ThunderJam Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 Lemme say something before I get into the rest of this, I know a lot of you guys got a chip on your shoulder against Desert Storm, but keep in mind that I have been one of you guys that has bashed them over the past several years. MYself and LTNirvana (previous sysop and owner in ds) returned to staff for development, and the zone has made a lot of progression lately. Primarily the two of us, with Witchie NL have been creating a project we call dsv3 for the past 2 months, and we are finally ready to release it. If you guys would like to join us, the release date will be this saturday, the 29th. We plan to load the stuff sometime around noon (EST). Given that we have enough population, we plan on hosting some fun and events sometime between 2-4pm EST and 7-9pm EST incase you guys would like to drop by just then. The project itself returns ds to the turf and powerball gameplay that some of you may remember from ds's past. There is a new tileset, new ship graphics, return to old settings, new map loosely based on the flagging map that has been in pub, and a little more. Should be a good time, I hope some of you guys will take a bit of time to check it out. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/tman563/scorched-earth/screenshot27.png http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/tman563/scorched-earth/screenshot28.png
LiDDiS Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 Viligante is gone too, so DS is definately headed in the right direction. Old players who had quit due to the !@#$%^&* should definately give the zone another chance now that he is gone. The classic style game play is awesome also.
Hellonearth Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 Waits for flaming action. how can they ever flame about it? The settings are awesome and great GFX, i say job well done.
The Apache Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 i don't trust any zone that was helped by someone like Witchie NL.
HiTMaNN Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 So far the graphics look great and the New Ship graphs look great. Can't wait to drop by
X`terrania Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 I'll personally make sure that no bashing happens here. I don't have anything against DS, just the people who were running it and some of the European moderators. The zone always was extremely fun, but then it sort've died down a bit. Many thanks to Nirvana, ThunderJam and their team for bringing the zone back to it's old glory. IT'S NOT EVEN OUT YET BUT I FORESEE GREATNESS!
»Purge Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 so the only "new" things are graphics and a map?
»LtNirvana Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. Except this one. And this one. And this one. And this one...
CRe Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 so the only "new" things are graphics and a map? Nope. New bot plugins, grapics, maps, gameplay (well back to the gameplay its suppose to be).
Sharpflame Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 I really liked DS on my first couple weeks of playing, but then I found out that I have to earn all my ships again every time there is a score reset... really turned me off. Another thing I just really hated: Defending base for your team during a whole flag game, then right when they're about to win the JP... you get set to the other freq because of freq evening. Turns out I wasted my time, so I left and went to another zone and didn't come back. I'm not posting this to rant for no reason - I was hoping that the developers of DS would consider these two things, mainly the freq evening. Having to earn your ships again is only a problem because of how difficult the freq evener can be when you try to get points.
»LtNirvana Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 are you seriously complaining about a team evener plugin? Like DS is the only zone with a team evener? lol what the !@#$%^&*? "Um, durp, evening teams ruins gameplay, your zone sucks cuz your teams are even, durrrrrrf." Jesus christ.
ThunderJam Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Posted December 25, 2007 When creemy said bot plugins have redone, it included increased functionality in many things, including the team evener. It will always even the most recent person to join your team. Many things like that have gone into the release, hopefulyl making the game overall seem more solid.
Shock Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 are you seriously complaining about a team evener plugin? Like DS is the only zone with a team evener? lol what the !@#$%^&*? "Um, durp, evening teams ruins gameplay, your zone sucks cuz your teams are even, durrrrrrf." Jesus christ.That !@#$%^&* is really annoying and he makes a good point. There should be a better team evening plug-in that keeps track of your stats and/or how long you've been on the team so it doesn't switch you. He was not hating on the zone, he was just saying. Think before you talk.
»LtNirvana Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 If I thought before I spoke I wouldn't be LtNirvana. Thx.

vgamer360 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 To get back on topic here. How many people are going to forget about what has happened in the past and try to give DS v3 a chance?
