ethiopia
Parent
i hate gays, disease that god forgot to delete from the world
Parent
So having an achievement in EC isn't an achievement? Are you even reading what you write? If you're so certain of this DEAD game, why are you even talking here. Should go find another gamepage and talk there? If you're being egoistic with me being proud, then you should seriously go fuck yourself.
Parent
gl with nerding in ure future life, u dont get my point so ure disease is not to be cure.
Parent
What the fuck did I just read.
Parent
you have a point, well at least i know i don t play for money, mostly publics, and if you are so tempted about making money out of competitive video gaming and you think this is the life for you than good luck with it.(unforgiven)
Parent
i dont game, still mad at me?
Parent
i couldve been if i had wasted my time on a dead game
Parent
can't really see why youre defending them, you should also see how this is all a joke.
a year or so ago they barely made premier, now theyre in EC grand final? its not personal against them, its just that its a big joke
Parent
Barely made premier? b2k was a good team for 1-2 years imo :O
Didn't know that practice DOESNT make players/people better.... Just can't wrap my head around how jealous other people can be....
Parent
im not jealous at all, im just commenting on ETs current state
Parent
Yeah, well, the thing nowadays with this community is that no one cares about anything/anyone but themselves. There are so many flamers/egoistic nerds/loads of retards, who think that they're the best and that's that. Just sad how community treats the game they love and other people who play this game this way. Some of them are joking about it, but clearly not always.
Parent
You say it yourself; this is the community around ET.
Now can you see a future with these people in 2013? I certainly can not, and you can't replace the 100 "active" players with 100 new, more-motivated, ones
Parent
Well, the word "active" in terms of NC / LAN isn't wrong I think. I couldn't care less about those people, but I care about those, who want to stick to this game for as long as it's possible to have a good time playing.
Not so concerned about the replacement of players. If players are dropping and new ones aren't coming then let it be, im just hoping/thinking that there's a possibility that ET will be still in some sort of active form in the year 2013.
That's what I meant to say.
Parent
NC doesnt really count though, lots of inactive players come back just to represent their country, just to dissapear again. I know i'll probably return and play NC just to quit again.

edit: maybe that was what you meant, nvm my comment then :p
Parent
I certainly can not see a future of this comunity , because monkeys playing et or admining that is a hard nightmare and normal ppl will never allow such things to happen. monkeys are good for entertaining humans at zoo , nothing more
Parent
listen to yourself, why woudl any1 give a flying fuck about people they dont or hardly know lol.
Parent
Can you explain the sentence to me again? since, I find it difficult to understand, what you just tried to prove.
Parent
you said that these days people do not care about anything/anyone but themselves.
and i am saying, why would they care about others.
Parent
Well, the word "community" has "caring" as one of many factors I think. At least, I would assume it does.
Why wouldn't they care about others? This is just a plainly stupid question tbh :D
Parent
Newcomers as in cheating faggots who could never compete at a certain level?
Parent
As in who? :O
Parent
i do believe that soon sinnu has a chance to be one of the skilled players compared to rest of the people in ET :D:D:D
Parent
well... i just installed the game again few days ago, and its rly hard to get decent 3o3 game. So i assume 6o6 is even worse or even impossible to play :D i would say that 2013 will be more like last year of this game
ET has been dead for some time, and I don't see 2013 reviving it, no.
DirtyBombGame 2013.
looks similiar to brink and i feel the same fail in my bones :D
Parent
If DB is a success, these discussions are soon forgotten
Parent
AS LONG AS ANIM PLAYS IT, IT WILL NEVER DIE
ESL & CB should back off, because people dont know how to appreciate what they get from these org (for example huge amount of dropouts in group stage (teams don't even play a single game!), negative comments under newspost about how et is dead, or how cups last too long, or how shit players play in finals, and so on). Maybe they will learn how to behave properly when there wont be any tournaments to take part in.
don't know why you pay attention to those inbreds
Parent
Words from my mouth.
Parent
eh they got nothing aside from poorly ogranized cup?
+ you want to punish those who are still willing to play because of the comments/dropouts of those who clearly dont care about the game anymore
Parent
Admins should verify the list of clans first to make sure whether some of the teams still exist (cause they signed up to the tournament like 3 weeks earlier). If they do that and they got no-shows + no backup from the community - then they can get pissed off.
Parent
Admins should speak English
Parent
Yeah, that's the obvious requirement :)
Parent
And yet Goldorak is game supervisor :D
Parent
Which is funny because first requirement on the list when applying for any admin/ref spot is GOOD SPOKEN AND WRITTEN ENGLISH :D
Parent
they shoul have another requirement: no bad teeth and arms shaved
Parent
why when you made this website you gave admin powers to retards? big mistake i hate you for this
Parent
I didn't, I've left CB back then.
Parent
Monkeys should not be allowed on i net
Parent
we did it, +/- 16 clans wasn't allowed to participate to this OC and honestly it change nothing regarding the amount of drop even on clans with well known players
Parent
AS LONG AS ANIM PLAYS IT, IT WILL NEVER DIE
Ye maybe if there is a lan. Online cups without prizes are pretty much dead
i jak, wygraliscie juz jakies pieniadze w komputerze? konta do hona chociaz?
Parent
o jebany low powrocil :DD
Nie, dalej gramy non stop w oczekiwaniu na przyszly miliony, dzieki Bogu konta do hona za darmo teraz sa
Parent
your mama kurwa mac it is
Parent
csgo is the future
its born dead brah
Parent
fps scene was born dead
Parent
in comparison to lol, yeah probably. but then lol was born dead compared to wow. or wow was born dead compared to football or football was born dead next to masturbation. what is the point in comparing differing passtimes, fps isn't dead right now at all, people just spread out.. millions of people play FPS games now just not all dedicated to Quake, CS, CoD etc. there are so many games for newbies to play these days, imagine people weren't spread over 3 different CS games and everyone moved to the newest. the scene would be huge.

there are like 3 CS games atm, neither of the new ones succeeding over its predecessor. CSS has always been less active than 1.6, CSGO still is less active than CSS. both CSS+CSGO together don't reach the playerbase of 1.6 and nobody realises that they are going to kill themselves by splitting up so much d;
Parent
etlive will give it a few years of life imo
When did you hear from it last time?
Parent
closed alpha post by marcus 2 weeks ago or smth
Parent
hi Devito :)
CS:GO + DirtyBomb
You're the dirtybomb ;$
Parent
Most public servers are dead/bad/or play oasis and such standard crap, so yeah, ET is pretty dead
servers like hirntot plays such crap like oasis and they are full. your argument is stupid my dear friend. go play supply and goldrush and delivery till you grow old

Ok, bro, and I like supply and delivery
Parent
so much madness here..

also same opinion and hope like sinnu
that guy in your avatar is al capone. are you a gangsta?
Parent
ET has been what, 7 years without a single patch, update, or a serious game balance?? The question you should ask should be how is this game still alive and look at the positives of how we managed to keep such an non-supported game alive for so long rather than trying to revive something which is almost definitely dead.

Efforts should be put on ETLive or if that dies/fails like any ET mod revival project before it, everyone should move as a community, to the new Dirty-Bomb-Game, it's going to be free - get dedicated professional (ET/RTCW) modders with a mixed team of high skill and low skill players which can give their feedback about how to improve the game (do not revolve the game around high skill cap only, remember, you need your game to be a bit newb friendly to get gamers to play it). Easy to play, but hard to master, should be the aim.

My 2€
Make a list of what made ET a successful games, analyse every aspect of this, make another list on what ET failed to accomplish, how we could have fixed this, what we could have done better and apply them to the new future/game the community chooses, stay open minded as much as possible, cos it's not like an ET-SW- mode game gets released every week, and this one is going to be free, it's probably ET's biggest chance to move on just like RTCW moved to ET. Could write a whole column about it but I'm not even sure if the site is even that active from like 2-3 years ago.
Parent
Dirty-Bomb really?

it looks like all other shit shooter (BF or CoD)..

My 2.50€

QuoteDirty-Bomb-Game

And here i stopped reading. UT3 engine = Piece of crap.
Parent
good point on dirtybomb, the problem here is that most probably don't have faith in it. :D if only wolfenstein hadn't been made like such a cod wnb, at a stage like this the community could have moved over to a new similar game. :/
Parent
yes

always when there's some random cup with prizes, "top" players will appear from the shadows like meerkats trying to win some money because they have no jobs, your clowns and nights for example
Like Anexis did? :)
Parent
well not quite, anexis had players that actually have lives...
Parent
Yea but that part where they only played cups with prizes
Parent
Well yeah maybe.
Parent
that is surely something terribly negative for the competitive scene and its community, but at the same time players like maus/xylos probably wouldn't have continued playing if not with anexis. so the limited amount of cups they played can be looked at as lame, or an extension to the activity of some MVPs who would have quit if they didn't join that team.
Parent
Can see RTCW and ET **special** cups working but no regular ET action

Hopefully DirtyBomb will work out but I don't think it will, history isn't in its favour. Other games have taken away ET's players aswell as that thing known as real life. Shame really but it happens.

7 years is a pretty good length of time, be proud of it! ET will be in everyone's hearts.
I thought ETLIVE was going to be released before Christmas :/
Important journal, maybe someone has the final idea :) GL!
et is death gg
ClanBase should and will continue to support ET, regardless of its activity or what other leagues do
