fr15827: a quick review of my first game on EW

Today, I played my first real game on EW. The map that was going was Helms Deep. I found it both fun and entertaining to play, but I also encountered a brunch of problems. Therefore, I thought it could be a good idea by me to make a short review of my experience of the server so far. I will first start of by mentioning what I found positive and fun with the server and gameplay. Then, I will move on to the constructive criticism. After that, I have a few questions I would like to ask.


Positive


  • I found it very entertaining that the classes were realistic and included several interesting features such as heads resembling of the actual soldiers and not just woolblocks.
  • It was interesting to see that there are different classes depending on what map it is.
  • It was cool to see that there was many different kinds of breakable structures throughout the map.
  • The gameplay included a story, in which I could see lines from the movie by several characters such as Aragorn and king Théoden.
  • The different story-stages of the map was a bit annoying if you were in the middle of something, but it did indeed make the gameplay resemble of the moves better.


Constructive criticism


  • The server is honestly quite beginner-hostile. It took long until I could figure out how to reach the actual game. The book didn’t provide enough information, and there exists no form of server messages to guide you where to go. If I had been some impatient child, I would probably have become frustrated and left when I couldn’t figure out how to play fast enough. I think implementing guide-messages would be a nice addition to the server, telling you step by step exactly how and where to choose teams and similar.
  • In the spawnroom, you can take damage. That is a minor problem, but still worth to point out.
  • In the spawnroom, the classes seem to already have their buffs activated. We had this too, long ago, but removed it to make it easier to move in the spawnroom. Changing this isn’t necessary, but I’d like to point it out.
  • There is no simple access to a list of basic commands that I could find. I think it would be nice to add a few pages of basic commands in the book, to make it easier for new players to learn what commands they may have use of in their early stages on the server.


Questions


  • How long will a match last if nobody would be killed? Is there a timer as well?
  • Is it possible to view a scoreboard instead of the man-count?


That was all I could think of at the moment, but I look forward to see more of this server in the future. :)

"In the spawnroom, the classes seem to already have their buffs activated. We had this too, long ago, but removed it to make it easier to move in the spawnroom. Changing this isn’t necessary, but I’d like to point it out."

While it can sometimes be annoying (any class with slowness), it's very useful to know what buffs you will have before entering the battle. Also, this doesn't affect the game all that much because you don't actually have to walk up to the map, you can just punch at one of the spawn points.
 
i totally agree with the hard start, ive suggested tips in chat but people kept telling me to read the book, thats not enought.

yes, its also hard to know all the commands, here is a list of a few:
/settings (where you can edit some chat settings etc. such as the spammy death msges, u can turn those off.)
/mvp (the mvp score/stats and yours that game)
/emvp (enemy mvp)
/game (timer, online players etc.)
/maps (i think thats it, the cycle of maps, if u wanna see whats next.)
/stats 1-4 (all stats)
/topkills (also works for score, deaths, captures, killstreaks etc.)
/nh (see the current NazGuls and their health)
/trolltest (see the current amout of trolls in the evil team)
/kd (shows ur kd)
/whois [player-name] (shows players kd, if their online and wich team their on.)
/suicide (donators only, kills urself)
/scream (NazGul only, you scree, and give enemy team blindness a few seconds)
/vote (yeah, u csn vote daily on 4 different links, to get:

1. Voter classes
2. Sharpness weapon
3. 50 Points
4. Protection boots)

i have probably forgot about a few, if they pop up in my head later, imma edit this post and add them.
 
The fact that I don't even know all commands says that we should have a command to list them >.>
 
I find it interesting that many of those commands are spelled exactly the same as they are with us, but they do very different things. For instance, the command /whois was implemented after the name-changing feature was added, to help us view username history.

yeah ik but he gets the info about that thru /settings if im right.
 
We're reworking the "Hall Of Fame" into an information center where all various commands are amalgamated, So don't threat! And a scoreboard would be very appreciated ^^, unfortunately regulating the scoreboard is like a bad meal for Tim, he can't keep it down! It basically means the script Tim is running the server with doesn't support a well functioning scoreboard :p. Buuut you always got /game :3
