What has Jagex done right?

[theginjaninja09]

"Crouch-spamming" is a part pf the AoS meta. That's like "patching" strafejumping in Quake.

"Crouch-spamming" is one of the most annoying things in 0.75.
(just my opinion though.)
When I first saw someone use it, I thought that he was using teleport hacks. Classic CTF didn't remove it altogether, they just turned down the superhuman speed.

What's so bad about crouch spamming? I don't do it often, but I never think less of anyone for doing it.

To all those people who are saying that jagex did nothing right except graphical improvement, you have been brainwashed by the community.
jagex is not bent on screwing ace of spades over. The main problem is caused by the many layers of mangers. They are all greedy pointy-haired weasels, who have no idea how to make a game.
I seriously doubt you have played 1.0 for a decent length of time, if not at all. 1.0 is crap, but jagex have done a few actual improvements to the game.
- No seeing guns through walls, and you cant Z fight anymore.
- They have removed crouch-spamming. (At least on classic ctf, not sure about the other gamemodes.)
- They made classic ctf in the first place.
- No trapping your own teammates in blocks.
- Two good new gamemodes, zombies and multi-hill. (Multi-hill needs a bit of improvement though.)
- User placed blocks now have more HP.

I don't really think slowing down the crouch spam is actually a good move. I don't use it often, but it just seems no fun without the super-speed.
I heard about the current issues about zombie mode. Something about the miner being overpowered and spawn camping zombies.

its not that slow, play it for yourself, you'll see what I mean.

I always hated crouch spamming to the point of it being what I have to use. Haha. I just hate crouch spamming< Ruins the point of being able to shoot someone without them spamming it to the point of no return.

They also made a system for choosing the next map on that server.
2 minutes before the game ends, a poll with four maps on it will pop upon the left side of the screen. The map with the highest votes is in the next round.

Crouch spamming isn't bad.

And sorry I haven't taken the time to respond for a while.

Honestly, on the occasion that I've played it, I've had a decent amount of fun playing the new AoS. It's different from 0.75, and sometimes it's nice for a change. Classic Mode is fun, Zombies is eh for me, and TDM and the VIP modes are also pretty fun. Though, I usually pwn with my master AoS skillz, that might be why I'm having so much fun. xD However, I haven't played in a while, so I don't know about newer updates. I still waaaaaaaaaay prefer this version. So much better.

I'm pretty sure this existed before 1.x did, although not as a GUI-based thing.
The sad thing is, this is kinda mandatory on 1.x because NO PRIVATE SERVERS YOU GREEDY PRICKS

Pardon me, but what's z fighting?

Pardon me, but what's z fighting?

You can see players and Intel through blocks at certain angles, and guns go straight through blocks.

[pokefan548]

Ah yes, that old pain in the blocky arse

In an attempt to be helpful, I think BnS members should tell Jagex what they think they have done right. I'll post this thread on the forums when I get enough people to respond.

List of things Jagex has done well:
1. Classic Mode was well done.
2. Color Picker (though that should have already been in the game)
3. The overall graphical fidelity has massively improved.
4. The Game Modes are fun.
5. Most of the maps are good.
6. The In-Game Events are fun.
7. User placed blocks having more HP is definitely helpful.
8. No more gun clipping through walls problems
9. No more z-fighting.

I think the simple graphics we have are part of the charm.

I actually have given this game a chance. I played it for quite awhile, but now....And I see nothing wrong with crouch-spamming.

AoS had zombies before 1.0 came out, plus let's not forget the good game modes(babel for example) they took out for the 1.0 release.
