Re: DCON Ranked servers!
well when you say soon.. its not going to be soon enough I'm afraid.
I'm liking the current build the testers have. I have HUGE issues with lag on the Alpha, but none what-so-ever on the current patch build. Let's hope it'll be ready soon. I want to kill all of you. :laugh:well when you say soon.. its not going to be soon enough I'm afraid.

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
Yea I can't wait for the public release, I am on the phase 2 beta test team and I like what I see
No sense in rushing it, if the new version is released before its ready then people won't play it anyway because it will still be full of bugs.
One of the biggest problems is the players rush the developers or mod teams to release before it is ready and then they either complain or they stop playing all together so in my opinion it would be better to cut them some slack and be patient so that they can get the bugs worked out prior to the release.
When all is said and done the diehard fans will still be here and the complainers will have hopefully moved on.Comment

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
I'm actually a lot more excited about this patch than I was about the initial release. Not going to be soon enough? Well we'll see shall we :) . If it isn't soon enough then that's simply because the community are unwilling to give it another try. And if that's the case then it wouldn't have made a difference when we released this patch. It's quite sad that some 'fans' seem to have given up on the mod when the mod certainly hasn't given up on them. All we can do is just hope they'll be kind enough to give the mod another go and see that we're making strong progress in the right direction.
With the mix of bug fixes, new maps, code tweaks and other things that may be in the patch, pilots will love it, tankers will love it, infantry players will love it and those who currently can't play due to lag will love it. I'm quite confident that player numbers will rise once again with this patch.

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
no sense in rushing it????? LOL its been almost 5 months!!!!
The competition leagues have already kissed this mod goodbye, at least I know CAL has. They just gave up waiting and started the tourney which is almost over.
Its now or never boys.. if there is still something found wrong then patch it again a week later!!! It has nothing to do with what I or anyone else that played that MOD says and I mean "PLAYED" cause I hardly play it anymore, but has all to do with the survival of the MOD that the DEV's put into it. I hate to see all that time and resources wasted but each day that goes by you lose another player.
do or die boys....
the mod was great when it was first released..only a few minor things needed to be fixed, adding new content wasn't even a issue as we loved what was already there just wanted to play it lag free with out glitches which is the only thing that needed to be fixed and within a few weeks of the first release.With the mix of bug fixes, new maps, code tweaks and other things that may be in the patch, pilots will love it, tankers will love it, infantry players will love it and those who currently can't play due to lag will love it.

Waiting this long which is now almost 5 months to fix things but adding stuff in we didn't need is killing it.Comment

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
And if those 'few minor things' are humanly impossible to fix within a few weeks, the rest of the devs who cannot help out in fixing the issues should just sit around twiddling there thumbs, rather than work on balancing, new tweaks, new maps etc. right? After all, there are some devs who can do nothing to fix the lag issues so it would be totally ridiculous for them to work on other stuff for the time being wouldn't it. They should just sit and do nothing, then wait for the patch to be released and only then start to work on new content. Because that way the mod would only waste time, slowing down development and make the community extremely pleased that they have to wait twice as long for the same amount of stuff......
Please don't take my sarcasm in the wrong way sava700 as it's not aimed at you in particular. Sarcasm is just a easy way of getting my point accross. If people have no idea what the issues are why do they assume they know exactly how long it takes to fix them?
Think of it like this. If your car broke down on the way to work, you wouldn't want me saying "Come on it's been 5 minutes and you still haven't fixed it. You need to get a move on otherwise your going to be late for work". Why wouldn't I say that? A) I don't know what the issue with your car is and therefore I don't know how long it will take to fix it. B) I'm sure you are perfectly aware that you may be late for work if you don't fix your car, and therefore I would be doing nothing else but stating the blindingly obvious, which does nothing but annoy you and waste your time.
Why is it that people are assuming we've been holding back this release just for the sake of new content, despite every member of the DCon team constantly telling them that this is definitely not the case. You've been told that lag issues are all but gone which should give you a pretty good idea of how soon you'll be seeing a patch...Comment

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
You don't need to convince me... otherwise I wouldn't have a Dcon server up and running right now if I felt it was dead..i'm just telling you what the rest of the community is doing and thinking. Its very easy to see and read about all that on other forums and such.
But as you can see just from what you said here:
means everything in the world to hard core players of this MOD and the competition side of the community. If your constantly telling people over the last 5 months then you saying each time "you'll be seeing a patch..." doesn't mean nothing till the money is in the bank.Why is it that people are assuming we've been holding back this release just for the sake of new content, despite every member of the DCon team constantly telling them that this is definitely not the case.

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
It will be done when the lag issues are completely fixed...not a minute sooner, not a minute later....
That is really all that needs to be said on the subject.

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
I'm waiting..but seein as how POE2 is re-releasing the whole MOD AGAIN before DCON can even release one patch...I'm prob moving on and pushing all our assests to it than sticking around another few weeks/months for a patch that should have been released months ago.. sorry guys! :cry:Comment

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
DCON is still the only reason I have BF2 installed. I am excited about this next release.
But I am still a sad panda.
This patch schedule is extremely unfortunate. There is no long-term hope for a nice list of populated dcon servers if this "patch" timing is any indication. toooo slooowwwww
It has become painfully clear that there are just not enough devs on the dcon team. It's clear that they have a few bright and productive people working, but it is also clear how little content-per-time they can put out relative to PR mod and POE mod.
Are you still trying to recruit talent? Get some of the USI team to join forces!Comment

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
Howdy Fellow DCON Fans!
I wanted to take a minute and stop by to pimp the DCON stats system to you folks. While I am not personally involved in the managing or maintaining the stats system, I do have both of our DCON servers streaming player stats and I would like to encourage all DCON server operators to signup and get your servers listed also.
Unlike server side stats, this system is able to receive player stats from any server that is listed on the network and while I see approximately 84 or 85 servers hosting the mod there are only 7- servers currently listed so I would like to again encourage you guys to get your servers listed so that this can truly be a close as possible to a global stats for all DCON players.
Below you will find a link to where you can check to see which servers are currently participating as well as a link to where you can check your player stats if you game on any of the servers listed. So again at the risk of overly repeating myself, if your server is not listed please apply to get it listed as this is a nice feature that will not only help grow player interest in the mod, it will also help attract stat based players to the servers that are participating.
As I mentioned, we currently have 2- servers listed at IP 69.65.45.212 & 69.65.45.213, so I would like to invite fans of this mod to stop by and check out either our servers or any of the others that are listed. If you have any questions or if you would like to get your server listed please visit one of the links below.
Before I finish, I wanted to thank MasterX for all the time and hard work he has invested in this project.

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
Comparing dcon to POE2, why?
Very different games, very. POE2 has been less than a smash anyways. I like the mod myself, but it wa nowhere near the revolution it was supposed to be when it was released. For a time, it had more devs than players it seemed.
Play what you want, and stop telling the devs what to do. USI should not join up with dcon. dcon should do what they have been doing, and pay next to no attention to the crap I read on a daily basis.
Just listen to your fans, give them what they are looking for, in the time your able to do it.
I think Sava just enjoys mentioning 20 times a day that dcon moves too slow, and that he is only going to be be friends with the POE2 team. Only the pubbers make this into a competition, I never see it from the devs. Thats kind of ironic, isnt it?Comment

Re: DCON Ranked servers!
Wow.. responding a post I put up over 7 days ago...
I never said I didn't like DCON, I really enjoyed playing it. I like playing POE also and I look forward to tomorrows Client release. But like I said in the last post.. "I'm Waiting" I'm waiting on the next patch to see how much was put into it..was it worth the wait? I hope so. Overall I've taken down my teams DCON server for the reason that its just not that played anymore..not so much as by me but the majority of the players I hang around mostly in the competition community. I felt like it was a chore to even fool with the DCON stat system after I had to argue about "certain requirements" which were soon lifted in order to stream..so I said the hell with it.
I feel like you HaVOCK-ElEEt only enjoy posting behind me to protect something that doesn't need protection from me or anyone else. Again, DCON is a great MOD and hats off to the guys that made it..but I've moved our assets on to something else as I was going to do anyway when Crysis came out.
If you wish to respond to people saying way more than I ever did here ya go.
Scroll on down and read through that whole thread.. its very good reading on both ends..but this post linked below says it best.
