I think the server is down if anyone is around right now.  Not seeing it registered in the server list.

Hmm, I've played with and against Chavez and SSL1.  As much as I wanted to think they were cheating, they've both handed my ass to me as legitimately as I've ever seen, and I like to think I've given it back too.  Just good players IMHO.

Usually use kaRma.

I get it, but that's why there is a feedback forum right?  I usually just leave the server, i.e., move on.  I just think the server could use some more variety, ala the Coral Sea thread with more AA guns on the ships., etc.

PT boats rule.  If it has PT boats, I want to play it.  Suckers.

I've seen extra 50cals on ships. It was a bit wonky but they were functional. I think you can add AA also on the top. All server side. If Dink pulls that off it would be an amazing improvement to coral.

The desert maps need more jeeps. Gazala, El Al (and Aberdeen x2 per main.) Even with bots off, I think. smile

I like the extra AA, but I do think the ships should be death zones for droppers.  Not to get "realistic" here, but not like you'd see an airman drop onto a ship then lay C4 and kill guys.  I like the air battle and I'm not a flyer, I like engineering on that map.  Wrench, wrench, wrench, man an AA gun.  Run, wrench, etc.  It's turned into an infantry battle, which I don't think is the intention.  Typing wrench 3 times sucks.  heheh

Hey ~S,

RTR is a separate server: https://www.gametracker.com/server_info … 115:14568/

The idea I was banned for not even a Team Kill is pathetic over kill by an admin. who did this just a few minutes ago.  Loser administrator who would ban without  seeing why the guy was hit by me. We were losing and this guy jumps in to take over? No way is that acceptable behavior.

Not to be contrarian, but do you see how your tone comes off on your complaint to a "free as in air server"?  And there are also a fair amount of "bots" on this server, who won't listen.

PitViper, are you known under another handle?  I appreciate what you are saying on a 60% map vote.  I just want to see some variation.  And, on CTF Berlin/Stalingrad when the !notime or whatever it is comes out, my feelings are ah jeez this is going to take forever.  But IMHO you guys run the best server and make it very enjoyable even when I'm not in tune with the map, so thank you.  I had a 24/7 Invasion map a couple years ago, but not a big player base and no admins.

Any way of introducing lets say a 4-6PM RTR or DC or something like that kind of thing?  What would be the SiMPLEs't  big_smile  way to introduce or change it up a bit?

Thanks for reading,

Is there any way we can get a few more maps into rotation?  It seems like it's a Stalingrad/Berlin fest most of the time.  They aren't necessarily bad maps, but they get a little repetitive and Counterstrikey.

Thanks,

I'm glad you think it's funny.  Kind of figures you would because a GOOD admin would have not continued plastering the losing team and would have switched teams to help the other.

Interesting that you say that for a couple reasons, the first being that when I'm playing on a team that obviously is holding people to their spawn I always wonder where the line is for base camping, outside of "in a spawned tank" or inside the "fence".  I pretty much let them get going in whatever endeavor they are trying for.  I get trying to hold a team in, because if you let them break out, it might be curtains for your team.  But...

The second is that if you are just nuking people without a challenge, what's the point?

I hope that makes sense.

Does repairing a tank with multiple engineers in the shallows still let you drive a tank on to the airfield in Invasion?

I almost wonder if that was just a demo of what kind of destruction you can do to the environment vs, what will actually be implemented into the game.  It looks cool though.

I wish they would just release BF1943 for PC and we could then import maps to it...  So pissed when they cancelled that.

#17 Re: Feedback » The story of Philippines & Midway, or how to kill a server. » 2016-04-17 23:05:22

Invasion is the best map out there, at least if the server is somewhat full.  I liked the original configuration where Japan had to take the island.  We used to get mowed down repeatedly trying to land, but if you landed then the game was on.  Or drive a landing ship over to Point Boyington, etc.  Get a PT boat and go seek out planes, other PT boats, etc.  A good sniper doing over watch on South and a guy manning the flak gun to kill incoming tanks and or mop up and you've got yourself some fun. 

It seems like there is a lot of Berlin and Stalingrad going on right now.

And by the way, team wounding is still an offense even if you are !twound'ing a TK'er: "If I find a TK'er, I just sit there and shoot near his feet".

I don't shoot them, I shoot near them to clarify.  That always seems to get the guy who just put 4 rounds into my legs to put 4 more into me.

Partially true, but also true is how easy it is to get back into the game.  Simple seems to have done it well, but it was a bit of "installcraft" if you haven't played in a while.  Especially mixing origin and discs, etc.

Hey Soporific. The more you play, the less team kills will happen. As you watch the players, you will see the vast majority play the entire game without getting 3 tks. In the end, even if you do get kicked, its not very severe to simply be kicked and allowed to immediately return to the game, sans the score you had. I am betting with a little more game time under the belt, you too will not be kicked so often.

  Come on back frequently, make friends with some regular folks and kick ass when it happens and the flow is good! Hope to see you in the game.

I hear you Pleiades53, I really have been playing since 2003-4 when it came out.  I'm 41 now.  It happens to my buddy too, and we TK each other when defending something like the airfield on Iwo Jima.  Or assaulting something; just the chaos of a fight.  What I think happens, and this is just my opinion here, is that if you do happen to assault something you might TK someone so it makes some people hesitant to get into the thick of it.  I know it has for me.  If I find a TK'er, I just sit there and shoot near his feet, so he gets kicked quickly.  Better that happen now rather than later I think.

I do like to see my score.  A lot of times, it is low, sometimes I will get a medal.  Mostly me and my "clan" - my buddy, try to be strategically effective.  i.e., holding the airfield at Iwo, or South on Invasion, South on El Alamein or Gazala (odd it's always South).  I get the reason for the kick, and the punishment isn't bad, but I guess I get bummed when I'm kicked for it when I'm not a troll and I'm not going about things in a bad way.  Sometimes it just happens.

Does "ftk" in the console actually work?

Just wanted to say thank you for the server and the admins who make it what it is.  More or less, it's Simple USA or MoonGamers due to latency.  I like that you actually have rules, and I appreciate it.

Thanks again,

Playing Simple LA server BF1942 it seems that kicks after 3 team kills.  Shouldn't this be reflected by total score, or at least mitigated by it?  I understand a guy who has a zero or 1-2 point score, but after 40 minutes it's certainly not unimaginable that you will get 3 team kills.  A guy walking right in front of a jeep, tank, a guy next to something that blows up by accident, a grenade where you didn't see them.

I think it brings the pace of the game down when you get punished so severely and the status message is just kicked.  I get base camping and that type of things, I just think the 3TK rule needs to be tweaked.

Sincerely,

Soporific
