Unhappy Thx for the games, but I am out

You guys have a nice server, love the teamwork. I ping nice and there are usually good players on it. I usually start a squad named teamwork and sometimes some TG guys join and we have a good time. I just can't play more than 2-3 rounds without getting kicked.

Before you ask, no I am not paying 120/yr to play a game I allready paid 50 bucks for, so joining is out. If you had a 5/mo. associate member just to play on the server, that would be cool. I am not interested in competative play, just look for good pub servers to mess around on. Anyways, thanks for the games, take care.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

The membership fee here is $120.00 if you pay month to month your best option is to prepay the whole year which is $80.00 which averages out to about $6.33 a month which is only a $1.33 more than what you would consider acceptable.

There's no pressure to join but I hope you stay at TG good luck

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

As Drizzid says, no pressure, but keep in mind that these servers are not free, so someone has to pay for them. Those people are the people who end up with reserved slots.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

Deadonaim, I hope to see you out there again. Your a very good player. Remember that it's a payment of support to help good servers like this to be around and stay. But besides that, Wish you the best of fraggin.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

That's definetly the case with many people who aren't in TG such as myself. After 1 time on your server it went straight to the favorites. The teamwork and low ping come together as an awesome time, but the kicks are annoying (although justified).
Right now I am waiting for some space to open up on your server. I haven't played 2142 for a week now, and I really want to get in another great game.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

As Tempus says, the money has to come from somewhere. EA doesn't just give us a free server to play with. Pre-paying for a year is the cheapest option.

It all depends whether you think the guaranteed access to teamwork is worth the price of a movie every month. I know that this game would be worthless to me without TG, since I simply cannot handle the crappy gameplay on other servers.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

Been playing on TG servers the past few nights without membership. Yes, I get kicked once every few games (it's actually a lot less then what I expected to be honest), but I just continually try and get back in and in under 2 minutes I'm usually back in and playing with my squad. I just think of it as a longer death. Small price to pay if you ask me.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

BF 2142 is the hot game at the moment and attracts a crowd--hence the kick script...When you get kicked from 2142 I invite you to look at the other titles and servers TG members are playing. After a look around I bet you'd be able to sign right on.

Of course we'd love you have you become a supporting member when you are ready but in the interim there are a ton of good titles being played here and you'll find knockout teamwork in just about everyone of them. There is even a virtual racing league out there...good stuff all.

I think that's your ping Playing on pub servers is fun, because, well, you slaughter everyone else after playing with TG for a while.

I'm planning on becoming a sponsor eventually, can't right now, but still, I don't get kicked out that often. Probably because 2142 freezes every once in a while so I have to restart the game. Whenever I do get kicked, I'm rarely out of the server for 5 minutes, usually less. Just go to Advances, type in TacticalG, and update the list until you get a space. Doesn't take very long.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

I've been thinking about this and I was wondering if anything about the kick script is open to discussion. We still have a Titan server that goes largely unused.

Re: Thx for the games, but I am out

Every once in a while someone comes into the squad mid game mentioning the had to rejoin after getting kicked. It sounds like there's just a battle of kick/rejoin going on during peak times.

What about two conquest servers, with #2 server going Titan a couple of times a week? Kind of like password nights? Like someone said, Titan goes mainly unused...

Yup, waste of resources.
