The Good Ol' Days

[Hash]

Good ol' alpha 2.0
It was fun back in its day, I thought maybe it still would be, So when I read this thread I decided I would go play the alpha, I had it on a disc somewhere. I installed it, played it, and shut it off in around 2 minutes. I couldn't get anything out of it except for laughing at how much better the beta is. Alpha used to be fun, but it must make way for the new.......ALL HAIL BETA!!!

u kids cant recall the good ol days! the good ol days are the days of alpha 1.5 forums! i remember, back before pretty much anybody was a moderator, judge would make fun of somebody for not knowing dbz common knowledge, and i would get mad at him, we would spam and flame, see back then, there were only a couple members who ever posted, so a good flame was welcome as long as it didnt turn too hateful or vulgar, and whenever u would use ki blasts, the server would lag up cause it shot about as fast as a machine gun, but i actually liked it like that, and i remember, after seein that pic of ssj trunks, that was my first model edit i ever did, i just took the head of dmz trunks and put it on the esf body, and of course, the kamehameha was a big blue meteor that traveled slower than a station wagon, and the gallict gun was just a big red meteor that traveled about as fast as that station wagon, ahhh the good ol days

I have played A2.0 alot and it was indeed fun.. ad it backedup but lsot it on reformat. to bad.

beta indeed is cool but alpha was fun 2.. indeed those explosions...

 

[darklord_avalon]

HEH yea I remember those explosions and when they used that weird looking picilo (I think) for the unfinished models it was really cool, the explosions were better and bigger I think?
I remember trying to join an online game but because of my satalite connection I lagged to death and couldnt even get past the char selection thing. the game has progresssed alot,,, but my connection hasnt..... -.-'

Good ol' days...And now it's the brand new days where you all get pwned \o/

 

[SailorAlea]

The good old days, where the word 'HOWER' wasn't used every five minutes, despite the actual style of melee the person uses.

Today's mentality:
"You beat me, so YOU HOWED!"

 

[Lynxy]

Call it whatever you want, HOW, style, skill. It still sucks, period.

Today's mentality:
"I'm new to ESF, so I only learn how to headon and charge ki instead of exploring melee to expanded options."

 

[super pookie]

lol those were the days....fun big explosions

 

[Akira714]

The good old days was when everybody was happy and there wern't any attack spammers, complainers, flamers, etc.

 

[SailorAlea]

Akira, there have always been Attack spammers and complainers.

As for Lynx..
While that may be true that newbies only learn how to "HOW," the vast majority of people who accuse others of "HOWing," aren't.

I've spent countless hours in =PT= Primordial Tendencies, and thegamezone.nl, and I have only seen about 2 cases, out of over 500 accusations, of "HOWing."

It's reduced to an insult, such as saying "You f a g!" but they don't actually have to be homosexual; just as someone saying "You HOWER!" because you beat them, doesn't mean you're HOWing.

Example: I'm watching two people fight. One teleports and charges for .75 seconds, and then the other person chooses that time to attack them.

The person charging for less then a second, takes off, teleports above the guy, hits him, and the loser SCREAMS "OMFG HOWING!!"

I remember 1.9 first and foremost, it was the version I was playing when I joined the forums (the old, UBB ones). I had never played 1.5 much, but I remember getting a huge kick out of 1.9, I remember the solid, bluish-grey spirit bomb, the flat beam-heads on the transparent lines, and, as mentioned above, the "Super secret code to be Cell". Ah, and the old, blue, spinning aura! And, very true, whem 2.0 came out, Big Bang and Final Flash were the biggest things since sliced bread...I generally stuck to Gohan for that reason, I felt like being different, and mastering a slightly weaker character. Felt good to be hunted

 

[ArchNemesis]

rofl its a shame ppl dont have fun with a game anymore like they are supposed to... they go and channel it into some sort of... excuse to be pissed... oh well u cant change how everyone looks at things...

 

[Synth]

damn akira you brought it way back for us with that pic. there ain't even a hud on that version. which one was that?

 

[Akira714]

If I remember correctly, it was the first release of ESF. From like 2 years ago.

 

[Lynxy]

I started playing when 1.0 came out, which was best if you ask me.

As for SailorAlea, you should visit the EVM servers when they're available. By then you'll get to know what HOWing is. Daily I get people saying they can own me, as I fight them I get to find out that they're HOWers who aren't even worth to fight. I usually end the fight by beating them, and leaving to another server.

Anyway this is going incredibly off-topic, if you want to continue this go on in the HOW topic thingy.

 

[Madd Dog]

as for the beams, i think the trials were awsome then, and for PS too, however the explosions may look better in a pic but the animations of the explorions in beta 1.0 and 1.1 are heaps better, big ones expland slowly then spread out really fast in a big flash.

edit* i started playing in alpha 2.0 days, man that was fun, id love to get a copy again, i might check some download cd'sn and help some of you ppl out if you cant find it ne where else.

 

[D.C. Darkling]

Now that version I didn't see. lol

 

[Miyako]

Alpha 2.0 was the first I played, and damn... that was fun :yes: I have posted some screenies in another topic, but I'll post them here too ^^

This was waaaaaaaay back when Miyako (me) and [nl]prosac were powerstruggling. I beamed Final Flash (back) and [nl]prosac made a Gallit Gun (front, in ssj4 form) Anywayz, it was a _big_ bang :devgrin: Prosac made the pics btw.

[Hitokiri]

Mad fun, and I did really like the beams/explosions, however today ESF is about 100x better. Alpha doesn't have enough nostalgia to pull my arse back into the crudhole :]
