I have a 27 inch Asus 1440p 165hz screen.
I use display port cable.
I use wkD3D9Wnd module
I use latest WA.
I use Direct3D 9 Shader.
I disabled both VSync options.
I left Nvidia settings untouched.
I play at 1024x768.

Everything is smooth, even on previous version of WA.
I don't use Windows mode, only full screen.

Mayne look at cable connection. Nothing wrong with Windows 10.
Find WA.exe, right click, options, check & mess around with compatibility.

My post is to highlight what works for me, and could be a pointer for you.

An necessarily argument none the less.

In general, money can motivate people.

Leagues General / Re: TRL: ZaR Roper?

You guys don't understand how many people are on these servers on a daily basis?  None of you f@#!ers will even play TUS with me, save for a very select few.  We can barely support 1 league, once we had active TUS/TRL/TEL/FREE all at the same time.  Now we have 0 active leagues, and you want to divide that activity?  If I thought there would even be a single player or old player coming back to play that would put in 50 GP into the TRL, I could support it.  Unfortunately, it's not happening, Kradie's grip far outreaches his grasp.  I think it is more about ZaR prestige than actually playing singles in a TRL.

Singles league is dying and people want TRL tailored to their needs?  This idea seems selfish to me, just ACTUALLY play some ZaR in regular TUS, its been an option for ages if both agree yet literally no one plays it.  I'm tired of these additional league and TRL ideas, these aren't real solutions to the problem of activity, they just go in the opposite direction.

For the record, I hope you guys prove me wrong, maybe it can be a success, but I doubt it.  I won't be supporting this league at all, but will look forward to TUS singles ZaR if anyone wants to pick it with me, im not opposed.  I won't support 3 leagues at all when I literally have been the only one playing any sort of singles this past week.  This site is completely dead and this is an asinine idea.  Actually play singles, ZaR people, and I might believe you, right now I don't think anyone will be playing.

If I was MI, I would tell you to prove it.  Play ZaR singles and prove you have enough activity to necessitate another league before you are arbitrarily handed a new league.  The more I think about this idea the more I think about how stupid it is.

If anything, we should be subtracting a league.

At least I don't need money to motivate me to have fun. Of course it is nothing bad about that, and I wouldn't mind it, but it is not a requirement for me. I play mostly for fun, and to have ZaR in the league, would be another level of fun, because it would be competitive in my opinion.

Many people do actually enjoy ZaR, not just me alone, and certainly not just the members of the community. I have read many of you have said that you like ZaR, so if you like something, you could be more passionate about it. Though you could argue that not everything goes hand in hand and shouldn't belong there. But then again, we would be comparing Roper and ZaR again, which is done to death by now, and everyone have their thoughts and feelings about that.

I might seem selfish, but I am pushing for something I am passionate about, and I am sure some of you can relate to that. ZaR is prestige scheme indeed, I am proud of the members, happy with the games and times spent with everyone partaking. Some members have even come to me and said ''Kradie, I voted no for ZaR in main league''. I was cool with that, because we are friends and we enjoy ZaR together.

Вы ебанулись совсем?
Maybe Change Shopper to Walk for weapons?
WXW for WXW 25 sec with health cr8s ?
TTRR with not max power of rope (it was practic 500years ago)

BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA

BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA

I like ZaR, it's f@#!ing funny to play when 0 host at AG and nobody wants play TTRR with me or something instead mole shopper, but im not FAN of this shit, and also last time i see stucks with 6 ppl in, and no1 motivated to do nice turns, just noob moves, after 5 min of the game map is destroying in MEAT and stupid shortcuts evrywhere, i need 10 sec for catch any place...
Why zook? try shot timing nade from middle of map in roper, lad mine from roof on the head

Go to hell all, Tnx MI for opening this GOLD season with my lovely classic schemes (which fixed while i was inactive and i even dont care(t17 water rise 100 metrs in sec wtf))
Tnx For this thread, i can bla blablabla too it's so cool :DDD
And I leave ZaR community coz it become FAP FAP FAP FZAR
But I VOTE yes for trl zar, why the f@#! not

Brutally honest and no offense taken. There is actually a scheme called fap zar too XD

Anyhow, I do respect your honesty and I am not angry about it. In fact, there are a couple of members in ZaR that are against the idea of having ZaR in the main league. That's something I appreciate, an open dialog. I'm not going to strong arm anyone  to vote for something that I believe.

Komodo, there was a while back ago that you were somewhat against ZaR? Has something changed? Or perhaps nothing changed and I misinterpreted.

Aerial is now in the Allround & Default leagues.

You guys thought about finally changing to modern scheme, now when Aerial is part of a "big" league.
Bunch of us regular players pointed out that new scheme is suited for leagues better, numerous of times.
Even with bo3, max of 3 games lasts no longer than 30 mins.

Think about it.

EDIT: sudden death and minor weapon changes maybe should not affect your judgment, but having a scheme with random mines in main league definitely should raise some questions.

Evasive maneuvers is both key & skill. If someone can't avoid potential danger, then perhaps they don't have enough experience.

I am happy to see modern schemes are brought into the league though.

I hope everyone will give a fair vote.

I would support aerial, it is a good scheme.

But... but nope is already winning...

It's funny to see people who were never competitive players trying to push zar so hard. What's next? Godmax scheme?

It's funny to see why these so called competitive players fears a more difficult scheme than what they are used to.

If there is nothing to be afraid of, then accept it and play it like a man. ZaR doesn't hold your hand.

XanKriegor. that's a good idea, we could do that. it is not like ZaR will ruin it if it was replaced with roper. So why so persistent? There is nothing to lose. Some claims it is luck while I personally say no. Even if it is luck, it isn't a bad thing. That's what makes it fun & addicting. Besides, ZaR would play like Intermediate bo3, with 1 worm, and 2 worms in CaveZaR as final.
I've had impossible crates appearing in regular ropers, but in ZaR they wouldn't had been that hard due to destructible terrain. So in other words, destructible terrain would compensate for some of the ''supposedly'' hard crates.

That doesn't help, Charles. Anubis is right, very similar to what I think and said in the past.

I also spoke with a friend of my on worms. He has never seen these forums. He was shocked over how outdated it was. He thought it was 2000 again.

Quote from: TheKomodo on October 11, 2018, 02:52 PMLet's argue against any proposed change
Would you rather have everyone agree with anything without thinking for a second?

It is two dimensional thinking, and it has been going on for years now. People lack the adaptability to change and evolve with the times. TuS is in its own time bubble, while the world around it moves on.

Quote from: spleen17 on October 11, 2018, 03:45 PM
How about we just split tus into two leagues. One with Roper, Elite, Ttrr, Shopper and Inter. The other with Mole Shopper, ZaR, Aerial, Big RR and Comet Dodging (only allowed when players are tied 1-1 or 2-2 and both players agree).

Would be interesting to see which is more active after a month or two.

I agree with spleen, let's do that

Nothing personal against Kradie & others- I like ZaR, but I voted no. Roper is more accessible to new players. Why would we pick an exclusive scheme when we only aim to have 3-4 schemes?

There are no exclusive schemes here Joe. To my understanding, Komodo wants to know if people would like traditional Roper to be replaced with ZaR.

Roper is more accessible? Correct me if I am wrong, are you saying that newer player requires more experience to play ZaR? Then I would like to add that; Big RR is more accessible than TTRR, and that TTRR should be removed from the league. Why? Because whenever I host a TTRR, people often comment that the maps are too small, that they way to tight, and that they are used to play on bigger maps. Sure you could argue ''Play on bigger maps'', I would say... No. TTRR shouldn't necessarily look like Big RR maps. So in big RR, it is easier to play, to navigate, you're not under constant pressure of having the best time, because we all know the pressure in TTRR, especially against an experienced player. So no, TTRR is NOT accessible for beginners. So we should totally have separate league for beginners, mole, shopper and normal.

Thanks for voting though :)

Haha, come on, these votes are really not legitimate. Spleen and kradie will get dozens of ppl to click on yes, and most of regular roper players will not even participate.

I made a poll for that Wild league that started as a drunk joke, after 2 days we've had 15+ YES votes, cause Godmax promoted it in #ag.

Just remove these polls, MI. If they ever did anything useful, they don't anymore.

It is true that I Kradie, will ask fans of ZaR and some of its members to give their vote. I do not go seek random people and have them give their vote to something they have no affiliation in. I believe that those that plays Worms and ZaR, and partake in the league, should have their voice heard. I don't think it is fair that bystanders cam vote and cast their voice in something they do not partake.You could say that they have experience, sure, but they don't recognize and see WA as it is from us regular participants of the game itself.  So the poll itself, could be but not necessary be inaccurate due to bystanders.

A poll in this matter could be an indicator for many things and therefor should not be silenced.

OP not even in ZaR smh

that scheme is too hard to be mastered properly, regular Roper is hard enough
A person do not need to be a member of anything, perhaps Komodo is only interested in results. There is no harm in that.

Roper vs ZaR difficulty, this is entirely subjective. But I do agree, ZaR is more punishing to player mistakes.
Then again, Roper & ZaR is not the hardest rope based scheme in the league, is it? So I think your assessment there is somewhat wrong.

Make sure to view this zar tus games here
https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-223613/
https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-223600/

You can void the games if you like, but it is an example of how a tus game can look like with zar in it.

Kudos to you Komodo for ZaR accolades :)

12 seconds, no parachute, crazy maps, zook only... Most games I see are decided after like 2 turns each... I think this is not a scheme to attract noobs at all.

Crazy maps, I barely choose any of the sorts. My maps are usually designed for ZaR. They're usually thin, with thin middle, no land close to the island's feet. Sure, there are maps that may seem convoluted, but perhaps that is the idea of it? They're still slimmed down and not as fat as say some of Mablak's ropers. On fat maps, you can't even make shortcut cuts to maneuver yourself through.Which is one of roping skills, adaptability. In regular ropers you are forced to go through the entirety of the map, which is a skill of itself, but you can easily make it less luck based in ZaR when you do create these holes. to snuggle yourself through.

QuoteI think Roper got less and less popular as the maps got crazier and more evil, and more decided by luck.

True, that's why I try to keep it fair.

Quotezook being the only weapon as well, that gets pretty boring when you are used to grenade/mine as well for so many years.

This is likely true, to me I never found it boring. I do agree that grenade further the attack range and makes for interesting games.
Long ago, I remember people hosted zook only ropers, I thought of it at the time it was a pro weapon, since I was a noob and always used mine. Nowadays It is hard for me to consider mine as a weapon if ever I do competitive. Heck it is even embarrassing for me to choose parachute, because to me it feels like crutches. Yes, I know you can use the parachute to wall hit and glide and continue your turn, that is pro too.

I see ZaR as a simplified, stripped down version of Roper, yes it's fun, yes it's competitive, if it would honestly bring more popularity into the League, i'd support it, but this is simply my opinion, it's not fact or anything, and I don't want it as a main League scheme, ever.
ZaR is literally stripped down version, in order to make it more difficult (Opinion).

Komodo, you don't take time to get to know people from WA. You sit there up in your high tower with your Nostalgia goggles, and make decision that best suit yourself. Perhaps it is time to join everyone else? The people here on these forums aren't the only ones that plays worms.

About the league, I had an interesting conversation with two individuals. One of them asked if it was ''free'', the other one asked ''Why do I need to play the league?''
I am trying to get more people to look up tus :)
