Only ONE problem with POE2

[Sanman62]

There aren't enough servers and players. That's it, thank you to the POE team for all your effort in making a great MOD.

POE2 has resparked my love for this game. I was starting to get very tierd of BF2, I love the concept of jumping from Infantry to tanks to planes. I only wish there were more players, I can find a server with around 32 players and in my ping rate but not many.

I live in Bermuda were the telecommunications industry is pretty crappy, we are so far from the main HUB in New York that the best ping I usually get is 125! Yes, that is painful! So, I can't play on most of the server out there.

Thanks again POE TEAM!

Re: Only ONE problem with POE2

only one problem?! ha!
yesterday before I uninstalled it there were 140+ servers that I could find on a general search on the second day of release - that's huge!
give it a month and there will be only 40, half completely empty

Re: Only ONE problem with POE2

I counted 400 servers
Ours saw activity, but it's empty now... the fact that this many servers are up and running for one Mod is a testament as to how the mod has been recieved by the community.

Peace,
Tim

I'm in Idaho, and the best I get to Seattle is 140ms. I still manage to get top 3 as a sniper pretty consistantly, but its WORK. I have never played a single game under 100ms.

Do NOT EVER get qwest DSL !!!

"Only one problem with where I live/my telecommunications company"

Don't blame POE for the fact you live out in the boonies and have crappy internet.

People have been dying for a large MOD to drop, and POE has done it. A lot of people have opened up servers, so they arent going to be full for the most part.

The server numbers will level off, and the people who really love the mod will find there permanent POE2 homes. Thats when the battles and fighting will intensify even further.

I had a blast playing ti last night, and it actually temped me to play a few rounds of Karkand. Its been a while, lol.

Re: Only ONE problem with POE2

I personally don't think its good enough to last
Desert Combat 2 would do well to rethink its approach if it finds itself doing the exact same game with desert skins - people want a better BF2 nothing else. PoE delivers recoil based guns, player controlled artillery but little else of note.

it and any other major mod needs:
- teamwork dynamics....like having all combat vehicles (tanks, all jets, attack helicopters) require a pilot and gunner.
- recoil based accurate guns which kill in ~4 shots
- maps with a CQB heart surrounded by lanscape/highways for vehicles to duke it out
- removal of autolockon in favour of the unrealistic but awesome TVGM
- the adjustment of BF2 flaws like indestructable claymores, spawn killing and infantry movement
/end rant
:P

Re: Only ONE problem with POE2

-tank gunners now have a more effective role. APC drivers cannot fire the weapon. Attack helicopter gunners have more options than the standard cannon+TV combo

-I don't know the specifics, but I can bet there are 4 shot kill guns in POE

-Many of PoEs maps contain a large area with small villages and towns in the middle.

-Non-lock AA has been implemented in POE

-Spawn killing has be subsided with the Dome of Death. On regular bases its a player issue. Same with infantry movement.

You can't get much more boonie than the middle of an ocean.

Actually I pay for both of my internet connections.

Have fun with the padding whores on vanilla then, cya
I know what I'll be playing.

Oh, you neglect to factor in that in about a months time we will have a new version on the way with new maps/sounds/weapons/vehicles/etc.

Can you say the same for the BF2 patches?

I hope the POE2 team does release a new version, i hope they balance out some of the things, liek armor and the massive overly equiped fire power of the helos, among other things.
