Butters Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Hi all, Just to say that the Edugeek server is back up and running smoothly. It's now a 32 man server running conquest maps and a fairly standard config although everything can be tweaked. http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/109.70.149.169:47220/b_560_95_1.png It would be really helpful if we can organise a day during the coming weekend to all jump on and help populate it!

stevenlong1985 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Sure thing I see If I'm free tonight to jump on!
Rawns Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I will most likely be on tonight, tomorrow and Sunday nights. Any excuse to get away from the X-Factor!!! If your in-game names are different to your Forum names, would be handy if peeps could post them in their responses so I know who's a Geeker or not in game. or even better, add an EDU tag to your name! I'll be doing that tonight! How many people are needed to start a game Butters?
Butters Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 Really need to get my name switched on this forum.... For ranked servers the minimum settings to kick a round off are 4! This cannot be tweaked without losing the ranked status. I'm available possibly tonight but definitely Sat/Sun.
gshaw Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Sunday during the day is looking best for me... gshaw aka gshaw0
Butters Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 Server image isn't bloody working again - something in this forum hates linked dynamic images.
BenABF Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 If I get a chance I'll drop in saturday at some point. I'm repro2k
Butters Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 How about a proposal of Sunday around 6-7pm to really try and kick it off?
capncrunch Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I jumped on TS a few times in the evening last week, and just like the BF3 server it is always empty. My Soldier - http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/capncrunch1988/stats/233818305/
Rawns Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Same. I did refresh the server list every 30 mins or so as well in-between playing Skyrim and the number of players never grew from zero.
CAM Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I think e need tog et people on at specific times of the day first. Run more events to maek the server a little busier. EA shot themselves in the foot by adding the stupid player restriction though as it takes ages waiting just for everyone to leave and I hope one day they patch it out.
capncrunch Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Well I am on the Edugeek TS + playing BF3 for a couple of hours 3-4 evenings a week so jump in TS and have a game or add capncrunch1988 to your friends list.
Rawns Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Well I am on the Edugeek TS + playing BF3 for a couple of hours 3-4 evenings a week so jump in TS and have a game or add capncrunch1988 to your friends list. Done and done.
Butters Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 Myself, @gshaw and @CAM were on for a bit later yesterday evening - think we all need to agree set times to get the server running otherwise it will keep on being empty!
capncrunch Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Well I normally get a chance for a few rounds at some point between 6-9pm.
CAM Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah I errr, may have been having a bad day. Sorry for the bitching. >.<
Rawns Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah I errr, may have been having a bad day. Sorry for the bitching. >.< I did not see your last post as bitching at all. I fully agree with you. Having a set number of minimum people to start a game is rubbish. You could spend ages waiting for the server to fill. A 2 person minimum should be in place but as usual, the minority ruin it for the majority. This is a feature they brought across from BC2. When BC2 was first released on PC, a game would start with only 1 person on the server (rankled or unranked) so people joined a rush server on their own and played as assault with C4 and blew up all the M-COM stations and effectively raped the points out of resupplying, playing as assault and destroying al the M-COMS! So in the first patch, they set a minimum player limit on ranked servers to (I think) 4 people. I can see the pros and cons from both sides. One mate plays only 64 man conquest on metro and just rapes points at the bottle neck on the stairs. He only plays as medic or assault and revives people/resupply's them. Most games he finishes with 11k points so is storming through the ranks. Totally defeats the purpose of the game IMO...
CAM Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I'm referring to Vent every time I failed to kill someone.
CAM Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 From the upcoming patch notes: Also, it will once again be possible to reduce the number of players required to start a round to 1 both in ranked and unranked mode. We changed it back after getting a lot of negative feedback from both individuals and the RSP companies.
Rawns Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 The patch is out! Has the player start limit been changed yet on the EduGeek server?
Butters Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Patch has been installed - I've updated the config to take into account the new rule.
