The amount of cross merging already makes it pretty dumb, and low pop is quite literally cancer to a server.
I don't think NT and tg should merge again after thinking about it for a bit.

/tg/ is focused around high pop gameplay. Weapons, equipment, gamemodes, everything is balanced for Sybil's highpop. When it stops being highpop, it gets boring. This was a problem back on Basil too, atleast in my opinion. On NT you can push features that work well on low-midpop but would never work on highpop server. If we had only one codebase again, these features would never get merged.

Remove speed-nerf and I will come running to Sybil.

For some reason people literally do not play on Artyom because of NT-phobia.

The last vote held on the speed issue was about 50/50. So its clearly a dividing issue.

I personally prefer the slower move speed, since it means someone has to fully commit to an action instead of running around so quickly they can get in and out in seconds.

You can say "NT and /tg/ are both great" and "Box and meta are both great" all you want, but there will be people who prefer one or the other and rightfully so.

May be, just may be, it's not as great as you think it is?

Meta and NT are certainly not great enough to keep high population around.

Personally I hate both, so there's that.

Merging of NT into /tg/ was offered by Rock. I accepted because I was the only person "of authority" around to do so.
This about a week back.

So there really isn't a case for NT staying afloat on it's own. We don't have the Population to do so.
Artyom will either switch to /tg/ code or it'll go down and Basil will rise back up.

So it's not really a matter of what to do, but of when it happens.

Great, will be looking forward to this.
Hopefully basil will rise again, since we really don't need three servers, as the population numbers have shown.
Will we be getting a general idea of what was merged from NT to /tg/?

Comparing box, a map, with NT, a code base, around concepts that are particular to maps, is confusing as all hell and makes my aspie flair up. NT station is not built to handle populations anything, meta is.

Most likely the "big" things that made NT different to /tg/.
I'm not sure on the cosmetic stuff, I don't see why those would be denied though.

This is one of the most poisonous threads I've ever seen and I'm amazed it hasn't been deleted yet for basically trying to kill a server and codebase by saying that server and codebase are dying and awful.

You can still get everywehre quickly.
Also, you can equip borgs with VTEC and ask (or order if you're a dick) them to pull you places :V

On the other hand, it fixed FUCKTONS OF ISSUES such as:
  • People being able to dodge taser bolts
  • It being almost impossible to stun people that knew what you were doing (aka yakkety sax)
  • People being able to OUTRUN taser bolts
These are all direct consequences of sanic speed, and "fixing" them without reducing the speed is treating the symptoms instead of the disease.

In terms of balance I think the, "a dev is too good at this so the changes might be biased," can apply to SS13. The larger problem isn't speed, but the Stun Wars this game likes to call combat.

Maintainers are not allowed to deny things based purely on their dislike for it. There are things that won't get in. Poo for example.

How easy it is to maintain code is very important. Since we are a very large project we want to keep the code simple so we don't get gridlocked. This sort of maintaining is in regards to working with the code after it is merged.

I actually liked the slower speed better. I think half of the Artyom users even voted for the slower speed, I am not really sure why we went back to the super fast one. The slower runspeed also made melee combat a possibility. Not easy but certainly doable. Right now melee is only possible if your target is busy typing or you have them stunned...

I don't think we should deny that maintainers personal opinions don't have an affect on what is accepted, because they do. The question is more of it that is a problem - and from what I can see so far, the answer is no.

The current crop of maintainers have been pretty good at clarifying why a pull is closed. They could be better though.

Stopped playing because too lowpop (below 20 ppl) 90% of the time. And I refuse to play below 20. Fix your code, fix your shit community (griefers, trolls, validhunters) and maybe people will consider playing on your server again, even some rookies etc. TG kinda lives from word of mouth advertisement, too, you could work in that direction.

Come on, it happened all the time before speed nerf.

How much time can you possibly spend running around for it to be a huge problem? I personally never had any trouble with nerf, I barely even noticed it.

On the other hand, every other action in the game is slow and hard to use, from computers and inventory (hotkeys help to some degree though) to speech. So people who just leg it have a huge advantage. I mean, chasing people that you need to talk to was a fucking nightmare, there's no need to even mention security chasing people.

I mean, of course their opinion matters to some degree, we're all just human beings. Unless they just go against major part of the community, I don't see it being a terrible problem. That said, somebody should give some examples of maintainers denying what seems to be a fine PR.

Literally doesn't happen. Closest thing is them running at full speed for half a second and then ducking to the side.
Come on, it happened all the time before speed nerf.
No. I'm on Artyom, I play it with the fast speeds, you can't outrun tazers.
Sybil players played with the fast speeds too, and yeah, you could outrun tazerbolts.

Then Artyom has slower speeds than prenerf (or faster bolts). It's just a fact that you could outrun taser bolts with prenerf speeds on Sybil.

Posting here because I didn't want to make a new thread and the other one is locked. I stopped playing about 2 months ago, I stopped playing because a group of meta friends made an entire department in game literally unplayable every round. I voiced my opinion then noped the fuck out of the game for a while, I didn't feel like playing only 75% of a game.

Imagine my surprise, when Artyom and Basil are devoid of life.

Might play again in a few days or so, depends if I still feel burned out by the game.

I never really got the whole meta friend thing until I saw an entire department start greytiding the moment a traitor was caught in their little social circle. Nothing is more cancerous than the realization that there is a large group of people who should be on your side who MAY not go so far as to murder you, but if you die or anything happens to you, you're just as likely to get spaced or your body ignored as you are to get cloned or even borged.

Metagroups exist on both servers, its just that the large amount of players on Sybil drowns out these small metagroups. Whereas on lower pop servers (Artyom and Basil) these metagroups can often outnumber everyone else, thus becoming more obvious.

There's the 3rd Street Ramblers, The Tunnel Snakes, The Grey Man Group, Tunnel Clowns, Order of the Ian, and of course the nastiest group of all The Admin Conspiracy.

I was more referring to the "known knowns" type. Any game that has rounds with static names will eventually breed lasting relationships between players and player characters that persists between rounds, for good or ill. People recognize names and respond to knowing those names. Its not the sort of exclusive club "metagang" sort of thing I hear about from the lower population servers, but it does influence how people play and respond. I've killed a few people because they recognized my character's name and assumed I was friendly or just doing my usual thing. I've had some players that also recognized my name and assumed a certain level of competence at some things (including being meta'd by scilicons in malf/rogueAI situations.) I'm not really making judgements on it, I'm just saying it happens.
