I love the fact that people can keep their demos, it's why defrag is such a mystery !
If I had every demo, why should I play online ?
I love the fact that I can go on a defrag map, grind it a bit, check the !top and I'm like WTF are those scores ?!
And then ANNH pops in, and I'm like OMGGGG I'm lucky, I spec him and it's like I'm part of something really special. And then I'm trying to do his route and I learn a lot
That's how I love Defrag.
I love the fact that there is a BIIIG distance between people skills and routes, and that's why defrag is different from mario kart... where the same route is done over and over until people breaks their arms trying to do the same motions for years...
Another thing is that there is some cups, where people competes and you can download world record demos afterward and you can be amazed and understand subtle things
I've been in online Defrag for 4 months, Kabcorp explained what vsnap is over video conference XD, Lith explained me how to do pgb, Brigand (you right
), Chopin and stqrm gave me some demos, breaker helped with with palmslane, I had stqrm on discord voice, I've watch hundred's of maps done by ANNH, I've watch so much woody stream, and I'm learning new things everyday. I had a phone call with woody to create a tutorial about how to install and play online defrag in 2 clicks. I really don't think the community is reticent to give advices. The only rule is : people are still people, some are arrogant, some are cool, just seek for coolness and you'll like the community more and don't talk to assholes
Personally, I never talked to someone silly, maybe I will later cause I'm new, but if it happens, I will be like "Ohhh, this guy sucks, end of story"
ps: Sorry for digging an old discussion but I had something to write about that since I'm new
