Server issues: my Vent

[Ides of March]

With how much money eGO spends on renting servers all we should have to do is call them and the problem should be solved. I dont understand how a company can rent out these servers with this kind of customer support.

:facewall:

He was talking about Kalt

I know. Haha. I still know far too many people that our "upper management" won't listen to. Everyone wants better servers and Kalt or even a rotating server instead of Argentan. I hate Argentan when there is only 5 people playing it.

and I hate kalt when theres only 5 people playing it.... the thing was when kalt goes 2 months without a single player leadership doesn't want to give it another go for a long while.

The ping issue started BEFORE the plugins where added IIRC?

Don't take this too far--it was changed because of a consistent average of 8-12 players (sometimes empty, sometimes full), not "2 months without a single player". I was on it nearly nightly--I'd know.

FWIW, Kalt was better populated than Argentan. In any event Anzio has been better (but not perfect) recently and is usually well-populated. However, I think "reg" is merely a weak excuse for bad aim, or someone with good aim missing once in a while!

 

[Madvillain]

Argentan could very well be my favorite map. sucks that it's far more dead than kalt ever was.. But that isn't the point here.

Good thread though. I'm not so sure that it was never mentioned before, but good none the less. I'm sure leadership is doing everything they're capable of doing to fix it, despite wack lame minecraft.

try playing on a 100 tic server that doesn't drop tics, you will notice a registration difference, i guarantee it.

I don't agree with "reg" being a bad excuse. I could care less if I miss on my own, it happens, but when I am unloading on a guy (sometimes literally in there back) from a "in-game" meter away and it says I did 1 hit, bs. Seriously the Thompson from that close should always kill a guy, especially if he doesn't see you for half your magazine and then all the sudden turns around.

Just sayin.

P.S. Wewo, you are on of the good folks that I stick around for.

 

[wewo]

Maybe I just dont notice because I miss alot on my own The only thing that annoys me is when I peek move behind the wall and then drop dead, those darn heat seeking bullets! (Yes I understand why it happens, but I still dont like it!).

Guys, honestly I think some of this has been blown out of proportion. I know that there are the lag spikes with auto disonnect are happening, other than that it is no worse than usual. Leadership is looking into it. And remeber all servers get lag. comes and goes.

I also believe that this thread was nessasry to raise attention. maybe to higher leadership.

so just keep in mind that all is being done that is possible.

Cheers,
Kiwi

Just.....the point is that we pay for a service and it has been subpar. We wouldn't be able to get away with only paying half of the rental fee, so why should the server only be half-effective?

 

[Annihilator]

Not to beat a dead horse here, but I can guarantee you I can get Kalt back up to decent numbers. We did it in the past and I can do it again. I just need access to Steam Usergroup to post announcements and I can guarantee you will see an increase in people playing. Kalt was a unique server, it would stay dead in the AM and into the after noon, but after 2 pm on it would stay reasonably full. We had a steady following of players in there that would come nightly. You didn't get a lot of griefers like you did in Ava and Donner. People just enjoyed playing the server.

Since I was not able to be around during the ousting of Kalt. This will be my only rant on the subject. Myself and Ronpaul can attest to the fact that Kalt is a great map and we once had a great following, something I think we can regain back if given the chance.

 

[I SURVIVED LONDON BLITZ]

I am with you Anni and I know we would get back a lot of our regular playerts. I am asked frequently when its coming back and I have to diappoint them with the answer.

 

[Kiwi]

Sorry. but I just have to laugh at how often a thread gets turned into a "we want Kalt back" thread.

Ok I am neither hear nor there on this one.
Maybe kalt might just do well with people now willing tt prove that kalt could stay populated. - Just a thought.

Now lets get back on topic before this gets closed

 

[Shanee]

argentan is my all time favorite map its just not ever filled.it makes me so sad

 

[Shanee]

Sorry Blue but youre wrong.

I cannot recall a time that our servers ran perfectly smooth. Our servers have had lag (and by lag I mean serious lag) problems since I joined about 2 years ago. If you cant believe that then you can at least remember the lag issues we had right before, during, and after BFBC2 came out (almost exactly one year). I remember that time well because that was also the time Donner became completely empty at night. (Coincidence or not?)

To give you even more evidence of our constant lag and server issues try to remember when our scrim team just started up. The scrim server was described as ?laggy,? ?choppy,? and ?*^&#@$%? by both you, ronpaul, and several of your opponents. And i believe the Competative team started back up 4 or 5 months ago.

Whether its lag or registry errors i reccomend we all pitch in and get you a roundtrip ticket to Texas to sort this whole thing out.

But like DK and you have said our divisional leadership is doing all they can and this issue is a top priority. With that, im confident well get our servers squared away.

texas yea! road trip road trip!

We've always been willing to prove it...

We at one time had pushed Kalt into the top 20 DOD servers. I know we can do it again.
