Quote from: Ricky on October 12, 2024, 04:37 AMThere are some things to dislike about Worms WMD like the accessible buildings and vehicles but other than that it is a nice little game with new and different captivating art and design than before Worms games.We could have been given a lot more which would have made this game parrallely good to WA and WWP but if it was meant to be like this then what can we do

I honestly think that the accessible building was a neat Idea. Why do you think otherwise? 

So, as of this moment this topic has a view count of 180, and nobody has replied with the exception of Lancelot. So based on this current Intel, it is sufficed to ''assume'' it is not Important to switch to the community server(s) at this time anytime soon, at least not till the main server goes offline.

Although this is conjecture of course, and furthermore to add to that conjecture, it is a shame nobody has been forthcoming about this here on TUS.

That's it for now.

Quote from: TheKomodo on October 07, 2024, 03:36 PMMost of that thread is normal internet forum stuff tbh.

I got a few laughs reading that.

We were right in the end though, WMD is a dire shadow of WA, nobody in their right mind would consider it a spiritual successor.

Yes I am sure it was fun back then and it is fun to read now for you.

Of course WMD is in the shadow of WA. I don't think I claimed otherwise.

I would like to think that most fans of WA, their perspective of WMD is not favorable. But outside of this bubble, most people don't mind WMD and like it. If you look to the steamcharts, WMD outperforms WA on activity.

That thread you linked, I feel embarrassed by it for some reason. There's a lot of cynicism in it. I think one of these people that promoted the game got chastised too, Jonno I believe. At least in private.

I really don't recommend reading this thread unless if you are WA historian or have great thirst for past events.

steamcharts isnt a great metric of overall activity, wmd released when steam was king, whereas many people have non steam versions.  ive never played wa through steam. 

does wmd even have a disc version?

I wouldn't count on the nonsteam user making up most of the activity on WA, Including Idle snoopers. If I personally were to provide an rough estimate of active nonsteamers user PLAYING WA I would have to say no more than 50 people, and that's generous. This alone is not enough to top WMD. (I am not saying WMD is the better game) Perhaps it is just the better game for newbies and casuals.

So there's been rumbles that the main server is shutting down..? Or at least HostingBuddy won't be working there..? And the word is that people should start using the community server rather than the main one? IF SO, how's that going? The community server is dead. There's nobody there at this time.

Perhaps the plan could be that once the main server goes offline, the community server would just take its place..?

Quote from: Ricky on October 07, 2024, 04:20 AMWhy did Worms WMD not become very likeable by our Worms community. It is pretty good?

For me, I don't like the game as much because I can't rope there as I would here on WA, and I can't choose big maps too. Plus as far as I know the game doesn't receive any updates.

Though I am sure it is a nice game overall. I did own it for under 2 hours on launch day and refunded it. Perhaps I didn't give it enough chance.

When I host a Big Rope Race my friend deejay can't see the map. After some seconds after the map is loaded, he gets a blank popup and forces him out.

When I pick a normal or custom map, it works fine for him. The Issue happens when a big map is loaded.

Any thoughts? Help?

Thanks.

1. Option to choose how crates are spawned: long drop, Instant drop (Directly on surface).
2. When a user join a game, a bot will auto send a link in host room that contains the rules of that scheme that is hosted.
3. Host can warn user in host room that they may get kicked.
4. If a person host with the name ''TUS'', users that joins will receive message from a bot that it is competitive game.
5. Crates disappear after X amount of turns.
6. Extra high fire punch
7. Extra long dragon ball
8. Girders rotation are not constrained: Rotate Girders freely without grid..
9. Extra menu with rules. Either on main page or host room.. We wouldn't need 4th option..
10. First timer comes online gets auto message/popup with short instruction what to do and expect..
11. Sheep Miner: Each time sheep jumps it plants a mine...
12. Animals activates mines.
13. Mega Strike: Choose X amount of missiles from air strikes, napalm, mail strike, and etc.
14 Auto airstrike each turn.
15. Worms can plant barrels.
16. Big barrel. A bigger barrel on land that does extra damage.
17. Spawn barrels, just like crates
18. More aggressive bounce and spread with bananas, and clusters.
19. Donkey jumpes across Island.

Thanks for sharing.

It looks like as always that Team17 doesn't try to strive for excellence with their Worms tittles.

This port is just Inferior to the current PC version of WA. I am sure this port would get some attention by people who forgot about the PC version they once knew of. Of course it would be a nice little throwback for those customers but they would miss on a lot of what the PC version has to offer..

There was a moment in time when I loved playing clanners but then I got burned out and made bad decisions. I wish I didn't but it did happen.

If I ever made a clan again I wouldn't wish to be a leader, maybe help get people together, but in the end I'd rather be the guy you call on.

I already know some people that ''Could'' be interested in making a clan with me. But even so, we wouldn't be strong enough in most schemes.

A clan needs at least 2 strong players to keep the morale going. On top of that, it requires the lower level players to keep playing. At least this is how I see it.

I am not the best around anyway and I never cared much for competitive play except for cup games. But I did enjoy clanners now and then.

But in general when it comes to clan games it will be the same people battling the same people. This could change if people loosen their loyalty to their clan. It's not like the end of the world. But then you could be thinking ''So if I leave my clan, I would STILL battle the same people!''. True, but you would have helped a new clan to rise and there could be new people in that clan too.

Anyway that's my thoughts.

Cups are more fun for me overall.

Thanks for helping with the games I had problems with.

I tried upload all 6 games 2 times.

Now I leave the downloads here

Quote from: TheKomodo on August 28, 2024, 10:29 AM"Start donw left"

Majority of my BIG RR maps, and I think race maps in general starts at bottom left. I think most people would assume this by Instinct because, platformers like Super Mario and whatever else in this genre have their character start at the left side of the screen, and move right.

We already have WA remastered for PC. Why do we need a watered down version on a console?

If you really want WA on a portable device you could always get a Steam dock or similar.

I am back.

Tomorrow I will be available sometime afternoon GMT. Reach out to me and we take it from there.
