Husk, are you pissed off at me because I whooped your ass in that roper the other day? FFS man all you do is just follow me around on the boards and say snarky shit. Get a grip.

QuoteAnubis is by far the best roper in this thread

if you were really disagreeing, you'd actually need a point or some sort of intelligent counter-argument, a name would suffice really, you're not doing any of that just adding to the noise 

I made a clear point about how this thread should be used most efficiently, that is, listening to those that actually know what they're talking about, and highlighted those that posted in this thread. You forgot to read the last 3 words of a 9 word message, twice, and are making me go back and forth explaining you that you can't just take words out of context fabricate imaginary arguments in your head and come here pretend you're having a discussion 

plus, why should we trust the dude that never played competitively, or rather, never competed?

I never bothered making an 'argument' as I was sharing an opinion and didn't feel the need to qualify what I said. Anubis isn't the best overall roper in this thread. I'll keep my opinions on who is best to myself. You misinterpreted what I typed. I didn't fail to read those 3 words. You're just assuming stuff and trying to make an argument where there isn't one.

Who are you, btw? You're talking about me as though I'm some random newcomer, yet you're either on here as an alias, or you're just some random noob. I sure as heck have never seen your name on WormNET. I've started playing W:A on launch day, bud.

As far as never competing, that isn't true. I played a lot of ranked/competitive matches (both solo and clanner) back in the day. I was playing ranked matches well before TUS existed.

I'm just disagreeing with you. Anubis was a hell of a warmer roper back in the day, but best overall roper? Nah.

IMO 4.0 would be a thing rather than 3.8

4.0 won't be out for some time.

Husk, how can I be excited for a W:A patch when I have NO IDEA what the patch is going to include and/or fix? I wasn't being demanding or anything like that. I was simply stating that I have no reason to be excited for it since I know nothing about it. I am more excited for WMD because I actually know something about the game, plus it's new. That's not to say I am not optimistic about 3.8 though.

As far as the cups/ladders, I think more people might be inclined to get involved if the whole system were a little more organized and user-friendly. As it is, there's just too much going on for such a small community. I say streamline and keep it simple. Whether you care about my opinion or not is totally irrelevant.

I want to enjoy playing W:A still, but basically every time I get on there it is just a bunch of random Russian noobs.

Maybe when it comes to warming. When it comes to actual ropers and racing, no.

For that matter, I wouldn't mind seeing a Big RR ladder. TTRR ladder I probably wouldn't play in simply because I don't like how one good turn = gg, you win. At least in roper you have several turns to use strategy and show off shot-making and dropping skills, and in Big RR it's basically the same thing as TTRR, only the winner is determined by the speed and consistency of a player over MANY turns. Besides, if anyone is good at TTRR, it stands to reason they should rock at BigRR. A Big RR ladder would get me super excited as I think it's the most enjoyable scheme there is right now, especially on a great map. No crates, no attacking... just pure rope speed and control. THAT is the test of a roper IMHO.

I gotta agree with Caye on this one. *ducks*

It really doesn't matter too much what keyboard you own or use. As long as it doesn't suffer from ghosting/keylock, you will be fine. I can see how those used to playing with "low profile" keyboards might need an adjustment period after buying a mechanical, but overall I feel as though they would prefer a mechanical over something with membrane switches for gaming and not. I actually like the travel distance on my spacebar, although some people might say that it's too far. (Mechanicals are also just more of a pleasure to use in general due to the feel and the sound. I feel like I can type faster on a mechanical because you feel every single keystroke..) Before I got my fancy schmancy gaming keyboard, I was using a $2 thrift store Dell PS2 keyboard with membranes for YEARS. I also had a super old PC and positively ancient monitor which only supported an 800x600 resolution, and yet I still managed to be very competitive. It's not really what you have so much as what you're used to. My Corsair kb is USB rather than PS2 and I feel no latency whatsoever.

I don't think that there's any definitive "best" keyboard for Worms because I am sure that if we looked at video footage of our hands and the hands of other players, we would see that we all do it a bit differently. Just pick a keyboard and stick with it. Eventually your muscle memory is going to adapt. 

Hey Husk, are you on your period or something? Why are you so uptight?

Well, since I have NO IDEA what the patch is supposed to entail, I can't say that I'm 'excited' about it. I'm definitely more stoked for WMD for now.

I feel like the game has gotten less active, but maybe I just pick crap times to get on and play? Whenever I get on it's practically dead almost every time.

I have a few questions on my mind:

1. What do the nuke symbols next to our names signify? I have two, for instance. Post count?

2. When is the 3.8 patch supposed to come out, and what exactly is it going to feature? StepS messaged me on Steam the other day and said it's coming soon and should feature a lot of shit. I want details.

3. Is it just me or are there too many ranked leagues/cups/etc? I haven't been involved with anything ranked in a long time, but I've noticed that it is all very confusing. Why don't we mutually agree to streamline and consolidate the ranked system so that it's not a clusterf*ck? Maybe then I'd be tempted to play.

4. What do you think is in store for W:A? What I am asking here is do you think the game will be viable for years to come, or do you think it's dying a slow death and will never bounce back?

I would actually like to see some sort of tournament that involves determining who is the best player when drinking and smoking weed.

I would put my bet on myself, tbh. I doubt there's anyone who plays Worms who has more experience playing "under the influence." I can be pretty wasted and still pwn.

this is how real f@#!ers smoke:

LOL gravity bongs are for high school kids. These days if I am at home I smoke out of a scientific glass bubbler or my dab rig... if I am on the go I will pack my vape pen full of wax or just roll up a fat joint.

I wouldn't be opposed to something like this once I start playing actively again. As is, I play maybe once a week for a few hours, and I'm tired of playing vs. noobs.
