    Re: The Oracle: Ask Lyra A Question !

    1. Out of those that play (or have played) on our main server, who consistently outsmarts you? Why do they outsmart you?
    I could prolly name a couple of 3rd but I am too guilty of teamstacking on your side.

    Spiff prolly has been the most dangerous force on the TG Server lately to bring me down in all situations of life. The guy has done his homework and has lots of experience.


    2. What is my largest flaw as a squad leader?
    You often try to be "fancy" even against a team we do not have to outsmart. We could just defeat them with a streight forward push and keeping up our good revive and rocket skills. Thus you create a problem where there is none.

    After a while you wonder why the enemy doesn´t fall for your fancy tactics and begin doubting yourself.


    3. What is my largest flaw as player?

    &

    10. What can I do to become a better player? What's my "problem?"

    You prolly are too much of an Infantry player at heart and that is where you more than excel at. Maybe you could spend time learning some refined vehicle driving. Even if it is only n order to be able to keep your SL butt alive a few seconds more.



    4. Have you ever used an aimbot, a hack, or a glitch? What'd you think of it? Did it make you see things differently?
    I never ever came close to an aimbot or even the thought of it.

    I also never used a hack in an online game. Just a few offline games I wanted to finish without suffering.


    Hacks and Aimbots in an online game are an absolute turn off for me. I live and get enjoyed by improving myself. Not by downloading an aimbot.


    "Glitches" are hard to define. I use some of them. Some just are generally accepted to do. Like "When there is an Orbital you get on a ladder and will not take damage" or "Press Forward and Strafe at the same time in the PAC tank to travel at enhanced speed"



    Thinking hard of it there actually was 1 glitch being used in the 7th competition play times. The glitch is patched out now and doesn´t work anymore so I can share it.

    You went into 2142 into OPTIONS > AUDIO. There you went from SOFTWARE > HARDWARE > SOFTWARE. Then you joined the game and sometimes magically the ZOOM sway of your weapon would be gone.

    This glitch was a heavy violation of the game balance and was NEVER used outside comp play. But in the competition scene it was like an open secret and used by all of the top teams. When you saw people on the enemy team often loading and unloading a hundret times on a map, you just knew they were trying to get rid of their sway.




    5. What kind of thing makes you exit the game, mid-round?
    Often big Armor maps just cannot hold up to the teamwork, fun and revive games of smaller maps. So the ALT+F4 button is often being pressed mid round.



    6. What is the largest flaw of the TG mindset in terms of purely having fun in this video game?
    The General "TG mindset" changed the last couple of months around the newer games. The old mindset was very strongly orientated on "What would be realistic?". The newer thoughts are now more focused on "What is balanced?". This eleminated the largest flaw I saw.



    7. What's your impartial opinion of our admins as a whole? What is their largest flaw?
    The 2142 Admins are great and work their butt off every day. Their flaw prolly would be ever saying "YES" to the crazyness that is being an Admin.

    The biggest flaw in general I would see is that recruiting "field" admins that only are allowed simple kicks and warns on our Conquest Server is not allowed by the TG policy. It could basically guarantee a true 24/7 coverage. But the policy is to only recruit fulltime admins that are 100% loyal.



    8. Why don't you squad lead? Do you believe you'll perform worse individually if you SL? Do you not have the patience to lead newbies?
    I played the game now for so long as SM that all my movement and thoughts and positioning is focused on being an efficient Squadmember.

    Being an SL means different movement and positioning. I am not really good at those. I can prolly SL not too bad following simple DOs and DONTs of the Battlefield logic.


    I also prolly should follow my own adviced from earlier and not expect too much then doing the SL job. When I SL I try to take care of my SMs like my own children. Which can lead to hugh stress and headaches. Also sadness when they die without a revive.



    9. The smartest three individuals to ever wear the TG-7 tags?
    Fehmart Fehmart and Fehmart

    Takes all 3 top spots by himself. He even ran around and picked up enemy kits. Emptied their main weapon into the ground and left the kit back on the ground stuck in the reload animation. "Because an enemy might come and pick it up. So I can kill him while he is reloading"


    Ultrablue is a real gem, too.

    There are just to many awesome people to pick one out... Bom, Hidus, Zoopy, Arf, Zoraster, etc



    11. Who is the prettiest girl alive today?
    Reaper would prolly say your mom.

    Is this something similar to 'bridging'? I was forwarding ports for another client when I came across this. http://www.portforward.com/english/r...field_2142.htm

    I really don´t know what bridging is.


    It also seems "Fastpath" is somehow unknown outside of Germany I couldn´t find any English article on it.



    Usually our DSL has "Interleaving" as an error correction. Data packages get transmited interleaved to allow for a higher rate of error correction. With Fastpath on, the packages just get send "serial" - one after the other. More prone to data errors but also a lot faster.

    Re: The Oracle: Ask Lyra A Question !

    O wise Oracle,

    What is the deal with the Transport guns? One side works and one side doesn't? Which is which? Is it the same for PAC and EU Transport?

    If I learn this, can I kill-whore, er..., I mean ROFLcopter?
    .

    It´s pretty simple.

    Both Guns of the PAC Transport work. But they overheat more, fire slower
    and have those darn engines in their way that can produce big lag.

    ONLY the left gun of the EU Transport works. The right gun can be temp fixed by spinning it around like nuts to recalibrate it. But this doesn´t last long. Also the LEFT gun sometimes gets broken after you got hit by EMP. The Gun of the Sheppard is vastly superior tho.



    Just by this you cannot ROFLcopter. Gunning in the Transport is not that hard. Just point click and shoot. Even tho situational awareness between your minimap and where you point your gun helps alot.

    I have seen many Roflcopter attempts on our server fail horribly tho. The real power of the Roflcopter comes from its pilot. You have to learn how to fly the Transport in the back outside view. This way you can see what is going on below you. See shots from Pilums and SAWWs early and be able to pull back.


    BONUS FACT: You can Repair the Roflcopter from inside F5 and F7. Less well known is you can also repair it from F4 by holding the repair tool in a certain angle ! 3 repair seats! Oh my !

    Because I made it?

    Was my first Video and shown a legit Gold Pistold Badge. Whereas everyone else just had their way on a Pistol&Knife only server.


    This was made BEFORE the Pistol upgrade that made Pistols a LOT better. Kinda rly old. No HQ Version on youtube either.

    Because TG fosters one of the few surviving 2142 communities that aren't completely full of bull****, offline admins or stat whoring weasels.
