Camel Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Lo, Thing is.. When people download Cont.38 they don't see any SVS zone on their server list (Most SVS zones use another Continuum version - .39-pre). They'll have to click on "Zones" before finding it <- would you do that as a newbie in the first 3 months? I wouldn't, seeing alot of other highly populated zones in my list, I'd try out those first. And even when a newbie happens to click on 'download server list' and some zone asks u to download .39 from some website before being able to play it <- would you do that as a newbie, or even as a 2 year old TW, EG or DSB "vet"? Nope.. And even when they DO download .39-pre, % of them don't even know how to use the 39.exe (ok, stupidity, but true) after the install and give up, it's a fact - read forums everywhere. SVS have had zero newbie influx since the PPB (PriitK Prox Bug), there are only some old bored vets left populating the SVS zones. Its "ALMOST" death now <- Only rescue would be a .39 release soon.. I can't play the game I used to be addicted to so much, but maybe its better for my future. Anyways, my -*BAD WORD*- hurts much because of this matter, I demand a next Continuum version to solve this! (frustrated)

Bargeld Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 the best thing SVS zones have, to-date: http://beginners.subspace.net/downloads/continuum.zip
Camel Posted January 15, 2004 Author Report Posted January 15, 2004 Morning, Splitting the game up with different versions (zone.bak?) downloadable at different sites sucks a bit imo...Why wouldnt Priitk take revenge by editing the zone.bak with the next version to highly populated non-SVS zones only? Nah he woudln't but he does have the right, SVS did it too. There should be one Continuum version to download everwhere(not just on one site for SVS..) Also, I went to EG + DSB few weeks back and asked ppl if they knew about Chaos, Alpha, WZ, Pro, etc.. Either the zones were red or its never been on their list.. I think most of the current SS population don't even know about SVS ones.. And even if they do they dont feel like getting the pre-client somewhere. Before the prox bug SVS had a steady newbie influx as far as I remember.. Oh well..
Yupa Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 the only people that noticed the prox bug were people that had played SVS for a long time and probably still do the way beginners.subspace.net has it, there is only one fileas for the places that list .38 and .39pr1 separately...it is stupid, yes, but there's nothing we can do to make people smart There should be one Continuum version to download everwhere(not just on one site for SVS..)I agree, the SVS people involved with that have reached new heights of gayness Also, I went to EG + DSB few weeks back and asked ppl if they knew about Chaos, Alpha, WZ, Pro, etc.. Either the zones were red or its never been on their list.. I think most of the current SS population don't even know about SVS ones.....and? And even if they do they dont feel like getting the pre-client somewhere.even if .39 wasn't a prerelease and instead was a complete and full release, they'd still have to go download it to deal with the prox bug...something they'd never notice anyways...but I digress since they play TW or EG (or whatever) so regularly and those zones are not mentioning to them to upgrade their client, why would they bother?
»i88gerbils Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 It's not like they're trying to steal current players from TW or EG or DSB. This is just simply another method of competing with zones.
»i88gerbils Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 you should have told that to TW years ago.
Guest Plant Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 And even when they DO download .39-pre, % of them don't even know how to use the 39.exe (ok, stupidity, but true) after the install and give up, it's a fact - read forums everywhere.LIES, I think nobody is so blind that they dont see this line on the site:Install instructions:Unzip Continuum039pr1.zip to your current Continuum directory and run Continuum039pr1.exe to start it go check that out yourself at http://rdr.sscuservers.net/cont39/YES? and what about when they first dowloaded continuum they had to use 0.37.exe or 0.38.exe ... so i bet they also know how to use the 0.39.exe
Camel Posted January 16, 2004 Author Report Posted January 16, 2004 I'm not gonna search for all of them.. (many more) example: http://www.sschaos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=85example: http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=199 Its very simple to understand indeed.. But its happening, no lies, they cant seem to figure they have to go to their Cont folder to run .39 (and replace their .38 desktop icon to .39) Ak -'..and?' - Before the prox bug most SVS zones were on peoples Cont (.37 and the first weeks/months of .38) server list, now its isn't anymore.. (red or gone), as a newbie myself I guess I wouldn't have refreshed my server list within the first year playing.. At some point u wanna try something else than the home-zone ur playing(as a newbie).. They now goto TW,DSB, EG, MG, etc (whatever the highly populated zones are) instead of Chaos for example, they dont see it on their list.. So its doing harm But there's going to be a .39 release sooner or later.. I shouldn't whine. But SVS is dying more day by day, there's no newbie influx.. I'd like to see the .39 release soon!
Yupa Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 the default list is updated with new client versions I'm sure whenever .39 comes out all the default zones will be green
