Name Tag Distance Change?

[Gumbo]

Could we please have the name tag distance on the game.net servers changed to at least 50 and 300 with scope, preferably more like 100 and 300 with scope.

This'll bring them more into line with what is seen as a standard set up for servers used for most leagues and stuff. Clanbase for instance is 50/300 and the recent bfcup was largely played at 100/300.

It's not so much for friend/foe id, as a glance at the map can do that, but for seeing which friend the friend you're looking at is.

Also, I'm guessing that the 20 player limit on the preview server is a mere slip of the finger, and it should be a 32 man one.

We are trying to showcase good servers aren't we?

If the demand for the Tag distance is there then we will certainly look at changing it, if only 4 or 5 out of the 60+ people that use the server on a regular basis want it changed then we have look at both sides of it and possibly cater for the majority.

The player limit will be looked at and hopefully increased

How are you gonna find out the demand then?

Change the values to whats most common - ie whatever that Gumbo person said.

Post haste!

/me raises hand in favour of Gumbo's proposals

Been mutterin to myself about this for a while - PLZ change ASAP :\

 

[Anasyn]

yes, Change please, although I'm happy with 20 players (56k and all that)

also: *prods adams slightly menacingly with a pitchfork*
They made me do it! *points to Flamin Squirrel and Gumbo*

Even tho I don't play BF, I think this would be a good change, because Gumbo told me to say so.


Right. Where's that fiver?

 

[eXhumed]

Yup...agreed here. I vote for changing :-O

eX

 

[toneh]

20 players is immaterial though, they normally empty anyway.

Make them 128 player servers! you'll get ppl joining out of curosity (+spelling)

l8rs

 

[grim_evil]

yeah please change it as the man Gumbo asked, thanks. It would help greatly

Wish my threads were this popular.

 

[toneh]

Post summat then, and ask ppl in IRC to comment!

oops gave the game away!

*cough*

Hello, my name is Guy Icognito...I wholeheartedly endorse this event or product.

 

[toneh]

Seriously though,

128 player server!!!!!!!!!!!!"££$£*$££$**£*("))"__"_£

and proper viewing distance FFS


But u can ditch it all, for a ofp2 server (when it comes out).

 

[Gumbo]

OK, so maybe mentioning the uninspiring response i got from the liasion for my suggestion in irc might not have been a good move....

However, out of 61 uk servers running 1.45 at the moment only one has a scoped tag distance as low as 100. The Game.net preview server.

It's not that bad to admit one ickle server setting is a bit out you know. No-one's going to think any less of you.

 

[adams901]

uninspiring indeed, hrrrrmph
