First things first. I played a few games, and love the new mouse smoothing. It adds a feel of weight to the chassis, and adds to the immersion level, in addition to letting me perform better in battle on my not so good computer.
Now:
Stop being such a drama queen. The devs don't need you, or anybody, to go around white-knighting. In fact people like you accomplish absolutely nothing.
Bitching about the mod is fairly useless as far as feedback goes. Bitching about people bitching is a stage of uselessness even beyond that.
Well, gee Frost, it appears there seems to be more of the white-knight types in this thread that share my opinion that NotSoCool is certainly a gamer this community will not miss. Your little vendetta against me for our little strife in that other thread is a bit childish, don't you think?
I guess I am such a drama queen, telling people to respect one another and act like an adult and shit.
I think I understand why I bother you though. It isn't the air arguments and our opinion of them, nor is it the basic maturity issues that surround nearly every post in this thread. I think you have this misunderstanding that I think I am better than others because, "I'm in the Navy," and, "I save lives." You think I somehow hold my values so highly that everybody else is below me, and nothing could be further from the truth.
Why do I argue about maturity, respect, etc then? It's the basis for progress. If everybody had intelligible debates and feedback, instead of pissing at one another, this mod would likely be farther along in regards to final balancing and completion. Obviously this is not a winning battle, but the more people that decide to act a little bit older, the more we can collectively accomplish. I'd hate to see this community grow into a similar community like the CoD or CSS player base.
I remember playing older games like NetMech, Descent I, and some of the very first online games, on a 28k modem. It was an amazing experience to share the fun of the game with others. How many times have your parents asked you, "Why don't you go out and socialize," and you responded with, "I am socializing. I'm playing a game with 15 other people." My Dad actually thought it was great, compared to his days of interactive gaming at the arcades.
Now we have exploits, hackers, TKers, trolls, etc, and we tear eachother apart on forums. At what point do you step back and realize that we've lost the whole point of multiplayer gaming entirely?
Frost, you can counter my argument in any which way you want. I will not respond. In fact I am done with this thread. I've said everything that needs to be said, and just playing punch tag is counter-productive to the purpose of this thread, which is to determine how players feel about the new mouse smoothing. I suggest (for the better of yourself) you join me in this exodus, but I'll let you have your final say. For everybody else, good luck bringing this thread back to the original purpose, and (hoping some people see the light) if you share your concern with the future of this game, as I do, that you speak up and not remain silent.
