no longer really interested, and too lazy to be anyways  heck

it will be a miracle if i enter a tournament anymore. maybe build something occasionally.

Post by: madman3 on February 21, 2019, 04:44:38 AM
i sometimes boot dsl 2.1 or stock up for kicks and build stuff. not a fan of the more realistic styles that became popular over time so kinda done actually building for tournaments and all that

As a new player who have played this game for 9 months now, still a lot to do and hugely interested. I have plans to build more bots and improve my skills, and host tourney two months later once my RL test stuff is over

I'm somewhere in between the first and second ones, I don't play every day due to time constraints but I'm still invested in RA2 and still have ideas for bots I want to build.
Title: Re: ra2
Post by: WeN on February 21, 2019, 06:52:23 AM
I feeling no longer interested in the game, I mean I had stop playing it after I had done hosting Beetle Wars.

Because IRL Building Style was already popular and Stock and Ironforge starting to collapse, I started to get less interested every months.

It will be rare to see me build some DSL IRL bots or probably host a stock/ironforge tournament. Because I already no longer interested in it.
you will still see me host IRL Tournament sometime.

So yeah, I'm pretty much interested in DooM now.

Been playing for over a decade, and still do play this day obviously, but with a much less passion than usual.  It feels like it has nothing left to offer or I feel like I've done all I can possibly do.  I try to keep up with the forum as a whole, but much less than I ever could.  Hosting tournaments keep me going more than usual building at times,  but it can really burn me out later down the road.  Sometimes, even those are bittersweet to me.

Still play just about every day. Come a long way since I joined GTM nearly 3 years ago now, but still got a long way to go until I feel I'm complete as a builder.

Never really had too many burnout issues either. I think the longest break I've taken from this game since I joined GTM is like a month or two

I just play for a few hours a day, I do get a little burnout every now and then, but for the most part I play Ra2 every day, since I've joined GTM I've built about 40 bots, and the biggest break I've taken is a week's break.

Been around for almost 2 years I believe, IRL scared but intrigued me when I first joined and now I'm hosting a fairly popular IRL tournament: pretty content with that. I do feel I joined this community a bit late though, if I could go back in time then I'd have joined a few years ago instead.

i think it's hard to play this game everyday cus it's pretty patience testing. other competitive games have kinda filled the void ra2 left and whilst i like the unique environment around the game and the community generally it's pretty arse to actually run tournaments for or gauge "competitive skill".
still cool when bigger tournaments happen and it's fun to watch a lot of the better matches still

I just build when I feel like I have an idea for a bot to build. I try not to force myself to build since I probably will just end up losing interest. The problem Is that once you've tried every bot type what is there left to do?

Title: Re: ra2
Post by: Naryar on February 23, 2019, 01:23:02 PM
ya, i voted "no longer interested" but it's not exactly true. i like to watch tournaments, give advice to players, see dope sh** that other people build etc.

though my actual time spent playing ra2 is at max one hour per month or so. i only ever build and you'll never see me testing builds or such.

also what reier said. IRL may be nice to look at but in the end i was never really interested by it, with some exceptions such as the best IRL builders. DSL-S on life support now, seeing the showcases. it's a bit sad considered I was one of the guys that made DSL-S along with folk like Reier, Urjak, R0B0, Madman, Scrap Daddy/Virus Bomb, 123, Martymidget etc... but things die out in time.
Title: Re: ra2
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on February 23, 2019, 01:30:53 PM
Yeah, peak RA2 for me was back in the DSL 2.1 days even with the whole Flail-pocalypse. There feels like less of a sense of accomplishment winning an IRL tournament than a standard one as half the boys you face are really designed to win.

I feel like a weird generation of RA2. Too late to be one of the "old guard" but no longer recent either.

Bring back competitive building.

This TBH.

In my case, I'm interested in watching RA2 tournaments and may give a "little" advice, but with university and me losing interest within the game overall, I don't play it as much. Partially my lack of interest is also due to the fact when I get a game, I just want to be able to pick it up and play. RA2 isn't really one of those game. Sure, contradict me and say that you can just cobble a bot together in five minutes or more. But it's about what most of the community wants: A good looking bot that fights well. Which when I try, I feel like only getting negative feedback with very little positive notes, making me feel a bit depressed. But that's just me taking in anything negative first before the positives, or me just being a little too hard on myself.

Post by: NeonCalypso on February 23, 2019, 05:03:38 PM
I play RA2 just for fun and experimentation (Sometimes the psyhics engine can be woke sometimes), apparently Iv'e had sucess with other metas rather than IRL (which is pretty suprising to say the least)
For a game thats already 15 years old, I'm suprised a community this dedicated enough to make 3 versions of it, problem with other metas is that there are no more tournaments to reinforce it, which is pretty sad tbh
Don't get me wrong I liked IRL, building stuff that looks like you saw on TV, sometimes I make stuff that doesn't exist yet (hybrids, for example), Its good fun atleast

Thats my life with ra2 in general, I can't believe the youtube's reccomended videos brought me into this goldmine

then axle glitch something, and stacking is easy as pie.

I'm a bit late.

I'm three/four on the list. I haven't played Stock or DSL in a long time and only play the RW mod extremely rarely.
I've got a job, I'm in education and writing a novel. Don't have as much time anymore to spend a day or two building something.
Still like to visit here everyone once in a while mostly cause I miss being on these types of forums all the time.

I stopped playing a while back, I occasionally pick it up again but any knack I had for building anything is long gone. I feel like my interest partially died back when the PC I had most of my stuff on croaked, though I have that things HDD still around and even though we formatted it and used it again I wonder if I can recover some things from it. Won't hurt to try.

But honestly I just got bored building stuff on my own and no one to play with due to dialup internet and no one really playing online. If we ever had the multiplayer figured out i'd love to give that a shot at some point. But I don't really have much interest in building a bot just to let the AI drive it. I'm about playing a game not just building stuff.

The online thing has mostly been solved using Parsec (which basically emulates local multiplayer except over an internet connection), and there have been a few online tournaments, though they haven't got all that much traction here on GTM.

Post by: Tygron on March 07, 2019, 10:14:41 AM
I might look into it at some point but i'd also have to get back into building things. I haven't really been a part of anything since like 2009ish or earlier so any of the meta since then is really lost on me. Though to be fair everything I used to make was also made with a ton of custom parts and stuff. But it wasn't just "make the best cheater bot" for me, it was more about making cool stuff with all the cool things lol. Wish I had pictures, some of the stuff I made was pretty ok.

Post by: Bildschirm on March 26, 2019, 08:52:12 AM
I played this game for over an year and i still love it! We will see how long that will last but i dont see an end for now. :o
Expecially the new thing i discovered for myself that you can make custom components with a completly different 3d graphic mesh. The best thing on that is is can most likely enter it to tourmanents since i'm not touching the 3D collision model!

Sounds maybe a little bit selfish but i dont think that someone can "perfect" the IRL standards. I mean when you dig deep into the game, you can do so much! Like when you tired of extenders, use plates or when you tired of plats, make an OBJ chassis. :o
I think the game has so much to offer but maybe I'm just overexaggerating xD

Love it and i think 3d mesh changing can make really good bots! :p

Okay,
Sorry to jump off topic, but...
     RA2 is dying.
      This is because Infrogrames has stopped supporting it.
       This makes RA2 crash more often.
If we want to make GTM great again, help me make RA4, because it looks like DSL more than like a new game. This will make Robot Arena live longer.

Every word of what you just said, was wrong.

Also, I still love playing this game. I've been playing for about 2 years now, including stock and DSL, and I still can't stop making new bots almost daily.

I've to agree with Superbomb with this one. Just because that Gabriel interactive and Infograms is no longer supporting the game, doesn't mean that Robot Area 2 is fully dead. In fact, GameTechMods is the reason why this game is still alive. Sure we can't stop the game from crashing most of the time, because that's beyond our control since we don't have RA2's source code, but these issues have never stop numerous users from building bots, having a go at modding, and most importantly: having fun. Just saying that RA2 is dying feels like a kick in the backside for what the community of GTM has done throughout the years. If RA2 was dead by the game's launch and had no time to build a fan base, then we would never have all these amazing community tournaments, numerous mods/AI packs and even tools like Sergepatcher.

Yes, you can argue that RA2 does pander to a small fanbase of Robot combat fans instead of reaching out to the mainstream market, but even along these fans who enjoying having so much freedom when building and customising bots, this game will remain in a special place in their hearts.

Guys,
   You may have an RA2 game that you downloaded long ago, but any RA2 game you download now will (1) fail to extract properly and (2) glitch constantly.

Be lucky if you still have a working game because any person that starts playing RA2 nowadays will witness what I just described.

As I said before, RA2 is dead, and will no longer work unless you have a really, really old RA2 game in your file.

There's no joke in this post. Robot Arena is dying. We need to continue the saga.

Redalert you just cant make a new game. First you need to buy off the Robot Arena licencse from Gabriel entertainment which will cost you atleast 10k$(or more) and nobody from this community will be able/care to pay that ammount, also making games isnt that easy, you see, you need to make physics that work and stock unity/unreal wont cut, also ima ignore that RA2 is dying bs part. Or actually... Ra2 is not dying, gtm is. Ra2 has people like orc that tend to spread ra2 stuff by hosting big tournaments


Oh yeah, i have my 2.2 copy since 2016. It works, and has went thru few computers

Guys,
   You may have an RA2 game that you downloaded long ago, but any RA2 game you download now will (1) fail to extract properly and (2) glitch constantly.

Be lucky if you still have a working game because any person that starts playing RA2 nowadays will witness what I just described.

As I said before, RA2 is dead, and will no longer work unless you have a really, really old RA2 game in your file.
I downloaded mine literally 6 months ago.

6 months ago, all RA2 games worked.

Now, it's changed. TCRR just got lucky.

I've had 4 copies running well for about 10 months?

Nice try alt-tactular.

10 months. 10 months ago you downloaded this game.
RA2 started malfunctioning 3 weeks ago from now.

Listen up, Red. Y'need to stop spreading lies. I've just downloaded ALL possible RA2 versions. Stock, DSL 2.1 and 2.2, and Ironforge. Guess what? They all opened and worked like a charm.

Next time you try to claim something isn't working anymore, at least have the decency to ****ing test out your theory first.

Thanks Kix :heart_smiley:

As for you RedAlert...I downloaded the stock 1.4 of RA2, DSL 2.2 and Ironforge 1.2 this morning and all worked fine. Whatever this issue is: you've caused it and are the only one suffering from it. Either stop causing trouble or get smart...not that I think you'll be able to do either of those. :cool:

Hey Redalert, here's a theory: You messed up your copy with one of your mods. Just something didn't import right or whatever. I know this has happened to me before. Just get a new copy from GTM and save what you can from the old save.

P.S. I hope you're just an elaborate alt by one of the boomers here that just wants to make fun of the new users. I find it extremely difficult to believe anyone truly is both this stupid and this self-important. You will not save RA2. RA2 does not need saving. We are a small, but tight knit community and have been for more than a decade. If you really want to "save" RA2 as you're claiming, sit down, shut up, and do something that's actually useful for the community instead of proclaiming that the game is "dead". Going all "the sky is falling down" helps literally no one.

one- I don't make fun of new users
two- I have been contributing downloads to GTM for a while now. If you people don't like that, then you guys are ungrateful.
three- repeat this- you do not know me.
        If you can guess who I really am, you know me.
four- The only "trouble" being caused here, is you people making a simple mistake I made into this big, stupid quarrel.
So RA2 still works. I didn't know that.

End conversation.

You can use the download page on GTM, considering thats where all of the current copies came from

For some reason, that doesn't work whenever I try. This, as I learned, is different for you people, which is why I'm asking for a copy.
