When to expect 2.1??

myersjr · 03-27-2008, 06:16 PM

Hey guys, first off. Good job on the last patch. I was wondering or at least trying to get an idea of how close we are to seeing the next patch?? Any ideas?? Honestly, i cant wait to see what is next up..for real..

Gator- · 03-27-2008, 07:05 PM

next patch seriously needs the in-game training program, a new site, a new media, an actual PR team going on, etc

Not saying it cant be done, but who's gonna find the time?? Some of us got kids and all that, we aint got the time bro..I know i dont. i dont mind helping people out (pointers, suggestions..) when i go on server, but there's only so much myself and others got time for..just MHO..

Well training is being worked on, new site, not too sure yet and same thing with new media even though we have the images for new media but not uploaded yet. PR Team, well not sure about that except for getting mention on Steam News.

Skanky Butterpuss · 03-27-2008, 07:40 PM

as far as i know, 2.1 is going to address some of the things that sirtiger is talking about.

all i can say at this point in time is dont start holding your breath for 2.1 just yet

Actually, that isn't a lot to ask for bud. Game has been out for 7-8 months now and we don't have the key elements to keep new players around. I agree that there is only so much marketing we can do for a mod...but the other things...like the training mode, some new media, some polishing of the site is not asking much considering how long this game has been out

greenday5494 · 03-27-2008, 08:47 PM

tell me one mod that has all those things he just asked for.

Firefox11 · 03-27-2008, 08:57 PM

There are mods out there with training mode? I don't remember many MP games/mods with training mode, unless they included a SP mode too.

However, not a lot of games or mods are as complex as FF is...

greenday5494 · 03-27-2008, 09:06 PM

exactly. except Dystopia

**squeek.** · 03-27-2008, 09:48 PM

I'm working! I just took a slight detour with myth... but I'm working.

Rutabeggar · 03-27-2008, 09:59 PM

A mod like FF almost requires a Training Mode or even an official Training Video because of the complexity and depth...but whatever, I spose we should expect new ppl to know how to double conc, juggle, trimp, make peanut butter cookies, etc...

Double concing and juggling are really not a necessary skill for anything but concmaps.

The training mode will focus more on standards jumps (drop conc, HH conc, IC/FT, rocket, pipe, EMP/rail, and frag) and movement techniques (double jumping, air control, rampsliding, bunnyhopping, skimming, and sharking).

Peanut butter cookie-making will be featured quite extensively, though.

myersjr · 03-27-2008, 10:16 PM

Sometimes you forget about that stuff cuz ur in a rush to cap..LOL..seeing as how you reminded me of those things..it would be cool to have a training mode. And they are working on one arent they?? I thought they were. Anywho, a new site might be a little too much to ask for. Besides, isnt this site everything you could want?? YOu have a forum, a place to find video, pics, etc..

Even fellow players to chit chat with.. 8p

I think our interpretation of juggling is different. I was referring to a solly shooting a guy into the air, and shooting him 1-2 more times with a rocket while still in the air.

I look forward to the cookies.

I won't redesign the site (I love it) but I fully intend to update it/get it in line with standards as soon as I can get access.

It isn't much to ask. The site is the first impression, it much look appealing, organized, and attractive. If the site looks as simple as this one, many tend to close down the tab and we lose yet another new player. I'm sure the community would love to work on a project to bring a new site....

getting new players starts with a sexy website, a pr team to advertise, and so on

t0H0 · 03-27-2008, 11:43 PM

Training mode sounds nice. I'm looking forward to it.

But I think that the main goal should be more advertising and stuff like that. FF is a great mod - but this doesn't help anyone if nobody knows that...

Circuitous · 03-27-2008, 11:47 PM

Advertising comes once training mode is done and the game is friendlier to new players.

Not going to waste time and resources on a PR campaign just to have everyone scared away by dickbag players and confusing gameplay.

Gator- · 03-27-2008, 11:55 PM

by confusing gameplay....

The training mode is suppose to take care of that, or else what's the point
