ok this my new topic not my old one.Its just interesting how many people are on BZ2 a day....I don't know..Just asking you..
I myself are on BZ2 anytime around 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on the weekdays
OMG!! MY GAME BLEW UP!
Windy and I play mpi games almost every weeknight from 7pm to 10pmCST. On the weekends we like to hook up with Mathew and others from England and play some in the mornings. We've played a lot of TA5 patch lately, but love to play 1.3pb3 G66 also.
I personally am on every coupla days just to post questions and annoy the old timers; they won't admit it but really do enjoy the silly @#$ questions I post on a regular basis. Seriously, I frequent the place quite often when real life allows the time. This is a great place to hang around and a great bunch of peeps. BNG.
Pretty much, to my parent's annoyance.
Several hours a day, ever since I got back to it about 3 weeks ago. Though I've played BZ1 since 1998 and BZ2 since 2001, yet online only since Christmas Eve 2003. :)

I think he's asking about being ingame ...

Often ... however I'm currently working 60(+) hours a week so its a bit less than in a 40h week.
Currently you can often find me online on weekdays around 21-24:00 CET, in the weekend is when I make (most of) the 20 extra hours and wont be home untill around 23:00 CET, so I wont be playing then :)
Its pretty much all ta5 for me, I have been back a few times to 1.2 before ta5 got released, however, since ta5 I upgraded my graphics drivers and 1.2 now simply runs poorly so I'm no longer playing it.
Im actually in the chat quite often. I tend to come home, sign in, talk to much and promptly leave, especially the last two weeks while my best mates are over in Florida without me...
As for playing... its rare. Once the e-pack is out ill be playing quite a lot because to be honest im really enjoying playing with it. i would like to see more strategy though. Im bored of the whole, oh no we are fifteen minutes into an MPI, now its just maulers and titans for the rest of the game... BORING.
Once thats out... i'll be playing a lot more often, and testing 1.3 as well. I would of course, like to release my mod at some point as well, so i really need to get back to working on that.
Well, I'm usually busy, so I don't find myself playing BZ2 multiplayer much anymore.
Rocket... good to see you registered here at last :lol:

I do agree on that, though a simple adjustment in some of the existing AIPs can easilly make a change to it ... (for your own enjoyment ofcourse)
Aside from 1.3 test games, which I have not been doing lately, almost never. Ever since the early days when I had too bad a ping to play, I have modded, and that is really what I end up doing.

I intend to make AIPs different on what they do and not give them a difficulty as other parameters will change that, the AIPs will tell the AI how to fight and what to send out .. not how much scrap the AI gets and how much heavy units it will send out.
So you'll end up with for instance an AIP that only sends out hoverunits, or no walkers, or no atanks, etc etc ('no bomber' will be a button that makes the dll spawn an object so the AIPs can know not to build one/the bay..).
That way you can use the AIP to make a difference in how the AI plays instead of how they now tend to work which is basicly as an add. difficultyslider.
That said, I am interested to see a beserk mode :)
Jamsh and I have tried several games with no success. We may need some top players to test the AIPs fully before release.
Nielk1, if you need a tester, just PM me. I have lots of time all around the clock (vacation now). The only downside is, that my graphics card tends to occasionally crash. Though a reboot will fix that till the next crash. If I'm lucky, the crash is only "minor", meaning the textures aren't messed up too badly for it to be completely unplayable.
About the AIPs: Now the reason I love FE's MPI so much compared to 1.3 MPI, is because it doesn't go like this: "First few mins some scouts and other light units, after that just heavy units and if ISDF, a bomber for the REST OF THE GAME" (something TJ already pointed out). Instead it throws everything at you whole game, though of course at the start you'll see some lighter units. I mainly play against Hadeans, because I find them the hardest. Mainly due to the Cerberi spamming themselves out of the portals and their occasional rampage units and monster runs (Gorgons). They simply put an awesome addition to the bio-metal grinder. And if not greased accordingly, may prove fatal to you. G66 does this too, but with less variety.
Adding a few statues and other big gun towers across the maps to "make things harder" doesn't do any good really. Nor does it make it harder. It merely slows down the inevitable: the destruction of the immensely stupid AI who sends walkers and maulers at you which are, oh, so easy to strafe.
What I personally would like to see added to 1.3 MPI is the difficulty FE and G66 can offer, and if possible, the insane difficulty of maps like ZTV: The Long Journey.
Cheers.
I am on BZ2 on TA5 about 2 times a week
im usually on 1.2 with /poweruser enabled in the shortcut, sometimes if theirs a 1.3 game i like, i join it
but i don't join zsts either so theirs hardly ever anything around.
usually on 7am -9pm central (GMT -6:00)
Fulmen, youre on regularly it seems and a good player? Want to test the add-on pack? Catch me on MSN or something mate...
The Beserks are just an aip set designed to work with stock. There are still bugs, which im squashing as i go. The AI cheat, a lot. But its there to make the game difficult. I could probably create a much more dynamic AI if i had the time, but i think this will keep the score covered for now.
Alright. I'll talk to you about it on MSN.
