Everything is fine for me when I play on other servers. I complain about a lot of things but ping is usually not the matter. I mean I could play on EU servers with a ping of 50 but I chose to play on jay1 with 150 ping. It was bearable. Laggy when server got full but bearable. I never complained about it. Now it is just unplayable, really. Like I shoot bullets, and they leave the gun 1-2 secs later. People shoot me down around corners. In every single close fight I am lagging horribly, like really lagging. Like even with steady fps of 125, enemies are warping in front of me. I know you can't do much about it but I think I'm gonna quit playing on jay1. As jay1 is the only FA server I play, this is probably my last times around. I'll keep checking occasionally if it gets better. And I am not a person who rage quits, like because of tiny things. It is really really not playable. It is probably my ISP, I don't know.

Hey, on jay1 my ping is usually about 147 ms. When server is full, it jumps to 170 usually. Compared to EU servers it is horrible (there I just have 50ms), but I am used to it But for the past week my ping is always around 190 anytime I join and it jumps to 250 when server gets full. Don't know if my ISP is fked up or the server of jay1. At the moment it is not playable for me. I have to leave server as it is just lagging horribly. No fun, no joy. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WinMTR statistics | | Host - % | Sent | Recv | Best | Avrg | Wrst | Last | |------------------------------------------------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | 192.168.2.1 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 217.0.119.33 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 16 | 17 | 27 | 17 | | 217.0.67.254 - 0 | 168 | 168 | 17 | 17 | 24 | 17 | | 194.25.6.58 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 18 | 18 | 47 | 18 | | 80.157.129.250 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 18 | 20 | 30 | 19 | | 129.250.6.216 - 1 | 165 | 164 | 18 | 25 | 40 | 21 | | 129.250.3.180 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 159 | 186 | 211 | 178 | | 129.250.2.166 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 177 | 206 | 286 | 196 | | 129.250.2.25 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 145 | 172 | 193 | 168 | | 129.250.207.210 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 176 | 205 | 249 | 204 | | 8.9.4.227 - 0 | 169 | 169 | 144 | 185 | 228 | 166 | |________________________________________________|______|______|______|______|______|______| WinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud Provider For comparison see the attachments.

Why is it a problem to state if the team is doing well or not? With every new map, a new run for the obj starts. Either you are defending or attacking. And sometimes the team tries, and sometimes not. And this game has a built-in chat feature. They put it to use it, you know. There are also vsays, all of them made just for one case. And I just express the same thing. Some say "I need an Engineer", some say "This team sucks, it doesn't try". I am not insulting people. I use the feature for the better gaming. Well, it is your morale views. I don't care what you think. Who says violence is ok? Nobody. A game with violen elements doesn't encourage people to be violent. We all see it as a game. In a game you play with its rules to defeat the other one. If you play chess or ET, the same thing. You try to be smarter than your opponent, better than your opponent to win it. That is all about. The shooting part is just the way you win, not the goal of the game. But anything else besides the built-in ingame based things (such as shooting, destroying, stealing, hiding, etc.) are interactive human parts. So when I kill someone, it is just a virtual thing. But talking with people is not. You actually talk to real people. You play with real human beings. You don't play with robots from the future. That part of a game makes it interesting, to have actually a connection to other people. That is what we all like about this game. So, talking dirty stuff, using dirty expressions, are not a part of the game! YOU as a person make them up. YOU decide to behave like that. So there is a big difference. Or why does this server have a censorship? Huh? Tell me, please. Why does it come with **** all the time? A real mature person understand why this is necessary. Look, I didn't complain about that you are not doing against those people. I never accused some of you like that. Just, you don't care (which is your thing) and I do care. You don't feel offended by disgusting names or chats, I do. And I think I am allowed to state this. Maybe when you have a children or maybe when you understand children psychology, you may understand my view. Or not. I don't have to post a complaint here as I don't care for most of the time. And you all act like I do constantly complain which is not true. Until now there were like 3-4 discussions were I thought people are going beyond too far (from my view) and I told them to stop it. You don't think it is too far, but I do. Why can they express themselves in a dirty way, and I can't express myself to state how I see it on the server? Do you tell them to go to the forums to talk dirty? No, you let them chat. So do I. If they are allowed to talk dirty, I think I am also allowed to say that they talk dirty. You force me to respect their freedom, so do I expect the same from you. Please, try to understand what I said. Firstly, I didn't say that I am their parent or it is my duty. Yes, it is their duty. But you can't forbid me what I think is right to do. If you see a 10 years old kid in the night alone in the park, do you also say "it is the duty of the parents to take care of them"??? Or do you try to help or see what is going on? Of course it is the duty of the parents, nobody said the opposite. But sometimes you must show the courage to protect others, even if you are not the first instance to do this. And you might not care for children, but I do. Your problem, mine problem. You can't decide if it is in any sense my duty or not. Mind your own business. And about the laws, I assume you are from the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obscenity Read and learn. Ah, ok. I didn't know. Firstly I thought he is a male. Then some days ago in chat they said he is a female. But now you say he is not. I am confused.

Trolling it is? It is your rules. Now you change it to "you are not to do first object" but it was all the time "don't finish map". I don't know who trolls who here as I followed the rule, now you change the rule to make me look as a fool. So you change the rule to a "what if"? That is not the same thing here. The above has 2 stages to finish the map, this one only 1. And your comparison is very vague. You can't finish unintentionally et_beach. It must be with intention or not. Alright, just blowing up walls, moving the tank, capturing the flags all belong to the objective. Shouldn't we do it at all or what? Or do you have a guide on which maps which objs we can do and not? As I quote from your wiki: "We have 5 mins no rush rule on this server. Don't finish the final objective in first 5 mins. Once 5 mins are passed from the time of map start you can finish the objective." And I did NOT finish the final objective here. I was just doing a part of the obj, like blowing up walls or moving the tank. Was just getting the first of the two. Preparing for the final stage. The first part is true, I nag about the maps, but the second part is not true. About nagging about maps, yes I do nag as I find them unbalanced or making the server unpopular. Just watch what happens when Saberpeak or Venice is played again. People leave. It is a fact. Or how often did you see Oasis or Goldrush was won by Allies? How often? I saw only once with my 150k xp that Allies won Goldrush. Never saw Oasis happening. Or saw only twice that Teuthonia got finished. There is a reason behind it. And technically I don't nag because nagging would mean I just complain but don't bring up usefull suggestions to make it better. See the suggestions forum, I brought up my suggestions. Third, I don't want you to run my recommended list of maps. But I find it very hypocritical from you, that you admitted that you didn't even read my suggestions. You admitted in chat to me (I assume you are Tipsy), that "oh, are you the guy with the long posts..." and so on. It is hypocritical to ask people to join the forums to make suggestions but at the same time admitting not to reading them or taking in consideration. I don't want you to run my list, but I just did what you told me to do: I joined the forums and took 3 hours of my time to post 19 maps (as I had to look up them, as I haven't played ET for 5-6 years). So I did my part. What else can I do? Nothing, it is up to you. I really doubt that you even do know half of the maps I suggested. So technically, only if you know these maps (if you played them), you can judge if the maps are suited or not. But as I said, I just nag because I find things unfair and unbalanced. So I say it out loud, why is it a problem? I have a problem with people who use +18 stuff in games. Because children/kids play these games. I care for children. I find it important to protect them. You can't deny that almost in every country in this would you have this +18 stuff protection. WITH LAWS. Can you go out the street and show your p3nis to kids? Do you know how disgusting this is? Also some kind of child molesting this is? So, you play ET, you are 13 years old and you see people with those kind of nicknames. And not just nicknames it is. When people talk about that +18 stuff. Maybe you don't care, but I do. And in main chat for hours? I had this discussion only 2 times and that lasted for 10 mins. Don't exaggerate it. I just complain about my team sometimes. Why is it a problem? Because I am not allowed to express my thoughts? They just play their own game, and so do I. And this is my style of the game. They don't care for the obj, but I do. They don't complain, but I do. I don't find myself targeted my lady. I have no problem with anyone at this jay1 server. I just think I only have a problem with you. And this is because you kicked me out of nothing. You could have easily explained these "new rules" via private chat but you kicked me instead of it. So who is full of self-rightousness? Who should we pity? I read the rules already, and I followed them. The other servers are mostly empty or just few players and with bots. No, thanks. But you were many times online and watched us doing the first obj. You never ever told me that we can't blow up either one of them. Actually I do remember that you were ok with blowing up 1, because it doesn't finish the map. But now you say something differently. Alright.

Hey, have a question. So I know there is this 5 min rule. As far as I am informed (Hecken), we can do obj in the first 5 minutes of a map BUT not the obj which would end the map. So we are not allowed to finish the map within the first 5 minutes, but we can do obj. Is this correct? For example we can blow the walls in et_beach in the first 5 minutes, but we are not allowed to bring the obj (documents) to the radio station. So, at 01:13 EDT at jay1 I was trying to blow up the first obj in et_do6 and then Tipsy splatted me. I asked her what I did wrong and she told me that I am not allowed to do it because of rules. Then I told her that I am, that she can ask Hecken and that she doesn't know her own FA rules. And then I got kicked with saying "enough". To make it clear, it was the first obj which would have been blown up. Yes, we are not allowed to blow up both of them but we can blow up 1 of them. Did it many times, and Hecken was ok with it. So, is it allowed or not? PS: I think Tipsy has a problem with me. She doesn't like me and she is chasing for a moment to "show it to me who the boss is". This moment was one actually.

I don't know about the past, as I only played for 1 months or so at jay1. I already told it but I repeat it again. The map rotation has 33 maps but only 1/3 of it gets played because the server is always almost full. It gets quickly boring. I posted 19 suggestions. It seems some of them are not new (like Tram or Subway), but my list has other good maps, new maps. It is not a big deal to have Saberpeak on the list, if the rotation would have really 33 playable maps (playable for 40+ ppl). So here and then Saberpeak would come and it wouldn't be a big problem, but because the rotation is that short, you keep playing Saberpeak over and over which is really bad. Same goes for Minas Tirith with 15+ Snipers. So maybe you should keep those 33 maps but also add 15+ new maps, so we have sth like 50 maps in the cycle. It makes the cycle to have more depth, more variety.

I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get much feedback but I'm gonna post my last suggestions. And again, I am really bored to play the same maps over and over. Saberpeak, Minas Tirith or Venice are killers for me. Eagles (5/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/651-eagles2-a6/ X-Dam (5/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/203-x-dam-complex-2-xdam2pk3/ Wolfsrudel (6/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/82-wolfsrudel-3-springtime-version-final-wolfsrudel3pk3/ Base55 (7/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/307-base-55-beta-2-base55-b2pk3/ Wizerness (7/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/181-ae-wizerness-final-ae-wizerness-finalpk3/

There is not only the kills glitch. I always get also the damage glitch. Like 17k damage received. When I spec ppl, 1/4 of them have bugged stats.

The current rotation has 33 maps, so it looks like it has enough diversity but actually only 12 of them are 0, 64 maps. Most of the time the server is near full, so you keep playing those 12 maps over and over. My suggestions have potentially 5-7 maps that are 0, 64 maps, so it would add more depth to the cycle. Maybe no need to remove maps from old rotation, maybe just add some more maps to the list?

As you can see from my ratings, I agree with you as I rated the first ones with high points and tramfight and subway with lower points. I played for a month or so at your jay1 server, I don't know the past so maybe you already played a lot tramfight and subway. I don't like them much either but they are better than some of the maps in the current rotation but if they were played some time ago a lot, then no need to add them again. I don't mind it as long as the other ones get a chance .

PART II (Maps I would like to see) First of all, please change the current cycle. It does not have depth at all. I keep playing all the same maps over and over. So I tried to list some maps to add depth to the cycle and also some good ones could replace other maps from the current cycle. All listed maps are maps which I would like to see, but I still have a personal taste and based on that I will rate the maps with points (1-10). So you can see which ones I would see rather than others, but actually I would like to see all of them. (Sorry for the auto-embed of youtube videos, don't know how to disable this function) Tramfight (5/10) I think you all should know this one. Karsiah (6/10) Should be fine for 0, 36 Subway (5/10) Could be easily an 0, 64 one V2 Base (6/10) Nice map but probably not good with more than 30 ppl online. Missile (9/10) Awesome map, should be fine with 0, 64 MLB Hotchkiss (9/10) This map is also very cool. Probably a 0, 38 Airfield Assault (6/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/47-airfield-assault-fp1-airassault-fp1pk3/ I think a 0, 64 one. Definitely better than many other maps (like Capuzzo or Venice) Byzantine (5/10) http://bunkerwiki.aaxxss.com/index.php/Byzantine Also a 0, 64. A fun map. La Rochelle (5/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/635-la-rochelle-beta-2-rochelle-b2pk3/ Could be a 0, 40 map Overlord (9/10) I love this map. It is way better than et_beach, please add this map. Rock Eyes (5/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/601-rock-eyes-beta-2-rockeyes-b2pk3/ Also a nice map. Cathedral (5(10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/88-cathedral-final-cathedral-finalpk3/ Maybe a 0, 36 map. X-Posed (8/10) http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/539-x-posed-ndt-final/ Definitely a good map and also a 0, 64 one. Reactor (5/10) 0, 30 probably There are probably some more maps I loved to play in the past, but these are all I remember now.

I have a few suggestions, too. So, most of these maps are not playable anyway, because of the spawntime but I don't want to discuss it. See my other topic about it. Not mentioned maps are fine in my opinion. PART I (Review of the current cycle) Oasis My most favourite map of ET, I love it. But honestly it is unplayable with so many ppl because of the few exits you have. Don't remove it but 0, 36 seems fine to me. Supplydepot Also not playable when too many ppl online. 0, 36 is fine. mlb_temple I think you can remove the restrictions and make it a 0, 64. The first part of the map is open (open air) anyway, and the last part has enough room for all players. bba0-beta2 I think this map is called Castle. Very fun map, BUT I think it has sth like 25 mins of playtime. WAAY too much. It gets quickly boring. Reduce the time of it to 12 mins. Bremen Why 0, 36? It is an open map. 25 vs 25 should work too, not much different than a 18 vs 18. Adlernest 0, 34 is too low in my opinion because you have antirush mod anyway. 0, 40 should also be fine (or maybe more, need to test it). Fueldump A bit laggy, and also not enjoyable with many ppl online. All Allies guys camp before the wall, and Axis in the Fueldump area. Should be a 0, 36. Beerrun Why is it only a 12, 30? Even sp_delivery has a 0, 38. I think it should be also a 0, 38 at least. Saberpeak Please, please remove this map. When this map starts, mostly people leave the game. But not just that, this map is laggy, it is bright/colorful as hell (it hurts the eyes) and it ist just fun for wannabe snipers. I played soo many times as Allied engie in this map, usually I get to plant 3-5 times. No help, no teamplay, rarely 3-4 doing obj. First part of the map is just sniping. That part is quickly over. Then, after the door is blown up, no way you can win this map. The Axis spawn is exactly before the obj, so you can't go through the ground to the submarine (thanks low spawntimes). You must do the trickjump (or the nadejump) to go from top. But they are always some ppl waiting there. This map is the most frustrating of all maps. It just sucks, nobody likes this map anyway.

Ah, right, that was the problem. Sorry and thanks.

Well, I don't know why but it doesn't work anymore. I mean it worked when I first installed. The day after not. Then I uninstalled and installed again, and it worked again. After that again the same thing, not working. Also tried this one and the ETminimizer both in compatibility mode, not working... Guess, we can't do much about it, just wanted to give feedback.
