Re: Conquest server getting old :(

Titan can get stale match after match. I proposed that we mix a Titan round in for every two Conquest rounds.

well a new patch is coming out and mite come with a new map so we can wait for that. also you can try not playing 2142 on weekdays and play only on friday,sat, and somtimes sunday (thats whhat i do because im in high school) unless theres vacation.so that it wont be as boring as playing everday.

While I am in favour, it would empty out the server a bit. I think that's the reason it's not that way at the moment.

**Specterr** · 04-25-2008, 06:07 PM

One in every two is too often for me, especially since titan matches tend to take twice as long as conquest matches, I'd be fine with something less often say similar to what Minsc is on right now.

**Lusitano Louco** · 04-25-2008, 08:53 PM

I am also of the opinion that mixing regular conquest with titan or NS is not the way to go because the population would fluctuate too much and eventually you'd have another empty server.

However, having a separate server for those styles of play, like you do, is only useful and relevant if the server is looked after to keep it chugging along. A server that starts to revive but has no admins very quickly turns into disarray.

I think that there is more and more staleness that is creeping in to the game for most people, I am generally happy but I would like to mix it up some more than we are.

In the past there were a few talks about how many have NS and how many don’t but I have not seen a poll lately. Maybe the basic make up of those that do have it versus those that don’t have it has changed. It may be good to run a new poll to see where we stand and if those would be willing to getting it if we added NS to our server? We may be surprised and member feed back is something that is always good to make sure we are on the right course.

Personally I would like to see the TG main server changed over to for a full weeks play from Friday to Friday say where we change from primarily conquest to primarily NS and titan. Provided that most people have NS it could bring a lot of the interest back many are looking for while still keeping the non-NS player base with perhaps conquest on server number with smaller maps and numbers to give players that can not go to the main server a chance to do something a bit different.

Something that may help as well is instead is to change things up and run 2 servers that are of smaller size 24-32 each so your on a smaller playing field.

I think it is fairly safe to say that the main server will never host a full week of either Nothern Strike or Titan as neither appeals to the majority of TG players. Also, Nothern Strike still requires an additional purchase to play those maps, so anyone without the expansion will get kicked upon map change. This isn't something we want to see, regardless of SM status. If everyone had the maps it would be a different story.

The admins will discuss tossing a Titan map into the rotation, which is much more reasonable now that we are playing each map for one round only. And for those that are getting tired of the same old play night after night, sign up and attend one of our Friday night events or other 2142 alternative night hosted by some of the IHSes.

Have we ever tried it?

Why should anyone buy Northern Strike when we provide no reason for them to do so?

Even if 99% of the TG playerbase bought NS, it wouldn't change the fact that to appeal to, well, the cheapasses

, we still wouldn't run NS, so why should anyone buy it then?

The new maps are cool and the new vehicles are also fun. The other nice thing that I would consider worth the small 10 bucks is you get 2 unlocks....hehe thats a biggie to me at least. Unlocks are far and few between these days. I dont know but to me 10 bucks is nothing, hell we can drop 3 times that on dinner out for my wife and I easy.

**Uranium - 235** · 04-26-2008, 08:47 AM

Oh don't get me wrong, the city maps in NS are utterly superior to the city maps in vanilla. It's just that except for a bi-weekly event, at best, they'll never get played.

And $10 is a drop in the hat. If you can't afford the $10 for it, ask yourself how you can afford your internet connection

**MDFubar** · 04-26-2008, 05:03 PM

Basically, if people want to play Titan they will join a Titan Server. If they want to play Conquest, they will join a conquest server. If they want to play NS, well they have to find a server and then join it....LOL.
Our servers are populated because we are hosting what the majority of people want. If you switch to Titan after playing conquest, you will lose quite a few people. When it switches back, you will agina lose people.
The second server is running, request a mode and seed it. Play and have fun.
There is an NS-Euro friendly scrim on Saturday, we had a scrim last night with only level 2 unlocks, we have Shockwave, we have the BFCL Titan matches. All of these things are available.
Oh, I left out Clan-Mod night also!

Plenty there, not sure where the problem is?

**twiddilywink** · 04-27-2008, 12:08 PM

Well, if we do play Tampa (ive never seen it done even though i have played on TG for hours on end [it seems that shortly after the minsk] and it always resets before) there are 23 (22 without tampa which is how i think it is). So what if we have a Titan right before each Tunis? (and at the end after the last Camp Gib, but not before the first tunis). That way there will be 3 Titans. Or the last one could be a NS even though a lot of u made a great point above about why buy it (btw whoever commented about 2 unlocks, u actually get 10 easy unlocks, ive only played for about 4 hours and have gotten 5 or 6 of them i think). Also, just a good thing for me as a non-supporting member and all of you other cheap people, the titan COULD (key word COULD) open slots so once its back to campaign, we could get in, if not stay in. (if we did have a NS though, it should be assult line because the Goliath hauls

)

**daithi1** · 04-27-2008, 01:15 PM

Tampa causes crashes apparently. Titan is slightly can empty a server. NS kicks anyone who hasn't bought it. These reasons seem to be good enough for me to not have any of those three in the rotation.

Don't get me wrong I'd love to have all three on the rotation but what I wouldn't like is to see is TG regs slowly go away for the above reasons.
