Night Fights European Test
ATTN Euros.
We will probably be hosting a Night Fights test round on :e0:'s server Monday at 3:00 PM EST. That will be 8:00-9:00PM for most of you Brits and some other Euros. Ping is a consideration, but basically I want to see if play is feasible from that great of a distance. So basically, we're just going to test things out. I'd like as full of a match as possible. Monday at 3:00 PM EST (That's GMT-5) - make it to :e0:'s server and let's play a few rounds of FF. If the ping is unbearable we'll have to find another server on the US East Coast or somewhere in Europe. As a backup plan, if you do have a server on the east coast or Europe and you would be willing to dedicate 2 hours a day, weekdays, to Night Fights, please PM me. The conditions for Night Fights being hosted on your site are as follows: -Current Night Fights map schedule must be run -Night Fights staff (myself and whoever I and the server operator agree on) must have basic admin - mapchange, kick, etc. -Ability to have staff present during the playtime - even if it's only one guy, it helps. -If possible, a closed server available to pull aside players and teach them things if they wish to know it. -During Night Fights: Friendly Fire Off, No Class Limits, 30 minute Rounds, and again, our official map schedule. That's the lot of it. Tell your Fortress Forever playing friends and we'll have a test going. |

pls.. some european server... im from Finland and i have ~170 ping on :e0 server
|
but this is the other e0 server in Michigan I believe
|
Michigan.. Still not in europe.
I know there is few european servers (~30-40 ping) I'll check some eu clans tomorrow on qnet and talk to them about this.. |

Talk with HoL, they might be interested..Either Mie, thiz, Cobra or Armchair..those guys can get it crackin..they're waiting for some FF action over there..not sure, but i think this might be something they would be interested in doing. Talk with them to be sure.. |
We have 2 euro servers atm(uk located with good pings for eruros), i can share one of them with rcon or sm_admin acess.
Add me to steamfriends if interested |

No offense to the guys at =AS=, but clans I know get first dibs on this. If :e0:'s server really is a terrible bust (this is why this is a test), then I'll start scouting European servers. |
I'd go with the offer from the =AS= guys, purely to make your life easier Ihmhi :)
As soon as anyone from North America connects, there will be whining about ping. Reality is no deterent to those who wish to whine :D Personally, I don't care... been playing on the :e0: server recently and it's always been ok ping-wise to me. I'll be there, time permitting. |
I won't be able to make it on monday unfortunately.. at least not that early (personal business, the timeslot as such is fine!). I'd go with AS's server as well, i get fairly good pings from germany. While the lag isn't very noticeable, playing on US servers tends to delay rpg fire and such..
maybe we should find a server somewhere in iceland or greenland or so? ;) Aaaanyway: Great to see this happening. Will spread the date and time. |

That's why we're having a test run. If it's really as bad as some of you say it is, I'll arrange a test with the =AS= server. |
Ihmhi,
Just dropped you a PM - I have a server that is rarely used. Completely unbranded and just sitting needing players. Happy to donate the server full time - can arrange all the details via email/pm. Cheers, Matt |
Yeah so I completely spaced on this. Completely my bad, I was absorbed in work.
Did anyone actually show up? How did it play? |
I turned up for a bit at both 8pm and 9pm (hate timezones!). Saw no-one after 10-15 mins both times :(
|
How were the pings?
|
In US servers, mine is always between 160-200. (Not that it matters that much, in Euro servers it's always between 80-140 anyways >_>)
|
Pings were in the range of 140-170 for me.
|
yeah...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you should be using an EU server for this...
|
Couldn't make it either unfortunately.. didn't get home until about 2 am. Will keep an eye on this thread though, it'd be great to have regular Euro fights to get things rolling again over here..!
|
Well, okay then. I'll be arranging another test with someone in Europe.
