Cocky can I have your new multiplay banner URL

GhostWKD · 7 Feb 2014 at 01:19

Joined server #1... not the nicest of people and griefed repeatedly after spawning and asking for advice/pointers :S

Couple of the guys were ok in the end mind

Zenduri · 7 Feb 2014 at 02:21

Well they seriously broke wolves and bears in the update, heavily bugged now and the same for the irradiated ones too.

Upside grabbed 2 more new folks for return visits tonight

I logged in a couple of times, but don't really notice any performance improvement, but that could be too early to say what with the new patch and all.
The server keeps restarting though, not sure whats up with that.

Zenduri · 7 Feb 2014 at 07:09

Since the update multiplay servers are having issues where it seems more cpu amd ram are being used than there should be and its throttling and restarting

They are blaming the game but I'm now 99% sure that it's multiplay not allocating enough RAM per slot on every server, useless

Your prob right tbh, at the rate they're going i think they will be lucky to keep my business

Cocky-Roach · 7 Feb 2014 at 08:22

Yeah well I'm sure it's because of them that our numbers have been declining, might just give everybody 50 C4 tonight have a Big Bang night then start fresh on other one tomorrow and start trying to get numbers up again

Me and two friends looking to join this Server, can you let us know if you do this? as we will join then.

Cocky-Roach · 7 Feb 2014 at 09:19

Will see what the response in here is tbh mate. If people think it's stupid we will carry on as is, If the lag I causing people to leave the server it will happen.

As always it's the majority vote

Is the new server with a different provider?

Yes mate, will not be dealing with multiplay again

GhostWKD · 7 Feb 2014 at 09:53

So what server are most people on? Cocky-roach's?

Was playing on #1 in the links at the front of the page last night, after looking for a friend for 1/2 an hour (any quick way of finding people?), we then got gunned down as nakeds by a guy with a m4, and generally griefed for a good while until we worked stuff out.

Finally got a shelter and sleeping bag etc but well frankly if stuff is gone tomorrow i'll happily move server

Edit: Reading thread looks like that is where most people are at... myself and a friend will probably come along when we're next on

Good Timing mate as we are thinking of starting fresh tomorrow, keep an eye on this thread an I'll keep you informed

Ah yes I was going to say after reading what other people have been saying (on different forums) it's best to steer clear of Multiplay at the moment!

Is it possible to put C4 back into drops in the evenings when players are high at all? With no C4 in drops you find people on all day are just farming to make all the C4 without much grief, but the people who play after work on a busy server kinda have no chance to sit back and farm. They then get raided to hell during the day with little chance to retaliate. Just an idea like or maybe a better method can be found to fix this.

Ezah · 7 Feb 2014 at 10:58

Which is how it was originally, but we had the problem of certain players farming cash from other players to cash in on endless airdrops and hence c4. As these guys were not prepared to farm for it when they can kill anything that moves instead.
As always a happy medium is needed, such as make c4 available in drops, but 0 cash earned from player kills, etc. or remove c4 altogether

so survival is more dependant on skill than time invested. PVP but without the risk of losing it all while offline.. I don't think you will ever please everyone though, a server just needs to decide which direction they want to go in and stick with it.

People on H1B were under the impression that the server would be transferred to the new host as is, and without a wipe. If this isn't the case, new players will of course be pretty happy, but many current ones will not. It's a tough one.

Not sure that's possible without manually editing the configuration file every night a restarting the server. I know what you are saying about the burden of working for a living so will have a think about it and see what we can come up with

Yeah I think I'm still trying to please everybody which is impossible, as i said we will see what the majority want then we will do it, I'm pretty sure I can transfer files across to new server if need be
