Title: New Project Coming soon!
Post by: Moon Man on February 06, 2012, 06:42:23 am
Announcing Wings of Dawn: The (Non) - Director's cut! A brand new reimagining of the entire mod! You'll laugh (if you have a sense of humor), you'll cry (if you can't take a joke) and you'll get really pissed off (if you're Spoon). Created by a mystery author who might or might not be me! Stay tuned for updates!

It's either a two mission campaign or you are the fastest FREDder on Earth.

Or he waited with the anouncement till he was very far along in the development, just like Spoon himself did with WoD, if I remember correctly.

While he did all his scheeming and planning, an Apocalypse jump in behind him and smoked him, before he could blame the UEF for it. So there's no Steele in WoD.

He was flying the 42nd fighter that got smoked.

You're new around here I see. Hello! It was Wings of Dawn that brought me here too.  :)

At first I thought: Darthwang, is that you?

And then I thought: The **** is going on?


Uh, just for making it sure: Is that you, Darthwang?

One big, but split archive, rather than the files packed into their own archives seperately is certainly an ... unusual way to distribute a FSO mod.
Further comments pending the completed download.

Edit:
Okay now I finished downloading and even before starting it I was already pissed. Why the hell did I have to re-download the WoD VP files if a simple reference in the mod.ini would have done the same thing just as well, but with at least 200 MB less to download?
Moving on...
About the "intro" I don't really have to say anything other than maybe "not funny" and an epilepsy warning.

Usually I refrain myself from such harsh writing, but considering I just played through a mission where virtually every comment contained a swear word, I don't see the need for restraint toward this particular "author".

I expected something that is at least a little bit funny, but the first mission and the briefing of the 2nd are not. They are full of insults, condesention, disrespect and profanity, but not a single time I cracked so much as a smile. Actually the first mission left me angry at whatever lowlife butchered that mission.
Oh I forgot to mention, the first mission is exactly the same as the one in original WoD, but with replaced messages.

If the tone of the first mission stays, I can only recommend everyone not to download this piece of ****, though I'm willing to give it the chance to convince me otherwise by playing a few more missions.

Okay **** it, the 2nd mission is just as bad as the first, so I'm now going to just delete this piece of crap from my harddrive.
If the author of this atrocity ever works up the gut to step forward, rather than speaking through a fake account, I vote for him getting banned for at least two month from HLP!

Really mature darthwang/moonman/noodles/whoever
You must have some serious personal grudge against me if you seriously went through the effort to change every message in the whole campaign into some form of insult. What did WoD ever do to you I wonder.

My advice, get over yourself, grow up and stop wasting your time doing dumb things like this.
Any attempt to distribute this again will be met with a ban.

More of DarthWang's deep-rooted hatred against WoD.

Going to lock this, since (a) it serves no purpose and (b) it was started by someone with severe emotional and maturity problems.

I don't care who created an Alt-Nick to do this, but whoever you are, do yourself a favour and go find a life somewhere.
