If there are 8000 ET Players playing right this second, don't think we can claim ET is dead, maybe we should do something to get these players to play etpro and register on CF,CB,ESL and introduce them to the Competitive scene rather than just etpro,etpub,jaymod,NQmod.

just check the top 100 servers of ET: http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=serverlist&order=player full of etpub,jaymod,NQmod servers.

How about making a small project to promote this scene instead, now i know there is the ET Ult.Ins, how about making something like Q3/CPMA did and just made a download link for their game, and the user only needs to downloading and run the game instantly without the need for installing & doing all the 2.6b patching, etpro 3.2.6 mod, getting 2498429 errors from PB before actually playing etc.

Made an ET Folder with just etmain, etpro PB and correct et.exe & etded.exe (and usualy docs stuff etc), the folder is only 250MB without compressing it.

ET is not ever dead yet, there is almost a map every day: http://et.splatterladder.com/ and even remakes of "our comp" maps such as bremen braundorf etc

Unlike games like CoD2, ET has an increase in players and servers, so we shouldn't just give up without doing anything.

wow, just wow.. make another journal when bfbc2 comes out.

and you forgot to mention this

hahaha, even bf2 has more players than et! :'DDD
great idea, but what to do
Make a nicely organised presentable ETPromotion on every ET related forum (et.splatterladder, enemy-territory.com, etpub forums, jaymod forums, noquarter forums, and maybe spark up some interest to the other large communities such as tek9 cadred esreality etc)
Parent
I think promotion directly on the etpub/jaymod etc. servers would be even better. in this case you have to talk to the serveradmins.
Parent
why dont you make a competition for them.
Parent
8000 player online

7500 lowskill

even if we show them the "scene" we will have a bunch of lowskilled teams then :x
do you think all top teams started from highskill? One positive thing for sure would be ET would be much more active and won't be playing the same opponents over and over and over again.
Parent
okay good luck with your plan.



wake me up in 3-4 years when they became pros :D
Parent
some players stuck in jaymod do have potential/motivation to become better.
Parent
+1

I have seen some jaymod-players in finnish scene who have recently moved to etpro and imo some of them are capable of becoming really good
Parent
I smell BossSausage
Parent
You dont see any etpro-player doing 60acc every day
Parent
hf pmming top50 splatterladder
Parent
most of those are actually pretty bad since splatterladder is based on the amount of xp you get per minute ;/
Parent
hmm..then i cant tell you who to message:/
Parent
they only whore with med packs :D
Parent
once saw 2 of a funclan..eng axis & cov allie building&destroying frostbite's axis cp all map long =D
Parent
well i saw quite alot of worst stuffs there, like taking covie and stealing enemy's uniforms just to get more xp :x or thorwing 1000 of med packs at spawn.
Parent
3-4 years?

u never came pro and how long do u allready play? XD
Parent
haha thouth the same Xd
Parent
im hopeless :D
Parent
WAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOW FUNNY !!!!!
Parent
:O wow, WHAT A REPLYYYYYYYYY
Parent
more people are playing minesweaper atm as wolf :D
incoming patch will change this!
Parent
What tells you that those "casual pubbers" will want to join teams and start playing competitively?
what tells you they wont? And what if we don't do anything? Do you think players will magically switch to ETPro or try out ET? If we fail atleast we would have done so trying, not just looking around waiting for ET to die a natural death.
Parent
There's thousands lying around public jaymod on .55 and patched. Should get them to sign up to cF and work from there.
exactly but we can make it easier for them by just giving them the ET Folder to just run et.exe and be ready to play.
Parent
Well if you do that, I take my hat off to you
Parent
then do it, maybe it gonna work :)
Parent
well its hard, since most of them doesnt even have clue how to install 2.6b patch and u would spend hours on explaining that stuffs to every single one, most would just quit it bcoz etpro is harder then jaymod and ppl want fun only.
Parent
i haz 125 fps no lag.i like et now :D
Well most of players are just begginers and playing for "fun" on jaymod which is i think the most active atm, with some 50 and 60 slots servers beeing full over whole day, make quite alot of traffic but half of these ppl dont even know that etpro exist or anything else from competition scene.
Good idea but PB doesn't like no registry entires, so all registry entries would have to be added by hand or .bat file.

PM me KB and we can do something about this.
you got IRC? if not xfire or msn
Parent
Not atm since not using my comp. I have xfire so add me, I'll PM you it will be on later when mum and dad have gone lol.
Parent
Doesn't make the slightest bit of difference If you have ET installed in windows or if you just copied over a folder, some people have been using same folders for 4 and 5 years with no problems with pb.
Parent
Well I tried to copy my ETMAIN and folder to USB and then back to my new install and it wouldn't load for shit just error error error. PB kicked me after I got it working (some files was replaced with new ones (pak0). I moved from Windows XP to Windows7 X64.
Parent
It works, and you copy the whole directory not the etmain :\
Parent
Why would I want to take over etpro with like 4 demos in? I was using ETU INSTALLER so etpro was installed. Do you know anything about comps? Like programming languages? You could be some help if so.
Parent
when you dont post for cb, you post some nice idea :>

wow, i guees 80% of em are playing jaymod or on other fun-pubs. Competive ET is dead and thats it
oh so lets just be the typical crossfire community and look around and do nothing and watch ET die (while it actually isn't, Players & Servers are always increasing so you can't say it's dying)
Parent
dunno about players, but the servers aren't increasing, there's less servers everyday :/
Parent
well not really, at jaymod quite alot new servers re made since new clans re starting everyday and with it also new servers coming, prob is half of those servers are dead :x
Parent
saw +3200 in the start of the summer @ splatterladder, now there's about 2630
Parent
thats not my point. Like i stated several times, i guess it would be a good idea too involve jaymod/pub-gamers into the scene, but i doubt, that we would have any success.

btw: there is allready such an ET pack :o or are you thinking about something else?
Parent
make it 8500 players
i will join for it!!!!!!!!!!
WTF I made a topic about helping ET and you all moaned, you are all two faced bitches :D.
helping et by making a new izilowskill mod isnt the way to help it sorry
Parent
very innovative idea to make an etpack, good job killerboy
those jaymod players are more skilled than there is in ec today

go and see yourself

e: im not sure what the replies were implying but what i didnt mean that ec is full of lesser skilled players but that theres some real talent in jaymod publics
cough system6 cough
Parent
*oc 1st div
Parent
Maximo Decimo is a jaymod/etpub champion. if goes etpro we're all d00med
Parent
you can't force people to play 'competitively', but the idea's great atleast for players who'd like to try/start playing ET.

all the times when people been asking for a new game to play, telling about ET. next day: 'yeah, i didn't get it working, got some error all the time.'
most ppl gave up bcoz of pb tbh :p
Parent
had to go to my friend's house to install it :D
Parent
trust me, having to much probs bcoz of that with friends, some of them quited et bcoz of pb probs. Really would be good to see antipro out soon :>
Parent
alot of people still play 2.55 aswell
Need to look at this from a different angle, JAYMOD is the way forward not etpro


:DD lalallallaaaaalaaa
comparing it with a dead game? (cod2, wont talk bout wolf since it was nver alife)... :D
i'm comparing it with CoD2 cos there is only a few player difference playing it atm, and cod2 is almost as old as ET.

Just check the competitive difference between cod2 & et:

http://clanbase.ggl.com/ladders.php?gid=58

ET has 317 ladder matches a month
CoD2 has 17,000 ladder matches a month
CoD1 has 450

you can obviously see where the problem in ET is, competitive scene.
Parent
lolol u win!
Parent
Go do it yourself, noone else will / cares.

which is even older than ET
Well even if ET isnt the best game in the world, it draws damn close!
Parent
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA dude pls ;d one reason people dont play competetive et is fact, that et dont have pernament bans !
not rly, that would decrease the number of online players rather than increasing it.
Parent
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


hint look pubs, the game is alive due to the fakt admins baning cheating trashes from servers pernament. but ofc fantastic idea to date ban in cb keaping only old cheating scums playng this game.You can think whatever you whant but its cheaterloving competetive ET.

go unban someone from etbot list only cos hi give you acc from nC, and he can still play this game, and you think decisions like this helping et.
Parent
kboy + unbanning someone from netCoders list is quite a good joke, thanks for the laugh.
Parent
hahaha how about zelot nc customer from last list, unexpected disappear from nc list and now whit new nick on cf ? :D

how about alexl ? how menny times unbaned ?


e* howw about gnajda playng on 3 acc on cb ? :D


e2* you are a joke mate , whit your decisions.
Parent
you make poland single-handedly look bad, congradz.
Parent
have nothig to do whit country.
Parent
obviously it does because

alexL unbanned many times on CF? What do hell do i have to do with Crossfire, have you noticed i was never a CF admin?

All gnajda's 3 CB Accounts have been banned for months

inventing stuff to prove a point doesn't work.
Parent
so as a cb admins you dont making decisions on cf ? funny cf admins then allowing him here ! cheaterloving trashes.


gnajda still whit 3 acc on cb. gl hunting him

and still unbaning nc customers is not the way to help et. + the exemple of not banned cheaters on cf is just epic , i guess its not your fault but gay cf admins dont giving a fuck about that.
Parent
he is on new provider whit new ip, so i guess you cant iven ban him if you dont have proof its him. and 2 of them are old cb acc buyed from some tards.no idea about nick's, but if i get them i will tell you.

e* not iven sure if the 2 buyed acc its related to et ;d
Parent
Disagree - out of the 8000 a very low percentage will be in the 'competitive scene'. Jaymod/NQ/Pub are fun, CB/ESL can be more of a chore, having to prac and be there in time for officials.

For most it's just a friday night in of clicking 'firing for effect'.
afaik there are many 5on5 clans playing wars in etpub/jmod/nq, and ofc they will only play pub if you don't show them the good side of prac/officials, what do you have most fun from winning an official/war or fragging on a pub.
Parent
But losing a official is even more demoralizing. Not to mention the amount of low+ bashers in 3on3.et as i type this. Praying on bad and weak squads.

Showing them this side to it would be so hard, I agree with what you're saying and think yes, it would be a good idea. But they will know what ETpro is, but it will be too hard and boring for them.
Parent
true, but i think we have a chance to attract the people that are bored of the "un-serious part" to those mods, and etpro might be what they were looking for.
Parent
there has been a decrease in etpro servers thou !
world recession!
Parent
How about getting the fuck off from your CB supervisor status ?

With much more low teams in OC you would then be able to win without having to forfeit. Could be interesting, for sure.
No, that's you.
Only a kid can abuse of his admin rights in order to win fuckface.
Parent
learn to read the rules, crying will then decrease.
Parent
Sure, pretend you were absolutely right to do so...
You're responsible of the death of ET, many people don't play CB cups anymore because of you.

Wanna save ET ? Terminate your inet acces.
Parent
what did you do to save ET?
Parent
I don't think ET needs to be saved. And still, I'd survive if it has to happen. Would you ?
Parent
just make a fuckin program to stop these sad hacker nerds.
these bummers think they own, ''omg i winz, with hack :XDD, LOL? U THINK I HACK? BUST ME THEN:XD 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, SURE UR JUST LOW :XDDDDD''
lol killerboy thats exactly what i thought when i played pub today :D
just bring back oasis, battery, karsiah etc. and the mappool also looks nice and maybe you could put that supply winter edition to clanbase just because its winter time or smth, would be at least a little change

just pick like 50 players who spams the etpro promotion on etpub/jaymod servers
+1! need oldschool maps, expecially oasis
Parent
any news with antipro btw? i think alot of ppl also waiting for it imo.
any news with antipro btw? i think alot of ppl also waiting for it imo.
Parent
Killerb0y you are really cool (L)
Wolf =D
promote the game by not doing bullshit decisions and acting like a prick, thx
like u do?
read the rules next time
Parent
i act like a prick? look at your emoself first
Parent
8000, awesome number! Not.

7500 non ETpro players including 6500 noobs.

It's not even close to be a big number. ET scene is dead and there's nothing you can do to revive it. Leave dead alone! Only nerds, ET addicts and cheaters left.
CoD2 has 9000 players, and yet they played 17,000 ladder matches a month, so why don't we try to promote the scene?
Parent
Because COD2 isn't as splitted as ET is? Or they have dozens of MODs as well?
Parent
i don't know, but you are probably right.
Parent
All because of ET's curse - the fact it's a free game and it's easy to modify.
Parent
they got 2 patches and for cb is only one running i think.
Parent
u want a newfag scene :D most of the people who play the game on nq jaymod etc...are noobs and the most are not interessted in playing this game on a Competitive level
Wrong idea, what should be done is put more effort into getting ET out there like ad's and posts etc,

an unrealistic example, if there were 10 tv adverts for ET on TV in some random country there would be a huge surge in players simply because its free people will try it
RELOEd or mAus should help you with saving et
Ask them to do a little move, e.g:

"Hi, i'm RELOEd. I won everything - cups/lans etc . I just pwn n00bs and now i'm bored. I cant find a good opponents all the time then i would like to present you a ETPRO MOD which lets you become a hero like me"
"h3h3h3"
:=D
Parent
Quotehow about making something like Q3/CPMA did and just made a download link for their game

what are you referring to?
a download link for etpro lol
Parent
i completely agree with you killa! Promotion thing is a great idea and i beleive ET will be more challanging if we make ppl download the ready version of Etpro :)
I really appreciate your behaviours and interest in ET u are god damn useful! :)
shut down servers from .55, .56
so useless
well it would be cool to somehow redirect it do 2.6b patch so only one patch would be running for whole community and im sure etpro would get alot active by that.
Parent
Nice concept tbh, maybe introduce more comps/leagues?
get that Default guy from NEXUS
700 euros and KRP will make sure there wont be anyone playing 2.55 or jaymod or anything else than etpro in 1 month
7x 100€ paysafecards
ok?
Parent
ET will never die until a better game comes out. In fact, it's growing more everyday instead of dying. I do think an "ETPro" installation and a site is a good idea. If heavily promoted, it can become the main source to download ET - new players can be drawn in competitively straght away. Of course, you're going to need a lot of documentation on how to play since it's not an easy game like CoD4. Simple things that most pub players will never come across unless they start playing competitively, such as cg_autoreload 0 and so on.
people dont understand, we dont want to "force" them to play etpro we just want to light them up and maybe _few_ of them will join to the right side :p
:)
