Vsays on NQ1

[bo0m]

Well.. There is a reason I don't play on NQ anymore, and vsays is your answer

Since I don't play often v92 isn't a big deal to me but I do like to hear the "I need a medic" and "I need ammo" vsays since they are useful ingame and sadly they get muted as well

Yes atleast reduce the amount of vsays you can do, 4 is plenty imo, especially since everyone likes to join in the spam on nq, 5 people x4 vsays = headache 

And no you are not making a big fuss out of it, for me it's a huge server killer but not for most on the server so some new ones are probably the way to go

+1

 

The nq1 server was one of my favorite, like a home server. But soon it became a freakin circus. Overspam vsays, binds. Just unplayable.

I agree.

That's why I changed nq1 to jay1 . I like to hear what's going on in the game, but "vsays" makes it impossible.

 

2. Reduce vsay spam threshold from 6 to 3

 

good idea

Thnx m8, we really didn't know about that cmd. Now for real, why should teamchat be disabled just becose someone can't control their spam? I think you also know that teamchat can be/is really usefull if you are 'objective kind of player' . I would really like to know when I need to heal someone, I mean to hear it aswell, not just loosing my concentration looking at the small map while playing.

 

So this command ain't that great solution.

Also voice chat is required for people playing without hud

Ok was just a option complaining and name calling isn't going to fix it last time I offer my opinion.

Complaining? - You gave your opinion m8, I gave mine. Is that fair enough?

 

Name calling? - Excuse me? If you refer to that 'smartass' it was for Shana, as you can see I quoted his comment. Us two played long time together, he even thought me (well, at least tryed xD) some scripting n' stuff. So it was a joke related to that. He knows it.

 

So, I respect your opinion and the fact you want to help. And you are allowed to say what ever you want, even if someone doesn't agree with you. And please don't get offended that easy & for no reason.

I'd like to open a discussion on the custom vsay sounds for our NQ1 server and want to encourage all members and regulars to share their point of view on the matter.

 

As with many things, your personal preference for vsays is also a matter of taste. Whoever witnessed me playing on this server for the past seven and half years, for instance, knows that I love to play all those little snippets from songs and movie quotes or movie scores to alleviate the atmosphere and of course for my own amusement. And I think we have quite the diverse and fun vsay sound pack. But, as always, there are exceptions to the rule and the issue of excessive spamming of vsays has been - and probably always will be - a downside to having custom vsays to play on a server.

 

The aforementioned exceptions are a certain set of vsays which consists mainly of different sounds of women moaning in a sexual aroused manner.

These vsays can not accessed via the vsay menu and used to be a secret "fun" extra for clan members. As with many things that were supposed to kept secret, they got leaked and now basically everyone has access to them - much to the chagrin of many admins and regulars - for overspamming these vsays can get annoying very quickly. (Most recent example of an admin getting fed up with a regular spamming: https://fearless-assassins.com/topic/86350-fa-big-bro/ )

 

This leads up to the follwing questions I'd like to discuss here:

 

1. Should we remove vsays like the above from the server altogether?

 

2. Followup question: Where should we draw the line? There are other vsays in our soundpack containing insults which could be put into consideration for removal. Then again we are talking about a game which can function as an outlet for many people. I firmly believe that taunts and insults thrown around in a joking manner are part of it.

 

3. Do the vsays in NQ1 annoy you? If so, do you think that lowering the vsay spam protection threshhold (i.e. from 6 vsays in a row to 4) could be beneficial to a friendlier server atmosphere?

 

4. Are the admins on NQ1 too lenient with vsay spam and should spammers be punished more strictly? I personally know I can tolerate a lot of vsays after playing on this server for so long.

 

5. Do you think our vsay pack needs an overhaul in general?

 

6. Most importantly: Am I just making a big fuss over nothing?

 

This is supposed to create a constructive dialogue between regulars and admins. I am always in favour of discussing an issue at hand to get a broader perspective before taking action. So please feel free to share your thoughts

 

 

1. Yes i think them ones should be removed

2. I think the ones that contain insults are ok but the ones that people do themselves sometimes i think are offence

3. Yes the Vsays are very annoying i do have them turned off so i cannot hear them but then you cannot hear people call for medic or ammo

4. Yes especially when admins do it themselves while sitting in spec

5. Yes

6. No this is a good topic i think so your not making a big fuss
