Author Topic: can we talk about the state of servers on this game right now?  (Read 12292 times)

almost every single massively populated server is, to be frank, complete stuff. hell, some of them are really fun (even though most are heavily flawed) but the part of these servers that is so awful are the people on them. i'm gonna try to break down why i think these servers are massive failures. in most of these servers, the way the gamemode/minigame is designed is atrocious. in most cases, the second the player joins the odds are stacked against them. not only do they have to climb to the top, but the people already at the top make sure to make it as hard as possible for them to make it there. whether it be owning some sort of monopoly over the server resources or destroying any opportunities any new players might have, they always find a way. this creates 3 groups of people who are willing to actually stay in the server for this garbage. one group who is winning, one who is losing and ok with it, and one who is sick of losing, so they do everything in their power to be the biggest starfish they can. it's like if somebody trapped you in a cage and you just started spamming the alarm emote in the hopes it would annoy them so much you would be let go. or like when the flying dutchman got rid of spongebob after capturing him because he was so annoying. possibly the worst of all is the admins and hosts supporting this system. generally, the admins try their hardest and are pretty trustworthy people, although that is very clearly not the case in some of these servers. the hosts in most servers are so loving awful that it destroys any potential their server had. they dont care about their own rules, they ignore everybody on the server, and if you have a complaint or criticism you can be damn sure they're gonna say "if you don't like it then leave." why should they care if people like the server or not, the server attracts those 3 aforementioned groups of morons like moths to a felt-covered flame.

where im going with this is please, please host good servers. even something as simple as go-kart is better than something like the above. even stuffty family rps are better than this if the host isnt a talking trashcan. this game has so much potential, and i hate seeing it go to waste.

Stop complaining and host a better server, then. If you can't host for whatever reason, put together a game mode for other people to host with.

This.

the point isnt that i think i have better ideas, it's that im trying to point out why the current ideas belong in the trash. this is the kinda stuff im talking about, with the attitude of deflecting criticism by saying "i'd like to see you do better!"

look to the past


sometimes you have to rely upon yourself

It's more like telling you to stop being a couch activist.
All you do is complain that SOMEONE should change stuff when you're perfectly capable of making the change.

holy smokes were things great, but im not going to pull up nostalgia about it

im gonna be honest: i dont have the time nor skill to actually create a unique server of my own but i know enough about this to know that what's happening here should not be happening. if people were actually more vocal about the type of stuff that they dont want to see in the server list they would become a lot less popular and, in exchange, appear less. im not forcing anyone to make a good server themselves, but i implore you to not do that stuff if you make one.

If only Destiny RPG, Jorgur's RPG, and StoneQuest still existed...

I am hosting the best server in the world right now.
