128 player tests: Feedback and Observations

[Rudd]

The thing I like about big servers, they look more real. You can see the lines, check this screenshots from Qwai:

it does look awesome

any lonewolf is now gonna face at least 12 people rather than 6

Survey 2:

1. What is your FPS in 64 player servers
2. What is your FPS on 128 player server
3. What is your processor model and speed (gHz)
4. Should there be an increase in assets for each side?
5. Should there be an increase in Kits
6. Should spawn times be increased?

1-
2-
3 - AMD 3.1 Ghz 6000+
4 - Yes on transport assets, armored vehicles and armor should stay the same
5 - Depends, too much LAT kits or Medic kits(for example) might be too much, id say that the least used kits should be maxed a bit like the specialist kit maybe, thou every kit that can be used x2 in a squad is a bit overkill, so maybe we might need a new class that can be mixed with the rifleman as a standard loudout besides rifleman
6 - Thats a tough one, well with 128 people you might increase the spawn by a 1/3 or 1/4, my oppinion

*Ill fill out the the missing ones later on, btw cpu load on PR has really no meaning for me, i get on muttrah 16-24 FPS thx to my GPU

1. No idea but it didn't change noticably
2. See 1
3. Intel E6850 Dual running 3.2 GHz
4. No, 128 player servers have shifted the focus towards infantry, which is good
5. Leave special kits as they are, more infantry kits though. Squad limitations remain
6. Never change a winning team

50-100 (depends on map, where im looking, how many vehicles, dust, such things and that. Gotta love 8x AA and a dying GPU. :roll
30-100 (depends on map, where im looking, how many vehicles AND PEOPLE are in front of me)
i7 2600k 3.4 (4.2 overclocked)
Maybe more transport trucks instead of humvees?
No. I believe that with the current kit loadouts, it gives you a chance to have a squad that has one of every neccessary kits. Surprisingly, the kit loadouts are pretty much perfectly balanced for 128 people.
Absolutely not. Like i said, the surprising aspect is that, other than the lack of transport trucks for everyone, or lack of transport in general, the maps are almost BEAUTIFULLY balanced.

At least on blufor side... >.>



(So really, i don't believe you should change anything. I love having an infantry squad. Made all the better by having 8 people to have fun with )

Can we get a NA admin to start the server up again? I can't go back to a mere 64 player server ever again.

There should be no flags. IMO

The flags make the game focused around such a small part of the map that it causes lag for some people And it makes the game far more fastpaced then necessery.

[KingKong.CCCP]

my vote goes for 2 LATs.
IRL, Heavy AT is reserved for specialized squads, but anyone can carry a LAT. One rocket per squad is not enough.

[Eco__pRv]

how comes the player limit was decreased to 116? did this fix stability/performance issues or can mumble only do 116?

....I say we need to clarify the difference between fps drop and lag..... >.>

Cause i get NO lag when there are 115 people in front of me... just 10 less FPS.... >.>


Also, the flags give the game a purpose wicca. If you really wanna make things MORE fast pace, lets add TDM...... That should go well... >.> /sarcasm

I think what would be really nice is if the opposing team didn't know what flag they were supposed to be attacking until after they captured their last flag.. >.> I think that would be cool....

But honestly, the flags give the game it's purpose... and AAS is the most played game mode... you basically just asked if PR could stop being PR there... XD

Lets try it.

[Tartantyco]

I'm just gonna ... leave this ... here...

Will the server be up today? Personally I wouldn't mind another password night so that we know the players are at least forum users.
