The blandness of DMs now

[SkullCandy]

Drama?

[Plasmus]

man if I could host, I would host badass stuff instead of this stuff today

[ultimamax]

Lets have a look at a DM you find regularly now:

Uses tier+tactical (Despite it being pretty damn good) -contradicts itself? if something is good and popular, is it bland?
Mostly TDM (again, a good mod.) -if it's a good mod then why do you think it's bland?
Modern warfare themed -only one i've seen is gravity cat's
Map is too big -haven't seen much of this, examples please
Most engagements are 1 on 1 -is 3 on 1 better? no. 1 on 1 is a good thing, fair and skill testing.
bland -why
nothing that makes it unique -isn't that what bland means?
Sad, isn't it?
Come on. This is blockland. Not counter-strike. we can do more than make maps.
Where did the creativity go?
We used to have GOOD dms. Hectic. Fast. Fun.
Come on guys.

At least I can still create a unique DM (see deathmatch royale and LT_Derezz

This is pretty much your average TDM, and Im not just talking about Blockland ones, they all follow the same formula.

if i get off my ass all the "dms suck richard now lol" will inspire me to make one where one enemy is advanced but has no base or games


while one only has few weapons but a base





but i'm a slow worker so yeah

[Mecha]

Okay-

-The fact that its overused and other weapons are redundant because of it is what annoys me, mostly.
-Again, overused.
-Spade's desert town, that one dark class based one - forgot who made it
-afghan. spade's desert town.
-No it isn't. it's bland. if 3 on one happens, sucks to be the one. they should have stuck with the team.
-because, see bottom
-yes

And placid: There are many other good DMS also.

Okay-

-The fact that its overused and other weapons are redundant because of it is what annoys me, mostly. -I agree. Classic Shotgun, Pump Shotgun, Tactical Shotgun? Why do we need these?
-Again, overused. -TDM is simply an organizer. It's for having people work together. Are you tired of working together?
-Spade's desert town, that one dark class based one - forgot who made it
-afghan. spade's desert town. -well afghan is reasonably small with over 15 people.
-No it isn't. it's bland. if 3 on one happens, sucks to be the one. they should have stuck with the team. -You say bland, but you don't explain why. What's bad about 1 on 1? It's one of the fairest ones.
-because, see bottom -i don't see anything? do you mean there are many other good dms also?
-yes

And placid: There are many other good DMS also.

Really, you can't argue that anything over 10% of blockland DMs are any good.

bland

I've used this pill to stop the cancer in my body and prolong my life for three months now, I'm going to stop taking it because it's bland. Even though I could ask for a new flavor, and it's the only medicine out there, I'm going to stop taking it.

Sadly, this is true.
There are a few I can sink my teeth into, though.

[Doomonkey]

To clarify my brown townogy, basically, you have the problem of bad weapons or poor organization. These two mods fix that. The two mods are pretty much the only complete fixes. You can easily add-on to these mods to make them better.

[Joker Card]

TDM's are only good if you know how to play them right. with a squad leader who tells everyone where to go.

Lets have a look at a DM you find regularly now:

Uses tier+tacticalI agree that it is a bit overused, just like in Wizard's dogfight, which was good until it had T+T.
Mostly TDM (again, a good mod.)Is this a bad thing?
Modern warfare themed
Map is too big *cough* G-cat's server *cough*. But other than that, this is mostly seen on TDMs that were to be vehicle based, but all the vehicles are scattered across the map.
Most engagements are 1 on 1Again, is this a bad thing? Also, you complain about this right after complaining about how there are too many servers that aren't lone wolf ( regular DMs).
bland
nothing that makes it uniqueThere are too many videogame-based DMs (lol, TF2), but other than that they seem pretty original.

Sad, isn't it?
Come on. This is blockland. Not counter-strike TF2 or CoD. we can do more than make maps.Like what, make our own weapons? make some bullstuff "DM +Challenge, lol"? Try to add a "cool new twist" to it? is having a good DM on a nice build with fair weapons not enough anymore for you, Mr. Mcpicky?
Where did the creativity go?
We used to have GOOD dms. Hectic. Fast. Fun. The lack of these DMs is caused mostly by vehicle usage or big maps. All other good DMs these days still have these.
Come on guys.

At least I can still create a uniqueWhat makes it unique, exactly? DM (see deathmatch royale and LT_Derezz[/size]

link to your DM's?

NOEDIT: remember before Gravitycat's firearms in late 2009, the first major weapons pack, when everyone would just mix and match to get their weapon set for the DM? It was possible because there were always weapons of about the same power. I don't mind people using weapons packs, I just hate how it's supposedly the only option for balance.

And no, the T+T isn't the ultimate god of balance. All it does is follow the standard FPS format of low-ranged, high-powered shotguns, Long-ranged, medium-high powered, low-firerate snipers, ect.
