[TL]Yossarian here. Have any of you been able to get a game controller working? It doesn't recognize my PS2 controller (it works on emulators and other pc games).
As far as other forums go, I'm pretty sure it's been posted on 4chan, and somethingawful had some servers up until a few days ago.
I got a 360 controller working for it using JoyToKey, but it wasn't really that enjoyable to use (or at least I didn't take the time to find a good way to configure it) so I went back to the keyboard.

Thanks. Yeah I just realized I could remap. Right now I'm trying shoulder buttons for throttle, and joystick for direction. Seems comfortable so far.

Yeah, I use Joy2Key with my USB Saturn controller when I play. I have R and L mapped to throttle and it works great once you get used to it. The Saturn d-pad is a little too sensitive for me to use up and down for throttle.

Agreed. The maps are way too basic for my liking. I want them to be bigger, and I want more turrets in the way of getting to the opponents base.
I want more secluded paths and things like that.
IMO there should also be a "fog of war"
ie. you can't see over walls and shit unless a team mate is over there.

fun game, but seems like the plane that can warp and go backwards rocks the rest easily tho >_<;
maybe just because im newb tho -_- but still...
also teamgames are not that fun imo... ffa is alot more fun
|
It depends on how many people there are. Small team games are alot more fun than the enormous clusterfucks where it's just pure luck if you manage to get a bomb through within half an hour. Then again, I prefer small for FFA too; just randomly shooting and hitting stuff isn't fun imo.
I also agree about larger, more detailed maps. The one that Maimer made is great; another large detailed one with a little more open space would be nice.

Maimer actually made quite a few of the maps that are played, I think. (The Core, the forest one, and the one you're talking about). But yeah, if there were a few more of those with more air space, we'd be set. I'd also really like to see a CTF mode in the game, that could be pretty awesome.

this shit is awesome! too bad a little laggy at times

i think the base destruction is kinda CTF alike... like bring the bomb to other base and intercept the other bomb.. >.<
they should think of something to get the randomness out more skillbased, as others said too many ppl on the maps makes it just a button mash fest... other than that as game modes... hmm ahrd to say... maybe some kinda all vs 1 game where the 1 is quite strong and has to stay alive as long as possible or whatever... i have no idea what kind of gamemodes games like these usually have... or maybe an elimination game where once you die you have to wait until everyone is dead like in CS and play like 7 rounds team with most wins wins... or stuff like that ... that would be nice maybe >.<;

yeah in the team games you can just fly around in a circle and spam bombs, etc in the chokes and get a ton of kills no skill required.

That's in 10vs10
In 5v5 it's very skill-based because you can't be everywhere and you have to attack while protecting your base so it's much more challenging and interresting.

I don't think limiting players is that great of an idea, but that may just be me.
Maybe bigger maps?

YEEHEE
I won two FFAs in the morning with basic loopy!
I have never one before lol.

Just finished playing with some TL folks. GGs guys!

Lol spent the whole night playing this game. Almost got lvl 34. Interesting fact : i did more kills with the grenade plane WITH backward fire cauz bomb suck in strategic play imo. How many kills i got when they were all chasing me, god it was so fun.
Didn't like the miranda's one at all. Too weak, seriously the warp is just for pussies who want to look cool ~ (or maybe i missed something cauz i'm not lvl 60 yet  )

Seems like a fun game to play in between when you're bored or whatever ^_^ Well, it's an independent game that's still in beta. Almost all of the marketing will come from word of mouth, and the game hasn't actually been released yet. Once you get to a certain skill threshold and are playing against equally skilled opponents in 5v5s and such the game becomes very rewarding to play. Well, it seems that more than half of the people on there are actually coming from here... so even if the not any big gaming related website has posted anything about this game, I still find it awkward that there are no other forums that it has been posted on. Unless it has only been released very recently. I think the game has a lot of potential.. I wish the maps would be bigger though, so there are a bit more individual skill fights or whatever
Couldn't agree more.

Well, in the hands of a very very good player, Miranda is ridiculously overpowered. You can do absolutely what you want and dodge most of ennemy's shots. With the blue perk level 60, I understand that you have a bit more life and energy so it makes things even worse.
I feel it's almost the same for the biplane one you have "flexible wings". You have absolutly great maneuvrability and very high speed, but given that your machinegun has very short range, you have to be extremely close to your ennemy in order to be effective.

can we organise a TL 5v5??
that would be awesome

That's what i like with the Miranda. Its slow and fragile and generally very hard to use. But as you learn how, it becomes very strong.
Its nowhere near "ZOMG Protoss IMBA" some people posted earlier, especially now that the laser hits only one target. Actually its quite the opposite..
And yes the biplane is very very cool.
EDIT:With the blue perk level 60, I understand that you have a bit more life and energy so it makes things even worse.
Nope, if im not mistaken the last blue perk increases the bonus of the exp bars you get by killing multiple guys without dying.
