@daredevil sadly, the Donation is not updated on my profile since August (10 USD). VIP still activated.

Went over the Jay2 rotation with @Unknown last night and updated it just now. I changed out a couple maps last week but I forgot to make a post cause I had a lot of stuff happening and I was pretty ill . So last week I added Decay b5 with MikeSlayer's suggestion and Necrology Final cause I think it did pretty well last time it was on Jay2. Anyway here's the new rotation: supplydepot2, 0, 64, battery, 0, 40, bremen_final, 0, 42, adlernest, 0, 36, sw_goldrush_te, 0, 40, praetoria_m2, 0, 64, italyfp2, 0, 52, v2base_te, 0, 40, et_beach, 0, 52, frostbite, 0, 36, ga_el_kef, 0, 40, warbell, 0, 52, castellum_final, 0, 40, school, 0, 36, raid_final, 0, 32, lighthouse2, 0, 40, baserace, 0, 40, decay_b5, 0, 52, axislab_final, 0, 30, caen2, 0, 40, necrology_final, 0, 52, rochelle_b2, 0, 44, theriver2redux, 0, 64, sp_delivery_te, 0, 40, braundorf_final, 0, 36, low_airstrip2, 0, 40, OUT: Stargate 1945 - It's far too difficult for Allies with the current settings, it may return at some point once I figure out good spawn times to balance it properly. 1944 Beach - Bit too easy for Allies to win, maybe the timelimit needs reducing. Townsquare Final - It's at -4 right now. Industry 2 - At -1. SOS Secret Weapon - Pretty divisive map, 18 up but 15 down. Best to get rid of it. IN: Battery Lighthouse 2 The River 2 Redux Castellum Final V2 Base TE From now on I'll only be adding/swapping at most 2 maps a week since we have a nice steady rotation now. More Halloween themed maps will follow and then they'll be gradually removed after Halloween passes. As always, I'm thankful for suggestions so feel free to leave some here .

I've been out all day so I've not been able to reply to your points yet Hipkat. I partly agree with this, 51 players is a bit hectic. I've found the easiest fix is to just play on a different server. For Jay1, I only play on a team early morning my time when there's around 30 players. Any other time I go play on Jay2 or Silent1. Doing objective on Jay1 will still be difficult with 20 players a side. Maybe a good compromise would be to start adding more CTF maps or other maps where both sides attack. Jay2's starting to build up a bigger player base now. Daredevil changed the redirect back to Jay2 either yesterday or the day before and right away we got up to 17v16 players. Here's a couple screenshots I took: Granted, this was on the weekend but it's still progress. You mentioned somewhere else that people aren't willing to give Jay2 a try because they don't want to play against bots. These were taken around 6pm UK time on Sunday when Jay1 was full. Tell them to give it a try around then and see what they think to it. We can't build a server's population without other people. Players attract players. I don't think this is true. Chariot came on last night and a bunch of people went spec cause they didn't know the map. So, there's gonna be less new or 'not so well known' maps on the server now that there's a bigger player base. I'll still try to add the maps that people are asking me for but unfortunately, I'll have to be more selective about it in the future. As for people saying that Jay1 has a 'small map cycle', it currently has 35 maps in rotation. Jay2 has 26. Not sure what they're talking about . If you want to suggest maps for Jay1, here's the place: Tell people to ask for new maps in there or ask for them on their behalf if they're not willing to make a forum account.

Wife and I going to 3 next year. Have a nice trip, bro... Respect, patience and fun. Friendly, Osie

On a serious note and all joking aside, we are grateful for the personal ET experiences and input from everyone in this thread. It shows the what some have found to work and what doesn't. And yes, a bit of humor never hurt anyone to keep it light. Kudos to Mike for making me almost fall of my chair. HipKat may have actually learned a thing or two. I know I did, and I look forward to more FKN DISCUSSIONS. Bourbon? Really?

My name is Anders an i am from Denmark. I am a lumberjack so i work with tree removal and gardening. In my spare time i do OCR and like to spend time outdoor. have been playing ET for a long, so now i thought it was time to join. Any questions just ask, i am pretty chill guy Looking forward to spending more time in here and help out where its needed.

@weeabooo

happy Canadian thanksgiving

Jay 1 was full yesterday soo i played on jay 2 . It was pretty crowded and fun

This may lead to overpowered strats that are only possible in no FF mode, for example you could arty a tank barrier in order for your team to plant the dynamite harmless, and wiping out the other team in the process, with only a minor sacrifice of one person. This is possible with any kind of explosive, used in an area denial role, applies also for the flamethrower. If you have played Rainbow Six Siege, imagine using Fuze to wipe out a room full of enemies while your team rushes in, so they can't escape while your teammates don't take any damage, only claiming your own life. I don't think it is a good idea to implement this kind of stuff, as it can be exploited to one's favor. However, on the funny side, it should be hilarious to see people suddenly gibbing due to explosive damage being reflected to them from far away.

I've had enough of this bullsh*t. Once again, suggestions are suggestions. Opinions are opinions. All are welcomed here. What isn't welcomed is pointless bickering, arguing or putting others down. Whether that's through text, memes, photos, pulling rank, etc. There doesn't have to be any escalation if everybody just treats others with respect. So let's start there. And let's stay civil. Thank you!

It is today Mr Gandhi was born into this world.

THE BEAST IS BACK ::DDDDDD with internet finally

I'd recommend those that are complaining constantly to try out jay2. Jay2 is a good server too and with less players they should find it less laggy and more comfortable. Major changes like number of slots will not happen over a few complaining about it. I think it should also be understood that no matter what you do, people will complain about something and you will learn that you cant just follow every suggestion that is brought to us, even though we do appreciate the effort, because we'd end up annoying more people. If those people really want change and aren't just whining in the moment, they are free to come on the forums to express their concerns. Things are more likely to change if a lot of people request it rather than one. If 80-90% are fine with a product, thats good enough for me because not everyone will be happy no matter what. This is why we offer many servers to try and cover every kind of preference. Common preference might I add. Every person likes ET for different reasons and we try to accommodate for it as much as we can but there is only so much we can do. If we reduce to 41 slots, people will complain that the server is always full and they cant play. Then we will get suggestion to increase again. TL;DR - those that find it too cramped, laggy or spammy. Try Jay2. Reducing it from 51 to 41, wont make much difference imo. Bigger maps are the only solution to massively packed servers.

I always knew this topic was a joke. I am glad its reaching its full potential with all these memes.

- that’s confusing -

The vsay has been in the pack for a really long time - I think before I even started playing there. I've been working on redoing the Jay2 soundpack but it takes a while and I had to put it on hold while I worked on other stuff like the wiki and map testing. I've already got all the vsays I plan to add actually in the pack, I just need to decide which ones to remove. I'm also working on a soundpack for the Halloween gameday. I'll try get the Jay2 pack finished first cause it should only take a couple hours to remove the bad/unused vsays. Maybe if there's interest we could have the Halloween pack on Jay2 for a couple weeks leading up to the 31st.

To answer your above statement see below - I am again saying to YOU - Stop acting like you didn't said anything. What you mean to clearly say is highlighted in red. I am just quoting your lines and no one else. First you are saying using /scores is ridiculous and now when others try to explain you go nuts on them. No one is talking down to you and stop playing victim card. Captn said this here clearly - He clearly said - what Aniky said. Any sane person would realize what captn and Aniky said is similar. On top if you had better argument or logic you could have presented it but you use this as your resort - and hence I had to again 'explain' to you. My reply all above. You will not receive any reply from me at least on this topic anymore. I can't keep 'explaining' more.

I agree with that. Balancing teams is done with a global picture of the situation and several factors must be taken into consideration. That being said, I understand what HipKat is trying to say. That it can be frustrating sometimes when you are on the winning team to force balance in the other direction. I agree that, in a perfect world, if both teams have the same number of players, the map should be played as such until the end. And if a team is overwhelming, shuffle or other blancing actions should only be taken at the begining of the next map. However, this is not a perfect world. If a team is much stronger than the other, people on the weaker team will start to leave. I've witnessed it several times. This is why admins try to balance teams as much as possible even during the map and not wait for the end (in case of big differences). Because if we don't do so, we loose players who leave because they are here to relax and are tired of getting powned non stop by a much stronger team. So, to conclude, I understand your opinion HipKat but it just doesn't suit the way things happen on the servers. If we were to apply your suggestion, I'm afraid we would loose more players. Agreed, so I won't spam the topic anymore. Just wanted to react with my opinion.

In a family soccer game you don't let dad and adult son play against mentally disabled son and 6 year old daughter for half an hour. You even it up so everyone can have some fun. Yay, I can make weird comparisons too

Beautiful anecdote haha, I didn't know in hockey you get a player from the opposing team if two of your teammates get send off. Teams should never be evened solely on the sizes of them. 20% of the players carry 80% of the weight, if these 20% are not split up well enough the teams will be uneven, how the other 80% is split is not something that influences the game a lot. You mention "competitive matches" while you are talking about jay1, that's kind of hilarious. People just want to have fun, hardly anyone cares about stats and hardly anyone cares about obj. This topic and argument doesn't make sense at all and the fact that it isn't posted by someone who is totally new to the game baffles me greatly

hello everyone i just started playing recently on silent recruiting i enjoy the server so i want to introduce myself i'm 22 years old from the netherlands i like to play & watch football gaming ofc too playing mostly et and last but not least nature & hiking i'm on discord too Yami want to know know more about me? feel free to ask questions

The insurgency pic you made is my desktop background now They all look amazing! Keep up the good work on the events and I'll try not to take too many panzers to the face that day, lol.

Can u pls share SS of it from spec with 120 fov ? To make sure we are all on same page? @DoubleDragon possible to use mapscript to add new prefab - https://www.wolffiles.de/index.php?filebase&fid=1371 and we use that or similar prefab so that no one can cross it? or how about fake brush which we use for anti spawn shield?

@D..X And thank you for the help!

Hi mate, thanks for doing the tests. Good news is your CPU, HDD, Mobo etc all seem fine temp wise looking at the AIDA figures, will be higher than normal as your system is effectively being hammered to 100% usage. However looking at your Furmark results although it didn't crash you only achieved a max of 12 FPS which is pretty shit tbh @ 800x600. . One thing about the GT710 is if i remember correctly it required a specific driver for windows 10, i installed a GT710 in my mothers PC just over a year ago and i did have issues with the driver as it had to be a specific one, i'll log on to her system and grab the driver version because i do know i had issues with the 710 not being windows 10 compatible. If you have onboard gfx remove the 710 (its a crap card anyway and obsolete) and try running ET with the onboard, in the mean time i'll log on my mothers PC and see what her Furmark results are @800x600 and more importantly what driver number she has installed, i'm almost certain it is the driver being your issue, kicking myself for not twigging earlier tbh. i assume Dare installed the latest one but like i say it has to be a specific one to work correctly in windows 10 otherwise it does not work properly. She is home now so i'll log on her PC now and look mate, more to follow. ***EDIT Ok so i've logged onto my Mums PC and luckily i left the Nvidia driver on the desktop (yay me) The driver i used to get her GT710 all working properly is 368.39-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql which can be downloaded from https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/103913 You will notice its about 3 years old Version 368.39 - WHQL Release Date Tue Jun 07, 2016 Operating System Windows 10 64-bit Language English (US) File Size 351.05 MB I think Microshaft sorted a newer driver in the creators update as when i check the current driver version of my Mums GT710 in device manager its changed to Again though its an older driver from 2017 so for the sake of keeping things all the same totally uninstall everything Nvidia wise from your system then install the 368.39 driver and take it from there. Fingers crossed all will be good but if not i think i'll have to log on to your PC via Teamviewer mate and see if i can get it working properly. Let me know how it goes and if needs must i'll log on like i say and see if i can fix it, much quicker that way as i can try 10 things in the time it takes me to type out 1 thing for you to try. Good luck ***EDIT

start break dancing

Because i like to torment myself i looked through it *yawn So basically this is what i got jay 1 sucks its over crowded and should be less slots, it lags, the map pool is to small and put up christmas maps (btw its october) wait it gets better -hip basically calls panzerfausts an a**h**** (made me lol becuse well its panzerfaust) and we carry on...jay 2 is better, less lag, better map pool size, less chaotic but they should remove adren and double jump. Someone says take a handful of people and transfer them to jay2 to make 2 busy server instead of 1 over crowded one so basically turning it into a second jay 1... then a bunch of rambling bs end of story (btw this is the opinion of like 3 or 4 people 1 being hipkat(not saying your opinion dont count just giving overall picture) so basically 3 out of 40- 50 people that play there at any given time..)

of Nevada - obviously -

Not much of a conversation if basically everyone in the topic disagrees with you but you still think your opinion is superior. A conversation is both talking and listening, but as history has shown you have issues with the latter. Now I don't mind that you claim it was a conversation rather than a suggestion, whatever floats your boat mate, but sneaking in a little "How I started it stands".... C'mon man... f*** off

Dear Life, Please Use Lubricant.

Hey Hipkat! I'm having a headache right now reading this, as you have also hijacked this topic to support your own, which was already explained there how we work. I understand you have your own mindset about that, but if you really start to think about it, the scores make it more sensible than player count. If attacking team isn't progressing, then the fault is a lack of support from medics who just play rambo. I wont be chewing this no longer, but just ask ppl to use their common sense. @HarryAimpotter those ss, it is ok to have 2 more ppl in one team if scores are ok, sometimes it is needed if other team is getting raped. I have explained this before to you and to others. So a condump of /scores along with ss of players is the right way to go. If admins ignore when ppl are asking for teams, /scores and also ss of players make it crystal clear then. We cant do much if we dont see how bad things have been. Also best way is to open a topic in a propriate forum, also to just make it clear, or use contact us option, or pm...
