alphacharlieecho Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) On a quiet night in Sim Country you can hear "DCS RUST". I am tired of hearing crickets singing, where is the community? What is DCS doing about growing the members so we can actually have people to fly with. I tried flying for the first time in over a month and only found one server with TS3 and active users. This is a big deal for me and do not care to play without other users. You have to communicate with other players in this type of game. The only server I found had 2 other people flying and they were in KA-50's. I fly the A-10c and found it impossible to do so cause of the damn Perry off-shore would lock-on as soon as I climbed to 1200 feet after take-off. You needed a SU-25 to take that thing out and I do not have the experience with those. These are the issues that face DCS and no one seems to care because all the veterans (TROLLS) like it the way it is cause they have squads they play with on scheduled times. We need dedicated servers for multilayer, monitored and maintained by DCS. The user servers have missions that are intended to be difficult and challenging for the veteran squads when they fly together. What in the hell kind of chance do the new users who are forced to pug small teams of 2 or 3 who rarely all join voice chat have to enjoy the game as intended. Cry all you want trolls but this is the fact, this is entertainment and not some sort of elitist training camp. We came here to enjoy flying and not to cater to your whims. So, do not tell me to join a squad cause I could care less about your hoops. Only 30 people online now. We can severely discount that number due to the strange numbers of servers that are niche, not to mention the ones that are clearly for people who speak French, Russian, and God knows what those others are. People online after discount! 7 Shall we discount that with the number of servers that ping us out right as we manage to get the inertial navigation system aligned? If it is not one thing it is another, judging by the issues DCS is focused on they only seem concerned with keeping the current members happily fed, not finding and keeping new ones. MORE THAN ANYTHING THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS DEDICATED SERVERS AND MORE MEMBERS!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now this is the part where the veteran trolls turn this into a wine-fest and then the moderator comes in and closes the thread instead of addressing the issues listed that every new player I have spoke with shares. DO NOT PM ME CAUSE I WILL NOT READ THEM!!!! POST YOUR THREATS HERE PUBLICLY SO EVERYONE CAN SEE WHO THE BULLIES ARE! I learned that from my last post and yet I was not intimidated.

ericoh Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I agree we need dedicaed servers, the ping spread is to huge thats why theres allways 100 servers with 2 people on it, instead of 25 servers with like several peopel online.
BeachAV8R Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 So.. You only want to be able to fly the A-10C. You only want to fly it above 1200' because flying it appropriately due to the tactical scenario isn't cool with you. You don't want to play with people that don't speak your language. You want to play in the prime 9AM to 5PM weekday slot when most normal (* IE - English speaking people..since other countries don't count) people are at work. May I suggest... Skyrim or something? You had me at RUST. BeachAV8R 1

ENO Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 It's not your content that's repulsive- it's your delivery. You have your little trantrums every few weeks and act as if the entire simming community should slam to a halt because YOU (and nobody else) feels the way you do. You're not bringing anything new to the table... it's the same buffoonery you were whining about the last time and in the same spoiled tone. I learned that from my last post and yet I was not intimidated. I will admit though, the fact that you were not intimidated during your last trantrum in the forums speaks to your irreproachable courage. You must be an inspiration to be around. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art

alphacharlieecho Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 im not sure you read the post correctly or have the right frame of mind? I think the point is that DCS has been around a very long time and yet the member pool is extremely shallow. In fact I would like to retract the word pool and replace it with puddle. This is what needs to be addressed and correcting the issues new players face would do that. Wouldn't you agree, that keeping new players around would grow the community?
Feuerfalke Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 And what is stopping you from offering your own server + TS3? :music_whistling: MSI X670E Gaming Plus | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 64 GB DDR4 | AMD RX 6900 XT | LG 55" @ 4K | Cougar 1000 W | CreativeX G6 | TIR5 | CH HOTAS (with BU0836X-12 Bit) + Crosswind Pedals | Win11 64 HP | StreamDeck XL | 3x TM MFD

alphacharlieecho Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 Feuerfalke, That really doesnt address the issue now does it. Do you have anything important to add to the conversation before we send you back to the kiddie table? 1
JG14_Smil Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 He is right about the drop in player numbers since the release... there has to be more focus on fixing bugs.
msalama Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 A coupla hints for you: 1) Put up a server 2) Make missions yourself 3) Stop f**king whining The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Supersheep Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 And if there's none that suits you, start your own community. (Hint: I, together with a number of others, am doing that, right now. And it's a heck of a lot work, even though we don't even pretend to be anywhere as knowledgeable or professional as some of the vFGs here are) Supersheep The PVC Pipe Joystick Stand How to thread
BeachAV8R Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Isn't your countenance a shining example of why people DO form private squads and exclude certain individuals? This is a serious question. I wouldn't want to fly with you if your online persona matched your forum one. :shrug: Some people always complain it is raining on them when in fact they are toting around their own rain cloud.

Mustang Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Funny, you keep calling 'trolls' out yet your post is exactly what a troll would post, I understand your frustration but come on be cool! :doh:
71st_Mastiff Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Well with the current state of MP and the ruberbanding going on in the sim, I can sympathizes with ya.. I have a mate in Canada and he just sees me and other ground objects at warp speed all over the ground and sometimes in the air.. we both have over 30gb up and 1.2 gb down cable speeds..

alphacharlieecho Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 put your own server up . . . That dos not address all the issues does it? With all the Ping and everything. No to mention I am not an employee of DCS. The issue is DCS community and what they are doing to grow it... Not what I can do to grow it, everything I do only reflects my intentions and views and are not necessarily those of DCS. I sure you have heard of things like this, so that must mean you are only hear to TROLL.. Anything positive to add?

So you think that DCS maintaining dedicated servers is a good thing then?

Don't you agree?
Zomba Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I don't think the word "Troll" means what you think it means. Go join a squadron, or even set up your own server and attract the hordes. Otherwise this just seems like complaining about things because they don't exactly match your prefered condition. P.S. Relax! I don't test for bugs, but when I do I do it in production.

BeachAV8R Great, form you squads so you do not have to play with dare I say the masses. Now, if you do not have an opinion on the topic then please move along.
71st_Mastiff Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 So you think that DCS maintaining dedicated servers is a good thing then? I hear rumblings that they are working on a dedicated server wish they would say something about it?

ENO Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Isn't your countenance a shining example of why people DO form private squads and exclude certain individuals? This ^ I am SO fricken sick of going through my server logs, looking at people moaning and whining that everything isn't exactly the way they want it... the disrespect, the negativity, the profanity... It is absolutely no wonder to me why people lock up their servers to smaller groups of people they enjoy flying with. Yes, the sim needs work. Yes, attention needs to be paid to multiplayer... Where do you start? Multiplayer is apparently a small part of the overall program and likely will remain so until it is fixed and more reliable. But it won't get the attention it needs until the demand increases... but it won't increase until it gets fixed. So we do the best we can and try to find new and creative ways of exploring the parts of the sim that DO work... Well, at least- SOME of us are doing the best we can. Others just want to point out the obvious and b1tch about how everyone else is doing it wrong. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.
