maverick servers
« on: March 11, 2011, 10:10:41 PM »
   First off hello to all. new to forum but been playing since 4.0 was released.
My in game handle is Devil_X.
  Second ,thank you to the devs for making one hell of a mod.the only thing I can add is no matter what crap you read on this forum, good or bad, this is your mod do what YOU think is right with it.
 Third and the reason for this post is, Why is nobody playing on the new maverick servers? myself i get very good pings. kinda of surprised you(devs) havent asked us to test out these servers yet.? of course then again I could be missing something.
 
  Finally, like I used to say in my Starsiege days, does anyone care to dance with the devil in a pale moonlight?!(I known, Batman)

Because SJ plays on Huntress and there are always a kabillion (is that canon?) SJ online.  Easy to kick start a full game.

I'll have to test out these servers tonight.

Personally, Huntress is the lowest Ping, Highest stability server I get. Pings are usually in the 30's and 40's. Then it's the #1 server (I can't remember what came before). That server is usually in the 50's as far as ping goes.


Anyone else going to be on tonight on this server? I don't want to go on it alone.  :'(

The other one you're thinking of, Bear, might be TLL's TX-#1 server that they run.  I'll look at these Maverick servers, though, maybe get a couple games going there.

Ya, that's it. I just didn't want to be totally wrong  :-[

What host does Huntress use?

Huntress and TLL servers are the most stable. I get good pings on Maverick but every time the server gets full I have a CTD at least 3 times a game. I think stability is the issue and people just go to other servers when the game crashes.

I second the stability issue.

I just got done playing 3 matches on the maverick server #1, and it was great until about 22-24 people. Then I started getting those dreaded connection errors and stuff started to lag out and my gauss rifle wasn't registering.

Until then it ran Better than Huntress did, lower pings. After 11 on each team or so, everything went to crap.

Had a couple of really good games on Maverick #1 today ... then had a crash, since then I am unable to connect it just sits on the connecting box forever?

I am able to connect to other servers, I have also reset my modem and my computer just in case something was wrong there ... other then that not sure why I can connect.

Good server though was great games.

I second everything Bear said.  While I never ran into issues of disconnects, there'd be spots where it would hang for about two or three seconds, and then everyone's positions would reset and the game would continue as normal.  Otherwise, they seemed fairly stable.

Great games, too.  Those were a great deal of fun.

That they were. I had some great fun yesterday. Today... not so much.

I was really frustrated today playing on TLL's server. I joined a 2v4 game where the 2 were dominating the 4 by double the score. It got down to 3v3, and eventually 4v3, so I switched teams to try and make it even again. That was a terrible choice. I got frustrated enough for once to go out and say "REALLY!? That's not cool" because as I was leaving the IS Base, the two Aircraft pilots that were on the team I left F bombed my Teammates as they were leaving the base. One was in a Partisan not 30m from the exit and got killed.

Not to throw this completely off topic, but F-Bombs are a bit OP.

But ya. Good server, just hate seeing those 3 interconnected computers/LAN line signal where I keep walking without control until it goes away.

Wasn't CW :)

There's no way to not throw a thread off-topic by mentioning FBombs.  Were these 2 pilots bombing the same target together?  If so, that's not a solid argument to state that they're overpowered, as any 2 assets firing on the same target would do double the damage.  Plus, FBombs have been done to death.  Where were you the month of February?

I know what match you're talking about Bear, I went and put up with IS only mechs on Huntress after seeing those two tards rolling around in Novacats after they got stomped in Shadowcats, then switching to Shivas when they started losing arms.

When the server population is that low, you can at least TRY to make the game interesting for the other team, rather than sitting and camping in the most powerful assets you can grab. But whatever, that's why I left, and I found a much better server to play on. They can sit and stare at each other in their novacats when all that's left in the server is them.

Also, TC_Mirage is not fun with that low of a player count.

No, they were both flying around though. I got into an MKII and one of them dropped 4 F-Bombs right next to me and destroyed almost all of my armor to nearly nothing, and completely destroyed my head armor. Then the other one came in and finished me off. When I was in anything less than an assault, I was killed in one hit by either of them because they'd drop 4 at once.

Didn't say they were completely Overpowered, but a bit overpowered. 1 isn't bad. 4 is terrifying.

But, I had a nice match not too long ago. The other team was down by a lot and we finally got 2 more people on our team then theirs, so I switched teams. We ended up coming back from having no bases captured to having them all. I'm confident we would have won if the time was unlimited. We were down 460 or so to 200ish and by the end it was about 300 to 180ish.

I don't know where it came from, but we banded together and did work. I finished as a General (First time yay!) with a score of 1150 and around a 11-4 KD. I think i've found my niche, and hope that it isn't a "Cheap" asset.


Oh, and I haven't been able to join Mavericks after yesterday. it stays stuck at 16 players already connected.
