Starting this Sunday, and every 2nd Sunday afterward, We will be hosting an open Lobby War. All thats required is teamspeak.
In Goztow's words:
| Quote: |
As Renegade is losing more and more players, we thought it would be nice to create a 2-weekly event where we try to bring our (ex?)-Renegade members together for some fun games.
Featuring... our very first of a brand new series of public I-CW!
The concept is simple: we meet at 8 PM UK time, join our public server and have some nice games. We'll try to get the automatic TS changer functional as well.
Will be joining us as well: some people from Renegadeforums and other communities, if they wish. The event will be open for all. The idea is to have clan war styled public lobby wars. For old times sake.
|
We did this a few days ago, and it was pretty fun. The server was set to remix teams and we all stayed in the same teamspeak channel - The goal is to have teamspeak automatically switch us onto the proper team channel, so the games are more strategic and clanwar like. Sort of a hybrid clanwar/public server style match. This way, we don't have to worry about making teams, or the teams turning out one sided. Every map will be new teams, but you'll still be able to communicate as if you're in a private channel. That might not be up and running for this upcoming match, but there is still the possibility of making teams lobby war style, or just all playing in the same teamspeak again.
Special Thanks to thekoss2.org and Goztow for providing the server and teamspeak, and for taking my '1 or 2 lobby wars a month' idea to the next level. And if you can make that auto-changer work for teamspeak... wow.
Next Game: Sunday November 21st 3 PM EST

*sigh* here's Whiskey's post about ping from last CW, where you also spread your FUD:
| Quote: |
I just sat in there and was getting as low as 130 ping to a high of 180, but never over 180. As long as there is no SFPS spikes, i'm good with anything below 200.
|
n00bstories and jelly are both American servers, how do you think us Europeans play in it? Even slightly above 200 is playable as long as it doesn't bounce up and down.

why should the majority lag when it could be the minority?
Also, EU datacenters are of lower quality than ours
|
1. I'm not the one choosing which server is used, all I'm doing is co-organizing an event for Renegade players to enjoy. I don't have an American server, so I cannot put it at disposal
At your 2nd statement, I can only laugh out loud.

How can teams not be unfair? If its auto-remix, teams can be remixed unfairly. Also, FYI to anyone in the US, its an EU server so expect 200+ ping (saying this now instead of people dropping midgame).
This should be posted around a few different communities tho to make sure enough people come out.
|
Actually, when we did this last weekend I did not lag one bit. It actually played just as good as a server in the US would, if not better.
Duh teams can be remixed unfairly, but the odds of them being remixed unfairly consistently aren't likely, especially since 1 and 2 are not on the same team the next map.

Unfortunately I probably won't make it this time around.
@Troop, The server might not be the perfect American server that would give us 50 ping... but for a Euro server it actually is really good. Try it for a series before judging. Also, we should be thankful that we have ANY server. I don't see any American's offering their server for use. Do you have one that supports 30 people that we can use? Didn't think so.

rcmorr told me he played a lobby war and that you were literally screaming at him on teamspeak because he didn't glitch his c4s
judging with your history (leaving games and taking screenshots when you're ahead to fake a win) i'd say it's a large part of your technique
|
HAHA, ive never heard anything so made up...ive never even played with rcmorr afaik, only agianst him. When will you just admit you are bad at this game and thats the reason you will never play me and find out for yourself?
@whiskey, its not like im making this up...im sure you've complained about EU servers back in the day too. Im guessing this is not as important to you because you just want to get anything going these days, but lets atleast set some kind of stardard, and yes ive played countless times in that server already over the years. And there is people willing to put up a US based one, mine is 20 slots right now but I can easily up that, and ask simpee, nunega, karmai etc what kind of ping they get in there.
Call me picky, but I no longer have the patience to play in server I even get 150 ping in tbh...

Troop's whining about servers really makes me laugh.
Gozy, you can use the Exodus box as a backup in case you have any issues.
I'm pretty sure our box is working fine..
Drop me a pm if you want it, then i'll set it up tomorrow...

update
i'm not sure this'll take place as planned, don't know if gozy will be on and it doesn't look like they've put the teamspeak team-channel thing on.
stay tuned though
