A storm of ignorance

Submitted by officiallydead on 25. June 2010 - 15:28

Being confronted by hilarious and bloody noobish behaviours/sayings/accusations of people, i just thought about writing a blogpost about the veil of ignorance drawn over the E+ community...

"Prejudice is the child of ignorance" by William Hazzlit ( a british writer famous of his humanistic essays)

Lets start about what ignorance i am talking about... the definition to this word differs depending on context.. I am talking about the lack of willingness to accept a choice made and formed by more than 50% of this community...

It seems like people in here, are becoming more and more narrow-minded...The only thing they see is what they WANT to see...

Some people, we know who, accuse old-schoolers, for being ignorant and using their reputation to stomp on the "low level" players suggestions/oppinions....These people just like being the victim in a case..
It doesnt matter WHAT way, HOW, WHAT and WHEN you say, they just stretch the other players WORDS, and start instulting and talking about him/her and putting everyone of his friends/clanmates into 1 fucking melting pot...Guess who is the ignorant?

A clear way of how democracy works, if 80 people like the TEST.cfg and 20 people dont, means that the TEST.cfg will stay on server....Since you 20 people cant do anything grin and bear with the situation...
Then some of the 20 people start flaming about switch time, spawnprotection, friendlyfire and get confronted either by the rest 80's or creator/helper of the TEST.cfg, who dont share the same oppinion, and again.

" they just use their reputation, their knowledge (which by the way is FREE to learn through google) and declines some1s suggestion"

Lets talk a little bit more specific....plusN config (which is based on old e+ configs)... switchtime whining (which is all about timing in the end), lg-sg-lg shit.... and that people are not willing to accept new configs...

BULLSHIT

Take bananarail.cfg... An awesome config, really fun to play... and a NEW one, all people play on it....creators of plusn, lovers of plusn, haters of plusn...

So flamers, did u see any oldschooler or any1 trying to do ANYTHING AGAINST this cfg?
It was a new suggestion of a new clan, who no1 knew about Tongue and no1 stopmed on it...

Another example...

If the flamers say that some specific known people are not willing for new things...why are there so many maps on every server? cpm maps, custom maps??

Those little things, which are working against the flamers attitude, are overlooked...

Anyway I am not really in the mood anymore to write other examples and go further in it

I just have to say that people stop accusing anyone and for fuckings sake dont twist other peoples word ( this i personally refer to ZMB*KID)

Not everyone shares the same oppinion with you (general speaking).. So be ready to take criticism like a man and discuss it privately (not on servers for eg) or in forum...and dont act childish flaming around...

cheers

"clear enough?"

yes, thank you

how is it done in retro cfg that one has to wait after a shot until one can start the switch? (the raisingtime looks quite fast there just like e5r)

yes i try to shoot to soon.. and now i understand why: i thought all the time that plusn has a delay until i can switch.. not that the switchingprocess it self takes longer... (i tried retro style switching)

now i should propably give up with this plus stuff..

Re: A storm of ignorance

seems it is a baseq3 switch where u need to wait the weapon cycle time if weapon was fired to proceed the switching (u need to wait on weapon reload) and where switch depends about cycle of the weapon

excessive configs allows u to switch when weapon haven't reloaded yet

u can flip the system in plusN by using xp_weaponStyle 1 (cpma method), where raising time has no delay but drooping time takes some time depending on the weapon cycle

in plusN default method u can use combos RG->LG but in xp_weaponStyle 1 this going to work opposite way LG->RG (same like in cpma but the switching is still excessively fast)

P-ERK *WGVD*,

somehow Yours logic fails, no mater it is dropping or raising time, u still need to wait the same amount of time!

by switching the gun in xp_weaponStyle 1 u will wait the dropping time of the weapon from what u switch

by switching the gun in xp_weaponStyle "default" u going to wait the raising time of the gun to what u switch

in both situations u need to WAIT before firring

i know.. i thought raising and dropping are different animations and my hope is that the xp style makes dropping take a while and as soon as i see the raising operation i can fire..
