Yeah, I wasn't sure where to put it....

But I just got this game a few days ago. It's fun (played with my sister), and though 'm still not the best in the world (haven't mastered the Strafe Jump yet), and I don't really like the one-shot kills, I'd want to play online sometime maybe.

Yes, I am a girl. Just thought I'd say that to inform you all.

What do you mean, "Play online sometime" when you play it, don't you go into the 'Join Game' option and join a server?

I haven't yet. I've only played my sister a few times, just against each other.

Welcome UltraByte

Don't let the "boys" intimidate you

Not trying to put this thread down but this is the reason why need a "New Players Post Something About Yourself" thread.

i'll beat the boys up for you. lol I think DP is quite difficult for a beginner... it may be harder then playing Q2 mods, think of it has Q2 Instagib but with paintball. lol (Maybe there should be a beginner DP server

)

kilo, i sorta agree that there may be a need for "Newbie" forum... just so they dont get intimidated by you veterans

lol

I've watched my dad play Quake (1 to 3 Arena), Unreal Tournament, and Farcry as a kid, so I've picked up a LOT from him (strafting, reflexes)... I'd play in the generic public servers, but I'm a bit.... shy, I suppose.... when I play online games.

Just join a server and give it a go thats my advice. Its fun once you get into it and see yourself improving. Welcome and hope you stick around

Which are you referring to? the veterans? by that i mean the players who've been here for a while. i was part of that group (sorta). if you meant the newbie forum... it's just an idea.

one thing i have found on some server is that some players (new or old) are quite rude. there are those who swears all the time (for no apparently reason and then bind a key and floods/spam)... there are those who thinks they are the best players and should own every player and when they get killed, they insult you like you were cheating with hacks. But they are a handful of players (just one too many) and most people are quite nice.

(sorry, didn't mean to insult anyone)

Welcome to DP. Crusaders of War (CoW) love to help and teach people. Look for as in the GT, dew, and SI clan servers. We would be more than happy to give you some pointers and work with you. As a side note.. I'm probably going to get a server from jits for the crusaders which I will cater to the newer players of DP.
moo!!! flip a.k.a kidwar

The spamming is usually cut down because it keeps you from chatting for several seconds, and eventually kicks you if you continue.

It also temp bans when it kicks you.

oh...

hee hee
I'm not sure what to consider myself, I remember playing DP when it was Q2 mod... and after so many years of not playing... DP is fun again

(not to mention low computer requirement. haha) Hey, jits should advertise that on DP... "Digital Paint: even slow computer can run it"

i tried the /ignore bind... but it wanted an ID number, didn't work for player name... thanks for the link p!nk.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #16 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:31:50 PM »

If you don't want to here anybody use ignore all.

Xena · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2007, 06:36:33 PM »

oh... but it's always one player who spoils it... ah well, i'll just ignore those visually... lol

jitspoe · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2007, 06:52:25 PM »

Type "players" to get an id.

Xena · « **Reply #19 on:** August 18, 2007, 01:43:56 PM »
