Quality seemed far improved from TS2 and it may be worthwhile to explore since it's got way better user features than Vent. SONIC12 Mar : 18:25 I wonder if we can get a deal on a server rental with TS or Vent. I've got plenty of time to help populate a server... lol. And, I am enjoying the game, so I can imagine spending more and more time online. Count me in for $20/month if we decide to rent. That's about all I can manage without a job =) VT_NERD12 Mar : 18:13 Yeah, their map rotation and settings were no good. I only wanted to see if I'd be recognized and subsequently banned. I'd like to try out TS3 if anyone knows of a demo server or anything. Vent may be the way to go, but I've never used TS3 so I'm curious. El-Gorko12 Mar : 14:51 Also, I think I may rent either a Ventrilo or TS3 server. They're like $2.50 a month. El-Gorko12 Mar : 14:50 We've been using Ventrilo. Also, don't worry about us playing on that server. It was super shitty and I think all of us just sorta wanted to get banned. SONIC12 Mar : 10:55 I've got to say, I'm NEVER playing on the TRashED server after the way I was treated. Screw them. I'm going to spend more time playing the SP to get used to the game so that I can do well in MP... I've seemed to have lost my edge after playing so much AIX by myself. What commo program are you all using? Akira12 Mar : 08:34 We found the TRashED server last night and played in it for a while. They are trying to have a Hardcore server but not a true hardcore. Hope to see you soon online soon Sonic. SONIC11 Mar : 13:09 Well, I've got installed on my desktop and laptop. It seems to run very well. I've only completed the very first part of the SP campaign but it really reminded me of COD+Crysis. I detest the cut-away scenes, but that's just part of SP play I guess. Once I complete the SP to get up to speed, I'll be ready for some MP action. =) El-Gorko10 Mar : 09:46 The SP campaign was quite fun, but beware the game is pretty vulgar. You might not want your kinds around as you play it. SONIC09 Mar : 20:53 I'm going to start the SP campaign tomorrow to prepare for a little MP action later on. Congrats on the new job, Nerd! VT_NERD09 Mar : 14:57 Not sure. I think I forgot to mention it, but I got a real job and I start that on Monday so I'll be able to chip in for a BC2 server and VoIP server if we decide to get either one. VT_NERD08 Mar : 09:38 Not sure how I missed it, but TS3 is out now. Gorko and I were talking about renting a VoIP server, has anyone used TS3 yet? Akira04 Mar : 14:08 I will pick my copy up this weekend and get it installed. Hope we can set up a time to get together and game some. El-Gorko18 Feb : 13:19 I think I acquired a beta key... They've got them on fileplay.net if you register for free. Akira17 Feb : 17:00 I haven't even picked up BC2 yet. I will try and get it this weekend if I can find it. Or get it from steam. Wed or Thurs is good for me also. I am still around just been real busy. SONIC15 Feb : 10:35 Okay, I'll try to make myself available on Wed and Thu for BC2. We don't HAVE to get a server right away if we can find one or two we want to frequent. Perhaps some of the BF2142 guys we know will have one up. Then, when we all come into a little cash we can rent a box. VT_NERD08 Feb : 14:14 I'm basically in the same shoes as Gorko. I *might* have a "real" job using my degree soon, but not yet. Until then, finances are limited for me too. As for playtime, pretty much any day of the week is ok for me - just need a bit of planning so I'm not involved in some dungeon run or something in WAR. El-Gorko08 Feb : 13:01 I certainly won't be opposed to getting a server for BC2. My only concern is I'm super broke these days so I wouldn't be able to contribute much. View all posts (1683) |
Folks,
Well, it’s Friday and time for another Sneak Peak at the next major patch. In this case it will be an early look at the Patch 1.2 patch cycle. While we could easily call this patch Combat & Careers Part Deux, I think a better name is the Bugs, Careers, Bugs, Items and Bugs Patch. Over this patch cycle we will have addressed and resolved about 500 bugs and issues (some internal, most external) and some of the changes have already been pushed to LIVE. Now, while a lot of these are teeny tiny little bugs, such as grammatical errors in tool tips, the majority of them are substantial. This patch is intended to be made available to our Core Testers next week on our Public Test Server (PTS). We also intend to break with tradition a little bit and make the entire patch notes available to the community before the patch goes to the PTS. So, without further ado, here are some highlights from the 1.2 patch cycle. 1) Bugs: I’m certainly not going to list 500 bugs/issues here, but the list is rather lengthy and right now bug fixes alone are coming in at about 16 pages of notes. 2) New Careers: Two new careers have been added, the Slayer and the Choppa. For those that got a look at the Choppa during Beta, you’ll see some changes and improvements but the Slayer is all new and ready to take the field for the first time. 3) Combat and Careers Adjustments: Lots and lots of bug fixes, adjustments and tweaks to all careers. This Balance patch focuses on addressing a number of global issues identified by the players that have been affecting the overall feel and balance of the game. This includes items such as Resistance stacking, Disorient effects, and Damage Absorb shields. In addition to these more global changes, we continue to work on each individual career addressing many of the more significant balance concerns and bugs brought up by the community. This includes a focus on the following careers; Witch Elf, Witch Hunter, Chosen, Knight, Black Orc, and Swordmaster. 4) Realm vs Realm: RvR is introducing several great changes including the new Open RvR Rallying Cry, Zone Domination System, and Siege Weapon Improvements and more! 5) Items: Itemization improvements and fixes for Gunbad, Bastion Stair, Lost Vale, Fortress Raid Rewards, City Invasion Rewards, and more! 6) Crafting System Improvements: Overall improvements to the system with Apothecary being the focus of this patch. New ingredients, improved interfaces and more. 7) Public Quests: Easy PQs for Tiers two, three, and four! This completes our first pass at the Easy PQ system and we will continue to review and tweak the system as necessary. As we have already done for Tier One, we have gone through the PQs in each Tier and made sure that at least one per chapter can be completed by 1-3 people. 8) New Live Event: The Bitter Rivals event will be launching with this version as the official kick off for the anticipated introduction of the Slayer and Choppa! 9) New Scenario: The Twisting Tower Scenario will be making a special preview appearance! 10) User Interface: Lots of UI improvements for both old and new systems! These improvements cover everything from crafting to RvR. 11) Mail: Send multiple items attached to each mail! Easily one of our most requested features by the players. 12) Client Stability: Continued improvements to the client in the areas of stability performance and visual quality. Improvements to an MMO’s client, just like the server, are ongoing and these will continue now and in the future to be one of our priorities. As always, there’s a lot more to this patch than I can hope to cover here and things are subject to change during testing, but 1.2 is a huge patch for us and it will be followed by another large patch, 1.3. I’m also working on a State of the Game that will lay out, in more detail, our plans for the rest of 1.2, 1.3 and beyond. And once again, this is only a Sneak Peak. =) Mark Source: [link]    | Welcome Guest
