I've played multiplayer with this game since the very first day it launched. Yet it still never ceases to amaze me just how many dicks and assholes multiplayer with this game attracts.
Today I was on ICO. It often takes hours to get into a game. I had been patiently waiting a long time, just as many others had. Finally, a 10 player game filled up, hosted by Pawelo. Teams were being picked, when all of a sudden 2 Brothers In Arms guys who hadn't waited at all pop into the game chatroom and say "boot noobs so we can join!" Their names were:
[_]-Knewgui[_]-Howler
The host promptly went down the line and booted "noobs" (basically people with unrecognized names or who hadn't played many games online) so that these clanners could join. The clanners laughed and made several references to booting the "noobs."
And people still wonder why the no one wants to play multiplayer? And people still wonder why multiplayer failed?
Is this how you clans want to represent yourselves?
To the leader of Brothers In Arms, do you care how your clan is represented? Do you care how your clan "brethren" conduct themselves and treat other people? Do you think this treatment of others by your clanmates (and this guy Pawelo, who, granted, isn't in your clan) was fair? Is this how you would want to be treated?
Agent I am gonna say this again, EVERYONE GET KICKED AT SOME POINT, I BEEN KICKED PLENTY OF TIMES BEFORE I CAME GOOD, whats the point in skilled peoples killing not skilled people? it aint fun, and its too easy.
If people want to kick people, then it is there choice, not ours. and for fuck sake STOP MOANING, your starting to annoy a lot of people on here, with ur consistant moaning.
'And people still wonder why the no one wants to play multiplayer? And people still wonder why multiplayer failed?'
and the reason mulitplayer failed u moron was becuase ICO had and still has many problems with it.
Well, in all fairness, the majority of players, even in sin's smaller player pool, are individuals not playing with personal friends. They wait and wait for a game to pop up only to get booted from it, so yeah, I could understand how that could be maddeningally frustrating.
However this is probably more or less the dinkleberry on top of the crap sunday that was and always has been ico's online support for sins.
Even if Sins had Battlenet , perfect online support , super balanced updates and bug free gameplay , I doubt it be any different from it is now. People simply get bored of a game that to be honest wasnt best designed for online multiplayer sessions
ICO requires two things:
A whole lot of patience, and a whole lot of not taking people too seriously.
Any online game will have Jerks. All the clans have elitist pricks in them (as well as some nice guys, don't get me wrong) so you just gotta take it with a grain, or rock, or boulder of salt. And who knows, maybe one day you'll garner those guys respect by laying some smack down upon them, or helping them out of a tight spot. Bottom line is there's no ICO police to stop people from being a-holes, so all you can really do is just get over it and move on.
Dude, what the hell is wrong with your reading-comprehension skills? Do you possess them? How many more times do you want me to say that THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE OF SKILLED GAMES OR SKILLED PEOPLE? What part of that easy sentence don't you understand?
I know it is herd for Mr. Grehghost to not feel attacked and to respond defensively. However, I feel this is a perfect opportunity for him and his clan to show maturity. Instead of replying negatively to the comments it is an opportune time to reply positively to the comments.
I hope he will take this advice. Showing that he and his group is a class act can only attract more members to his clan.
good luck.
Ya know. I would agree with that. But one of the fraisers threw out a stat when entrenchment came out which was something along the lines of they had sold over 500,000 copies of sins, and that 75,000 had come online at one point or another. Now I know a large contingent of that pool lost interest, but I have a hard time believing that having a consistent pool of say 200-400 people on during US Eastern Standard Time would be such a large stretch.
Yes people lost interest, but I don't think that's the only reason. 75,000. And that was a year ago.
I wonder how many copies of Entrenchment they sold? That might be an indicator of how well the game retains people's interest.
no one here is annoyed with agent. they r annoyed with u.
Well TBH with you C.I. Agent Kharma has been pissing sooooooooooo many ppl off in other fourms, and i am tired of it.
I really dont give a toss about two guys on the forum who are just arses, and having nothing better to do then moan, frankly get ON WITH YOUR LIFE, either play the game or dont, ur choice.
The fact is, add me to your bitchs list, I dont give a toss, ITS JUST A FUCKING GAME!, the other fact is I have more respect on the forums and on the game, instead of you two dickheads us brits say, if bia and DT want to play with skilled, even if that means kicking dickheads like you out of pug games, I am glad its happening.
Any noobs out there, I would like to apologise if i do kick you guys out of games, from now on, if my game says skilled, then any players above 60 games are allowed, if my game just says 5v5. you are ALL WELCOME to take part in it, without the fear of being kicked.
and I would also like to mention, if you need any advice, tips or trianing, I would be gladly to offer it.
P.S. If I see you agent and CI in my games, you cat bet ill kick ur ass out of my games.
Because Stone Cold Hawky Says So.
uhh 43 karma over here. wat u got?
16 here
75 karma and more knowledge of sins than the rest of you combined. Not the game mind you. Real life sins against god
You're Amish- what do you know about sins? You have to experience sin first to know what it is
At the age of 16 Amish Children Party their asses off, and the Amish actually have big drug problems within their community. The Amish arent that sheltered as youd been lead to believe.
And SunnyHawk, You might just want to shut up while your ahead. You completely made yourself and your Clan look like the biggest set of Losers in the Online Community. Ive always complained about Online behavior, but you guys solidify the reasoning for the Majority of SPs. We dont want to deal with the assholery. I actually feel bad for some of the MPs that come on here and champion the recruiting for MP. They bust their asses to make MP appealing only to have dickwads like yourself cut their efforts out from under them.
And your idea of earning your stripes by getting kicked is just retarded at best. The only place you should earn your stripes is ingame. Not in the lobby genius, thats called a popularity contest not a sportmanship like competition where individuals compete for respect. Something that should be more important when dealing with something competitive like SoaSE. But I wouldnt expect you to understand that as your fully convinced your ihazing and the ihazing of others was what was needed to bring out the better SINs player in you. You know how many possibly great SINs players youve sent packing for the sake of pulling in some jackass who plays good but is no wheres near one of the best? You know how many possibly future great SINs player, that may very well have wanted to join your crew, went back to SP because he couldnt stand the idea of playing the same game with a pussfilled idiot like yourself?
If you havent noticed Im insulting you and your brethern. Which Agent so far has avoided. But I dont give a damn about you or your Clanbitches. So Im going to continue to spew hate your way to show that people have contempt for your kind. And were tired of hearing your Elitest bullshit being spread all over the place. Its time for people like you to go. As in your not welcome here anymore and need to find another game to play with. Its a shame that literally 75,000 people at one point were active on ICO and today the numbers are only a fraction of that. I wonder why so many would become disillusioned with the game. Maybe cause its losers like you at the forefront of Skill in the MP. Most people prefer to enjoy their time spent playing a video game. Not hearing your crap about how your the Shit....yea your the shit. Because youve wasted countless hours of your worthless IRL on a video game. And actually feel cocky about it. So you talk shit about newbies and how their worthless, how ironic you think people who havent wasted their lives on a game are the ones that are worthless. Those newbies are the future for your game that your the shit in and the MP that you value so much that you chase any newcomers away out of fear of change. Those newbies are the future of your Elitest Clan. Yet your too fucking itarded to realize your only crippling the game you enjoy. But go ahead and keep being the egotistical pussofshit that you are. Eventually when either the MP is almost nonexistant or no one around you will care to play with you or your Brothers in Arms. Itll be far too late to grow the fuck up and learn what a real person does in life. They have manners and use them in accordance to the golden rule. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Not the bullshit "well I was treated that way so Im going to do the same as others". <<< Yeah cause that always makes a productive community. And it always gets its desired effects. But Im waiting on your response so you can continue making your buttbuddy Clan look like the fucking backwater MPs that you are.
omfg,
Wow, got bored reading that bullshit, seriously those, get a girl friend or something.
Any spare time i get is teaching noobs how to play, but I havent been on in about 3 weeks teaching every sunday is becuase I just started Uni, and its stressful .
I RERELY have an argument with a noob, that depends on him being a jack ass by going afk, or arguing at my team that we aint helping him etc. The fact is, every MULITPLAYER game have arguments aginest noobs, that wont change, but people need to learn that THIS IS JUST A FUCKING GAME! - get the picture?
I think I read somewhere that Stardock goes, ' if Firends want to play with friends, then they should be able to kick'. If you yanks want to carry on moaning fine, MOAN ABOUT ME! becuase frankly, I dont Give a Toss!
Real Life is Much More Fun, then moaning about getting kicked from a game, just host another game, theres the soultion.
P.S. By the way, I been smurfing with a noob account, and actually playing like one too, e.g spamming colbalts vs irms etc. and so far, out of 6 games I been in, I havent been kicked, not once. I will try to get 15 games, then post my results.
you dont care yet you cared to quote me and then respond.
You can pretend you didnt read it, but seriously from your response it shows you did. But its ok I know your looking to save face after someone just shitted all over you.
Oh and no one cares about your stress. Everyone has something to deal with. Boohoo your in Uni....obviously they havent gotten around to teaching you basic English. I wouldnt stress over it, but sometimes I have to reread what you write to actually catch what your getting at. And I doubt that you teach newbies. Considering how you talked about them in prior posts.
Your also moaning about people moaning so how does that make you any better?
You cant seem to help your arguement only dig yourself a deeper hole.
I aint moaning mate, stating facts. I am surprised that I need to learn Basic English from a redneck like you, I dont have 3hrs to write a paragraph or essay on the Sins Forum and make sure the spellings, grammer are correct.
I would love to dig a hole, then put you in it
Define Care:To be concerned: to be interested in or concerned about something
^^Read that, I wasent concerned or interested in what you had to say, I read it yes, but doesnt mean I was interested in what bullshit you had to say.
and yes, I do bad mouth some noobs, most people do when some of them are jack asses, but I NEVER TRASH TALK new people who dont know how to play the game, and need advice on what to do. NEVER! if you can find proof of that, then I would galdly say what accusations you are saying is true, if not, then I suggest you shut up and go back to bed, replying to me at 5am? let me guess, been gaming all night fucking nerd?
And for other people to know, All Clans Can be a little arrogant sometimes, but you know the only reason people blame bia more? is because we all wear our tags (except me, I Smurf alot), Siddy, Gini, Starplayer (No offense guys) all smurf and bad mouth people, but never get mentioned,I would love to see all of bia smurfing, like DT, then this problem will be 600 times worse then it is.
I think this thread should be closed, becuase Alliegence thinks hes 'Shitting On Me', and its giving me a hard on.
Wow. This thread degenerated quickly and it didnt start high to begin with. Forum karma does not mean much. CI likely has some because he posts those fan fiction story things and not because of any help that he is on the forum but that is besides the point. You can like or not like clans in general and mine specifically. It doesn't much matter to me. BIA wears their tags more than any of the rest so it is easy to focus on us as the "problem" with multiplayer. You can scapegoat if you like but that does not stop you from alleviating your problem. Host your own game and kick or don't kick out whomever you like. Quit griping about it and take initiative yourself. This whole thread makes mountains out of molehills.
[_]-Greyfox
Recently I haven't seen much of BIA involved in clan activities (ie clan vs clan, or 4BIA vs 6 etc). Mostly they just come and play with their tags on, and occasionally find one of their clanmates to join games with. I don't think its fair to blame the entire clan for what one of their players does, and to associate the attitude of the other players who wear those tags to only one of them. If that were the case, DT would be a league of A-holes just because of Siddy, but most of those guys are nice guys. Hell JJ taught me how to survive in MP.
The largest reason the MP community is so small isn't due solely to the whole asshole factor (every online game has its assholes), there are tons more reasons like:
SP games are super long, Im sure many think MP is the same way.
Smurfs make it difficult to trust that new players are actually new.
Newer online games sap the communities of older ones. (when SC2 hits, its gonna be bad news for sins MP)
Many don't like the fast paced competitive atmosphere of MP
Etc.
There was never a lot of "clan" games to begin with. It is rare that we get enough of us on at one time and not in a game for a 4v4 or 5v5. DT always smurfs so you can rarely catch them to get a game with them. DU is just not big/active enough. It was always a haphazard kind of thing when we did even when it was a planned game. Sins is never going to be big enough to warrant a robust clan community and many of the ones that are in clans do not have enough pride to even wear their tags. Instead they prefer to imbalance teams in their own favor or otherwise be free to act like a jackass with smurfing. Such is the way things go. Clans are by no means the downfall of online sins. It already had the deck stacked against it in numerous ways.
I Agree with deciver and greyfox.
Sins is not built for clans, its too small, but the fact that this forum post is more like a witch hunt then anyhting else.
I would like to tell you now, if you DONT like playing with a certain person or clan, THEN DONT PLAY WITH THEM. Its simple, host your own game, its not hard, goto host new game - find the map you want and host it.
But I know that CI, Agent Of Kharma, and Alleginace will post some stupid post suggesting otherwise. Lets KILL THIS POST OFF NOW, there is no point in argueing over thi problem, like I said before, if you got a problem with us, or anyone else, just dont PLAY WITH US!
and like deciver said, some people on the game, we dont know if they are smurfs or noobs. Deciver and Darvin (Forum people) I never ever kicked them out of my games, nor has anyone else, BECUASE of the fact that we know that they are acutally people, and not smurfing. There records are below 100 (ages ago), but I never kicked them, due to me knowing that they are acutally players, and not smurfs.
and I wont be on Sins today, so I will say this here.
FINALLY.............THE HAWK HAS COME BACK TO TUESDAY NIGHT SINS FORUM!
lol!
didn't mean that to insult anyone. i put a smiley on the end!
