Insurgency 24/7 0.8?

Post by EOD_Security-2252 »

Is it just me or did almost all the 24/7 Insurgency servers die out during the 0.8 transition?
Battlearena had 3 servers when 0.8 first came out, and now they only have one, and it is almost always empty.
The T&T Insurgency that one of the Devs asked everyone to help out at had people last night, but now I don't see anyone there.
Then there is the Texas Teamplayers, but that server never seems to get more than 15 people.
So, does anyone know any good Insurgency 24/7 servers that have a good (20+ people) population between 15:00 and 3:00 GMT (which would convert to 10:00 and 22:00 GMT-5). I would prefer American servers for ping, but I'll take anything at this point.

Thanks guys.

Both [T&T] servers are doing fine thanks :) I don't understand how you're saying there's "nobody there" - it's been busy all evening.

40+ on Insurgency at the moment.

i played insurgents mode and i think its bad.
insurgents have no homefield advantage at all.
they have Fluffy Bunny guns and they dont move any faster.
i mean they got some riffle and binoculars and americans have huge load of guns and grenades and they move like insurgents.

or maybe i am bad player :-P

Well, I guess I just checked at the wrong time epoch. I looked about 2 hours ago and no one was there.

Nobody plays it because the insurgents disadvantage got even more downgraded with only 2-3 spawns. Plus the guns are nerfed so much they are actually nerf guns now. The ak 47 wouldn't be the most popular gun in the world if it didn't do any damage and have no accuracy like in PR.

right......

1. INS servers are popular but maybe not as popular because regular servers can play them and 24/7 INS servers are quite infamous(not talking about T&T one, havt played it. going to in a sec)
2.the INS should be at a disadvantage , they are a insurgency not army.
3. both ramiel has 6 possible spawns and basrah 5
4. the AK in PR dose alot of damage, is very good CQB weapon (take note to that bit<<<)
5. IRL the ak is most popular gun because of alot of reasons, mainly cause its reliable, easy to use, cheap ect ect not because its accurate.
6. i have seen INS win alot.

if im not mistaken theres a 24/7 ramiel server i cant remember what its name was i think battlearea, and it always has lots of people. as for texas teamplayers, its not an all insurgency server, it is however one of my favorites and i regularly see it with lots of players.

Yeah, with me 75% of the INS 24/7 servers are barren before 16:00 and I usually work in the afternoon on weekends. It really doesn't even matter except on weekends, and the fact that I'm a morning person so I've got my classes set up so I get out by 13:00. So, I've usually got nothing to do but modding until 15:45 when my roommates and stuff finish. And we all know how fun modding is when you do it for more than two hours straight.

Thanks guys.
BattleArena was the original home of Insurgency. We put up with the crashes and problems to make sure this great playmode got attention.

After talking to many of our players the big problem seems to be that game play changes made Insurgency less fun and more tedious than before. Beyond that, Al Basrah does not seem well suited to the new play style.

We had three servers to test the waters. Ramiel seemed to get alot of play, then it stopped. No clue why. Just oddness. Weird week for everyone I suppose.

Our 24/7 Insurgent server now runs a rotation between 64 and 16 player maps for variety and hopefully a bit more fun. Jump on with a friend and I bet in just a few minutes it will be half full.

I know Battle Arena has a Rameil and Al Basrah servers that are usually populated. Especially the Rameil one. I think it'd be cool if there was just a 24/7 insurgency server with Rameil, Basrah, Korengal and Archer with the full size'd maps and their skirmish counter parts (skirmish is f#cking intense!)

I think now that PR doesnt crash upon loading a map in a mixed cycle there isnt such a need for dedicated insurgency servers anymore.
