Gwx Haters

[Retzer]

Ok, how bout this one. I play GWX SH3 multiplay as much as I can. But when I ask People if they have GWX installed they of course say no and proceed to call me names. For the life of me why dont more people have GWX installed? I also have a hard time finding people that do have GWX even playing multiplayer. I hosted numerous games this weekend and only a few guys had GWX, while numerous people continued to ask what GWX was. Is it not know very well yet that GWX is out there? Id have to imagin that if they knew it was out there they would get it.

[AVGWarhawk]

I think GWX is for the crowd that like some realism within the game. Some just can't get it as dial-up is not fast enough. Some are on just to taunt people like yourself. Don't let it get to you because this means they win the stupid little battle. You will find the same stuff on other servers for other games that support multiplayer. Usually I do not see many playing on line as it is. Hang out and eventually a player with GWX will come around:up:

[melnibonian]

GWX Rocks:up:

As far as multiplayer check out this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=104578. Mr Chris, Danlisa, Jimbuna, Seth and others do play MP quite often, so if you want to join up just pop over to TS and say hi;) :D

Stick to the GWX. It gives a whole new dimension to the SH3.

[Ducimus]

Every fanclub has its diehards that refuse to change their views. In this case i think your probably looking at diehard NYGM fans who out of total ignorance and bias, refuse to even look at anything GWX. Likewise there's some GW diehards who reuse to look at anything NYGM. Personnaly, id just dismiss it as ignorance and move on. If they want to look at the game through a set of horseblinders with a very limited and narrow view, thats their perogative - and their loss.

[mr chris]

Very true Ducimus:yep:

Retzer, You are most welcome to join us when we play GWX online. I can tell you know that you will not get abused by any of us. I find it very sad indeed that someone who has taken the time to put up a server and host a game get slagged of for his choice of mod he is using. Im my opinon these people need a good smack in the face with a metal shovel.:yep::yep::yep: Maybe this might knock some sence into them.
At this moment i and several others are testing the latest GWX patch so will not be playing online at present. But as soon as the patch is out we will be back online playing. Though i have noticed that Stabiz has been playing GWX online quite a bit of late he is a stand up guy so if you see him hosting a game in the thread that Mel pointed too. Try and join him for a game im sure he will make you most welcome.:up:

[danurve]

AVG is correct. I mean when ever you have a good game with mods & mods & mods available eventually you wind up with groups of users/player who like the game a certian way, their way, and that's that.

Several of the 'supermods' even seem at odds with each other. One makes your boat sink, the other rise etc. :doh:

Myself I like to add what changes I want, not so much what or how any mod or player wants to change for me. I have been through the readme's and manuals of all mods I consider, twice.

I would think it's a sad day for any group of players to form a love/hate for any mod or set of players & how they have made their choice as to how they like the game.

What I do find annoying is when certian questions are posted and you always have one or two that must chime in with mention of a particular mod as some cure all. As good as any mod may be if this makes them feel they are a better player then I, I have a long peir at the end of Kiel they can go for a jog on.

[Jimbuna]

@Retzer

Your always welcome over on TS kaleun :yep: We're not such a bad bunch :nope: ...a little crazy at times :lol: ...but what the heck :rotfl:
As Chris has pointed out, a few of us are beta testing the GWX update right now but are still 'contactable' on TS and will definitely be back amongst MP pretty soon :up: :arrgh!:

[STEED]

How can anyone hate GWX :o I am in shock!!!!!

GWX has been a boost to SH3 and it's great. :rock:

[mookiemookie]

Maybe they're arcade shoot 'em up kiddies who don't understand the fine wine that is realism. :know:

[Jimbuna]

The answer is prob just like Ducimus says in #5 :yep:

[ReallyDedPoet]

GWX:up:

[stabiz]

I think its mostly people who dont know what it is, remember many buy games without ever joining any forum looking for mods. (I notice alot are playing version 1.0 too:o Why in the name of ...?)

We are a small part of the SH3-owners, but I`ll bet my rear tube that there is a growing number of GWX users.

Anyway, I have seen GWX servers almost every time I have been online lately, so there is hope. (I wont join you guys online for a few weeks, my new broadband is coming, the leeching of some neighbour has been stopped by a password.:rotfl:)

[IceGrog]

all the guys i talk to have.......... but then i only talk myself, or maybe i'm the only one who listens to myself............... a little bit too much,,,bad day at the office
to me GWX is worth all the download problems that i ran into:up:

great signature Kpt. Kozloff, one of these days i'll get one:oops:

[CruiseTorpedo]

Is GWX the same as grey wolves 1.1a? Can someone post a link to the main grey wolves web site?

I've been playing GW 1.1a for a long time, love the mod! Would have tried NYGM but I couldnt get it to work right :( Grey wolves installer is pretty simple and user friendly.

[mr chris]

GWX is a totally massive upgrade of GW1.1a to download GWX just click the link at the bottom of my sig to D/L from my FF site.
Here is the link to the manual so you know what GWX includes.

It's like when I started playing Miss PacMan and my buddies started hating on me because they styed "true" to the original...Well, they were wrong, Ms PacMan rocked!!! PacMan Jr, on the other hand, blew. But Miss Pacman??? Awesome!!!
I'm still waiting for the Miss Pacman GWX mod to come out so that we attack "en masse"...:rock::rock::rock:

[Jimbuna]

GWX now boasts over 11000 downloads :rock:
What other mod can compete with that :hmm:

[danlisa]

Non-believers.:o

Next time you encounter these types, give them the link for Subsim and point them towards the screenshot thread and the GWX manual.:yep:

Let the conversion of these heathens begin.:arrgh!:

:rotfl:

EDIT - @Jim, where did that figure come from?

I haven't tried NYGM, but I have gotten GWX recently. Let me tell you I am trying very hard to find fault. In case no one noticed, I am a Type II fan (hence the sig): Saw first fault: AH! They gave an extra torp to the type II. I did some research and could only find 5 torps... so I though "...this is no good". :nope: Then someone here tells me that in real life they would carry 6...now that to me is taking realism to the extreme...which I like! Who cares if it was only supposed to carry 5...seriously, if you were in a Type II during the war, wouldn't you stuff as many torps as she would carry? I'm sure they did too... :up: Excellent stuff.

My second criticsm was that they made the uniforms too rigid and alike. But then when you examine how they dress in Das Boot or you look at old u-boot photos, they aren't really like the stock SH3 but more like GWX. Stock SH3 looks like the crew were in a charity shop when a bomb went off. A bit OTT in my opinion...

Third criticsm...they gave the Type II a paint job. But...so what? Every photo I have seen of a Type II is exactly like the one in GWX with just a hint of rust...not the rust bucket stock SH3 gave us.

So my only criticsm left is the bagpipe music...which isn't bad just slightly long. And that's just a matter of taste...also considering I love all the other music...:yep:

As for the visuals...let me give you some examples:

Stock SH3 without GWX (with my old FX5500)

With GWX and my new graphics card (Radeon X1650 Pro)...look how beautiful she looks :cool:

And this picture I find breathtaking....it has so much detail and adds so much to how the stock game looked...this picture looks very realistic even for a flight sim:

And you guys with your powerful graphics cards can do even better...GWX is easily worth money...and we get it for free...what more do you want? :up:

Hi, Bagpipe music is one of those 'either love em or hate em' situations. I'm the latter .. heard enough droning to last a lifetime !

BTW .. noting your cranes in bottom picture; some cranes will be moving in some Docks in SH4.

This is the point were you say, 'The proof is in the pudding'......I'll have seconds please. GWX is a nice piece of super mod work.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Well, at good old Terrapin's site... one of the headlines states that 2.5 TERRABYTES of GWX data was downloaded from there this month. http://mpgtext.net/u-boot/

I wonder how many DL's that amounts to.

(I think I'm on his poop list though. I overlooked getting him a copy of GWX prior to release day.) :-?

Well you cant please everyone all of the time but you sure try.

[Hartmann]

GWX and NYGM are a very beatiful mods, :up:

I Always have to change things with a personalised pack , for example some sounds , change map tools like protractor and ruler add a nomograph, uniforms, boat skins, sea floor, but by the other way are a very good start point for everybody who wants an Expansion withouth problems and the pain of merge together a lot of small mods.

Alot of players dont like GWX because they are arcade players and prefer the arcade like stock SHIII with one shot kills:D

I love GWX it rocks :up:

True, but I would dare say more have come the 'Darkside' and loaded GWX!

[JU_88]

I ask myself, without GWX would I still be playing SH3?


nope :D

[Doc1234]

All:

i have tried both NYGM and GWX and I loved them both. I think the number one thing to rember is DO YOU as the player like the mod(s) you have installed thats what is important :D Secondly, I think its great that there are people out there making mods that we can all enjoy...my two cents

[Sulikate]

Man, I wouldn't be the same Kaleun without GW.:smug:

[Linavitch]

Ok, how bout this one. I play GWX SH3 multiplay as much as I can. But when I ask People if they have GWX installed they of course say no and proceed to call me names.

Sticks and stones......

Be happy with your superiority complex:up:
