Hows E+ as a community doing?

Judging by your comment Froggy, I should blindly agree to anything thats suggested around here? I still have a personal taste/opinion, don't I?...

About clanbase, i just expressed my opinion. Feel free to go and give it a try if you don't share my views on the matter, nobody stops you dude.

i dont say that you didnt accept new ideas, we all have taste and i also dont like some ideas, but some persons dont agree with all, they dont care new idea, they only care who post it. so 1st of all we should change ourself, after that we can change other things

and about clanbase, i like idea, but i bet, it wouldnt success, i heard many times opions like your trance, also i heard many times e+ is shit, crap and so on, from other mods players. ppl who play other mods wouldnt play e+, ppl who starting play q3 would play clanbase cups..

S.O.S. Help plz!!! is what ppl wanting to make this mod a better mod (this world a better world) should say or have ever said.

Arrow from players sides : in general as some have said their behavour isn't bad and some are really nice guys/girls. Community level gameplay has increased during last years, (you rarely find some newbies around comparing to 2years ago). ofc u can get some enemies in community but it cannot be more than 5-10% except if u consider them enemies and their do not. so just ignore them and think about the 90-95% who have nothing against u or are good friends.

Arrow from mod side : the mod is fine in a sens and gives many fun, but can add a BIG interest by giving somebody from the large amount of programmers/developpers/conceptors around here the chance to participate in this mod evolution that is something I don't understand why it is refused and makes the game's evolution so slow (remember long waiting time for 1.04).

Arrow from playing side : the game is more and more boring recently (same servers, rotations, ppl, gameplay, ... that's about to be a routine). There is a solution to improve that : add new features or try other non played gametypes, why not trying something else as RTF insteed of CTF, some clan arena insteed of freeze ? and for protect the leader it can be great if only the leader has something else instead of gauntlet ? there are many ideas that can be around here but well, here I can only say S.O.S. Help plz!!!

Arrow from forum side : a small number of ppl in this community is registered, from those ones, few of them post threads or just participate and have postcount, the others have about 0-10. when u make a pool u have at MAX about 120ppl voting from 1000 registered. ofc I really rarelly check off topic cos SPAM = 90%,

Arrow from clans sides : the problem is clanhopping or/and ppl don't have a real clan spirit, they are not all serious (that's why many clans die respawn then redie). Loyalty is the key word.

As I'm now a bit old in the community, I can maybe disapear a day like others have ever done.

regards.

Well, of course, this website is but an aspect of E+ as is, an important aspect, but still, an aspect. But well, it ties in with what Ali said - people are starting to get bored. Same old games, on same old maps, no real prizes to win, not even prestige, because everyone knows already who is good, and who is not. Changes come in slow.. we'll see how it will be after 1.04 gets released.

its good that you both say the same thing and this is exactly what is the problem, it is not the fact that there is less call for competition it is the fact that there is less driving force behind it from those that have the greatest influence..
look at the most viewed topics in the general discussion forum (first page)-

Who is the best player in E+? - 15,000 views
Excessiveplus Mapping Project ! - 10,000 views
Fastest dm17 competition! - 10,000 views
Excessive Plus pickup games! (status: LIVE!) - 9,000 views

topics based on

competition
mapping
competition
competition

this is exactly what you were talking about, this is what the players want, its just most people dont have the opportunity or ability to make things happen from a thread. some do have the ability and they have now the perfect opportunity, a bloodthirsty audience, the mod adding an extention to its life cycle, all it needs is someone from within tying all these together with some ribbon and adding a few balloons on the whole package and the market will go frag crazy for at least a year. I think the first step could be to call an official clan tournament, solely for the launch of 1.04, run and promoted by those involved in the management of the forums, im sure that this would generate A LOT of interest.

Additionaly, the time to make arrangements outside the community is now.

i normally have enough time to read every single post, means, sometimes im clicking 20 times on a thread.
if u got a lot of people reading now every new post on every thread cuz they are bored, it gonna crash ur statistic

Skull Head, not all people are stupid, and only you are smart. Goddam is absolutely right, that his arguments underline where the interest of the people are.

Even if people watch threads multiple times, how many people u need clicking 20 times in to the thread to get a count of 10.000? I guess u r smart enough to do this calculation.

Everybody knows, that we do not speak about unique-users, you don't must extra point this out. Nevertheless, it reflects the interest of the people.

And i know ur next argument, "but but but but, i can click in a thread 1.000 times and it would make the counter wrong". Nobody is so stupid, at least, not until right now.

seriusly, the thread about the best player is there since ~500 days, means 32 clicks every day to fullfill that.
u just need 16 people who click twice everyday, most click more, some click once.
