If it was zatar then its a known bug.

Vegeta

well that clears it up, cheers fairy

Ponster

Yep. If clicking on the spawn point doesn't work then click around it instead, normally a little higher then then actual spawn point.

'had some good games last night, not many Boardsies which I recognised (Zillah.Rex, ptegan1984).

By eck & by gum I got rusty not playing for a few weeks - got my ass nicely handed back to me in pieces more times than I cared to count

Willymuncher

Great news no one was on earlier, guess I'll check later on.

The server seems to be on Zatar a lot. BTW To spawn on Zatar lads btw for those that dont know click a little to the left of the actual spawn point tha should do it for ya.

BTW I got some weird TK`s last night. A guy was red and I shot him and TK`ed. The text dialogue at the top dident even say it was a TK only my - score told me. It happaned again a little later also and I made sure this time and the guy was red for sure, not like some red guy was standing close to him cause I ran around him in all directions to check.

Still had some great games on the server last night and i hardly got disconnected by IBB at all.

ruined a few rounds for me last night, felt sorry for a guy called callan on my team cos he killed me at least 4 times, he went from being like third on the team to last. annoyin thing was that we were spawning at the same point trying to capture the nearest american flag and he kept doin it over and over. I think he got the msg when i asked for him to be kicked and then he looked at my uniform and explained it was the red blue thing, I cant blame him for that cos i have done similar things in the past myself.

On a later round in karkand, i killed one of my team mates a good few times as i was playing sniper and just saw this red tagged guy running after a guy in blue so i'd take a crack at him. Oh the anger when you pull off a great shot only to be given negative points

TheHairyFairy

Right from what I have read this red/blue bug is down to autobalance. Now I can run the server without it but the admins will need to keep an eye on teams to make sure they are even etc.

People tend to swap at the end of a round if they are being beaten, I tend to ignore this as they are tards.

See if its a problem over the weekend with auto balance switched off.

Fairy

Ponster

Hmm, the problem with autobalance off is that it's up to an admin to get people to switch to the other side and 5 minutes later it could be just as imbalanced as before...

If the person with the red/blue bug leaves the server and rejoins then it tends to correct itself.

Wavey

I'de say most of the heads on the tig-boards server will have the sense to switch teams in the interest of fair play.

So I doubt the lack of Auto balance will be a problem.

Kill it Fairy. Kill that Auto Balance 'till it dies from it.

spooky donkey

I thought that while the numbers on the teams were balanced last night the teams were not almost every round I played in was like 1XX - 0 bar the last round on Karkand where it was like 3-0. The server filled up also when it got to the city maps. Think we need more city maps.

Here Here!

I propose alternate Urban Only/ Flying (****e) Map shifts.

As I prefer Urban maps I would like to suggest that the the server run Urban Maps from 3pm to 3am daily and the rest of the time is Flying (****e) Maps.

I think I'm getting fed up of Karkand, Sharqi and Mashtuur. I'd almost look forward to the hateful mess that is Kubra Dam.

spooky donkey

Yeah Kubra dam is OK, i just dont like maps where ya spawn on an aircraft carrier takes ages for those maps to kick off. Zetar wetlads is not a great map but at least ya can walk to the next flag with out getting picked off by air craft.

Scruff

is it just my set up or does it seem to get awful laggy on the [SIZE=-1]Daqing [/SIZE]Oilfields map?
2 evenings in a row erverything was going grand till that map.

yeah i think the main problem with those maps is that it is way too hard to survive unless you're in a vehicle and as everyone knows this vehicles can be hard to come by.

I usually end up waitin for any type of a vehicle to spawn and get killed by tank or air craft . If there are no vehicles i might go it on foot but usually get killed by a tank or aircraft or arty strike on a spawn point, which is a personal favourite of mine.

Nothing warms my heart more than spawning at a flag only to be killed within 2 seconds. I know some people say well if you were smart you'd be able to survive but lets face it, there are a few spawn points on each flag and if you get lobbed in at the wrong one there is nothin none of us can do. I suppose its part of the game so i should learn to live with it and quit my bitchin

SeantheMan

Think AUTOBALANCE needs to be on.
Otherwise you get the people switchin to the winning team at the end :mad:

Also, the other night , thursday i think, a few of us were playing on wake island i think, when it was over it changed to Zatar Wetlands, at which stage everyone except myself and someone else got disconnected.
Dunno why, there was 25 people and next of all there was 2, very strange.:eek:

I'd generally hop in a jeep and go steal an enemy vehicle or capture a remote flag.

Gone West

how about removing some of the shittier maps from the rotation?
Scrapping daqing oilfields and zatar/ Songhua Stalemate mabye?

AnCapaillMor

Songhua's good any map that does'nt have attack heli's or planes are great maps.

SeantheMan

Is there a Teamspeak or Ventrillo that we can all use ??
Anyone know ?:eek:

Itd probably be a bit of a laugh

Id say there probably is already, and if so, then sorry

Gone West

yep.
