now that weak ammo is gone, maybe some quakers gonna play it

still, if everyone playing ql would switch to warsow, we would not be better off than we are right now. you have to attract new players.

The quick growth could bring some attention :D

I hope so

any non-steam competitive game must have a good social/buddy/stats/achievements/etc system at least like QL, BF3 and so on
warsow doesnt yet and it won't rly grow without them
game itself is pretty good

That's part of 0.7 iirc.

0.7/1.0 has them.

I just started playing, and I LOVE IT. Fantastic game, just needs more players.

is .7 out yet? I checked the Download section of their site but the only option is to download 0.61

also, it's a fun game but will not get very big. however, they should strongly consider putting in on steam if they can

They can't. Iirc crizis said something along the lines of "a game on steam has to be profitable in some way" whether it be through microtransactions or a direct charge for the purchase. Last I asked the devs they weren't willing to do this.

one problem i think is that they do not capitalize on their own momentum.

if i'm remembering correctly, the last couple patches they'll create a bunch of hype with something on the front page like a trailer, but then they don't release it until many months later when most people have already forgotten.

There's no potential in a 7 years old game that was always a very unpopular niche in a niche genre, especially in warsow's case.

Main problem they have is they are amateurs without a clue about developing a game. That's why it will always have core issues in every aspect, such as advertising (non existent), gameplay (been 7 years and they still don't know what they want, for example removing the ammo system after all that time, nor realize current walljumping is the main reason they still can't fix game balance), PR (they literally curse players) and so on.

Considering the game's severe lack lack of players, and that it's been hinted some developers are stepping out of the project very soon, I consider it dead. Not saying that it is too late to fix it, if the devs somehow realize they have to make game-changing modifications and additions, but it does not have a future.

edit: I've always found weird everyone supposedly likes the game but their biggest duel cup ever had 22 sign ups including the devs themselves (who knows how many showed up), and that if you check the server browser (both versions) not a single person plays basewsw or even mods with items but only instagib, ca in q3 maps and bomb&defuse, in that order.

thanks for your reply, I totally agree with you.

biggest duel cup ever had 22 sign ups

I organised one wSw tournament - it had over 70 signups and eventually 60 players took part in it.

pretty sure some of the old bamboocha and xlo cups had well over 100. cb/ec as well but obviously a TONNE of drops outs in 'em

like 80 years ago?

and it was about prize money.

One of Falckys cups had 60 sign ups and 40 played if I recall, not so long ago. Think it was one of his..

And you said: "their biggest duel cup ever had 22 sign ups including the devs themselves" And you're wrong in that case, because it wasn't the biggest cup warsow ever had.

I'll be honest I didn't read your post, I just replied to vic's :D

I agree with most of this. Especially points like the ammo system.

While not a cup, CAL (ok long time ago) had a warsow 1v1 league and the 1st season was successful at least. Not sure about subsequent ones.

mrkz, do you want a shootmania key ?

Yes..... :/

tell me where i can find you at irc.

#qlranks

WARSOW = future ? -> MRKZ = DRUNKED ?

No. I asked if it had any future the game itself.

you cant think that with a straight head that it will be the future if it didnt make a brake through till this time, think it over again

I have not looked into the situation, thats why I were asking. I played it , and asked. Cause the game itself isnt bad at all.

with all the quake enthusiasts and experts out there. It's a shame we can't create a new game. pmx!

They were young and full of passion, they only want money now. That's why they are aiming at consoles now.

yea sad that project got scrapped.

there always a copy of quake 4 on ebay you can get for £2, you torrent the iso to each other, update it to 1.4.2, download http://nullnuke.netai.net/download.php?op=details&lid=23 so you can play online without a cdkey, and make maps and models for q43a

I was playing w$w when it was in 0.2 version and it was quite entertaining. There is no other option right now so I will probably try newest version.

I started playing warsow in 0.2 until they made some shit changes and turned nades into frisbees and changed movent also

I don't remember such changes so I probably quit before.

the game used to give me headaches, did they ever fix the crazy graphics

cartoonlikeness is a feature, got me off the game pretty quick

The game has changed A LOT since then.
Stuntz yeah i've never like those "frisbee nades" either but got used to it.

I'm not sure whether I prefer Warsow or Xonotic, though I have enjoyed both immensely.

warsow has a bigger future than ql

warsow movement is just ridiculos awesome. So many possibilitys to keep your speed. Its even better than cpma since you can do a 180 dash and keep your whole speed. Walljumps are just great

it just need to get popular

Devs and passionate players need to spread the word.

They're trying to - ClownFart highlighted me in #warsow.na the other day for a suggestion of websites to talk to in order to (What I would presume to be) promote Warsow 1.0. I couldn't think of a few names that he hasn't heard of.

Tried it out yesterday and I must say its really good :D might be coming back duelling some if it wasnt as dead . I m in a server alone from 20 mins :(

Most duelers are in 0.7beta atm. You can download it here: http://www.warsow.net/forum/thread/14847/1

And also ask for duels in irc #warsow @quakenet might be easier ;)

thats what i m playing on :(

warsow is this funny cpm like game with rockets that stun you?:>

cmon, dont be silly :-)

Do you understand how stun works?

i got no idea

well it stops you from walljumping so can't lame it out of fights.

Wsw has been around for so long, why should it become big all of sudden? Unless some generous person invests lots of money I don't see how it could possibly grow out from being a niche game. Like Ischju said it's not enough to 'steal' players from other quakes (and clones), you must also draw interest from new players and get lots of them to play your game.

Is their any setup guide or smth

in few hours warsow 1.0 will come out, you just need to download the setup file, and double click to install it, atleast on windows.

i mean cfg and hud

Download it, play it, get into it, love it. Period.
Also, 1.0 release today.
