Author Topic: Waiting On Next Beta Patch? (Read 10823 times)

Any estimates on when classic NS will be back in rotation? I absolutely loathe combat, and I miss having a place to play 3.0 with good players. So, until 3.0beta3, or whatever LB is waiting on, I'll see you on Lunixmonster from time to time.

Anyway, the point of this thread was to ask is there are any pending improvements that canbe made to FSD prior to another beta release to help the CPU utilization?

From what I understand every major release has suffered from lag problems. They get the game working, get the bugs under control, then tighten the code to deal with the lag and cpu issues.

need....ns.....graaarrggle

Dark · February 04, 2004, 02:27:36 PM

i'ld like to have classic ns back on Free Sunny D and one thing if nancy shows up (i think it won't) but if it does one of the admins could change the map to insure that the major computer usage on nancy doesn't show up

devicenull · February 04, 2004, 02:32:54 PM

IMO, theres no way for nancy to come back, until a new version of nancy comes back..
The current one is WAY too laggy..

Yea I miss the days of playing ns with the lunixmonster crowd on classic ns maps for hours on end.

Smoke Nova · February 04, 2004, 02:38:18 PM

How about we leave ns_* out of rotation but instead we can let vote runs for ns_* go.

Because a co_* only server will tend to keep griefer's out since it's harder to grief in combat and it will let serious NS players play.

Mouse · February 04, 2004, 02:42:17 PM

I won't, it the non-regs that im afraid of o_O

BobTheJanitor · February 04, 2004, 03:27:51 PM

I'm happy either way, as long as I can still go to LM for my classic fix. We could try a ns/ns/co/ns/ns/co map rotation for a while. If the team can win the game fast, there's no lag problem, it's only the longer games that start lagging. Just when things start getting hot and heavy, pings skyrocket. =S

Edited for different map rotation. I'd rather have two ns, then one co, then repeat. The alternating map method sounds like a little too much combat. I told ya combat would get dull pretty quick!

I had a serious surge of commrage today. I swear I was ready to jump out and not comm the rest of the game (but I didn't). Anyway, it was on ns_bast and the marines should of won, but they couldn't get one thing straight: listen to what I say. So, I ended up giving them HA quite a few times and they still couldn't kill two damn onos. I mean is it really that hard to point and shoot? Even I can do it on my slow connection. But all this would have been avoided if they would have went through the PG in the beginning to siege Engine. Mouse was there; he knows what I'm talking about.

Anyway, LB, I will never complain! I want to play some 3.0 NS on ayumi...or at least vote for them more often.

BigD · February 04, 2004, 09:29:37 PM

yay ns maps are back...but ns/co/ns/co would be nice....just played 4-5 ns maps in a row im not complaining its nice to have ns back!!but if you could throw a co in throw every few maps or something to get a back then back to ns ns

CommunistWithAGun · February 04, 2004, 11:08:23 PM

I don't like combat, but I love NS, I hate lag, but CO dosen't lag, therefore, I won't play NS till its fixed, and only co, just because it dosen't lag. I wish you didnt change it back

Now I can't play there

BigD · February 05, 2004, 12:41:38 AM

Given that two Oni are involved and your playing 2.1 with THE HITBOX ISSUE OF DOOM! fairly hard.

Bear in mind that pointing and shooting is one thing. Hitting the bit that registers the hit is another thing.

Pings don't go through the roof unless there is lag, ping is an indication of how long its taking packets to transmit, and half a second is wayyyy laggy

FYI, I was playing with these 500+ pings, commanding, the buttons were lagging, peoples movements were jagged. So nyah!

BigD · February 05, 2004, 01:11:05 PM

i know what ping is...all i saying is there WASNT ANY LAG...and this happened once in 4 hours...i cant explain why there wasnt any lag with 500 ping....but it was only that ONE time...and it was on ns_hera....i havnt got it anywhere else
