Please let me know any thoughts you have about how the classic server is playing...this is only classic during the US daytime and will still be hardcore during the EU breakfast club.

Friendly fire is on as well as mini-map, no doritos, no 3rd person in vehicles, etc.

 

Let us know what you think and if we should leave it this way or what!!!

 

Thanks!

Disapointed, I'll just go play some where else. Hope you enjoy. Softcore players love it. You now have your second server.

This Classic mode during USA time is only a trial run so everyone that wants a say this is your chance to say yes, no, etc. etc.

 

In the meantime you still have the EU HC server (don't blame ping either as I can play just as good at 30 or 120) Sometimes you just might suck and ping is an easy blame :) remember, this is BF, the netcode isn't the best and thus ping has less of an impact unless you rock the @@HellKid + more ping. We all have bad days/moments playing and it's often easy to blame things like ping.

 

We know some of you won't like the mode and some will. Those that don't, at least try it for beyond just a few games.

 

If more people want HC mode back during US time or the player counts don't show any improvement it will probably be reverted back to HC.

 

This server is mainly used by XI and foXI and a few other regulars so it's up to you all to state what you want. The goal here is to simply see if it can be populated a little more so those that do play on it can have more fun and Classic was mentioned by a few people so we are giving it a shot.

 

Me personally, I like HC more but honestly I play whatever, I play to have fun and hang out with a bunch of idiots, not to let a game make me rage (too much).

 

That all said, let the :laser: flame war begin hah

I don't care as long as it don't start overlapping the "Real Hardcore Time mode"  hope we are not coming on in the morning and finding people still playing this mode and also hope it is not switching over too early in the afternoon too, but that is just me i am sure there are US  players who played this server during the hours us Breakfast clubbers don't and who still want Hardcore., don't think it will be taking players from the Euro server.

We had a group of 5 or 6 that wanted to play HC last night, but we went to non clan servers because this was running in an empty server. We could have cranked it up. Oh well!

No, you see classic is not soft core, therefore you cant really call it a second soft core server. It is the first XI classic server for those players that don't want hardcore but also don't want Doritos. Also it will take time like always to build a fan base within a server, I wish we could have done it with a new server instead of disrupting a current server with an existing fan base but this is what the admins decided. I will do my best to support it when our other servers are active.

It's just a trial run and if the majority votes to go back to standard hardcore 24 hours a day, we can.

 

We are simply trying something different to see what everyone thought as there is nobody in the US hardcore server during most US days. Beyond the breakfast club when that server is used by our XI members, it's empty the majority of days from 8 AM to 5 PM central.

 

Another server doesn't seem feasible at this time so we are simply trying to figure out how to generate more interest and traffic in XI servers. Clearly we can't maintain an entire server if there is not going to be a population in it so this is a trial run but any suggestions that anyone has, please feel free to state them.

I say leave it as HC. I don't think a half and half server is going to work out very well. People that favorite it may favorite it thinking its classic and go back and see its hardcore and vice versa. 

I would say either a 4th server or none at all. but at this time i don't think there is enough support for a 4th server. so i would say just leave it as HC.

 

Though I do really enjoy the classic. I think it takes the good parts of softcore and the good parts of hardcore.

I'm a NO vote. It takes more bullets to kill someone than on HC. I got three hits on a guy with a .50 cal and he still makes it to my tank to plant C4. I don't see how a blended server like this will help populate the server. I think just having people in the sever is what drives others to join. 

 

I also didn't see the minimap you guys are talking about. All I saw was a health/bullet counter thing on the bottom right of the screen.

 

I applaud you guys trying new things. I'm all for it, but in this case I don't like the results. I think the servers need to be either HC or SC. A something in the middle game doesn't really work because HC fans like HC and SC fans like SC.

 

I will be a full-time EU server troll if you decide to keep this. Which is good because may be I can ditch @@HellKid.

HC fans can stay in their HC server, and SC fans can go to their softcore server, this is classic which is a completely different mode with its own fan base, which is the whole point. So basically HC fans like HC and SC fans like SC and classic fans like classic.

I support trying something different but I don't support a 4th server. Let's do whatever we are going to do for at least a month or two, it can take that long for folks to find us and add us as a favorite. THEN we look at server population graphs to determine if we have some success or not. 

I don't like speculation such as "well the server is always empty when I look at it" because that can be a false sense of real population. We all know people only stick around if there are enough people in the server to start a game. Lets focus on getting servers started and forget all the other bullshit, let's just play and have fun  :cheers:

If all of our servers are not 100% full for all 24 hours on Christmas Day, I think we should disband XI.

Just FYI , in hardcore you only start out with 60 percent health, and softcore you start at 100 percent. Do the math 40 percent more bullets to take down an opponent. What is the main objective of this game?...........DUH......hehe!................. Oh yea Classic IS 100 percent. Looks kike softcore to me.

Pud, I think everyone here understands the differences of hardcore vs softcore vs classic.  :cheers:

 

We are no longer talking about the game, right now the current topic in this thread has now changed to @@OddJob001 canceling Christmas. :2guns:   :santa:
