Needn't not? Need not not?  You just told him he has to worry lmao.

WWP > W2 > Worms Crazy Golf.

I've been playing WMD recently but it's extremely bad...

Quote from: Kradie on October 08, 2024, 03:36 AMOf course WMD is in the shadow of WA. I don't think I claimed otherwise.

Nobody said you did, I was speaking out in general.

Just to add, I've been playing some WMD recently over the past week, it's such a frustrating game.

sock and I tried some "Big RR" even though it's kind of like regular RR with very slightly bigger tunnels... I mean it's alright at best if WA didn't exist but absolute rubbish compared to WA.

There's no camera control that we're used to in WA, this is a big problem. sock also complained that you HAVE to use WASD for roping and arrows don't work. So you need to remap the keys somehow. Though I did find there's an option to use modern controls or classic controls, if you use classic controls then you will use the arrows.

Teleporting into the game is so slow and frustrating compared to WA, the way the worm faces seems to just be that it faces the middle of the map you cannot choose which way your worm is facing. It honestly takes 2/3 times longer to teleport in and it feels like that's due to either incompetent programmers or an incompetent decision to make teleporting take so f**king long!

Even if you select "no fall damage" your worm still loses it's turn based on fall damage, it's the most annoying thing about trying to rope. It doesn't make sense at all!

It's a whole charade you must go through to play your own custom maps in the game, first you've got to make them as normal, the size limit is "8192x4096" you can't have anything bigger than this. Once you've made your map you've got to also download the WMD Editor as a "Tool" in Steam, then once you have that open you have to import the map there, then publish it on the Steam Workshop.

It's a complete and utter f**king farce and a pointless waste of time compared to previous iterations of the franchise where you can just load maps straight from the game.

Honestly, the only good thing about WMD at this point is the visuals. The gameplay, the physics and features are all so much worse than WA it's mentally painful to think there are people out there who prefer it to WA...

Then you have the people who made WMD, they didn't make WMD for it to be a good game with good choices and decisions, they made it as painful and torturous as possible to play for ANYONE who is used to W2/WA/WWP. Especially with all the great features we have in WA.

And that's just me playing it for a few days for a few hours... And already it's doing my head in.

YOU CAN'T EVEN CHOOSE INFINITE TIME FOR TURNTIME OMFG!!!

Edit - Also a bit annoying that they've ripped off Bob Ross.

I'll try to get the draw done today, as in the 8th of October around 3 or 4pm GMT.

Most 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, it surprises me that WMD has a more active player base than WA, but then again the schemes they play are way more aimed at casuals and noobs rather than top tier players we have here on WA. The only thing I can think of as a pro that WA doesn't have is automated matchmaking, but what's the point when it doesn't have the customization or schemes that we enjoy so much here.

I remember watching a BnG Tournament on Twitch like 3 or 4 years ago and being majorly disappointed at how nooby it looked, even when it was the best players in the world on WMD competing apparently. The maps were just, bad, mostly flat, no proper hides etc and they had ridiculous weapons.

Not to mention during a lot of my streams on CWA we had a few regulars who played WMD even complaining about the bugs there that still haven't been fixed.

If WA didn't exist, it would be a great game, but because WA exists, it's a mediocre game at best.

The 8th episode of the CWA Podcast has now been confirmed!

Another very oldschool player who is another legend in their own right.

It will be a great chance to pick his brain to celebrate his contributions and achievements.

Woah! Spaazi! Welcome back brother!

I will do the draw on Monday around 5pm GMT

Hey, thanks for sharing this information.

Is there any online matchmaking at all?

Funny enough I had the same issue with hostingbuddy recently.
