Even though the connection was good they wouldn't let us run some admin tools etc because of security (as i understood it, please correct me anyone if im wrong...im sure you will anyway lol) so the powers that be changed hosts so that we could utilize these tool sets again.
However the trade off wasn't worth it at all IMO. Between changing hosts and redevelopment of the mod we have had a plethora of dramas. Naturally everyone blamed the mod redevelopment as the cause but i believe its mostly the host. I cant prove that, im no server whiz kid but simple deduction that everything was working fine before the migration points to only one thing...
We have our best and brightest on it so im confident it will get sorted but i sure do miss the days where i could jump on and actually enjoy my gaming experience with our clan mates and guests. Just speaking for myself, i know my attendance has gone from everyday gaming to maybe a couple of maps here and there, however i still log on to the website everyday to see what everyone's doing and to keep my tags current.
No one could have foreseen the trouble nor knew it was going to screw us internationals over ping wise when we migrated, it just did.
I played a few maps last night and found my normal run and gun style is hopeless now and as Jumper says its hard to hit anyone up close so i tried sniping and that helps get some points on the board but harder to defrost your team mates if your camping..this might have to be my new gameplay, camp and pick people off the best i can.
Oh well shit happens right? Anyways im going up the mountain now for a ride while the air is still cool, first one of the year hopefully the police aren't up there yet so i can put some effort in lol. i might pop in this afternoon (AEST) and play a map or two. Cheers!
