I see what you did there.

I won't be doing full matches just yet unless there is a strong consensus for it, with the understanding that that limits what else I can cover.

NewMutator

Please nominate games for coverage!

NewMutator

I think we're looking at post-QR, Vant, so you're safe... for now.

NewMutator

I don't know how tricky it would be or what would be involved. My understanding is that the film is essentially like playing a game where all the actions are scripted, so I imagine the chat could just work as normal, only with the appropriate sound designating it's occurring in real-time (chat sound...

Punk should probably weigh in on this to clarify but my impression is that multiplayer cloud saving is essentially the ability to "save" a multiplayer game and load it again later. Obviously useful for cooperative games like Mazz, but perhaps it can even be used for competitive matches, to...

I don't think this thread is about arguing which features are more important than others but just stating your personal preference so that Punk can get a sense of what people most want and prioritize those features first.

NewMutator

For sure, I'd like to get a good range of skill-levels if possible.

NewMutator

I was thinking of polling participants to see which matches there's interest in covering, too.

NewMutator

Oh, also, allow chat amongst observers. Not sure if that's client or not but that's a standard for other games from what I can tell.

NewMutator

The problem with GKG tagset is that it fundamentally alters game behavior, which could be problematic for people who are also participating in MWC (switching between two different game behaviors) which looks to be almost everyone.

NewMutator

Another feature request: Join a game in progress.

Not sure how difficult that would be but something that could be considered.

NewMutator

Obviously it's a variation of the sorites paradox if you're complaining the metagame hasn't changed at all over the years. The point at which the metagame "changes" is ill-defined.

NewMutator

Yeah, we're probably looking at post-QR, I'm just unsure if those games are likely to be scheduled or not since I'm not really involved in organizing this thing.

NewMutator

It's actually interesting to note the solidification of the Myth metagame this 1v1 tournament/league/whatever has wrought. It becomes plainly visible over scores of games.

NewMutator

Myth definitely is not lacking a metagame. The metagame is just contingent on factors such as the map/gametype.

NewMutator

Hey everyone, I'd like to do some coverage of a few high profile MFC matches. Ideally I'd be watching them live, but games are pretty haphazard and I'm not always available to hop online, so I may have to reach a bit into the past to provide some content. Also, since 1v1 fighting is typically casted...

But I'm biased.

NewMutator

I imagine the rematch is a result of the match being played on Mariusnet. Incidentally, the fact that no one uploaded the films or even seems to have them makes a pretty good case by itself.

NewMutator

Yeah, so I have that checked because I use a nonstandard keyboard layout (dvorak) and if I didn't my keys would be all over the place instead of just re-mapped to the different keys in the same place. One thing that gave me trouble is that now the special attack T button is mapped to Y--it took a bi...

NewMutator

Well because that match was played on Marius I'm not even sure if it counts. At any rate, I don't have access to the films and it doesn't seem they've been posted anywhere, so that kind of limits what I can cover.

NewMutator

Thanks for the feedback so far. I'd rather go in blind so as little as you can tell me about the games the better.

NewMutator

I've mentioned elsewhere that my coverage of MWC this year will be limited, but what coverage I choose to do I'd like to have high value. Last year I casted more than a few lackluster games and matches, so I'd like to give everyone this year an opportunity to nominate the very best games for each we...

NewMutator

I'd like to poll the community on this. I wouldn't object to profiling GKG but it's his call ultimately. Still, I would ask what kinds of things would you want to know from GKG? Since there's interest in him, perhaps there are specific questions you'd want me to ask. Share those with me here, and, p...

You've had a whole year to find out about this but I guess you'd rather think this whole GoS thing is just a Mickey Mouse operation, huh?

NewMutator

Lizard King, you are talking out of your ass. GoS is in its infancy. Punk has been talking about implementing these features since AT LEAST last year, when I spoke with him for the MWC casts. And he has delivered so far. Automatic saving of films to the metaserver. Check. Tracked stats for all games...

NewMutator

Appreciate it, but it's a time issue generally. I'll keep that in mind in case, though, Punk.

NewMutator

What are the arguments for playing tournament matches on Marius? In the unlikely event a newbie sees the match and stays, they're just going to get booted from the game anyway. Sure, someone could make a case for Mnet being the better option, but that was when its website was still functional. By pl...

NewMutator

GoS uses PST as server time, so EST - 3 hours (I believe)

NewMutator

All right, guys, it seems I'll be able to resume this series on a limited basis. If you're interested in baring your soul to the Myth world, contact me via PM. I'd like to continue throughout MWC if possible with these profiles if there's interest. In addition, I may start up another series to cover...

NewMutator

You're still here LK? Hurry up and go away so we can kill Myth.

NewMutator

To be fair, Renwood made a pretty good juggling analogy at the end that I thought was brilliant.

NewMutator

Frankly I'm surprised you click on these at all.

NewMutator

So what happened was that I would hear my own echo every time I would speak with Ren holding the push-to-talk button. He said he was using headphones and we tried unsuccessfully to locate and solve the issue. Plus his audio kept clipping as the interview progressed, despite the fact that he claimed ...

NewMutator

The audio issues made it less than ideal but we had already spent a good chunk of time troubleshooting to no avail so I just said screw it.

NewMutator

Next one is up, in which I introduce someone who's opting not to play this year: Renwood

According to my understanding, 1.8 damage values are calculated fractionally with greater accuracy. And damage taken is finally tabulated correctly (before it behaved as you described, only counting for dead units).

NewMutator

Because it's a waste of seed

NewMutator

Who here can say they know what's in the best interests of Myth? You can't pick and choose the best time for something to happen, either you accept it in the time frame it presents itself or you don't. It doesn't make sense to be all wistful, this is a unique chance to potentially revitalize the onl...

NewMutator

For everyone saying more people on 1 server = Good, why do you insist on having that server be Marius? Couldn't it be GoS? Is the issue just that Marius has a bigger web footprint, because that's liable to change along with higher activity on GoS. All I see are people complaining about how GoS is &q...

NewMutator

Mnet went down so PPE could install cameras in the server

NewMutator

Right, so that's actually how GoS got started, because PPE didn't want anybody messing with the Mnet code. If he had been reasonable about allowing metaserver development, GoS would essentially be Mnet. Don't watch if you don't want, no skin off my nose. Heaven forbid you'd ever be interested in Myt...

NewMutator

This is one of the only serious posts I will make regarding the myth community. I'm honestly fucking disgusted that punkuser and newmutator have turned this into some sort of "conservative vs liberal" argument. Honestly, what the fuck are you two talking about? Nobody cares about new feat...

NewMutator

(2) The evidence to that is that mariusnet has been up for over a decade now and when an issue came up with the server it was dealt with, all while communicating to the community. Your evidence for punk is that you "just dont see him disappearing." If he didn't truly give a shit about kee...
