Where Are You Playing

[Hammy]

Okay guys-

I dont get this. I havent had much time to play in the last 30 days, but the last few days I ahve logged in and saw 4 on 4 or 6 on 6.
Pretty much dismal, though fun, because the people who want to play here are here to have fun.

Anyways-

What the heck is the problem? I see many of you all playing elsewhere. I dont want to be too negative, but I dont get it.

The server was set up based on the feedback we got in the early go, and now those people who asked for those changes are playing elsewhere? CMON! Thats just not really what I expected.

Okay -look- we like playing with you. Come back for a trial membership, bring back the knowledge you gained wherever you have been playing, and we'll try to make it work.

While I am an admin, this doesnt necessarily reflect our community. This reflects my opinion and desire to see my friends come back and play here. I think we can do better, I wish I had more time to gather all the data - but the reality is that I dont.

So it is entirely up to the community members now. Do we let it be or do we get it fun again in here?

Your choice...

Hammy, I have a different approach. I play free-for-all other places because I can get more shots with my bad ping time. If I'm gonna die easily anyway, I may as well take somebody with me. Its very hard for me to play with really good people, but I like it when its all CLR's. I can appreciate most everyone here and dont mind much when they knife me in the back.(Minerva) Well except Phantom. But thats just between me and him.

Plus, my time to be able to play varies from you guys. I'm either up really late into the morning. Or I have to get up really early to catch everyone. So invariably, I play somewhere else until our server takes off.

There have been a few times that a particular person will come into our server that I think is hacking. None of our group, but when he shows up I leave. Its just a personal thing, nothing to do with anything else. It just makes the game no fun when one individual is doing all the killing.But thats just me.

Might I humbly suggest taking another survey since the game has been kicked off a while and see what other people have run into in other servers that they like. I have several things that I would like to see, but like I said in a previous post, I'll keep that to myself unless I'm asked. But those things dont keep me away from playing here. I dont know what other peoples reasons are. But maybe you bringing it up will clear a few thing up. Hope so.

I play on servers where they have tanks.

[Caddys83]

I play here at Cains

But I play mainly around 3-5 am central standard time on weekdays. No one is on. I just can't wait that late to get some kills. Weekens I try to play on Cains when I wake up. I also miss the two maps like Airfield and Courtyard. Never liked Dome Map.

Hammy, I know this has been discuss many times before here on the forums and I don't want to get into a arguement about it but in my defense, I like tanks. I sometimes get the urge to blow a tank up. Or take out the gunner sitting on top. On Cains when I come across a red barrel, I just have to blow it up. ahhhh relieved

[Dead...Again]

I normally play from 11PM EST to whenever. I will always play on Cains if there is anyone in the server when I login. If not, then I will find another server. A lot of the time, by the time I log on there are only a few left on the server. I'll play until it dies, then switch to another server.

[Skud]

well

I get home just before midnight, Central Time. No one is on. If someone wants to pm me for a game at that time some night, I'll join (but if it's tdm with only four, I won't stay long)...but I usually can't stay up for long on an empty server waiting for someone. I have played some matches in the afternoons, but then, I suppose, most folks are at work or school...and it is slow then as well.

I have seen free for all servers with people late at night, and joined there for some quick games. With the spawn system and comparative lack of cooperative play, free for all doesn't seem too bad. And free for all for smaller numbers prevents folks from just hunkering down and camping...it's a drag when one is the only runner. Also have played a little search and destroy, which wouldn't be bad for small to moderate numbers...it wasn't great because of asshatters, but would be fun with pals at the Lair.

Other thoughts would be that I have seen people leave when they see it's 1000 points per kill. Most people that wanted to go to level ten have done so by now, and the rest might want standard scoring. Trying tanks again couldn't hurt, it seems, either. After 30,000 kills, it is sometimes nice to blow up something bigger than a man.

Just some thoughts. I've logged in plenty of hours...and have been playing less lately anyway...no more half day marathons.

[Gimmie2]

well if anyone is up for a game im on right now...

[Donziboy2]

From what i can tell you cant use the current point system in server for prestige. I havent been able to get past lvl 1.

[Gimmie2]

no u just have to do the 1st rank of each prestige legitimately, ex from pvt->PFC

[TheSilentAssassin]

Unfortunately while I am at college, I can't play most of the time as I am too busy with school, but when I do play, I ONLY play at Cain's Lair server.

[mapes]

I was just wondering this too? Whenever I log I checkout the lair. If someone is on I join but, since I get home at 8:00 PST most night noone is around

[andiie69]

i live in austrlia and when eva i check out the server its empty

I've been trying to conquer the universe in Space Empires 5. Which is a gigantic time sink.

Last night at around 8 PM ET most of you missed getting to play WAW with Cain.
