Server Message

Postby tals » Wed Oct 15, 2008 9:02 am

Thankyou for adding in the lobby chat - great improvement. Could you have the ability to enter a server message.

eg a message to be displayed when a player joins the lobby. The messages I think would be particularly useful would be afk messages.

While I second the notion that server messages would be great, for your use case, just saying "I'll be back soon, just fetching my coffee" should suffice. Players joining late see the previous chat.

I hadn't appretiated that. In which case it's not really needed :( or maybe a :D to the devs.

Now we just need more people playing this baby

Maybe there are some people not buying the game for some reasons, or get beaten by the AI and don't want to blame themselves online.

People who get beaten by the AI do because the AI cheats with crates. It's true, it does.

I really don't know what information you beta testers got, if the source code or game internal information was included, but that's a very cheap way to "improve" the AI. But almost every game uses this cheap trick. Even Super Smash Bros. Melee: Just set the directional influence higher than a human can achieve, we're done.

That's not a cheap trick, THIS is a Cheap Trick.

The AI knows what you are going to do, even before you do it. I saw it, it's coded into the game!
