Good morning all,

 

This week, we have the following maps in play and the Downloader has been updated.

mp_1078carentan
mp_82ab_chateau
mp_82ab_richemont
mp_78gaperon
mp_78kwai
mp_barracks
mp_beltot
mp_bocage2
mp_gb_atami
mp_cw_pacific
mp_dundygrad
mp_feba
mp_crossroads
mp_vm_brecourt
mp_hurtgen
mp_jungle
mp_lolv2
mp_matmata
mp_pds

 

Additionally for this week, we had a request for a game play change that we are going to try.

 

Artillery & Dogs...  That's right, put on your helmet and cover your ass!

With this, there is a challenge with freeze tag play so here are the settings I have set to try and not make this change over powering of fun and fair play.

 

Artillery

- 5 kill streak

- a 60sec delay between artillery strikes by the same team; this way in case of a couple of dominant players, it's not raining shells to provide the opposing team the chance to thaw

- no announcement to the other team

- kills by artillery will not count towards a kill streak

- a 10 sec delay at the beginning of the round

 

Dogs

- 7 kill streak

- a 60sec delay between artillery strikes by the same team; again, to allow better chances of thawing

- no announcement to the other team

- kills by dogs will not count towards a kill streak

- a 10 second delay at the beginning of the round

- dogs will remain active for 2min

- a total of 6 dogs will be called with max of 3 dogs alive at a given time

 

If you like or dislike, please comment:

1. Does this not work or is a particular map not suited for this change?

2. Are dogs too tough?  I can reduce their health if they are.

3. Do we like artillery but not dogs or vice versa?  We don't have play with both changes.

4. Any other issues encountered, changes, or just in general.

 

Cheers all and run fast.

 

Merlin

Not too crazy about the artillery strikes and on some maps when you call in the dogs it really lags out the game for most players, it was so bad it eventually cleared out the server!

plus it takes a whole clip to kill the dogs. I played for a few hrs tonight and there wasn't too many positive likes about the new additions of artillery strikes and dogs!

Comments from another player last night:

"First you need to remove the dogs They are Too Aggressive

and are  causing M A J O R  L A G !!  :angry: we hate them.

The team the dogs get called on get total freeze up and lag.
The team that call the dogs up don't freeze or lag.

also it takes 20 to 30 rounds to kill one dog and when you don't
kill them they keep attacking your face non stop after your frozen
until they wear out the attack and they don't run off or die they
just disappear after 5 min.

Of the 24 people playing 17 hated the dogs, the others didn't have
mikes or didn't speak English we have a lot of new bees lately.

​KEEP the artillery everybody thought it was great"

the great thing about this server was no artillery and dogs. I don't really care to constantly hear it going off.

Same here Aracefan, that's what brought me to XI and the waw freeze tag server because it didn't have the Artillery or Dogs. I love the freezetag part, not the extra additions they added!

I'm sure my time on the ftag server will decrease! I always believe that " If it ain't broke why fix it!!"

These were thing that were asked for by some so we will try them for a bit so bear with that decision. I played last night and only heard one complaint . Now if it causes a lot of problems then maybe changes will have to be made. @@Dman67 @@Aracefan

 

Thanks for your input Hunter

I am not going to complain in the game, i will just make the best of what is offered. I gave my 2 cents so i am done. I can imagine on the smaller maps where we back a team into spawn it will help shorten that game by bombing the spawn.

No I didn't mean it that way @@Aracefan as a complaint. We welcome input anything to help change things up a bit and make it more interesting and we welcome input from players  it may work and it may not. I do know sometimes we don't like change but it only has been a couple of days.

 

Thanks Hunter

Do you recall which map? Anything in particular about the dogs you don't like or just just don't prefer in general?

Here is latest comment received. Is this the consensus? Anyone else experiencing or seeing these issues?

 

 

Dogs and artillery fucking up everything now. 24 people on last night

 

 

 

and they all want the dogs and artillery turned off and I'm saying turn

 

 

 

them OFF Please. The Dogs freeze the whole game and cause major

 

 

 

Lag. 

 

 

 

I told everyone to text you and that I would ask you to remove those apps.

 

 

 

we had to skip 4 maps last night because only the super big maps would

 

 

 

let us play once some one used the dogs. The ones using the dogs were 

 

 

 

averaging 6 to 10 kills because the team couldn't move to fight back or run

 

 

 

away!

 

 

 

The worst was the fact we had to skip the best maps due to the LAG !!

 

 

 

The second worst was the artillery was too accurate every-time it was used

 

 

 

average kills were 8.

 

 

 

So with the 80% saying they played on this server mainly because it didn't

 

 

 

use dogs and artillery. At one point there were 19 people in spectate when no

 

 

 

admin were on line so we could get the game to unfreeze and for 5 min we all

 

 

 

​were talking and everyone agreed " Remove Dogs and Artillery"  or they are 

 

 

 

​going to stop coming back to freeze tag and these were all "<XI> members !

So who sent the message??? I know when I was on the other night there was 30 people playing only one small complaint. I guess if most people don't want it then maybe it needs to be turned off. I have not been on to much lately but that will change soon and I hope some more ADMINS will start to play more and give some input..@@Merlin007

I haven't experienced any problems with arty....the dogs maybe an issue....

 

I also like when people speak for themselves, so these "XI" members who will never play there again if they don't get what they want??

 

Who are they and why don't they speak up...this was announced and all were told it was something we were trying...why aren't they here putting their input in??

 

They told whomever that was they weren't going to play here anymore??? sounds silly....

it doesn;t matter to me.....as long as it is freezetag.....I will only say that the artillery is nice, but I don't think it needs dogs.

Been  awhile since I played but I still love the game! I always thought the dawgs were totally cool ! but they always lagged  1 side or the other or both ( shame they wouldnt/couldnt fix that)  Been reading the comments and have a suggestion...

Sounds like there is a need to change things up a bit(for some) , and just like always some dont  like a change at all.  Perhaps 1 day a week  (admins choice / players choice /random pic etc... change up the settings for example- health, weapons ,speed, gravity,..... tweak the settings for a day or evening bla bla bla. 

 

I played on  a cod 5  server that they tweaked the pistols so when you shot your pistol it was actually a artillery round!  Ya I know you can only have that for a round or 2 but its GREAT fun to play with some obnoxious tweaks.

 

( just trying to get my post count up)

It seems that it was only the small maps that were causing the lag when dogs were called.

On the larger area maps tonight there were a few times dogs were called in and there was

no lag.

 

but, the in your face aggression for the full minute after your dead by the dogs needs

to have the aggression turned down a bit.

 

I didn't play any of the small maps tonight but I did notice that ever since the dogs and artillery

were installed 50% of the players seam to leave an hour or more early. that makes it the last

5 days in a row that the games end earlier than normal.

If you look at the server in gametracker http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/162.248.95.175:28960/

You can go to the right hand side and look at historical data....

If you look at 7 days then 30 days it seems pretty consistent. And if you look at the server rank you can see dip 18 days ago, before the change, then it starts to climb back up in the 6 days ago section...so I don't see a huge drop off of players or rank. I wish those you say are affected would speak for themselves Dragon.

There seemed to be a drop in players in the game around 2pm est till the change was made now during that time more players are in! not sure about the later times-but its not easy to get 7 kills to get the dogs so it adds a challenge even 5 can take extra skill....anyway got a lot of interest in FT going again.....while your at it Merlin check on making the tanks one level stronger against rpg's again  just to hype up the game...good work!
