Titan Server

**johnflenaly** · 12-01-2006, 12:46 AM

I see post all the time about ppl seeding the titan server and doing it right then. This is great and all but it leaves them sitting 30 mins + to start a games. What im thinking is we have planed titan nights posted a few days ahead of time.

As such i will be on the titan server after 5 pm cst tommorow Friday the 1st of december. /sign if you plan on joining me.

Good idea. I'll be on. I hate sitting in the server for an hour before a game starts.

Good idea, but I'm traveling this weekend... next week I'll definitely join you guys though, if you wanna add to your buddy list -> Filippo

I really enjoy titan, but again I also enjoy playing with people in my limitted play time. I rarely get more than an hour a night so spending 30 minutes seeding isn't that rewarding for me personally. Lets get some nights planned!

**Telorn** · 12-01-2006, 11:15 AM

Exactly. A simple solution is to set a specific night as official Titan night. If I happen to be playing that night, I'd join.

Hmm... Don't get off of work will 6 and it's a long drive home, so I suppose I'll be able to join after you guys do the hard work of getting the darn server seeded. Happy Blasting!

Darn, LOVe Titan, but I'm on exercise with my regiment this weekend. Have fun!

**LuckyStrike** · 12-01-2006, 12:25 PM

Happy hour is until 7 EST. What to do.. what to do?

I suggest using the server for the smaller player count on the large conquest maps again. It doesn't seem to be worth it to have a titan server no one plays when we can have an more tactical conquest server running as well.

Just post up an agreed 'titan time' and have people play it then. Good times to be had by all regardless of whenever. ^_^

And IMHO a 'titan time' is something that is required for our servers. This time should be when there is an admin on hand and either in the server playing or lurking around with a ear out. Too many padders and exploiters around to leave the titan server up unattended.

Sometimes it feels like there just aren't enough TG'ers interested in Titan. Even with the scheduled time today, we seeded the server for 40 minutes before a game started.

True, but it was running well into the night. If my ping hadn't spiked to 2500 and boot me off at midnight EST, I'd still be playing.

I don't know if the others feel the same as the squad I led last night but there was so much complaining.

"It's laggy. Conquest isn't like this." I didn't find it too bad and previous nights on the server didn't give me any lag so it could be a random problem. I've encountered lag on the conquest server but it's not every game. I understand if your connection is having a bad night, your PC specs don't run titan as well, or titan just doesn't run as well. Don't play titan instead of joining a game and complaining. I thought titan night would be filled with players interested in playing titan.

"I'm dying so much. I'm not having fun." It sort of comes with titan attack. The games are usually twice as long as conquest matches. The difference is most games don't end because you killed the other team more than they killed you.

"Lay a beacon down. Don't you have a beacon?" This is more complaining about SL leading style but I didn't like it either. I was trying something different. The titans were close enough to pod over and laying a beacon would still require players to pod in except to a known location. I thought a recon droid would be more useful and have squad members spawn directly on me.

Maybe it was the way I was leading but I didn't appreciate any of the comments. Negative talk during a game spreads like a disease. It makes it less fun for others and they start to think how much the game sucks. They start to believe the comments. I got frustrated and felt like I was the reason part of the squad wasn't enjoying the game. I was glad that my power went out so I could calm down.

I've been guilty of complaining during a game before. I try to keep it off mic but sometimes it slips. This is just a reminder to keep the negativity out and put any comments in the forums.

Dont sweet it sarc. They can always leave your squad and the server so if they didnt most not have been that bad.
