so basically there is zero point of having fortifications now as you can just easily blow them up?
that was the main factor of the game, you could build trenches and forts and battle each other.
And destroying them was pretty hard unless you used grenades. I would be okay with a satchel charge.
Also, isn't 'the minigun' this mounted MG?

I think they improved engineer's building abilities with line builds, area fills and such so you can build a fort in 2 seconds.
I see no fun in that. Greens used to build buildings to last. They built a tower with double walls and defended it until blues conquered it. You just couldn't tear down a strategic building and build another on the same spot. That was just stupid, especially for blues who couldn't build for shit anyway.

One of the articles I read said the soldier has a 'minigun' and the engineer has an emplaced turret.
I'm still gonna buy it because I'm sure it's gonna be fun, but they made so many dumb decisions.
I shouldn't be surprised, it's Jagex after all.

Also I'm interested in the Zombie mode.
Yeah I'm still definitely going to buy it (unless they unveil something really, really dumb).

I agree, I think they should give us vanilla servers, that would not be hard to implement. The problem with most developers is they're stubborn and don't like to admit they are wrong with something.

shit
Well it looks ok but the minigun is a shit idea. I'm currently asking them why the hell they needed it on the forums.
Why did the developer sell it to Jagex?
I hope he made a lot of money because the game looks like shit now.
I'm pretty sure the game isn't going to be nearly as bad as you guys are making it out to be, it's just a whole lot of change and we can't really make anything out of the game other than what we've seen and what we can compare to the original.
One thing I will say though is that i'm sad they strayed so far from the WW1 part and made the maps more gimmicky/worms like. I hope the community returns the game to ww1 with maps and stuff.

Jagex hosted servers only means more likely than not, no custom maps.
Also, the main change here is that they are taking away the thing that made Ace of Spades so special.
1. It's WWI trenchdigging theme.
2. It's creative aspect and it's main focus on building
I don't care if it'll be good or bad, it will never be our good old Ace of Spades again and that sucks.
Maybe if I started noticing this game just now... Maybe I'd think it's good. But I know a better game. And that game is dead.
When this game first came out it was the tits.

Actually, it's still pretty alive:

It's a community built on .75
[QUOTE=Articsledder;38466250][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jddZW.png[/IMG]
Concerns:
-The model for the pick is way to blocky. We get it, the game is has a blocky atmosphere, no need to literally rub it in our faces
-The destruction looks ok but there are way to many blocks. If anything the ratio for blocks shown should be lower.
-Lighting engine is too light. The game appears to have lost it's gritty look. Also, whats up with the sunset like shadows? Unless there is a day/night cycle having those on permanently will look terrible.
-That map doesn't look very great. I assume it's planned to be an official one, but sheer walls are a no no in map making, most players look at them and are simply too lazy to do stuff about them.
I like:
-That blocks don't simply fade away like was originally planned in OpenGL
-Weapon models look much better without the shading they had in the older OpenGL
Honestly the best thing they can do now is just make the game more gritty. Right now it looks like an over-cartoonish kids game.[/QUOTE]

GOD DAMN IT JAGEX
i mean yeah all the new weapons are neat and all but they didn't have to make it look like fucking roblox
this isn't ace of spades
where are the trenches
although I appreciate more realistic physics,
this looks like they just ruined a perfectly good game to "appeal" to minecraft type-players, who would rather build then actually fight like it was WW1 or something. I mean really, look at the trailer. Shows off these amazing incredible builds which aren't really what ace of spades is about. The battlefields should be simple and plain, procedurally destroyed by the player to create a atmosphere that actually makes sense, not some minecraft pvp mod with guns
hopefully a legacy version will be available to play, but who knows. This might be good for silly/fun combat, but it does ruin what ace of spades stood for.
Edit: I've decided that instead of being considered a "loud minority" I will just never comment on the development of this game any further in this thread as my reasoning doesn't go any further than not liking what direction the developers have taken.
hate to say this again, but

fuck it's in fourth place
[QUOTE=SallyTheButcher;13953]Any existing map, doesn't matter what software was used. It's a way of getting a fan favourite into the official maps shortly after launch.
Yes Kodiak there will be custom maps we are already working on re-integration supporting the creative communities is a priority for us. But the functionality won't be there for day 1.
We want to give you a bespoke set of tools to aid such things as custom maps, this in no simple task though as there's many elements to consider especially being on a new platform. But Steam has many opportunities to promote creativity, you just need to look at other gaming communities over there.
It's best to think of 'launch' as the first step, it's just the beginning, which will swiftly be followed by a whole lot of continued development. :)[/QUOTE]
There is hope yet, my friends!
Maybe.

It's tied for third with CastleWars now.
Honestly as long as they don't bring down the old ace of spades I won't really care.
Tied for second now with Castlewars and Stranded
Worst case scenario we can probably get /v/ to crash the polls.
according to the forums there will never be dedicated servers, ever.
the devs themselves say that this is to "improve our fun and safety"
welp

I've heard that there will be rental servers at some point. Either way I would not be surprised if someone comes up with a home made server.exe within a few months of release

It's as good as dead now.
/v/ finally decided to make a .52 server. quick n dirty copy n paste from the /v/ thread:
[QUOTE]AoS V054 SERVER, WHERE SMGs ARE FOR FAGGOTS.
STEAM GROUP: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/aceovspades[/url]
Server: aos://2421193541 (Open your file explorer or internet browser(IT CAN'T BE CHROME) and paste this into the address bar)
Server game Version(054): [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?p2gy8aev8ua850u[/url]
YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY UNINSTALL ANY OLDER VERSION OF AoS BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SHIT.
CHANGE YOUR NAME IN CONFIG.INI. JUST SEARCH FOR YOUR ACE OF SPADES FOLDER FOR IT. THEN TYPE IT RIGHT AFTER "NAME". PRETTY FUCKING SIMPLE, RIGHT? REMEMBER TO SAVE THAT SHIT SON. NOBODY WANTS TO BE A DEUCE.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE DIRECT THEM TO THE STEAM GROUP CHAT. IT'S ALOT FUCKING EASIER AND QUICKER TO RESPOND THERE THAN IN THE THREAD.[/QUOTE]
Well, Classicgen has moved onto the second round.
[IMG]http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u379/8RModSallyd/piechartresults.png[/IMG]
Currently in last in the final round 9-8-2
Edit: Anyone want to post this on /v/?
[quote]Jagex is holding a contest to add "custom maps" to the final version of Ace of Spades. All their official maps appear to suck ass, so someone entered the Default Map from the good old days. It came in 2nd during the first round of voting, but is loosing badly now against the maps Stranded and Hiesville. To make the final version of them game slightly less shitty, vote for the default map.
