"Buddy Spike" - DCS World Online Events

[T_A]

Perhaps its time Buddyspike team will think about switching from built in IC to using scripts / software to do anti-cheating, allow bad player reporting from within the game (using chat) etc.

 

for example something as obvious as F-15 firing a AIM54 should be picked up by the monitoring system in a second and player should be automatically kicked (3rd time ban?)

this is pure bullshit. I doneated you guys 20$ because I had hours of fun flying multiplayer with the Oculus Rift BECAUSE I COULD ****ING SPOT TARGETS.

 

Now it's off and you go full retard of possible exploits?!? Oh wait, now I'm angry, let's see how you like some AIM-54 on my Eagle? Stop the server than until IC is in 1.5 if "exploits" is your concern.

 

BUT DON'T KILL MP GAMES FOR VR PLAYERS! :furious:

 

 

 

That is the problem.. You donated and than expect things. It's you're own free will. you can not donate and think you can buy features. Or that they keep things in for you. It will be a mess very quickly. So a handful of people have VR and now you expect them to cater for that? It's nice if VR players can enjoy their hardware. But they should also keep in mind it's not always possible. It's not even fully developed.

 

What i bunch of b*** h*** people in this post.... This game mode is a test. And as you might have figured out, DCS World is not really nice to MP play. So a lot of compromises must be made. If that makes you mad that things are being tested by adding or taking away features than don't play it. Simple as that. Be glad we have actually something now that looks like a dynamic campaign... I'm surprised this actually works to this degree. And a campaign like blue flag is actually what i suggested years ago. :)

Replied also in your post in the Buddyspike website. As explained above our decision is to use the "small" setting even if many guys asked to remove it completely and "threatened" they will not join if it remains to small.

 

We wait to do the change tomorrow if the IC is released.

 

About the donation we are ok to return it if you feel it didn't worth. We don't force people to donate. It's a way to support the operating costs (websites, servers etc) as we don't sell the campaign as DLC or so and don't have any kind of sponsors.

 

It definitely isn't a way to demand things though. If you thought of it like this in the first place sorry but it was wrong. Send me please a pm to take this forward. Thanks

We already monitor the chat and ban players which may use these methods. There wasn't any IC before so we had to follow that way. The thing is that the impostors exploit along with other edits you can do to lua files cannot spotted and reported easily.

Defending sochi is indeed difficult, last time we used a pair of 21' on standby to scramble when radar contacts where spotted, had friendlies drop air defence and EWR units nearby, and had 27' ferry in from the Krasnador area. It was good fun though, give it a go!

 

Someone also mentioned the blue airdefence being over powered, just checked in tac-view and it seems pretty balanced, in fact the RedFor SA-6 sites look ridiculously large compared to everything else. Not quite sure where the perceived disparity comes in from.

[HiJack]

Is it opened to use UniversRadio on the buddyspike teamspeak? (antiflood disabled in one channel)

I've spent almost all my time on the server as a 21 flying out of Sochi with a buddy on GCI. My problem with the 21 is the radar is so temperamental in picking up targets off your nose, and I'm having trouble visually picking them up too

[Kozmyk]

I can only commend BuddySpike for their efforts to give us an enjoyable dynamic DCS MP campaign.

It saddens me to see people throwing their toys out of the pram over some setting or other.

 

People I usually respect boycotted the Case Blue event because it wasn't Exactly to their liking or even because They thought that BuddySpike should have been concentrating their efforts on Blue Flag... they disappointed me doing that. :(

 

I say support BuddySpike by joining in. They've done wonders developing these campaigns. Support them by playing. :thumbup:

Hey Greg, Ciri,

 

just some points I observed:

 

-There is atleast one Mig29 at Maykop which has full fuel when you join in...

-Yesterday the webpage was stuck and didn't display the correct player numbers and players. (I think it happend today too)

-The lag/warp was really bad today. Especially when the server was full. But also when there were 30 people flying the warp was pretty massive.

 

I hope you can somehow fix the lag/warp issue. This really kills the gameplay of figthers for the red side since we do not have actives. :(

 

 

I'll try to spend some more hours in the next days and hopefully can give you some more feedback!

Hey Greg, Ciri,

All of the MiG-29s at Maykop are like that, I'm assuming this one's a feature rather than a bug, but I'm not certain.

[mia389]

Today I shot down a Mig 29 and he was shot down again before I could even get my fuel and take off. He had 6 deaths within an hour lol

This is wrong configuration which will be fixed.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes these MiG-29s slots are a mistake. Will fix asap. As far for the website you probably spotted the downtime during some changes we did. It should be ok now.

 

As there were some changes in the background we monitor any possible lag issues. Will revert to previous versions or tweak to fix them if they occur again.

Excellent. Didn't know whether it was just Su-27/F-15 that had to refuel or all FC3 fighters.

[Badger1-1]

Any plans on changing planesets?

 

Because Blue has Mirage, thats fine, but maybe blue should not have a su25t or ka50...

 

Yes I know, blue wouldnt have an attack helo then or Sead BUT the Mirage is a very capable plane, plus the Hawk is better then the L39 so you could make it easier for blue to use the B1 script and therefor make it up for not having sead or ka50...

 

It will change the way of playing/ strategies used and make the server much more real + appealing.

 

I think its the wrong way if you try to make things even, thats why I dont like the 104th Server since its usually everyone vs. everyone, f15 vsf15 etc.

 

Different Sam sites would also be good, not only SA3s

Yes I totally get that, the Mig-21Bis radar is currently broken, they are hoping for a fix today if the earlier messages were correct.

 

But yes, Sochi is difficult to defend, no doubt about that. Had to do a few helicopter trips over the mountain last time to refuel it and then quickly set-up extra defensive measures. I had good fun defending it though, try and find a little joy in that area or perhaps shift your attention east if you really don't like sochi?

this is pure bullshit. I doneated you guys 20$ because I had hours of fun flying multiplayer with the Oculus Rift BECAUSE I COULD ****ING SPOT TARGETS.

 

Now it's off and you go full retard of possible exploits?!? Oh wait, now I'm angry, let's see how you like some AIM-54 on my Eagle? Stop the server than until IC is in 1.5 if "exploits" is your concern.

 

BUT DON'T KILL MP GAMES FOR VR PLAYERS! :furious:

 

I've also donated 20$ at Mar 12, 16

 

And I would like to not see those BLOBS. What you say on that?

 

ridiculous

Oh another one!

 

I have a vision problems so my right eye has severe myopia, and I can't use VR very well.

 

Don't ruin MP GAMES for PEOPLE with vision problems!!

 

You see how many things you can bring up? They can't indulge everyone...

 

Not to mention that donation is a DONATION, not investment.

It looks like Tiblisi-lochini airbase has some issue when captured by red. Unable to refuel, rearm or repair. Missing units perhaps?

Yes, if it's just captured it will need some time to repair and spawn units to capture it also physical in the sim.

Redfor captured it yesterday, and dropped 3 repair crates on it, but even at 100% it wouldn't repair or rearm us. The two Su-25's which spawn there couldn't get any weapons besides the guns they came loaded with.

Today's patch is a ****ing joke
