Stop this guy. If players dont want to play his zone , why is he even allowed to do that?

To clear up what he's saying if you weren't there:

HellSpawn used *lock in public1 of a 35 player arena and then told them the only choice they have is to go to Cazzo Forge

That's bullshit

Meanwhile VC gets banned for using *spec all during a match. Smh, double standards.

WTF?

He says he got permission from Mizzouse to "force players in to Cazzo Forge as long as it doesn't fade the overall population". He took this to mean he could forcelock the arena and tell us all we HAVE to play CF.

Jovan told him to cut the shit, after the night was halfway faded already. He has proceeded to log on the dual combo of bytes+hellspawn and crash the SB going on in KR right now twice.

Series of events went like...

Cazzo Forge had all the population...

Crashes started to happen.

Hellspawn believes crashes intentionally were caused by a player using an exploit.

Hellspawn sets up Red vs Blue in KR so everyone has something to play while he and myself worked on a couple potential fixes to crashes. The idea was to get everyone back into Cazzo once the fixes were in so we could resume testing tonight. The fixes were completed ( I was working on reducing map size the entire time first red vs blue arena went up) and the time to fade the Red vs Blue game was prime.

Hellspawn uses spec all and lock on the red vs blue arena that he created so everyone would go back into Cazzo.


What went wrong is that HS is under the 100% assumption that the Cazzo crashes are intentional. Being that he feels this is the cause, he doesn't want to let someone sabotage Cazzo. This kind of skewed him to believe he needed to retaliate against whoever he thought was force crashing cazzo by getting them back into the zone right away.

The real main thing is there wasn't any communication to the public arena of what exactly was going on ,that red vs blue would only be played for 30 minutes, and that the arena would be dissolved after one game to repopulate Cazzo. I definitely take partial blame for this as I should have thought ahead and made sure this was communicated to the public arena.


In the end, Hellspawn is trying to do something that has the potential to benefit the game greatly. A good variety of players who have tried Cazzo out have had plenty of fun and seen the potential behind the map design and warp concept. It's still in early testing so it's only going to get better. The most damage that was caused by the *lock was 5 minutes of people being in spec unable to play red vs blue.

Throughout history of infantry, force testing has happened. It's necessary for proper zone advancement. Could we have just waited till tomorrow to try to populate Cazzo again? Sure. It would have a cost a day's worth of testing however. Any future attempt I'm involved in force testing I will try to make sure is communicated properly.

Ban Rico then, is his fault

Except hellspawn is a psychopath who's ego is directly tied into his maps.
Octs version of events would fit someone who's mentally stable

Oct works at Sonic and thinks he's a cook. Lets take this for what it is.

Sounds like some Hillary Clinton shit. Ban octavian

i no longer trust hs. it seemed very much like he spec'd all and spec locked pub, then but on an arena msg telling everyone to go to his test zone. boycott hs' zone. this is not right.

It's one thing to want to funnel testers to the new zone, but to liberally force them by essentially closing the other zone is overboard.

If a pub game gets going because your test zone crashes, then take it as a sign testing is done for the night. No reason to interrupt current gameplay and fade the game.

The test zone only had population because events were disabled.
I’ll be sitting afk with 5 on kr and events disabled come back to a crqshed zone. Can’t even afk in the zone we want without a desperate attempt to force test. The lengths taken by a few to create change without discussion to the community is pathetic
We log on to play usl, once people got what they wanted they went to red blue. To be forced out of what you wanted all along because it was disabled mid season for no reason.
Test in the off season. You’re forcing players to already not play what they expect.
How many players do you think would have come test if you didn’t force lock? Probably under 5 willingly. How many would come test hs zone of events worked properly? Probably not as many.

People have been posting asking why events aren’t working. No response on forums.
The only response I got was oct usl mail saying hellspawn and oct are trying to force testing on a new idea mid season.
Can’t really put my finger on it but this isn’t right or fair.
Remember this is the usl site. Free infantry has another site if you want to test an idea for free infantry start at the right site. This is usl not hellspawns playground.

I thought hellspawn was only powered in test zone how did he get powered to disable and lock league arenas?

Correction, The game is FreeInfantry, USL is hosted within the game. Get it out of your delusional head that USL is the only thing keeping this game alive and somehow takes precedent over anything else, cause you're dead wrong.

PS, it probably WAS you that was forcing Cazzo Forge to crash, stomping your feet like a child not getting what he wanted, pretty immature considering what Octavian and I are trying to accomplish with this new zone. But fuck that right? You're all tunnel visioned into believing that this game = USLZone lmfao.

What other zone do people log in to play? You are on USLZONE.COM, after all.

Who woke up the old HellSpawn?

If you have to ban players from USL to play other zones on Free Infantry, then yes, USL is what is keeping the game alive.

Where are the 50+ people and counting that have joined the discord in the last couple months? Maybe 3-4 of them have stuck around only to not be able to play the game or are lumped onto statpad squads JUST TO PLAY THE GAME cause of the ~50 people on decent squads seem to think they have a stranglehold on this game with the delusional theory that USL is "keeping the game alive" when in reality it's strangling the life out of it.

Next time these kinds of crashes happen I'll investigate the logs more thoroughly.

It's better over all to fix the loopholes that allow crashes to happen than to have two zones derailing each other over population.

Arena locks should be used very sparingly. If people want to play a zone, don't lock their arena.

Having said that, if there is a new zone that is under development (is marked as Public Test or otherwise), I do ask the community to make themselves available while in-game to hop in and help test when asked to do so. It won't be as fun as playing a full match, there might be a bit of back and forth and zone recycling while some bugs are being sorted out on the spot, but you will be aiding the development of the zone greatly by doing this and in turn, making Infantry better over all.

Is this how CTFPL died?
