fuzzypanda33 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 A lot of people who like abner, like myself, want to play it but its on 1.6 air go there is not a lot of people on. If you change it to 1.7 there will be a lot more people on and other admins and member will go to that server. 2 Quote
Midnight Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Why don't you install the patch selector? http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/433-cod4-patch-selector/ This way you can play 1.6 and 1.7. And anyone else who wants to play you can tell them about the patch selector. That's how the majority of us play both patches. 1 Quote
Spanky Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Make sure you backup your cod profile files if you try to use the selector! I used it three times and every time it screwed up my cod and i had to uninstall/reinstall. Bad times. May not happen to everyone that uses it but just a warning 2 Quote
fuzzypanda33 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 ... thats not really the point of installing a patch. I have it its just that people complain on not having enough people on the serve. The easiest thing to do is switch it to 1.7. 1 Quote
SiD Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Topic posted in private section about possible hardcore server rule change for abner. It's been discussed by members, leaders and co-leaders. Until they come to a full decision, camp the server and try to populate it. 1 Quote
EmtHipple Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 unless we would make a server mixed game type on 1.7( which I have already gone on about in another thread), there is no point in attempting to move the current 1.6 hardcore sever over to 1.7 as it is TDM now and would be really no different than beginners with the exception of slightly different rules . That said I would love to see more people get the patch switcher ( note: I have found that the switcher stops working for me if I update it, not sure why but just ignore the update prompt and it works fine) and get the server population up again as we lost a good number of server regulars for various reasons and we now have significant stretches of time where the server is at zero population, much like credit scores, it does not take much time to screw things up and get a low rating but take s a committed effort to improve it.

xDingDongWang Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 a lot of people play on OSX and a patch switcher isn't possible unfortunately, i would have to agree with panda here, it would definitely benefit from being switch to 1.7 however i also agree with EmtHippie that there should be different modes. Domination, sabotage. A bit of diversity with the game types and completely different maps to Beginners would put the two apart. Just my opinion though Quote
EmtHipple Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 the maps really wouldn't be an issue as the different game types add a new dynamic to the map, Some maps just don't work well for objective based play especially when population is low, you need small fast paced maps or it can get boring rather quickly. It can be nice to play the same map, but as a different type in the same rotation, but sometimes not, go ahead and ask any of the leaders, us abner guys are a fickle bunch that are never happy, it's probably due to most of us being just grumpy old men.... 2 Quote
fuzzypanda33 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 If your so worried bout the population being so low to make abner into other game types im pretty sure if you keep the rules and switch the game types and place the server in 1.7 there will be a lot more people on. Yes, the server is close to beginners but who cares... the rules are different and therefore the servers are different. I used to play on abner only because of the rules it has on it and the game types but now, no one is on playing it and its tdm. So simply switch it to 1.7, switch it back to other game types and do the same map rotations as in the past. Ding already listed a few like sabotage and domination. If i do remember they used to be on there. Sid I am aware of the "leaders and members" talking about this ... but really how long ago was that and are they still talking about it. Unless someone actually wants this done and steps up to do so it will just sit there and die. Im not saying that in a bad way but if the learders and members are talking about it. It should have been done a long time ago. 2 Quote
EmtHipple Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 panda, the leadership has spoken to the membership and we have aired our views and wishes, things( to the best of my knowledge) are in the works to make some changes to the servers, that said I don't know what they might be as the leadership of the clan is working on that and I'm sure our suggestions did not fall of deaf ears, I won't say the things we asked for will happen but the just might, it really is up to the leaders at this time and with everything they have going on with running the whole show, even the things that seem simple to some take time to complete, never forget that we all, and I do mean all of us do this in our free time and have real lives that need to come first, I counsel patience young padawan, and if that fails just PM the crap out of Speed......he loves getting mail from his fans 1 Quote
fuzzypanda33 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 I know it takes time but frankly ever since i join i asked why is abner on 1.6. The response was oh I think there going to change it... Doubtful. It takes time but it really doesn't take that long to make a decision. Yes we do have personal live outside that fine. This is a game for fun and I understand that but your personal time and mine are completely different so I'm trying to help not just me but for other people who have said they want this abner server to 1.7. The main thing I'm trying to say is that if the leadership and members are talking about it that's great but don't just talk about it. Get crap done. Quote
SiD Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Could always start your own server. You know, so things could get done as fast as you think they should. Quote
xDingDongWang Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) No point getting emotional over it guys... Is there no way of creating a poll and then act upon whatever gets voted? This is a democracy right? Edited July 5, 2014 by xDingDongWang Quote
SiD Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 No point getting emotional over it guys... Is there no way of creating a poll and then act upon whatever gets voted? This is a democracy right? I wouldn't quite call it democracy from what I've seen. Maybe a cross between democracy and oligarchy? Members can give input, but in the end it's the guys running the clan that call the shots. They see a lot more than we do on the surface as indicated by the current thread in the members areas. They have the data that determines the course of action best suited for the server. They already asked for input and now they're determining what to do based on said input. 1 Quote

That's fair enough man, as long as the majorities voice's get heard, it's all good! Quote
