Morbid_DK 10 Posted September 10, 2011 hopefully the pvp will be fixed to not only the ai, i mean who needs ai.. All those who play offline, which judging buy the amount of people on the servers, are the vast majority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeyCat 131 Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks for the update, great news! I say, take whatever time you need to make it as good as you can, rushed releases usually fail... /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atkins 10 Posted September 10, 2011 All those who play offline, which judging buy the amount of people on the servers, are the vast majority. Indeed most of the ppl seem to be shooting bots which is completely understandable cos the online experience is not that great with all the warping. Now that PR is out most of the top servers in the server list at EU prime time are luckily PvP action. I can imagine that if 1.60 fixes the warping that there will be even more PR servers ruling the server list and ofc more vA2 with whatnot mods running PvP as well. Which is a good thing, for A2.

Morbid_DK 10 Posted September 10, 2011 I don't think it matters how much the online experience improves. You will always have those that either have shitty connections, or just don't want to interact with other people while gaming. Online and offline are seperate groups.

Atkins 10 Posted September 10, 2011 Estimating with Stetson-Harrison method I would say that offline and online groups are not separate completely. So far I've been mostly playing SP stuff cos the MP experience is horrible (warping). I bet there will be a lot of new players flowing to MP when it will more playable. Pr does it mp side excellently, no more struggling with million different addons and mods. Just one mod and it handles all. The A2's strength of moddability is also its weakness. It is a pretty big struggle to get in to MP game with all the different mods every server runs with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Good to hear that BIS don't give up and move with flankspeed to A3. :) @Atkins sure with better mp browser and players who are able to read+ask+understand anything goes. Sometimes (or was it 90% of the time?) its PEBCAK. ;) Edited September 10, 2011 by NoRailgunner :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Undeceived 392 Posted September 10, 2011 This is how it has to be done! :) If it's not ready, delay it a bit. Good news all in all, thanks, Suma! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nkenny 1051 Posted September 10, 2011 Wait the bad news is that BIS are polishing the patch? Bring on more refinement. -k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morbid_DK 10 Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Granted offline and online groups are not completely separate. I enjoy both. I do think that estimating with the Stetson-Harrison method is superior to common projection. I'd hate to see Arma2 go the same way as so many other games that completely neglected the SP side of the game, to the point of unplayable, to cater for a very vocal MP faction (*cough* Il-2 *cough*). SP does have a life of it's own. If you doubt my words, just read the "User mission requests" thread. Edited September 10, 2011 by Morbid_DK typos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted September 10, 2011 All those who play offline, which judging buy the amount of people on the servers, are the vast majority. A lot of people play coop since AI knows about teamwork more than an average player on a public server and can do more than an average player on a public server - like driving convoys, guarding villages and patrolling.

Fireball 16 Posted September 10, 2011 Good to hear that BIS don't give up and move with flankspeed to A3. :) You should expect, that all these engine fixes (or repro cases) will flow into A3, where applicable. I understand PhysX will make things a lot different, but the basic netcode and AI will probably be ported and adapted, so it does make sense to refine those in a final product like A2/OA, opposed to a pre-alpha stage product.

simon1279 51 Posted September 12, 2011 Thank you Bohemia guys, i can wait even for years if the matters are improvements and stability, thank you very much for your hard work, you' re the best developer and the most serious one in all of the videogaming world, others developers are falling very down right now, expecially in the most selled and popular titles, but you bohemia you're a quality and warranty certificate.

Freeborne 10 Posted September 13, 2011 Great news. Look forward to this :) Will this patch affect dedicated server settings, such as 'MinErrorToSend' value or are they not related in any way? It would be nice if detailed info can be posted in Dev Blogs when it is released, explaining what was changed and how it all works, so server admins can better understand the relationship between all these age-old problems and ensure their servers are tweaked to perfection.

papanowel 120 Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks a lot, it's a good news anyway. Even if we have to wait until we get our hands on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedra 11 Posted September 14, 2011 Excellent news. Managed to dislocate both my shoulders on holiday, so I don't mind the delay as PC gaming (and working) is off the cards until October sometime! I am missing playing Arma, and testing all those betas, but look forward to the fact that 1.6 will be great. Carry on interpolating boys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
