PR 128 Player Server Test - Official

8/12 man squads? you mean i can soon possible have a full section under my lead?!

Once I had 12 ppl in a sqd, but now I think tops is 8. Works great IMO.

If 128 servers is ever going to become a popular thing, we need to have 128-player layer maps. This way, you can have more assets where needed, different layouts, etc.

[SGT.Ice]

As far as assets go most maps just need some more light vehicles and maybe an extra logi

[tntkid22]

I have yet to play on this server, but im excited.


But should they really add more assets? It would seem (in theory since I have yet to play) that on a map like kashan (the only one ive actually thought of) isnt more inf better? so you have the few assets be important to the battle and support the inf?

And wont it help the inf protect the assets more?

[puckett]

Hahaha, yeah! That dude was great (=HOG= NaturalBornTarget), had to recommend him on the Player Recommendations thread... he was crazy man!

Was that your squad which (somehow) sneaked into my squad's position and then wiped us out? (And, sometime later, felt the taste of my tasty Mercedes-Benz on a desperate rush?) GJ dude! Thanks for the great firefight! (Where was your FOB, btw?)





Sqd 2? The one one like, halfway between Lima and November?

Yeah, on the "island" between Lima and November. We knocked out plenty of vehicles but in the end we dident really help cap.

Well that depends. Are we always playing an infantry based unit? In atleast Kashan i would say we are plaing a Tank divsion thus the infantry should be the supporting arm, not the tank.
Overall i feel that the mayority of the PR players just want an infantry fighting simulator and would have at least the same amount of fun with day of defeat then PR. Why is everyone assuming we are playing a ww2 style infantry division? The mayority of the battles between conventional armies in PR based on map seems to be between tank battalions with support, thus the infantry is a supporting element to help the tanks in difficult terrain, not the other way around.

I would say that we don't need a big increase in assets, maybe somewhere around 10-30% depending on gameplay test result. And transports should not receive more %+ then other assets. The reason is that doing that would infact bring us back to 64 gameplay where no body cares about vehicles sense it is always available, also we are not playing an inf brigade. A mayor reason for lack of transports is that people are goofing around in the test.

I played Korengal Valley with 128 people last night, to be honest, it was hell!

[Damian(>>>PL]

I was thinking about Arma2, but you made me thinking, I schould stop thinking so much.

I hope 128 will work, good luck witch it.

[zenarion]

Shitstorm or not, this worked.
Hopefully, people will use Mumble a lot more when playing on servers this big. Me and my usual squadmates use Skype, and Mumble for the rest.

Must say, the 128-player capability made my day when it was announced. Got home ASAP and tried it. Bullets hit where I sent them, people could talk. Experienced lag only once, and it disappeared quickly.
Now let's all head to the Tactics section of this forum, and talk about how we play Insurgency or CnC with 128 players.

[K4on]

stresstest is over (for now).

[AncientMan]

Alright guys, we should have enough data for the moment, so we're going to shut down testing. Thanks for everyone who joined the server, helping us achieve the milestone.

If we manage to get some other problems fixed, like the nametag issue, then we might have another round of testing, but for the moment, we've got everything we need. We'll then be going internal, and work hard on developing a lot of things to be able to support 128 players (or whatever number we decide upon), and still have some great gameplay to go along with it.

This process will take a long time, it'll be some hard work for many months, so don't expect anything released soon. It's doubtful that this will be included in the next version (v0.96 it's called at the moment), but perhaps it might be in the version after that. This is because of the sheer amount of thought and development we need to go through, sort out a bunch of issues, etc. It's not a simple overnight thing we're talking about. We're talking about going through every part in the game and making it work 100% with the increased amount of players, and there's a lot of stuff in the game.

So anyway, I'd like to thank the [NEW] community, in particular BloodyDeed and Madcop, for providing the server and being constantly active to apply new tests and fix issues faced. Also, stay tuned for possibly future tests, and for more information regarding this in the months to come, thanks guys

Alright guys, time for a new test. A few things in the code has been changed, and we need to do a quick test just to make sure everything still works as it should. Problems like the nametag issue are not fixed in this test.

This time however, just because we can, we're going to set the max players as 256 . Chances are it'll be extremely laggy, or just plain fail, but it'll be interesting to see if it can be done. This is not to test gameplay, this is only to see if it's possible. We simply want to know the limit, that's all.

Same server as before, donated by the [NEW] community for testing, so hop on, and lets see how it goes .

[Kain888]

fuck yeah!

[dtacs]

It would seem you said those magic words, crashed on something like 15 players.

[Tartantyco]

Me gusta!

[BloodyDeed]

Like during the first test:
crashes help us finding problems, so just reconnect.

OMFG! lol? =()
