Bane Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey Guys! I'm in California USA, so that would be Pacific Time. I usually find most of you playing on sundays. Saturdays is good for me too. Getting regular teams together sounds great! As far as lag is concerned, I DO tend to experience it more when there are large numbers of humans playing, so my performance in game sucks! Usually I can manage to creep around and blow up a few jammers, but head-to-head, I'm usually at your mercy. (oh well, I'm good practice for you anyway!) ONE DAY, I will have my Broadband connection back, and when that day comes, I will be on the walls of DT fame! See ya on the Battle Field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Very, very good games again tonight. We needed a sniper nanny for Chaos who went mountain hopping on Raid. You don't see the sniper but you hear the distinct sound. This was my first game on Raid since the demo I think and its still a good map. A bit harder for the attackers now methinks. Recon in force was the usual carnage on the plains. The Ariels totally rule this terrain. I think they are a bit too good in every aspect. The next version will see fewer and slightly (!) slower, less armored and lower rate of fire for those. We (Nexus,Jung,me) defended very well and the attackers (jby,bane) lost heaps of material. I wish we had more statistics on that. Still, jby managed to slip into our base and turret bombed. An AT grenade finished him just in time to get our points back. House to house was very close all the time but I think jby again managed a last minute take over and we lost the match. Btw, where is Delta Pavonis? Haven't seen it for two days. Edit: CZ crashed 10 minutes after we left - good timing [ April 01, 2007, 03:14 PM: Message edited by: poesel71 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junglist Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well, I don't know about where you guys might be living, but the weather here in Toronto has been fabulous the last few days. I've been outside working in the garden most of the weekend and, honestly, the beer has been going down like water. Anyway, I digress, what I'm trying to say is I hope you've all been busy doing whatever needs doing around the house and are ready for battle this afternoon/evening. Despite the beauty weather outside I'm spoiling for a good battle, so hope to see you there. Oh yeah, if I should happen to lose later I blame the beer....gotta love a built in excuse before the games have even begun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junglist Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 If by meet up you mean go to a pub, I'd be up for it. When are you in town aittam? I do spend about a month each summer in Newfoundland, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcon-5 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 What an Idea! The first Dropteam convention (and Drink-a-thon)! I do it here in California but I think Bane and IG are both south of the Grapevine. It would take them two days just to get out of LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilibird Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Alrighty, I'm finally reinstalling Drop Team, and updating again. So is anyone up for a round or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Some very intense battles today. Heres just the last one: Jung & Redcon vs Chaos & me. Scenario: TwinPeaks We lost the first run against a very broad, map wide defense. We never got anywhere. This time we tried to go after the AA first and then take the hill. Chaos set up ions to kill dropships while I faked attacks from the south. My part worked out rather mediocre and I missed what Chaos did meanwhile. I finally gave up and switched to a Thor-MC which killed three Bacchus in a row. By then AA was nearly down on the hill and I dropped rifleman on it. Now it became very intense with lots of inf action. I think the enemy had run out of dropships at this time so all sorts of vehicles came creeping from the east. Mucho AT grenade throwing and even the frag grenade was put to good use. Chaos always managed to show up with a Thor at the right time so we held the hill and won the thing in the last minute. I only wish I had a video of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonan Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 It's insane (and rather annoying,) but the bots can finally shoot me down! Most of the time! They'll generally deploy a couple ions which they fire with extreme accuracy, generally killing my Viper rather fast. I also tried picking up a Thor- no luck! It simply blasts a HEAT and kills me! I died three times on New Yosemite- none of them at the hands of AA! And by the way, welcome to the game, Ender and Yutli. (Sorry if I misspelled the latter.)

Imperial Grunt Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Yep, great battles. For some reason I never recorded anything. Next time I will. I took out one of RedCon's squads with a frag grenade as well. Very effective weapon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcon-5 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 You know that fight on Twin peaks was so intense (thankfully the sever held) I don't think any recording would have made sense. A lot of good infantry fights today. Thanks for game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 That was a good time yesterday. All in all things were fairly even, and I guess I should be happy with how the games unfolded. Unfortunately the whole experienced was marred for me by the final minutes on Twin Peaks. Chaos/Grunt managed to get a Thor onto the objective and thereby reverse Water's earlier dismal performance on the same map and even up the day's total to two victories per side. I prefer to win. Oh yeah, next time I want to attack...did I happen to mention that? One thing I think should be noted about yesterday's games, for whatever reason (ping I imagine-but I don't think I have the worse connection by any means) it was taking me a long time to join the games and I often missed the entire deployment phase, which is fairly essential when defending. Is anyone else taking a really long time to join Creature Zoo? If so would it be possible to add a tiny bit more time to the deployment phase?

ClaytoniousRex Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Why the long load times, Jung? Do you have the DDS textures installed? How long are your load times in single player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yeah, I've installed the DDS textures. The long load time only seems to be a real issue on Creature Zoo for me. I haven't played single player in so long I couldn't tell you if it takes me a long time to load or not. I am using a machine which is just barely acceptable according to the game specs.

Chilibird Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Couple of good rounds tonight. Got a bit of a thunderstorm going here, unfortunately, so I had to disconnect. Much fun, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Jung, it may take longer because there are no DDS files for the textures I made. I actually do not know how to make those on a Mac - maybe someone can enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
