EDIT: Is the site down?

I was unable to reach it for like 6 hours, but it seems to be back up. Looks like the game was more popular than expected, and the server couldn't handle it, if I'm reading this right.

What is it with block-based games and this happening? Minecraft used to do this weekly, DF's site died April 1 last year.

Well, It got pointed out by Notch. I'd say if he hadn't it wouldn't be crazy server stuffs right now.

I dunno, RPS noticed it too. If they'd been further apart it might not be so bad.

if you Do use the ironsights, you make less sound, thus making you sneakier. When I try to sneak, I usually use it.

Or shift which is walk. So it's silly to use ironsights for that.

Hey, does anyone make Green/Blue flags whenever your finished building something? I do, and i always get popped in the face before i complete it.

I was playing blue once and I spent ages competing with a couple of green players over a small hilltop fort. Every time I captured it I'd raise the blue flag and then they'd raise the green one when they inevitably recaptured it. We went back and forth for about half an hour and by the end the fort wasn't even there any more, it was just a flag.

Those kinds of scenarios is the most fun, just as struggles over tunnels.
The worst thing that occurs is when people change team to break things for the other team. In one game green broke our Intel spire, then some blue went and broke their "fabulous bridge(rainbow colored)" and a green went and broke my newly built intel spire. After that there was no point in building anything anymore.

Fun fun fun. But darn, cheaters and exploiters already amuck, with admins not having much power ?

Yea, the whole team swapping to destroy enemy fortifications thing is pretty lame. People should be ashamed of themselves.

I saw a guy build this really tall tower with a spiral staircase going up for the intel and several people were on top of it defending their base. It was a pretty cool tower, too - must have taken the guy half an hour to make. I was on the other team, but I managed to get over there and run probably halfway up it before they noticed I was there and I got shot lol.

Then someone swapped and ran over and dug out the foundation and made it all collapse.

The game needs some kind of option to disallow new team joins from destroying blocks not made by them for X time after joining, so you couldn't swap over destroy their fort and swap right back. People could still grief by staying on the team a while then doing it, but at least it would stop the issue of people swapping back and forth just to destroy the enemy fortifications.



I've also seen evidence of cheating, but im not sure if its cheating or some kind of bug. A guy was running across the map repeatedly falling, and shooting him repeatedly never seemed to get anything to hit (even if I seemed to hit him, which was difficult since he was constantly teleporting into the sky and dropping), yet he was able to shoot everyone else fine.

Another time I was deep underground digging a tunnel under a mountain that the other team had a fort on (plan was to tunnel up right past them and shoot them from behind) and started getting shot, I ran around and noticed bullets coming through the roof, even though there was like 10 solid tiles between me and the surface. I went back inside and this time I sealed up the tunnel behind me before I went deeper just to make sure someone hadnt come behind, but when I got in there I got shot by the same person (an anonymous Deuce).

Perhaps by using Blue/green blocks.

The first thing I think is a bug, the other is a bastard with wallhack + some other cheat.

Hopefully, soon we'll be able to set up private, stable servers.

What admins?

[Criptfeind]

Server owners.
