Would you like to see an community powered war server for E+ ?
Paranoid delusions. One server can't satisfy everybody. Even 3 servers won't.
Moreover, you have absolutely no rights same as Asphyx to take such a decisions. If you wanna rent server and allow everybody to play on it, feel free, but when you try to rent a server and force everybody to play there - fuck you both. XD
It could have been a good idea if we had no server, but nowadays there are already several servers running for e+.
If you find the money for the rent, then rent a server, name it e+ server or whatever, but it doesn't have to be named OFFICIAL server, and it shouldn't be the only one where people are allowed to play cw (even if 3 or 4 official servers).
I do hate the OFFICIAL thing. And I don't see the point in having an official server where people must play cw. If I don't trust a server I don't play there (but I have no trust issue so it hasn't happened yet). Just because it's named official server doesn't make it trustable btw.
And:
- What about people who have bad ping there due to router/provider? but good ping at, let's say 3m server.
- Everytime I had to play on this so-called official servers we spent time setting it properly. So, considering how official servers are still having wrong settings although the event is almost over, it seems complicated to have one able to run each cfg and well set for all of them, and this depending on the specifications of each event. Or you will need people who cares in charge, wich leads to ->
- Who will manage it? the ones who pay + clan leaders? If yes, well, Good luck with 50 people wanting to give their 2 cents because they gave 1€ and the 30 clan leaders who are allowed to speak since it's official server.
Personally i will keep my money for MR server, but I'm sure there are people who validate this idea.
i guess noone will be needed to be force to play on pure and well ac server.. or maybe true, some will be hiding to play on that server for sure
voted yes
This server can only be intersted for a clanless people or people without clan server.
With the other words you want to rent a server and need a donation support from the rest, but as far as there are 3 servers only on plusN side (Mr, ZMB, c4) - where every plusN clan can easly arrange any game they want (because admins easy allow them) - that idea is useless. What they need to donate for - if they already having places to play? And nowho nohow dictates them any conditions and time when they can play.I was renting a server for 2 years and haven't changed ref password for a single time. Everybody was welcome to join and arrange any games on any configs they want.
clan servers for practice and FWs.
official servers for CWs FWs and practice - always turned on PURE and PB
clan servers are conducive to for cheating and will be protected by cheaters.
official servers with always pb will result in less cry for "PB lag". for what players plays fws without PB and later cry at CW for PB!? start to play all the time with it and stop doind that just get accustomed to it.
official servers without acces to it from third part persons will result in more secure/safety.
only problem will be queue. i guess it can be solved via pickup module what was (or is) at e+ site.
2 max 3 clanwar servers and 1 server for 1v1 will be enought i guess.
how should look queue system?
Clan A and Clan B want CW 4v4 at 19:25
they come before 19:25 to e+ site. click start CW game. invite clanmates. clanmates accept it, game is 90% ready. now all from ref+ team should have special privileges like possibility to accept CW in that module
game is ready, visable near to shoutbox as 19:25 [clan a] vs [clan b] @ server #2 ref: random+
every1 see that some clan have there at that time CW.
or simpler ref+ should made scheme thread about CW in right section and in topic write: 19:25 [clan a] vs [clan b] @ server #2 ref: random+.
after ended CW he should recive from winner clan message what he will copy paste into thread.
edit: minimum one server should be from other hosting / location to eliminate crazy high ping issue.
edit2: for what clan makes own servers? for have place where to practice in most situations. official ranked games should be done only at "certificated servers"
As i said, only €27,- per month = 3 servers times 12 month = €324,-
I dont really think we can gather that money in 1 month ( or we have some secret millionair here ? ) so yea, if there are people who could miss some money for this project, they are welcome to donate, after this poll ends ( 7 day poll )
As for the queueing for CW or 1 V 1, depending on the amount of money we gather the more servers we can setup.
After the TDML 2012 is over take in mind we only have 2 other servers left for CW !
