    any evening i check the server theres 0 players on it. thats a good few times i checked it. what time you all playing on it approx


    Normal adult gaming hours are 9:00 pm to 1:00 am
    It was quiet over Christmas because we all had other distractions.

    However before Christmas, it was classed within the top 23% BF3 servers in the world and has started picking up again this week.


    Come on tonight after 9 and hook into our teamspeak. It's the only way to survive and have real craic.

    Clearing you off that roof in Train was the highlight of the night for me, second only to Clareman absolutely plastered and cracking our sides laughing all night.

    All in all a very successful night. TS definitely rules.
    Thanks to the Tiggers for their contribution to my small KD ratio ;)

    ANARCHY RULES !!!

    Last Friday, we kicked off our weekly Friday novelty night.

    On the 13th, we ran an infantry-only server rotating five in-yer-face maps from 9:00 pm to 1:00 am. It turned out to be an absolute blast with a lot of craic on TS.

    Friday 20th we will run an Anarchy Night from 9:00 pm to 1:00 am.:eek:

    This will be a no-rules scumbucket with spawn rape, base stealing, jihad jets and noob tubing.:mad:

    To ramp it up, we will consider placing some flags off limits. Any suggestions for 5 maps, stick 'em up.

    Let's see how low you can go !!!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 799 ✭✭✭MR DAZ


    Sounds good!

    Friday night was very good.. I think this is a great idea to build back the interest after the crimbo - Booyaa!


  • Registered Users Posts: 39 beanzoo

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,452 ✭✭✭✭Blazer

    I'll pop on and try it. But still don't agree with baseraping, I know it's in the name of fun...but ill probably end up leaving if its bad...even if my team are the ones doing it

    Make Wake Island 1 of the maps.

    Server is forever on Conquest Damavand Peak or Kharg Island it seems :P

    I hear you Sean. Damavand and Kharg bore me a bit also.
    It's about time we set up another map vote to pick the favourites. (Horse ???).

    In the meantime what do people think of a sniper or explosives fest next Friday night?
    Do you prefer
    (1) Sniping only (bolt action)
    (2) Explosive weapons only
    (3) Sniping and explosive weapons.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    Explosive weapons only


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 683 ✭✭✭Scram

    rofl thats a great way to describe em. I started using c4 recently is lightweight and great fun but its explosive stuff!!

    nothing better than sneaking round to a tank and sticking c4 on it and running like **** and pressing the button!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Jonny7


    grenades, c4, claymores, rpgs, m320's, etc

    In bcbf2 we would make long daisychains of mines and c4 and blow the whole ridge in front of jeeps... wouldnt kill them, just psychological warfare :)

    same with houses, bridges, the more in the squad the more ordinance

    and of course.. the bigger and more cinematic the better

    bonus points for rigging up trojan horse vehicles and leaving them near enemy spawns

    i vote explosions


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    I'd go pistols only instead :D

    Sniper will become boring after 5 minutes, blazer on top of the overpass !! :P

    He he :)
    Even I was bored after a while...pistols are a good laugh alright...
    G18 ftw :)

    Only thing is snipers only/ knifes-pistol servers are completely against EA's ToC but since they barely enforce this we should be ok.

    However be warned that potentially you could lose your server and not get refunded for it if someone complained about it.
    This is the standard ToC for all BF3 provides...

    You don't have to label or change the server name. And sure it's mostly empty except for when we're on anyways

    haha true

    been messing with c4 earlier, where you have snippers prone not knowing ur behind them, dropping c4 packs and running and blowing em up, its great fun lol.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    Oh yeah i enjoy doing that. What you do next is run in front of them, then they get up and boom!

    Just calling it out JT...EA have the power to take our server offline etc.
    Maybe if you actually acted as a a proper serveradmin then you'd know about this instead of popping on once a month and taking credit for all the work the rest of us are doing and dissing it.

    Is anyone else here affected by the latest punk buster fault , every time I join a server that uses punk buster for the last few days I get kicked out immediately :( thousands of people are affected online ,
    i just tried to join craggy island and i got kcked before the game even started :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,452 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Try downloading pbsetup from punkbuster site and running it manually...normally fixes these issues
    just download. install and add BF3 and click on update...it will download the latest pb updates

    Yep same here--page doesnt exist--404 error.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,452 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Yeah..it looks like switching it to Rush introduced the 3rd person bug...
    and this also caused the craggy server to reject any more incoming players...
    Had to do a reboot to sort it out...all back to normal now :)

    Here's a notice from the Craggy provider.

    When a player begins the process of joining a server, the server will begin buffering some kinds of information in anticipation of the player completing the loading & joining phase. However, players sometimes get stuck in the loading screen. This makes the server buffer more and more info for that player. A side effect of this is a temporary resource leak in the game server. The leak is immediately restored if the server changes map, or the player completes loading, or the player shuts down the game client. However if a player manages to remain stuck for 30+ minutes in loading on a server with lots of activity and the server doesn’t end the round, then the server could run out of the particular resource – it would then crash.


    This was supposed to be fixed for the R19 revision but nothing is perfect.
    I suggest that if you are taking too long to load, then exit out of BF3 and re-enter. That way, you won't poison our memory allocation.

    Sure in fairness who's going to spend 30 mins waiting for a map to load unless they're complete morons.
    Wait...we have a few Clare and Tipp heads in Craggy don't we? Scratch that then ;)
