Patch yes. Today.
Norua doesnt beleive in midterms or sc2. Belive in bf3
Yes unfotunately it's always empty except Monday nights
Scogoth & Splint :
I'm alive! But my internet isn't. Well, my router isn't to be precise. I sent you guys messages on Battlelog last monday from a friend's house, but once again Battlelog chat is failling us (or trolling us).
Everything should be fixed in a few days (hopefully tomorrow, if not, then this week-end). Will you two be on this week-end or are you going away? I demend maple syrup for my return.
PS: By the way Splint, the four TML losses? I couldn't watch the games. I told you i'm the lucky charm.

Spl1nter's source of unholy power is waning! Now's my chance!
I will maybe possibly be on kind of.
You will? Are you bring your comp back? Or are you stealing mine
its back with me.
Turns out the input lag on my old TV was extremely high, and it made the gunplay in BF3 feel a lot looser than it actually is. The only bad news is that I found this out by playing on an old CRT monitor that I temporarily plugged in, and have no desire to continue using.
Conundrums. I has them.

Lowered the vehicle respawn time on the server, in case anyone wants to practice flying this weekend.
Make sure it's plugged in before the game is launched and install the drivers for logitechs site or the drive cd. I have the same one and works perfectly with the game.
Actually it looks like you can't have a 360 controller and a joystick in at once. So now it is detected but I don't have any key bindings. Thanks!
btw...you got any key bind suggestions? I am new to the stick and lost on what to do lol
like, i can't even get off the ground. I'm trying to set pitch up/down whatever with the stick but it seems like there's only like Axis 1 Y and Axis 1 X. Like I said I don't know what it means
trying to find outi think I'm figuring this out, feels good. only thing that bothers me is when I turn on afterburner the communications menu opens up...I unbinded all joystick keys for on foot and in vehicle and unbinded all keyboard keys from jets. not sure what the deal is...
alright i have it more or less figured out, just need practice. although it feels pointless cause everyone can home in on me and has better equipment already
I'm just pissed because it seems everyone doing kb/m can fly much tighter and with more control than I can with a joystick.
I'm doing much better now. But I'm starting to think KB/M is better for Helis, I keep embarrassing myself flying Helis because it's a little different.
I still need to figure out how to be more efficient with turns
pull back and throttle down to turn heli tight

We doin this thing?
Half of BF3PCGAF is ignoring us and playing Starcraft 2. I won't name which half.
The top half. The great white northern half.
Sorry forgot be on at 10
I think its only chapel and he's gone mia. We don't really use the clans at all because about 95% of the people who signed up for them in the first week never played more than 2 hours.
Best way to play with gaffers and is get on mumble and play with us on Monday nights at 9PM EST. Also add myself, Spl1nters, Norua, Anton_Sugar or BulletSmurf.
Yeah, it's probably time for a new first page banner that says "Come play with us Monday nights at 9 EST" instead of the one we have now that makes it seem like anyone is ever on the server, or that we have clans full of dudes playing round the clock.
Hell, we might as well donate the rest of the server donations to Child's Play, and salvage a little bit of dignity
Why do you think that is?
Is that a reflection on the game or is it common here on GAF?
Common thing on GAF
Tried that. Takes a good 20 to get a bf3 going. Theres a core group of us that play 5-6 days a week but it's only enough for a squad or 2.
The game launched with show stopping bugs. We'd get the server full and then it would hard crash. We'd fill it back up, and then it'd hard crash again. Even if the server wasn't crashing, the game would crash on people, or they'd get disconnected from EA (which still happens). Basically it launched half baked, and I honestly think it kneecapped any potential community that might have formed around the game. People that donated thirty, forty, even fifty dollars to the server fund were never seen in game past maybe the first week. All pre-release excitement pretty much evaporated, and we were left with basically the people Scogoth mentioned, and a few others that are seen from time to time. We usually get at least a couple of squads going on Mondays though, so it's not as if the community is dead, but...well, any hopes of filling our own server are pretty much buried.
Didn't his brother used to play with us as well? It's like the entire Chapel family got disconnected from the internet.
Well, if it helps at all, I'm coming back to the game next week once I get new PC equipment in. I could never play in any games more than 32 players without frustrating lag (and most of the time, I couldn't play in 32 player games without a good deal of lag either). Still, I think I did pretty well for myself despite being at a severe handicap. Now that I'm getting a brand new quad core and some faster RAM, I should be able to play the game reliably on pings greater than 15ms and in Conquest Large to boot!
Finally gonna get some shit killed!
Finally gonna get some shit killed!
Yeah, I remember the frustration from the server crashes, but was it enough to abandon the game so soon?
I find it incredible that people spent so much on their computer, on the game, and even donated $ to not play it after a week.

Just got home myself--working on a project every night this week, sorry guys. Will definitely be back next Monday.
I dunno about community night, but maybe if the server was set to more that 4 players it would show up on more lists and people would play it more? I dunno. I know it expands once you get more players, I was on the other night with about 5 randoms. The first two seemed to just be killing each other for points, but we showed up and ruined their fun.
We tried that too, didn't work at all.
Yeah, pretty much this.
The only way to get a server full is to have maybe 20 people on it to start, and then wait for quick joiners to fill in the rest. Having it set to a low number, or the full 64, really makes no difference, as long as there isn't enough people to seed it.
