And a few minutes later its already at 30.

I think the ticket count should be increased slightly. The number of people that are lost between rounds is part of the issue with maintaining player count on the alpha server. Pretty evident when looking at the Bravo server being able to maintain a large player count for an extended time.

I would say 167% is a good number. Gives 500 ticket rounds which should last 20-25 minutes. May have to change that number for B2K.

Had to quit for lunch, I'll be back in a few minutes.

Good to see the server full, now we just need more gaffers in it! also have them join mumble(even if you can't talk)

Yes EOReality servers crashed.

They didn't crash, in fact I submitted a ticked to them, and they said they saw it happen and other RSPs had it happen to them, it appeared to be a hiccup on Dices end, like their server manager server crashed or dropped everyone.

So I just went to go and connect to Mumble, and all I see is "Root" and I'm the only one connected to it. The message is "Welcome message: Welcome! This server powered by eoreality.net".

What am I doing wrong?

Check that you have the correct mumble info. May be connecting to another server

I got it all recorded, too.
 
Keep meaning to swing by more, but one of the rl friends I'm generally in a party with keeps getting disconnected from the GAF servers more than others.

I hate his new computer.

I will need to see that. I mean, how many people were playing, that other team couldn't get 4 kills? That just doesn't seem right...

It wasn't many, by the end of it it was like 4v2.

All of it? Some horribly embarassing moments for me there. Was it Fodder who tricked me into trying to switch teams at the end, and stole one of our last precious tickets? :D
Going from 4-260 to 1-0 was pretty effin' epic, however.
It was a lot of fun running around hiding from helicopters. I went to recapture a flag at one point and almost got picked off by someone hiding in a building but jumped on em and killed them.

I have the recording from when we had 4 tickets left, but there's no audio. I'll find an "appropriate" backing track and upload it.

Speaking of, how many other people record in here? Maybe I (or someone else) could start a BF3 GAF youtube channel that we all know the password to that we could upload our fun/amazing battlefield moments to. Me and Scogoth had a pretty good one where I got shot down in my jet and parachuted into his helicopter.

Not that many players, but still impressive. I am sure your blood was pumping and the adrenaline flowing at the end of that match lol. I would have given a big "Fuck yeah" with a win like that Lol.

Yeah, I was typing/yelling IRL "AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING" right when the match ended.

So, why did they increase the range on the SOFLAM? Now everything is perma painted which means that its almost impossible to deal with Javelins.

One step forward, seven steps back. Cheers Dice.
 
Ok Anton, just PM'd you my info. Just got unbanned, sorry for the delay.

shit son i thought that daughter business was the perma for you, lol.

get in the new mumble and see if you can fix the rights for admins, and exclusive rights to the admin channel that we might use sometimes lol

Because they did something to encourage teamwork for ONCE. They should increase the range of javelin to match.

Don't like it? Use ECM jammer.


Alright, here it is: NeoGAF Battlefield Moments: 270 Ticket Comeback

It's not the most thrilling thing to watch, so I sped it up (also fits the music better that way). A few tense moments, but mostly waiting around and running.

1) The game should run at that speed. It would be awesome.
2) The game shouldn't let you spawn when there's one ticket and keep it going until the winning team caps the majority of points. It would make for many more epic endings.

Why can I not find the server, the only one I find has 0/4 slots available for play which doesn't seem right.

We have an adaptive max player size to help get the server to 64 players. The "quick match" button only places players in servers which are ranked and more than half full. So our server will go from 2/4 to 4/8 to 8/16 and so on so that we can get quick joins without having 32 people.

But its sunday night so our server (and many others) are empty. Wait till tuesday and it will be full with B2K players.

Heres the links so you can favourite them.

god i hate going into friendly fire rooms. Half my deaths are by my squad members killing me when i spawn on them thinking i'm an enemy

Raging so hard
 
GAF server is down. Cant connect to the mumble layer either. The HC server is still up.

I'll check EO Reality and reboot.

EDIT: Done. For some reason, the server was Stopped. Anyone do this for a reason? EOR did an R12 push at 3AM, not sure if that's related.

Also rebooted Mumble.

Doesn't look like anyone updated the map list for B2K. My day is getting started, but I'll try to take care of that soon, just need to find R12 documentation so I know the map names.

Suddenly I don't feel so bad about being stuck at work for a few more hours.

I'm kind of annoyed that I had stuff to do earlier, and that I couldn't play for the five minutes it was actually up.

People that can't get into Origin: Is it telling you that your password is incorrect? That's what it's doing to me.

Can't log in to TCAdmin over at EOReality, looks like EOReality is either down or EA shut them down or something?

Goddamn it we had a full server and we were doing good for 3 rounds!

Yea, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed killing the one guy who told me to STFU over discussing maps though... :D
