Woohoo...here's hoping

WTF??? Tried getting on this afternoon and ping is sitting at 345 steady. Have you guys moved servers to Mount Everest or something. Cant even join now....you guys made dam sure I'll never get another game with you

That's a great idea! We use this type of gameplay in DayZ however its never been one on one. There is a huge town & associated area we play within (rely on our honesty) and we hunt each other down. If anyone knows the game it usually centres around Cherno & Balotta to give you an idea of size.

That wasn't my intention to cause "disruption" and it certainly wasn't a bitch. But I guess what followed was a general discussion of how the pings have gone to shit for some people since the last move. If as an Admin in your position(& also located in Canada) then tells us all who have an opinion to pull our heads in and take it or leave it...then, as I first commented... I'm out of here! Happy trails Shit head!

There seems to be a growing consensus here....& a roll back to the older Mod is good move I think was the other gripe....

iT'S WORKING

Why the changes? With the exchange rates do you get the Servers much cheaper than in the US ;-)

hi guys been fun playing on your FT server over past few years. I had a bit of a break but came back recently and found your servers have moved again and like many of my Aussie friends, are finding it unplayable. I play on other US servers with much lower pings and will hope that one day you go back to a US server so we can rejoin you guys. Have fun everyone! Long live COD4 Poddy

What do you expect from Idiots...

That will count most of us Aussies out unfortunately

Just bought the game & put in about 20hrs this weekend. Awesome game...but freaking hard! Tried out your server as well but same old problems of high ping when playing on USA servers. Still 250 or so isn't too bad. If anyone wants to add me as a friend on steam I've joined your main Xi Steam group and look for "poddy" in members section. cheers

I'm an Aussie and always play with a ping over 260. I'd swap my ping for anything under 100. I never win the 50/50 - thats when both players see each other and shoot at the same time...100% death rate there. I'm always trying to anticipate and I need to be able to shoot a split second sooner than the other people with the better ping. Often I'm shooting at people and they walk through my bullets, turn and shoot me...pisses me off to no end...you'll usually hear me growling when that happens a lot. You have to take the good with the bad playing on high ping servers. If I get time I'll record some gameplay of me shooting players and them walking through my bullets if you dont believe me. If it gets real bad some nights all you can do is camp it out...like Nighto does! Just imagine if tables were turned and Xi had an aussie server......we'd kick your ass good and proper...oh hang on .....Prinny already does!!

Hi Toy Soldier, I like the new Mod you've got on 4.2. It's same weapons I think Sammy using on new TDM server here. Be cool to get a few Xi guys up against MSOB clan....kick your asses like Genesis used to do...just ask Qualicom.

Hahhahaha...thats for when I'm 80yr old

The game is definitely not for everyone. I probably got into it when I was sick of the "run & gun" bunny hopping dirtbags...& yes, I'm getting older & reactions are slowing. When I was with Genesis(extinct Aussie Clan) it became more social playing. Just having a chat while walking around. Takes a little less concentration than run and gun. Configs stop the camping and running to a degree but some maps people just can't help but snipe or camp. Selecting the right maps helps when it comes to types of guns used & gameplay. As much as I like it, some days I can't stand to play it as it is slowed right down ...der...it is crouch after all. Thats probably how I came to find you Xi guys. It's not for everyone, just thought maybe a few here would like to try it.

Its a MOD you either like or dislike just like TDM or Freeze Tag. It makes for a more tactical style of play with good team communication & for the "thinkers". The MOD polices the camping & running as you set up the config's to make you run out of breath which slows you down to a point where you actually try to avoid running. You learn how far you can run from fire before that happens. Just putting the idea forward as there still a lot of interest out there...maybe just not here @ XI.

Hey guys just wondering if you have ever had or are interested in having a crack at the Crouch MOD for COD4? Pretty sure its the "Openwarfare Mod". You seem to have a few idle Servers and could be worth a go if there are any fans out there.

Maybe your gameplay was soooo bad it decided to deduct points mate...LOL. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Just a quick question if you dont mind. Is this server set to Hardcore as it says when you join the server? Normally Harcore would take 1 or 2 shots to kill whereas this server runs like a softcore. Makes gameplay for me nearly impossible to enjoy with my high ping in comparison to the MW2 freezetag server.

No rage quit...just bored at being killed so much..

Pizza - Beer - another Beer....and any old gun will do....WOOHOO!!

As usual being in Australia I get 250+ ping. That said I play on Freeze Tag servers @ 270-300 ping and it plays well for me. On this server today I played a bit with the boys and could generally only hit stationary targets, or people moving directly away or at me. I found it almost impossible to hit targets moving sideways due to I'm assuming latency issues. Some good things about this mod thats enjoyable though. Good alternative to Freeze tag.

HNY to you and all the other Idiots....which one is you Misty?

Also GTX cards using GeForce Experience have a thing called "Shadowplay" which uses inbuilt chip that records in background. Doesn't muck around with frame rates at all! I use it recording Arma 2 and DayZ and the quality is terrific. The size of file recorded can be pre-set anywhere from 240p to 1080p and up to 20 minutes back. Manual recording is also available for longer periods. It records all in game sound + your mic. http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/shadowplay I used FRAPS before this but did find it used a fair bit of PC resources.

G'day Idiots We are a bunch of Aussie, Poms, Kiwi's of mature age just chilling out of an evening or over a weekend chatting and running wildly through the countryside (sometimes naked). Looking for any Idiots(not immature Assholes) to join up with some friends of mine in DayZ standalone. Hopefully there are a few people around here that play it or maybe thinking of playing it. Would love the sound of female voices too if any ladies are interested in joining in. We are all married men so you won't be flirted with or talked to in a disrespectful way!! There is swearing and plenty of dummy spits, but we will tone it down accordingly. Post here and look me up in steam "poddy1"(puppydog pic) I've also uploaded a few of our adventures (some good...mostly bad) on Youtube (search for my channel "ThePoddy1000") http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDKbQbfSNcN9RkSN-xhPFWA We all have been around since DayZ Mod from beginning, and we also have had our own ARMA 2 Wasteland server recently. We have Ts3 channel as well. Hopefully get a few like minded people to join in. Poddy
