Grantlop Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 earlier on today in irc, ridgedog announced something a little worrying yogscast will no longer be using tekkit, they'll be switching over to the 'other' pack... i dont have the exact logs, but he said something along the lines of "due to our issues with kakermix, we decided now's as good a time as any to switch launchers" i know about the sticky at the top, but i felt this impacted tekkit enough to post it here and not break the rules. im wondering what other peoples opinions are on this (the whole issue, not the rules).
Hushful Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Why would this affect Tekkit? Yea, the Yogscast I'm sure drew some people to play Tekkit, but it was around before they played it and will be after they leave. Why stress about something that you have no control over?
Grantlop Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 it will affect tekkit because yogscast is still the main publicity for it, like it or not (and i do not) tekkit videos are their most popular, and all that publicity will be lost. im not stressing, im just a little worried for tekkit, thats all
vibur Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 You sure do like to post drama. Did you not learn anything from your last closed thread? Stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.
Grantlop Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 its not that i like to cause drama, i just post what's on my mind
Jorcer Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 its not that i like to cause drama, i just post what's on my mind Why should we care if Tekkit/Technic becomes less popular? How will that in anyway affect us?
Hushful Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I'm still not following the logic. How does the loss of a YouTube series dictate the death of a mod pack? Just because people, albeit semi-famous people, switch to another mod pack does not mean that everyone will jump ship and go to another mod pack. If those people are that fickle, they would leave for some other inane, bullshit reason anyway.

Lothos Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 i was more concerned with docm77 and monkeyfarm than these guys. Because frankly their crowd was more "intelligent" than the yoggies.
poryy Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 YES! The useless YogKids will be gone! Now I can play on public servers again! On a more serious note, The yogscasts fannoobs will probably leave tekkit, but the idiocy of the yogscast being removed from tekkit may actually increase the fanbase.
EarthApocalypto Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Good. I hated watching them fumble around with the mechanical side of Tekkit and downright failing at EE. (Rythian being the only exception, occasionally.)
Jorcer Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Good. I hated watching them fumble around with the mechanical side of Tekkit and downright failing at EE. (Rythian being the only exception, occasionally.) Now they will be fumbling around with the similar mods included in the FTB pack. I fail to see how this is different. If you watch them, you will hardly notice a change.

ErusPrime Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 This is why the old cliche "there's no such thing as bad press" exists. The drama between FC and technic and FTB and technic is more than enough to provide new users. It's talked about all the time. That's all people need.
Hushful Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 At least they'll fail at a pack I don't use. I'm good with it.

Sell your jaguar! Pawn your house! Leave your wives and sell your children to medical experimentations! Your main supplier of new users has left us! Doom awaits us!!!

Your main supplier of new users has left us! Doom awaits us!!! We're all doomed because the Yogscast won't play Tekkit! Oh no!

Forum Administrators KakerMix Posted December 1, 2012 Forum Administrators Posted December 1, 2012 Oh no issues with KakerMix? Is it because I didn't invite them over to my sleep over? It's cool though, I'm sure Yogscast are going to stop making their most popular and most watched series on their channel at the height of it's popularity right now, totally.
Moderators Munaus Posted December 1, 2012 Moderators Posted December 1, 2012 I wonder if there even is a slightliest possibility that tekkiteers yogscasters in here would pack their bags and move to ftb. Perhaps that's why they recruited so many moderators over there?
MaggotKing Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Let's be total asses and remove the Yogbox from the launcher while we're at it. I'm sure everyone will love the Technic community then!
Moderators Maiden Posted December 1, 2012 Moderators Posted December 1, 2012 Naw. FTB is Technic pack without the name and all the obsolete and irrelevant drama that sticks around because once egos get involved drama is the next best thing to permanent. The FTB team would have to be blind to not figure this out, as all it takes is a look at Technic forums to realize the kind of community you're going to get.
Moderators Munaus Posted December 1, 2012 Moderators Posted December 1, 2012 Are you insinuating that we have drama queens and egos here, Maiden?
MaggotKing Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 They don't last long thanks to the staff who weed them out.
Mooseman9 Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Good, the Yogscast are absolute idiots when it comes to mods in general. Although this probably isn't true, as was pointed out by Kakermix, our lord and master.
