Yet another fanboy

[-ffs-Sniper]

Just a little bit of dumbness for your daily amusement: (No, this is not supposed to become a MTA vs SAMP discussion)

[19:50:39] vEnom: [19:21:39] Elorreli: hi

[19:22:44] vEnom: hi

[19:23:03] Elorreli: You run FFS?

[19:24:01] vEnom: I am leader, ye

[19:24:19] Elorreli: That's nice, I run the only DD/DM community in SA-MP

[19:26:49] vEnom: oh, I think I heard about you

[19:27:10] Elorreli: It's called New Dawn

[19:28:11] Elorreli: even though sa-mp is less developed than MTA it brings a lot of players and traffic to the community

[19:29:30] vEnom: I wouldn't call it less developed, SA-MP is primitive compared to MTA

[19:30:05] Elorreli: well yeah, at least on later years.

[19:30:17] Elorreli: sa-mp only has one developer and he's odd

[19:30:46] Elorreli: DM works fine as long as you don't have a huge ping

[19:31:17] vEnom: you chose wrong platform for DM

[19:31:33] Elorreli: It's the same game

[19:31:48] Elorreli: and not really

[19:31:54] Elorreli: makeing a DD/DM server in mta is like

[19:31:54] Elorreli: well

[19:32:01] Elorreli: you wont get any players since MTA is pretty dead already

[19:32:10] Elorreli: in SA-MP you can get hundreds of players fast

[19:32:41] vEnom: [19:32] Elorreli:

<<< MTA is pretty dead alreadywow, tell me more about it

we have 200 players atm

[19:32:58] Elorreli: Okay, here's the deal

[19:33:01] Elorreli: MTA has been up for what?

[19:33:03] Elorreli: 5 years?

[19:33:11] Elorreli: only lately it has started to get some more players

[19:33:13] Elorreli: maybe peak on about..

[19:33:16] Elorreli: 6000 players

[19:33:18] Elorreli: i dont know

[19:33:22] Elorreli: while sa-mp peaks on 60,000

[19:33:33] Elorreli: then there is the fact that GTA:SA is getting old

[19:33:42] Elorreli: and new mods will arise on better engines

[19:33:45] Elorreli: like rage (GTA:IV)

[19:33:54] Elorreli: GTA:V which will comse 2013 i guess

[19:33:55] Elorreli: Mafia 2

[19:34:07] Elorreli: I mean both sa-mp and MTA are old mod

[19:34:08] Elorreli: s

[19:34:27] vEnom: most of those 60 000 players dont have computers that are capable of playing all these games anyways

[19:34:30] Elorreli: none of them will be able to live as long as.. lets say CS 1.6

[19:34:49] Elorreli: Probably not but they will get

[19:35:28] vEnom: just saying that it wont happen in lets say a year

[19:35:32] Elorreli: nope

[19:35:39] Elorreli: but MTA won't get bigger than SA-MP anytime soon either way

[19:36:13] Elorreli: So you have 200 players on daily, biggest MTA server i guess

[19:36:20] Elorreli: whilst we have maybe 130

[19:36:26] Elorreli: that is quite small

[19:36:33] Elorreli: the biggest has ~5000 players daily

[19:36:51] vEnom: ther are 2 or 3 bigger servers, the biggest peaked 1196 players

[19:37:28] vEnom: MTA is far better in terms of development and features, and that is what I care about

[19:37:30] Elorreli: I don't think MTA can handle 1000 players online at the same time

[19:37:48] Elorreli: sa-mp is smaller, better peformance

[19:38:16] vEnom: you get better performance for sacrificed quality

[19:38:21] Elorreli: Primitive as it may be but lack of clientside features doesn't make a mod worse

[19:38:32] Elorreli: that's more or less eyecandy

[19:38:36] vEnom: it freaking does

[19:38:40] Elorreli: not really

[19:38:43] Elorreli: gives you a ton of server

[19:38:48] Elorreli: these guys with a bad computer you just talked about

[19:38:51] Elorreli: can't even enter

[19:38:56] Elorreli: due to 500 GB of crap to download

[19:39:09] Elorreli: to enter a server with a lot of visual stuff and crap their computers can't handle

[19:39:25] vEnom: on our server, it is one time 2MB download, most of which is images

[19:39:45] vEnom: and it is playable even on the worst machines you can imagine

[19:39:59] Elorreli: I know a lot of people that can play sa-mp drops a lot of FPS playing MTA

[19:40:05] vEnom: what you are saying is a bad excuse of Sa-MP developer being lazy

[19:40:15] Elorreli: adding clientside features

[19:40:21] Elorreli: is not a must

[19:40:29] Elorreli: and frankly I don't care about it anyway

[19:40:37] Elorreli: I mean in the end I play GTA SAn andreas

[19:40:42] Elorreli: i like that game

[19:41:15] vEnom: I couldnt play anything that looks like shit ( SA-MP ), terrible fonts, terrible graphics

[19:41:34] Elorreli: Okay so youre insulting GTA:SA the game MTA is based on

[19:41:36] Elorreli: very clever.

[19:41:48] Elorreli: another reason I dislike MTA, a community filled of insulting twats

[19:41:55] Elorreli: the very main developer

[19:41:58] Elorreli: is a total nutjob

[19:42:05] Elorreli: Should be lucky MTA team got help from rockstar.

[19:42:45 | Edited 19:47:49] vEnom: SA-MP can only use relative sizes of texts, I guess. You get the same qualiy of fonts on small 800*600 monitor as on full HD one

[19:45:52] vEnom: afterall, it is all about gaming experience. I would choose better graphics over 5000 other players at any time

[19:46:18] vEnom: You cant talk/interfere with all of them at the same time, but you are using the interface all the time.

[19:46:58] vEnom: Dont be so harsh

[Anderl]

Not to start a discussion but there may be a lot of people who insults others, but we are not like them, which DDoS servers all the time ( some people in MTA:SA do that too, but they are few ) and also his sentence about MTA developers is wrong, actually Kalcon is the one which is "nutjob". SA:MP players = 11 y/o kids.

Did MTA Team even get help from Rockstar?

[19:41:48] Elorreli: another reason I dislike MTA, a community filled of insulting twats

Well, SA-MP's player amount is sort of bigger than MTA. I want to point out something, SA-MP is up for a long time. And as based on my observations in the country I'm living in, most of kids (which are around 13 years-old) mostly playing SA-MP which don't even know what is MTA. There is just a lack of mature players playing SA-MP.

[19:38:21] Elorreli: Primitive as it may be but lack of clientside features doesn't make a mod worse

And appearently (come and see) MTA brings way way more innovations than SA-MP, has mostly mature players and it's way more esthetic comparing to SA-MP. Although MTA is having ANY gamemode of SA-MP (additionally more variety + better developed gamemode types).

Last of all, just as an example you can think MTA as a circle which contains SA-MP in itself.

The only thing I can say is: 'Quality over quantity'

[robhol]

This again, huh... well, apparently nothing's changed.

[MIKI785]

I played MTA first, it was Developer Preview, then I discovered SA-MP. I thought that it's better and played it about over a year. Then I once started MTA, it was 1.0.4 and I realised that I was a fool.. wasting over a year of playing sa-mp when there is a much better multiplayer. Now I play MTA 1.5 years and I didn't start SA-MP 1.5 years

I love MTA and SAMP sucks

[Deagle]

I know that this topic is a bit old, but I want to point out why SA-MP has got more players than MTA, although MTA is better. People who want to play a multiplayer mode of San Andreas, just go to Google and type ''san andreas multiplayer'' and tadam; SA-MP shows up. Simple as that.

I am saying this all the time, because that name is more common.
